SM

Warning, this post may be offensive to some readers. This evening I was catching up on outside work since the temperature was a little above freezing, making working outside bearable. As darkness fell I decided it was time to go in. Plus because of noon cranberry juice, I really had to "go", then I was thinking that I am out in the country, it's getting dark, there's no one around and I just cleaned the washroom. So I marked my territory, not just marked it, I wrote my initials in the snow, not just wrote them, I used a heavy font. I didn't have to "go" enough to spell my full name, so I just stuck with SM. The odd thing about this is that even though I have lived in Canada all my life, plus lived in the country most of my life, I have never done that before, wrote in the snow that is. I have to wonder, am I improving or regressing. Made me wonder about a lot of other silly things that I have never done. Like the game "never have I ever", my list would be too long, not that I haven't tried at times. Sometimes I think everyone just has to let go a little, live a little, I caused myself to miss out on a lot of experiences. Funny things like skinny dipping, never did that, wanted to try it but just never had the chance. I think it's too late now for many things, getting caught up in the moment is a life experience, doing something just to mark an X on some list seems sad in a way. Other things just don't interest me, like sex on the kitchen table, first let me say yuck, I would burn the table after, plus how uncomfortable would that be. Bungee jumping, makes absolutely no sense to me, I wouldn't judge someone else for doing it but it's not for me. Anyway I don't want to question my life now, all I did was write in the snow. Oddly enough it was still my hand writing which is strange considering I wasn't using a pen.

It's things like this that make life fun. I do many things like this in life a year. Life is long and we get one so have fun and let go. I still have things I want to try.

But when it comes to games Truth or Dare I won't play...that has gotten me into trouble too many times.lol

Here, that sort of behaviour is called devilment

It is never too late to do something a bit crazy. I would never bungee jump myself, but I try and live on the edge once in a while. It doesn't matter what the "edge" is. For everyone it is different. My biggest feat for me is zip-lining in Costa Rica. I have an enormous fear of heights but I did it anyway! I loved your last line about how it still was your handwriting. I have never thought about that before! Enjoy your holiday!

I grew up in Missouri. My friends and I always tried to write our names with pee in the snow when we were out drinking when we were in grade school and high school. We were bad Catholic boys.

I am deeply offended by this post. What do you think you were doing, being outside when the temperature is anywhere near the freezing point? Haven't you ever heard of frostbite?? You should stay inside where it is warm, sitting on your couch, drinking cranberry juice and eating Christmas baking.

Laurent, you just gave me a Christmas gift by calling me young lol, Merry Christmas to you and your snuggle bunny.

Steven, I have the feeling that the game truth or dare with you would be a lot of fun!

John, and what do you know of devilment, plenty I suspect!

Michael 54, good for you going zip lining, that is something I want to try. My last boyfriend took me to explore caves one time, they had zip lining there but before got to go back the company folded.

Mr Lurker, thanks for looking after my... my... ummm health. Don't worry nothing gets exposed to extreme cold, too much shrinkage damages my ego!
