    Default Do a new thing every week...

    The spice girls told me too many times to ignore it. I need to spice up my life apparantly. So I want to try a new thing every week for the first few months. As it's one of those typical help yourself tips. But I figured it could be fun and all. Though probably going to wait for it untill after the exams.

    However I need suggestions. And they can be original and a little crazy, just not too difficult, expensive or too illegal.

    Now I was thinking to make it more exciting and after I've got enough useable suggestions, let you guys pick them out. Of course afterwards I'll let you guys know how it went.

    So fire it up!

    Current possibilities:
    Ventriloquism in nightclub - Jujubee; silly but okay.
    Go out in drag - Peasent Phill
    Build sandcastle on the town square - Psychonaut
    Doing Remi Gaillard like stuff - Hooahguy
    Eating only orange food for a week -stratigos vasilios
    Use your feet to eat - ibid.
    Reveal an occultus faction -ibid.
    pretend to be a bouncer - ibid.
    Elevator fun (perhaps comb with Remi Gaillard) -ibid.
    planking (how boring it may be) - Drunk Clown
    Change religion... I'll take that as going to mosque like thing or something. Perhaps I can convince an Imam that I want to become a Muslim. - Fisherking
    Public gymnastics - TS
    tell a random person something good that happened to you lately - TS
    go hitchhiking - TS
    eat insects - TS
    Eat indian - Fisherking
    Cook a new meal - Fisherking

    Have someone set your calander alarm (on your phone) to go off at random times throughout the next few weeks. Preferably in the 3-6am region.

    Date a guy - err... no. One shouldn't mess with people's feelings.
    Swim across the English channel - That's not something I could do like that. But it might be something worth doing in the further future. Not kidding.
    Having set my alarm at random - That's not really trying something new is it. Nor is it doing something. And if you mean not sleeping a lot than it's far from doing someting new.
    Pick a fight - Has happened already. But I don't want to pick a fight with someone as I don't want to be thrown out of the gymn either, plus it's kinda too illegal. Don't want to do stuff to make other hurt or myself too much.

    Ventriloquism in night clubs - Verry silly but can be done I'll ad it to the possibilities list.

    Is it something you want to invest some time in or is this more a one night thing every week?

    If the latter, go out dressed in drag and go nuts. A friend of mine did this once (had some quasi professional help) and says he had a blast doing stuff he would otherwise get in trouble with.

    Bring your own sand to the town square and build a sandcastle.

    Get an old iPod, walk down a busy street, stop, yell: "I HATE THIS SONG!", throw the iPod at the pavement and keep on walking.

    I can't put that much time into it as I would try something new every week.

    Go out in drag you say? Okay I guess we could try that... Lets hope I don't like too much lol.


    I'm not sure what you are suggesting...

    Edit:
    @ psycho:
    If I can find an old Ipod, I could try it out. But it's more just doing a joke than really doing something.

    On the sandcastle. I guess it could be an idea, if I can find a way to pull it of. I'll look into it.

    - Eat nothing but orange coloured food for 2 weeks.

    - Handstand walk everywhere.

    - Use your feet to eat (i.e. holding cutlery).

    - Ask people for spare change, when someone agrees to donate you a little, decline and run off yelling 'woop woop woop!' (Neg style).

    - Reveal an Occultus faction.

    - Wear black and pretend to me a bouncer in a store, don't let people in if thier names not on the list (clipboard optional). Could be a supermarket or a clothing store.

    - Wait in elevators for people to come in, and either: fart, sneeze loudly or act claustrophobic and scream to startle them.

    Meh, that's all I could think of for now. If you really want something to do, sit my exams!

    That's the planking 'phemomenon'. A guy died over here doing that, tried to do it on a five story building, fell off and died.

    -hmmm perhaps, but only for one week. I need to see if I can find enough orange things to eat. I need to get enough proteïns every week as well for my diet.

    -Hmmm I'm not that good at handstands. I can stand on my head for a very long time though...

    -That's gonna be a mess but why not.

    -hmmm not really convinced

    -Okay.

    -Could be funny. I could do it at bouncerless bar or something. I'm not that big so I might not be that convincing, but I could take a friend with me. I've got a few insanely huge friends.

    -I could do it or combine it with the Remi Gaillard thingy.

    Try a new religion for a week. Keep changing them up though.

    Either that or take up pole sitting.

    Planking...sounds boring... but well it's very doable...so I guess I'll try it.

    Changing religion? Well I could try out going to a mosque or something.

    Truly, I think I would start a bit smaller than most of the suggestions made so far and try cooking a new dish or mixing a drink you have never had.

    Maybe go to an Indian or Greek Restaurant or try your self with a different look in clothing or hair cut.

    It is much safer than free rock climbing or base jumping. It won’t upset parents and friends like changing religions and won’t disrupt your life quite so much or cost so much as some of the rest.

    Besides, you are going to Berlin soon and that is something new for that week.

    Oh, have you ever tried joining an army for just a week?

    @Fisherking I'm not going to get into all too crazy stuff. Obviously I'm not going to become a devout Muslim or Buddhist priest, nor am I going to buy a new car, join an army or something. Added trying Indian foot and cooking a new meal.

    @ the stranger, those are some good suggestions.
    I'll add a few of those.

    @Drunk Clown, It's not something that exciting indeed. But it's not dangerous, not expensive or difficult. I'm gonna keep it in my possibility list.

    truly you should add talking to a prostitute. preferably when on a beach while watching the sun rise.

    or you could just do one and not the other
