![]() I guess music and fashion doesn't seem adventurous to me because I often don't give a fvck what people think. I've recently shifted my wardrobe to be more professional, not because I feel pressured to, but because I feel more professional these days. Even while doing that I bought a rather short dress with a striking print that I would definitely label a "risk" but all I ended up with was complements. Being bold is more fun than stressful for me these days. I realize I was hung up on the word "adventure" in this context, where I'd just call it "trying new things" or "leaving your comfort zone". To me these are vastly different concepts. I agree that pairing or grouping pushes you to do more. GD and I help each other to get out of the house. I know that without you guys we wouldn't have done a quarter of the fun things we've done since the LoT came to be.

HI!
|
I think what makes a differnce to me in describing one as "adventerous" is that they do these "risky", "different" or "adventerous" things regularly. Everyone takes a certain amount of risk at times, but if you are willing to have fun and play on a regular basis with clothes, music, places you visit, activities you participate in then I would define that person as being adventerous.

Whether or not it's less "adventurous," I don't much like roughing it any more.
While I still want to organize a LoT camping trip for next Spring ... I find I'm more the cabin type than the tent type nowadays. And if I find myself trekking across Europe, it will be from hotel suite to hotel suite. But the urge to trek across Europe, and to be close to nature so I can kayak on the river and climb high in the mountains is still there. A bit has changed with age ... but mostly due to creature comfort desires rather than adventure yen changes. |

Also, I am booking hotels all up the coast of CA/OR and then back down the innerds of CA and when I was younger, price was it. I wanted to save money, I wasn't worried what we would get, as long as it was clean, heck it was only one night. But, I just CAN'T do it!! I am booking nicer places, even if we are just going to be there to sleep and breakfast. Is this a sign of age or an indication that I am paranoid of freaks and bed bugs?

There's also the fact that the world has lost it's innocence and the media breeds paranoia - EG. we were contemplating a camping trip to newnes http://www.lisp.com.au/~newnesk/ and we would have done this in a flash while we were young and didn't think too much about things - but now we're older and wiser, and considering that society is changing for the worse (for example, the likes of Ivan Milat and the Balangalow State Forest Murders), are you all that safe sleeping in a tent with only a bit of material between you and a knife ? And then there's the thought of child-molesters hanging around campsites to perv on your kids in the communal shower blocks etc... Let's face it - you can't do things now that you could years ago - like hitch-hike your way around the country, or sleep on the beach, or even sleep in your car at the side of the road ! The more you know about the modern world and the people in it, the scarier it becomes, and the less you want to expose yourself to the danger. Having said that, we're probably still going to Newnes this year ![]()
