You know. Non sexual. Cool Challenges? Adrenaline laced fun? Recently for me, it's tennis. Before it was getting on the sprinter without buying a ticket.

If we don't want try new things, we might as well die.

Writing. I have been wanting to write a series for a long time, and the ideas for one that have been stirring around in my head for the past six years are finally coming to fruition. I'm really digging it!!

Movies, I LOVE MOVIES!!

Me too! Very Happy I'm writing six novels right now, and it's taking forever. I'll probably finish in about ten years.

I'll say that flying planes made me feel most alive. The main reason for that is the fact that the planes were not air-worthy. Yeah, you feel most alive when your about to die.

Ha, Amsterdam, haven't been there, but I bet that was fun. When I went to Mexico my husband had a whole bunch of Mexicans saying "You want Cuban Cigar...Something better?" One even offered to fill his backpack full of Mota for $100, but declined. Policia being one of those reasons.

I'll probably finnish one in 10 years, so you're doing better than I am. I'm still doing map work, and gathering as much outside information as I can and on top of that writing. I find it engaging.

Haha, do you set in the front or the back. You sit in the back and you feel the full effects of every turn. It's horrifying.

If you go to Amsterdam, don't let your husband out of your sight. Looooottttaaaa easy girls in Amsterdam. Also if you get high, don't leave your hotel, cause you're not coming back, tonight. Wink

When you picture your novel, is it an anime? Creating characters can be difficult, and once I substitute my character with an anime character, the story writes itself. It's a little trick I picked up. Daydreaming is how I get most of my ideas.

I was the one flying the plane. Thats why I said you feel most alive. You never know if the plane would just break apart. It's also fun to try and land the plane on the landing strip when there are cows or even people in the way.

Kay. That makes much more sense. Holy shit what model plane? The double cockpit double winged one with the funny mask and scarf? A 747? Spill it!

You think I'd look funny flying a relic with a scarf around my neck, don't you? What I was flying was a old PA-28-140 Cherokee Cruiser 2+2. They were old, and sometimes had to be jump started, but they still flew and were great for training pilots. I was doing the fight training when I was 16 and in school. It ended up being too much. Studying for school and for the courses was way too much.

Actually, believe it or not I can't let my husband get around weed. He can't smoke just a little, it's got to be everyday all the time.

In novel writing I actually picture live action. But I do find it helpful to substitute with an anime character like you said. I also get onto "baby naming" websites and look up different meanings of names and their origin. That helps immensely.

Already been twice, once in 2004 and once in 2006. I agree, though, very very very fun. Here's a story about Amsterdam-

So I met this girl from New Zealand when I was in Paris- five years older than me (I was 20) and very cute. I tell her I'm headed to Amsterdam next and she says maybe she'll head there too. When I'm there I run into her (which was lucky because she wrote down my e-mail wrong) and we end up hanging out and grabbing some dinner. After dinner we decided to take a walk through the red light district just to check things out. As anyone who's been to Amsterdam can tell you, it's difficult to walk around the red light without drug dealers trying to sell you ecstasy and cocaine (which are illegal even in Amsterdam). So after a little while she turns to me and says, "Do you want to do some E (ecstasy) and see a sex show?" After carefully considering the matter I replied, "Yes. Yes, I do."

I won't get into the details about everything that happened later, but I'll just say I highly recommend the experience.

Oh, and the Anne Frank house. That was also interesting.

Hmm... Don't tell me you let her get away....

Well that's no fun. And using those baby sites works? I end up spending an hour or two scrolling for the damn perfect character names. I ended up pulling a Michael Scott and naming my characters after people I know. It was intensely easy after that.

What's your story about? I won't copy, promise. Unless I had already thought it.....

A little funny, yes. I figure it would be easier than an iron bus. So uhh... anybody can get into these schools, huh?

You had to have maths and science as subjects in school, and do well in each subject. Other than that, you need money and lots of it. Despite what I said, the air-school I went to was fairly decent and safe. There are a few bad air-schools where flying a plane = suicide.
