Most people call this stupid, I call it fun.

Post by The Count »

We went to falstaff and it was fun, got to do some climbing. In the big room thats like 5 stories tall, I climbed up an I beam to the top of the roof, my friend didn't get a picture of me doin that but she did get a picture of me walking the balance beam of death.

Im the kinda person where I see somethin/think somethin and run to it and do it, the consequences don't run through my head, most people sit there for hours and think about if its safe or whatever. I'm like "Oh look!!!!!! and I'm off runnin to it to go do it." Heres a little bit of an example.

It may not look it but thats pretty high up there 5 stories Id say. Hope you like it.

I couldn't have done it... walking at least, the height would have messed up my balance and I'd have fallen. I coulda scooted across on my butt tho. :lol:

Panic has balls of gold plated steel. His biceps are like tree trunks and his eyes are red fire and looking into them is like staring into a window that leads to hell.

That's not 5 stories, but it's still way too high for me. I was just there an hour ago.

Yeah I don't know how they do it. I can do plenty of stupid shit but heights mess with my head.

Nice work, sir.

ive been doing that shit before it was cool! haha, just kidding, but seriously, i love falstaff for the adrenaline rush. the stairs are so fucked! those beams are all kinds of fun to climb around on. i did a light painting experiment where i had all my friends with glowsticks walk across them in different directions while i shot from the stairs in almost pitch black. anyone down to go?
