hah if anyone knows the random 'getsome' person on irc/webchat thats meeeeeeeeee woo!

so hello! in forum form! forgot i signed up to BL :D

edit: im 20, from the UK! woo!
i love gaming, outdoorsy stuff and partying ofc :)
 
Glad you remembered your account Mootts.

I like outdoorsy stuff too. What's your favourite activity? Personally mine is week long river canoe trips but sailing and fishing are close seconds.
 
I used to be in scouts. I haven't done anything water related in a lonnggg time, but I really loved Kayaking, Canoeing and building Rafts (i did a little sailing, but not much to really get into it)

I canoe'd for a week across Scotland when I was around 14.
Only ever tried fishing when I was younger, catching tadpoles in a net haha.

I'm glad I remembered too :) who were you on irc?
 
I've never really used IRC except for a few specific occasions and honestly don't recall what handle I used. I don't even think I have a client installed at the moment. Actually I do have chatzilla on firefox I suppose.

Far out man! I'm 25 at the moment and have firm plans to spend my entire 29th year doing all the things you say you wish you did when you were younger when you get older. Lost a serious girlfriend because I refused to make a commitment to settle down until 30. Anywhoo one of them is to hike the coast to coast walk in England. Likely around the time of the fringe festival in Edinborough as well. Have you done the hike or been to the festival?

Ahh ok, I just assumed because of the 'Glad you remembered your account Mootts.'

That's a really good plan, getting out there before coming back and settling down. Sorry to hear about that, at least you're staying true to yourself and putting yourself first before you tie down and start putting yourself last.
The person you spend your life with will be lucky to have someone with no doubts or regrets that has done all the things they set out to do/wanted to do.

You deserve it, your future deserves it :)

Sorry if i'm not making any sense, i'm a little wired haha.
No I haven't done the hike or been to the festival. Never heard of coast to coast walk in England, how far is it?
 
Like 300km or so through the lake district and 2 other national parks I don't recall their names. From the Irish Sea to the North Sea.
 
Ah, I've hiked through lake district before. Mmm national parks can't think of any from the top of my head.
300km.. man.. thats a loooooooooong walk. Would be pretty adventurous and eye-opening though i expect.
 
Well I wouldn't walk it all at once haha.

I've biked 600km from Toronto to Montreal over 10 days so I could always snag a cycle but I'm pretty sure the path is mostly unmarked and there might be tougher trails. Damn you've got me all excited but I still have to work for 4 more years hahaha.

Yeah haha
and wow I've never done anything like that, I don't think I'd have the courage to... Did you do it all by yourself? I keep telling myself to get out there and do something but with the current recession and stuff I'm worried about leaving for a long time and finding it hard to get a job and such.
I'm wanting to travel around the world, just go backpacking wherever. Would NEVER do it alone though.
 
I biked that route with a group of friends the summer after I graduated from uni before starting a real job in the fall. Fun to do but pretty common terrain for people from southern ontario.

If you do couch surfing you can find people to stay with who will also show you around the city and hang out with. I think I'd be happy alone so long as I was in developed countries where I spoke at least some of the language so I could be traveling buddies and get around fine. I think I want to try and trek through rural thailand or something at least once in my life but would need a traveling partner to feel comfortable in that one.

I'm not confident enough in myself to go alone, especially being female I'd feel like everyone was out to get me lol. (anxiety and confidence issues, i'd easily panic by myself)
I can easily navigate and all that, but without a friend there I feel like if something goes wrong a long the way there won't be anyone else there thats in it with me.
I guess going to capital cities etc beats the doubt but I'm wanting to road trip etc as much as the land possible, in whatever direction.
 
just reading all this outdoorsey stuff has made me tired lol...better get to the gym! although i do like a good old camping session
