Conversation starter

In an effort to liven up the board, I thought we could come up with some fun conversation starters...so....

What is the most spontaneous thing you've you ever done?

Damn you Nest for screwing up my siggy!

Re: Conversation starter

  • I am more of a planner so this is a tough one...

    I would love to just one day get up a say, lets go on a roadtrip or catch the next flight to "fill in the blank"  My sister just did this and although I thought she was crazy, I was like, that's awesome.

    At this point in our life, things need to be planned.

  • I'm a planner.

    BUT, once, not long after we got married, I went to visit MH in AK.  I came home.  He found out he might be deployed.

    I flew back.  I was literally home for 27 hours and I was back on an airplane.  I called him at work on my way to the airport and said "Can you be at the airport at [whatever time I was landing]"

  • It makes me sad that i can't think of an answer to this question. I'm sure I did things in college, I have to think

  • I too am a planner...but this new job I just took I did so without consulting with MH. Is that spontaneous enough?

    the only thing I can think of was dirty and from before I met MH. Embarrassed

    My second thought was when we first started dating and fair warning: you'll either Awww or vomit in your mouth a little. LOL  Here goes:

    The first time I spent the night at Greg's place, he had to work the next morning, so left me this sweet note and a key to the apartment (in case I needed to run out for anything before he got home.)  When he did get home later, he told me to just keep the key.  (We'd been dating ~2, 2 1/2 weeks, maybe?)

    A few days later, I got off work ~6ish. (He had bowling that night so wasn't home.)  I went out and bought new pillows because I couldn't stand the ones he had and went up to his place, let myself in, etc.  We were talking as he was driving home from bowling and he kept teasing that he was going to drive down to my place and see me.  (Yes, this is the vomitty part - we joked like that often then.)  I kept teasing if he did, I'd be mad, or I wasn't home because I was at his place, etc.  Little did he know... I WAS at his place.  Waiting in the living room.  With new pillows on his bed.

    That was about as spontaneous, perhaps.  Like others have said, I'm a planner. LOL

  • There is one thing but it's TMI, and I am not putting it out there for all the interwebs to reed.

  • Sorry, I posted my question and then ran off.

    Besides the TMI stuff that everyone prob has...

    I guess booking our Mexico trip was kind of spontaneous.  it was just "Hmm...I feel like going on a beach vacation" and it was booked.  We honestly didn't research many hotels or anything, just picked one.

    And the house thing is spontaneous for me too.  I would normally NEVER buy a new house w/o first selling my current house.

    Damn you Nest for screwing up my siggy!

    Vacation
  • I was definitely more spontaneous in college.  Our senior year (it was our last semester) a group of us decided to up and go to New Orleans for a long weekend.  Booked the flight and left the following day (this was pre 9/11 so booking a flight the day before wasn't a big deal.  Now it would probably be flagged by security).  But we had a very very good time.
