(reverse those to get the truth).
Jumping down a flight of stairs constitutes ‘athletic superiority’ to you – that’s to be expected given your idea of athleticism is racing your mom to give head to auto

Outdoors is the challenge and it varies … mood, distance/space until the 1st step - 20+ meters is ideal to run full speed before a jump, also what I’m wearing e.g. shoes/kicks … shirt/sweater because scrapes are inevitable sometimes … but I could jump and I could run and if I see something enticing I might very well ask you to please hold my bag as I jump that flight of stairs
That sounds pretty difficult, as Of_gold said, up or down? You could really do some damage jumping so many stairs! I watched a programme the other day about Tibetan Monks, they were going down the stairs on their hands and feet - head first, why dont you try that? It looks hard though
You got to give it to the monks they’re trying real hard to keep themselves busy waiting for the Dalai Lamai. But there is no adrenaline rush in that at all. And I’d don’t think I would feel any satisfaction from doing that. Jumping stairs can be a little dangerous and I’ve been hurt a few times but if the showoff element is eliminated then the danger of over doing it or trying to do something that might hurt you is eliminated. The thrill is jumping down and not jumping up. I’m sure we all hop several stairs going up but there's no pleasure in that - maybe a little bit. Jumping up stairs is very limiting and there is no goal. When you jump down a flight of stairs there is a goal - from point A to Point B. And stairs also vary a lot, some are short steps and some a long – some have obstructions and some like the ones outdoors don’t have walls hence you could use the open pavement to break your fall which in this case is necessary because you used speed for such a jump.
Next time you see a flight of stairs count 8 steps and you’ll see it is not that much – with each step after that then it becomes a little challenging. So try it out for fun – count 4 steps and jump. I’m sure you could do that.
Naturally don’t do it with high heels or with a nice outfit on – but put on a pair of sweats and put on your sneakers and do it Then go for 5 steps and so on. Once you are comfortable, do the same outdoors where you won’t have a wall to obstruct your landing. Do this with the same amount of steps (4) but of course this time you have space to run before you make your leap. See how far you land from the last step – this should give you an estimation of how many steps you could jump.
Have fun
ARE YOU INSANE!!!!
Why would I do that? I dont have a death wish, has no one ever told you that impact sports are bad for you???
(Harry Enfield's voice 'that bloke's a NUTTER' in my head!)
So really then what you are telling us is you are an adrenaline junkie - hmm, i can see that, it fits your persona You should try climbing, thats good for adrenalin junkies, I used to do it, I loved it, but not for the adrenalin, for the challenge, I would be more likely to rise to a challenge that involved strength and endurance rather than adrenalin fix's (thats probably why I am on ES)

He’s a little fag and I think auto will be in for a surprise when he sees the drumming crabs and little Indians coming out of Leito mom’s trout going …hey-YA …hey-YA …hey-YA…hey-YA …hey
Oh nevermind Auto is only after da asssssssssssss nothing but da asssssssss
The little fag demonstrated he is not only a little fag but also a feeble punk ass as well. I mean there’s a woman here who runs marathons and there’s another guy who does 90 consecutive minutes of intense cardio AND intense resistance training – we are talking about 150 BPM for over an hour. I loathe feeble little faggots who are so weak and so easily manipulated by a wrinkled kitty. He is a little fag talking about giving Esso head, talking about his bewbies and calling me sexy. The little feeble faggot repulses me.

The only tattoo I ever thought about getting was an olive tree with the roots on my lower back. I don't like pain though so I haven't yet. I used to have a belly button piercing but it kept getting pulled on my pants so I took it out.
Something that makes me laugh is on my car I have a sticker that says "Regime change begins at home." Anyone who has a "W" sticker, I just want to run them off the road.
SWYS, you'll probably like this, I used to have a sticker on my car that said "Frodo failed, Bush has the ring." (I know you would understand that.)

Hahaha, Alchemist! I like it. We went to a favourite restaurant, over the weekend and I thought of you - as you would love it. It's magical and in Edinburgh, so get over here and we can go. I posted details for you about it 'elsewhere'.

It doesnt hurt on the back Alchemist. The only places I heard that it really hurts is on the neck, and I would never get something that could not be covered with clothing because of my profession. It just felt a little like a sunburn after I had mine done.
The man who did my tattoo is an excellent artist who looks at skin as an empty canvas. He doesnt use those generic designs since he is a real artist who attended a college of proffesional arts. Each one of his tattoos is freehand original designs that he does based on your idea of what you want done. I researched tattoo artists so I did not do it on impulse. Mine is beautiful and I have absolutely no regrets.

I have 5 tattos and i hate them now well almost I have one that is really special its simba from the lion king. My 16 yrs old has a toy simba when he was 1 and he still has it. He got into a bit of trouble and went to a treatment center a few years ago. I really had a hard time dealing with it so i went and got the Simba for my love for him. Its really nice it was free handed.

