So, I go out of my way to do random stuff at random intervals.
Some friends and I are spread over UK at various Universities, and we're going to all head into London and drink cocktails (any Milk and Honey members here?) - we organized it about 5 minutes ago, and thats our weekend planned. Am grabbing a train in about 30 minutes.

Some of my other, boring, friends are in awe that we do stuff like this - I think its healthy to be random.
How random/spontaneous are you?

Let me think about this and get back to you.

You going to get drunk is not what I'd call "spontaneous." Can't wait to see the thread later titled, "cok"

I keed, I keed. You're aces. I'm certainly not that spontaneous anymore. Dragging kids around kinda puts a damper on that. So does aging, I suppose.

Kids need more structure than adults do. It would have to be something they want to do for it to be worth while for you, or you'll hear about it the whole time.

Have they eaten?

Gone potty?

Had a nap yet?

Will these things happen while you're out?

Not saying it's impossible, but more fore thought is better, which is then anti-spontaneous.

Or did you mean just skip out anyway?

just skip out anyway, and deal with consequences later.

I'm spontaneous to the point where it's probably my greatest weakness. The only thing I ever plan in advance is tickets to concerts.

Even plane flights I end up leaving till I get to the airport. >_<

I'm like that even with important things because I always figure "eh, it'll be right". And so far, it always has been

It's really gonna bite me on the ass one day.

It depends on what you mean. I'm a very deliberate person, but I consciously put a lot of flexibility into my plans because nothing ever goes the way you think it will.
