Do you ever just go out no matter what the time?
Sometimes i just feel like I'm sick of doing the same things something different would be nice, Its raining like hell and i just got back in for one of my "Random Bike Rides" where i just put in the earphones listen to Eminem and go wherever my mind takes me, I ended up at the 2 lakes (its a park with bike ramps and its also where people fish) it took about 20 minutes to get there crossing roads took the most time.
I was paying attention to the wet paths and all the snails making sure i don't hit them as i can't stand hurting things if i can avoid it. The world looks beautiful in the rain, Anyway so i went whizzing around this park in 7th gear, And in the park there if a wooden bridge, i didn't think i just went full speed and off, Wet musky wood, My back tyre went sliding and i was holding on for dear like on the side of the bridge, As soon as i crashed i just got back on my bike continue riding around the park but went a different route, 2 kids called me over to try get up the ramp they was on top of, They was only like 14 I'm 19 so i went over there but i couldn't lol the rain don't help, But at least i got a stunt bike which is really light so i was mucking around there for awhile, then back to listening eminem i was there for like 30 minutes, Then made my way home, Still admiring the beauty and taking different routes to have a change, Also trying to no hands next to a main road was abit stupid . So i eventually got home avoiding snails, But then i hit 2 right next to my gate! ohh the agony of crushing a poor defenceless snail. As soon as i got home i got in my PJ's and come on here! I could go into more detail but i think that is enough. Oh i forgot to mention it was at like 8:30PM i left. So do you ever just get out of your house?

I often spontaneously leave home for days going on mini-trips near and far. I had an extreme case of wanderlust in my youth (never staying one place for more than a month at a time), and even now that I am older I still find myself going off at odd hours for no other reason than to travel. It certainly helps that I have friends and family scattered across the globe, and they are all willing to put me up for a few days/weeks.

I start having emotional issues and build up ridiculous amounts of stress if I'm indoor for more than a few hours (Unless I'm sleeping). So yes I do go out randomly for usually 30 minute - 1 hour walks/jogs/bike rides 2 times a day excluding my regular day businesses. And because of this, I know like every single road and corner and walkway in this half of the city from wandering so much.
My latest is probably 2 am walks which happens when I have to take an all-nighter. Usually it's an hour or 2 after dinner. If there's a thunderstorm, I go to sleep. (Thankfully I fall asleep easily and do not have insomnia) I've only freaked out in explosive rage and irritation twice in highschool. |

I'm going to be the first person here to say no. It's ridiculous, but my parents insist on me being home past 7 PM, unless I happen to be working or studying.
I don't mind a lot though. I sleep a lot, so being home a lot isn't that bad for me. If it happens to be past 1 PM, I'm less inclined to go out. If it's after 9AM and before 1PM, then I'm more likely to go out. Don't know why. |

I'm usually at home by 7:30 pm (work ends at 6:30 pm).
And I won't go out after that. On day offs I would go out at random times of the day if I feel like it - go to the gym, buy something from the sportshop, get a massage.. whatever I think of. The most late time I went home is 4 in the morning, it's because I attended a wake. The streets were eerily silent and it's a little scary.

I'll get out, alright...usually after lunch or during the afternoon hours. I once went to a friend's place for a movie and we stayed till 2 am. Then I had to walk around 2 miles...all alone in a dark, empty city. Scary stuff was scary enough for me never to do that again :P

I like to go on spontanious bike/walking trips with a friend of mine every now and again. We will just be chilling and all of sudden its like, "lets go for a stroll or lets bike ride somewhere". For are bike rides we usually make a day thing out of biking arounf for the entire day, I've got so many miles recorded on my bike from those rides.

I have been in an incident with lightning that gave me a few 'perks' (miscellaneous mental disorders >_O). I don't live with my family. It's out-of-the-blue stress that comes from seemingly nothing. If you're talking about safety, then yes it's safe-ish here. You got hit by lightening? id rather much inherent disorders through that then be born with them like i am, Instead of oh yeh i got oct, id be like ONE DAY A FUCKING BOLT OF LIGHTENING HIT ME AND GAVE ME OCD HOW COOL RIGHT?

I haven't done it in years. Perhaps back when I did it more frequently I was unhappy and felt stifled. It's kind of strange that now I am free to go anywhere and do anything, but I largely stick to a routine. Even when I have gone off and done something spontaneous, I didn't get the same thrill or enjoyment from it that I used to. My guess is that I'm happier where I am now, but I don't know if that's really it. I hope I'm still able to feel those same emotions of joy and wonderment as I used to by simply taking a different route home, or going somewhere unplanned.

i remember once i went to a late night movie show with my friends, the movie ended at 1:30am, then we went on a long bike ride, driving on main road, with almost no traffic and cool wind, really great , then we had a sizzling brownie with vanilla ice cream at a 24 hour cafe, then got home by 4 am in the morning