They are haram as far as I know, I had mine before i became muslim, thats probably the biggest reason i dont want them on me anymore, but i cant afford to get rid of them yet . I watched a programme about an American Revert that had tattoos of arabic writing or maybe even verses (cant remember) on his arm, when he first reverted, because he didnt realise they were haram. Then when he made wudu in the mosque everyone looks at him - what a shame!

Yes they are haram. Not that it ever bothered me I never had the slightest inclination to get a tattoo. I wanted the leave this world the way I entered, naked and screaming. LOL Just kidding. Seriously, I actually love to see some tattoos on people, I think many are so unique and special. When my husband sees them on TV he thinks the people look dirty. Is this cultural?

probably, moreso in cultures where they are haram of course, but even in western societies they have always been associated with lower class.
Even though it is no longer a class thing in the west, I think that stigma always stayed within my psyché because If i wanted to dress smart and couldnt hide it, i dint feel 100% comfortable.
Maybe it goes back to tribal markings, celtish thugs etc

Not to offend anyone with tattoos but I associate tattoos with drinkers, heavy metal, burglars, sailors, people in prison.... sorry again as it might sound hard for some.

It's just a stereotype, many of us have that still. I do believe the sterotype of the tattoo is beginning to really fade. Since these countries are usually 20 years behind the times I guess around 2030 they might begin to see it as 'ok'.

I have my ears pierced twice in each ear, also my targus, which is near the inner part of the ear attached near the face. I rarely wear earings other than the one in the targus..this is very small and rainbow coloured.
I have my nose peirced, but wear just a simple diamond coloured stone.
I had my belly button pierced but took it out as it was rubbing against my jeans button.
I have 6 tattoos, a small black buttrfly at the base of my spine, a blue rose on my shoulder blade, tinkerbelle the fairy on my right ankle, a flower fairy on my right foot, a unicorn at the top of my arm/shoulder and a celtic band on my arm under the unicorn.
So i rebelled a little about 12 years ago!! i do regret the celtic band and keep my arms covered regardless.
tattoos are addictive and i HATE needles!!

I had my tongue pierced a few years ago. It was like pushing a skewer through a bit of steak, over the next two days my tongue swelled up over the 1 ½ “ spike, my mouth was constantly full of blood and I couldn’t eat anything. I had it taken out on the third day mind you it was the best diet I had ever tried, I dropped about 5lbs in those few days.

I have had no problems with any of my piercings. Yes,tongue swelled as with any surgical procedure. Your bleeding must have been due to an unskilled piercer who hit a lingual vein.

ok, I have been away for a week and haven't read all posts yet but no tattoos or piercings for me either. If I just SEE a needle, I feel dizzy so when a doctor has to take blood, I always ask to lie down. When I was 20, I had a fake tattoo on my shoulder. It looked sexy, got it for free when I bought a pair of jeans if I remember correctly. After 10 days I took it off with baby-oil.

How did this turn into a post about tattoos - my fault I guess, I was hoping for us to find one little thing out about each other, now we know all about each others body art
so I will divulge another:
I love animals and I used to hand rear cockatiels

This is a little bit more interesting than my last piece of knowledge about me
I did a tandem sky dive with the Red Devils. It was the most exciting/terrifying moment of my life (up until know ) we jumped out at approximately 13,000ft and free-fell of just under 30 seconds at over 100 miles an hour. The air temperature was -13 degrees when we left the plane because in my wisdom I decided to do my jump in the middle of Winter, this is not advisable to all you thrill seekers out there as I’m sure it’s much more enjoyable doing this in the height of Summer. When the parachute opened I was yanked back up, this REALLY hurt, and eventually came to a safe but undignified landing. It’s a very strange feeling floating quietly to the ground after the feeling and noise of free-falling.
I was so hyped after completing the jump it took a couple of days for me to ‘come down’. I promised myself I would do one every year but 8 years down the line I haven’t managed to do another.

I could never pierce anything other than my ears (they were pierced as a baby). Some of you must have an incredible threshold for pain!

You should try it! I’m making a list of crazy things I want to try, so far I’ve ticked off the parachute jump, white water rafting and learning to ride a motor bike (last one not so crazy but I’d always wanted to do it) next two things on my list are to complete a bungee jump and to dive with Great White sharks. I would obviously be in a cage with the sharks as I don’t have a death wish but just in case it all goes terribly wrong I haven’t come up with a third thing for the list. My family are asking me just to travel and see the world not risk life and limb by doing insane things. I leave for Jordan early next year to trek a week in the desert so I shall get back to the list after that, any suggestions to extend my list will be gratefully received.
