What's the most spontaneous thing you've done?
My best friend and ex boyfriend (who both live in London) decided at about 11pm that it would be a fantastic idea to come up and visit me... now. So they've hopped in the car and are doing the 115mile drive to come and see me for an hour or so!
I think that's pretty spontaneous.
So, what's everyone else done? Entertain me monkeys, i've got an hour and a half to kill before they arrive!

But well done, just for answering my question. I'm not sure about being spontaneous, i know i must be just on the fact that i don't do planning, but i can't think of anything specific. hmm.
I don't know if this is spontaneous, I'd say it's just random. For some time, I used to get off at random stations from the metro, just to have a look around and see what each place was like. Once I walked from one of them to the next too.
Applying for my ATC studies was as well. I was running around on the last day of sending in applications because I saw the ad so late and decided it was something I couldn't miss.
I can't think very well now but there's a lot of important stuff I've done spontaneously. I do like it.
It's OK...he paid!!
ETA: The taxi fare that is.....
Yeah, actually, i do things like that. I was at work and decided i wanted a new car. A phonecall, a visit to my bank, 48 hours and a play on ebay later... and i had one
I almost bought a house like that at auction, but decided that in the end it wouldn't be a fantastic idea
I'd like to try this whole "oh I just booked a flight to city X for tomorrow" deal. I think it'd be great to just book and GO somewhere and see what I end up doing.
I just don't feel that the lot around me are as spontaneous and willing to join in. hrmpf.
Paid for what precisely? :eek2:
Although when I was about 16 I had my belly button pierced on the spur of the moment.
I dyed my hair black from it's natural colour, on a whim about a month ago...
Not life changing, but spontaneous all the same!
Ohh...just realised how that sounded!!!
I did that! It's fun. I'd been playing with the idea for a while though. That's how i got about 5 of my piercings as well - it was an 'ooh, i'm bored, what shall i do?' moment.
Ahh, bless ya. What were you doing in Edinburgh?
As for me, I moved somewhere random where I didn't know a soul. Not much planning involved at all, just thought fuck it might aswell - got a job and things grew from there.
I don't really plan things out or prepare things ages in advance, might aswell just get out and do them and only really look back on it when I'm 75.
Interesting to make big decisions and stuff like that...not sure I ever have without giving it a fair bit of thought first, but think a lot of good can come from kind of going outside yourself for a bit and just going with your gut...:thumb:
Oh...and was in Edinburgh visiting a (girl) friend who lives there..we went out, and at the end of the night, I just jumped in a taxi and went to his in Glasgow....don't get to be in Scotland that often, so y'know...thought it was best to make the most of at least being in the same country....:hyper:
Gah. I'm an idiot. zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz
i love being spontaneous
Top that, you bores.
Yeah haha, I did that.
Most spontaneous thing I've ever done though was on Monday morning. Sitting in my mates car, with her and our other best mate, driving to college... and then one announces
"Stuff this, shall we go to Barmouth?"
A quick three point turn and two and a half hours later we were sunbathing on the beach
Brilliant day.
That pretty much sums up my time at college, apart from replace Barmouth with the pub lol
I once poured an entire can of coke over my head while sitting on a bed in a hotel room after just getting ready to go out for no reason.
My fella made an incredibly spontaneous decision to leave his home, work, friends... life in Thailand behind to come back here and see if we could turn a daft wee fling into something more serious
I'm not sure I do spontaneous, at least not in a big way like some of the responses on here!
We met a group of people on hol last year who said that after a drinking session in the local, they had this great idea to go to the airport and go on holiday.
So they all ran home, packed a case each, hammered - and got in a taxi to the airport - on the way phoning parents, partners etc to let them know they wouldn't be home for a week!!
Only to find they couldn't buy a ticket to fly straight away, I guess you need like 24hrs notice and by then they'd have been sober.
Must have been weird if they'd have woken up on a beach with a big suitcase and even bigger hangover. Made me chuckle anyway.
I could just pack my stuff and trip to salzburg, what's the big deal? :razz:
yeah, was clearly your best decision ever
turned out the last train was going to birmingham!! so we all hopped on and had a jolly good time mucking round before heading back the following night. (sooo knackered i might add!)
im still suprised to this day that all of us actually had the dosh on us to actually afford it! :eek2:
Maybe that was more stupid than spontaneous knowing that i have an essay due in 1 hours time. :rolleyes:
I realised the next day how stupid I had been and how I could NOT afford this, so I cancelled it after a few days.
Surely there is quicker ways to get 50 cash back!!
You must have been sitting there like "come on... come on... JUST GIVE ME THE DAMN CONTRACT!!"
