Whats the most exciting thing thats ever happened to you ?

cazzy · 2007-10-08 18:45:45

My life is pretty dull and boring at the moment - its seems to be all work and no play and I was thinking - whats the most exciting thing that has ever happened to other people ? Maybe something that came out of the blue ? Or just a generally exciting time in your life.

I want to do that!!

Anyways, most exciting thing? Falling in love with a really cool spanish girl at work. When she returned to Barcelona, i was real sad for a week or so. Then I remembered that a guy I know was planning a trip to barcelona, hmmm..... so I gave him a call. I ended up heading over with him and his mates and meeting up with my senorita at a huge street festival at about 2am on a friday night! It was great! Then went back to her apartment and u know... like... *ahem* watched a movie and stuff.

I honestly don't know, opened my eyes to a whole load of people asking me if i was okay... wobbled off at Tara st. station to a lot of stares and "are you sure you're okay?"

EDIT: I just got what you were getting at there, nice. That story isn't about me.

Swimming with sharks was an amazing experience.

On safari in Kenya and some pissed off rhinos ready to charge the vans! And also, getting stick in mud beside a pride of lions...

Deep sea snorkelling in Zanzibar was amazing, but I nearly got pulled under the boat and was a bit scary!

Seeing Metallica, live, right up the front of the pit! And all the big flames they had going on for "Fuel".

The first time I went to London.

Falling in love. Awh!

Working as an extra in "My boy Jack" or something, TV documentary out soon starring Daniel Radcliffe (Harry Potter).

Dressed in WW1 Irish Soldier gear, running through a battlefield with explosions going off in the background, blowing soil sky high and covering you & your eyes, running over the fire and trees etc.

Fun time, not my most exciting thing but only thing coming to mind.

Got paid 125e for "12" hours work, not bad considering I was sitting on my ass talking to a mate of mine for the majority of it.

Most exciting - probably winning a trip to NYC for a few days when I was 18.

Most memorable - the ceiling falling in when I was babysitting one night. Now that I will never forget. Pr!ck never asked me back to babysit after that. Like the ceiling wouldn't have fallen in anyway. Tosser.

I've had a bit of a think about this, and I honestly can't think of anything 'exciting' that's happened to me.

I've had things I've enjoyed, things that have scared the living bejesus out of me (parachuting), things I've been incredibly happy for (wife), but that's it. Even during the firefights, I didn't have time to be excited, and it didn't really come up afterwards either.

I've had an interesting life so far, but not particularly exciting, I don't think.

Snorkelling off the Great Barrier Reef
Backpacking across India
Snowboarding in Biarritz
Body surfing off Hawaii
Powerboating in the Med

That's just a small selection of the exciting things I've never done.
The list is endless really.

Running the bulls in Pamplona last July - nothing beats that adrenalin rush, nothing.
Going off-piste in Austria last February on my second ski holiday.
Breaking my glasses whilst 2500m up a 3500km mountain and having to ski to the bottom half blind on that same holiday.
Hang-gliding off the side of a mountain whilst skiing down it in France in 2006.

It's been a good couple of years!

What about being administered with a massive dose of adrenalin? That would definitely beat it.

Pigheads most exciting moment came when he realised that the pain in the belly he got after his first **** was a total coincidence and wasn't a punishment for being bold. Many happy days ensued.

So you beat an 87 year old man in a game of pool and you think its the most exciting thing thats happened to you. Whats second on your list? Beating Twink in a 100 metre sprint?

Its time to raise the bar babes.
