Thrill Seeker

Are you one?
Or have you never been?

Is it all about adrenalin?
Or can quieter activities be just as thrilling?

I seek the thrill of the coast and mountain views
In all weathers
I like fast rides and I've abseiled and zipwired but it's not something I do on a weekly basis
A couple of times a year is enough! But there something in the possibility of danger that spikes excitement.
Swimming in the sea is quite thrilling as is bellyboarding and kayaking on lakes
Creating stuff that others admire, that can give me a real buzz too

And intimacy, I still find it endlessly thrilling
Physically, mentally and emotionally

Re: Thrill Seeker

I like going out in stormy weather, not so much now but I used to love it.

Watching seeds grow is about as thrilling as things get these days!

Re: Thrill Seeker

Even that is making me pulse race.
Steady on gal.

Re: Thrill Seeker

At times, my life was like a roller coaster, l loved it, l loved the thrill of it all!

These days, it’s best to stick to the penny slots!

Re: Thrill Seeker

I get that though! I I've never quite mastered growing things

Re: Thrill Seeker

Back in the 80's, I got a bit into water skiing though.
I also got whisked up into one of those parachute thingy's being towed along by a speed boat - nearly wee'd meself I did.

I've gone back to watching seeds grow now - it's safer.

Re: Thrill Seeker

In my teens I used to go gliding then joined the parachute club that was based on the same airfield. I had some great times.

I am not a thrill seeker, but when I saw Rudolph Nureyev dancing in the Coppelia ballet, I don't think I blinked through the whole performance!

Re: Thrill Seeker

The event that I found thrilling was when, aged about 18, I went out with a boyfriend and his mother on her boat - Tope Fishing - (shark). I don't know about shark fishing, I was feeling queazy even when she stopped the boat way too far from shore for my liking. There were several other small boats around us doing the same. After a while, I was feeling a little cold, so his mum offered me the use of her jacket, for which I was grateful.

Two minutes later, my line caught something and of course I became very excited at the thought of catching a tope (shark) and being the young, foolish girl I was, started getting all excited and jumping all over the place as I reeled the line in. Everyone on the other boats were all looking at me waiting to see how big the tope was. Pity then that when the fish was reeled in, it happened to be a small but poisonous weever fish that his mum quickly disposed of.
Trouble is, once I was sitting down and started to look at all of the badges on his mum's jacket, I realised what an idiot I must have looked. Every badge was a championship award for Tope fishing! What those people in the other boats must have thought of the expert champion Tope fisherwoman wearing her badge award jacket, jumping up and down in excitement at catching a weever fish. Sigh!
