Alright. Now I'm kinda bored.

Wanna know what sounds like fun? Bungee jumping. Or sky diving. I wonder if I can figure out the latter with a broom and a parachute. But the question is... can I get high enough? Hmmmm. To the drawing board.

	You could always try free falling with only your broom, see how close you can get before pulling up? Make sure you have a ground softening charm though. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	Eh. But its not the same. I want the entire feeling of falling from the air only to be snapped back by a flimsy piece of cloth. That's the challenge. That's the adrenaline pumper, right there. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	So you want that feeling that you're going to soil your knickers. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_ktbell 2015-06-24 02:52 am UTC (link)
	I guess that's one way to put it, yeah. Except... I don't soil my knickers and it's still wicked awesome! (Reply to this) (Parent)

	I reckon it could be done. Where are you getting a parachute though? (Reply to this) (Thread)

	_ktbell 2015-06-23 08:49 pm UTC (link)
	I'm sure I can find a parachute. Or I can figure out how to make one. I mean... how hard can it really be? (Reply to this) (Parent)

	Please elaborate on what I am assuming are muggle past times someone's neglected to tell me about. Is sky diving as literal as it sounds? (Reply to this) (Thread)

Bungee jumping: an activity that involves jumping from a tall structure while connected to a large elastic cord. The tall structure is usually a fixed object, such as a building or bridge. (I think a cliff or something could work here too, just saying)

Sky diving: The sport of jumping out of a plane (which we don't have. Muggle thing that gets you up way higher than I think I've seen a broom go) and into a free fall, usually characterized by air acrobatics before safely releasing a parachute to stop said free fall and bring us slowly to the ground.

So in other words: the greatest past times ever.

	Both of those sound a bit more difficult than the average adventure without the proper materials here. That being said, I am way on board with more cliff diving if that happens. (Reply to this) (Thread)

	_ktbell 2015-06-23 09:18 pm UTC (link)
	But that's what makes it fun, Ali! Though cliff diving is always a go. We should arrange another trip! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	aliciarspinnet 2015-06-23 09:56 pm UTC (link)
	Until you parachute doesn't work because you crafted it yourself? I'm all for fun, but I'd rather not be splattered across the ground. Maybe it could be tested over water first? Yes! We should gather up the people who went before and figure out a time to go, and see if anyone else wants to come too. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_ktbell 2015-06-24 02:54 am UTC (link)
	I'll figure out a failsafe. No problem. Water will splatter you just the same as the ground will, apparently. Something about physics. Blah blah blah. Cliff diving extravaganza it is! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	You know coming from me it's a term of endearment. [Katie] Somewhat. I feel like Percy might be mad at me forever. Other than that, I'm okay. How are you? Aside from crazy. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_ktbell 2015-06-24 04:50 pm UTC (link)
	Of the very highest caliber. [Oliver] No one can be mad forever, Ollie. Especially not in a place where forever is an actual reality. If he's really you friend.... he'd want to see you happy. That's all that matters. I'm alright. Trying to keep busy, but nothing too exciting, really. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I love you even when you drive me up a wall. [Katie] Sometimes friendships end. What if I have to choose? I don't know, pushing blokes into lakes sounds pretty exciting. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

Aw, Ollie. You always know just what to say. And I love you even when you're being a stick in the mud.

[Oliver]
Then you choose what's right for you, sweets. You gotta make yourself happy first. Life isn't always about pleasing everyone, right? Even if it's someone you love.

Valid point. So long as he plays along. Mikey is a complex individual. Complex as in too studious. It's alright to try and break him of that, right? He needs some sun on that ~~flawless~~ pasty skin.

	Oi, just because we have different priorities doesn't mean I'm a stick in the mud. [Katie] I wouldn't be happy without my best friend. I wouldn't be happy without George. It'd be nice to have it all. Should be alright. He seems willing to, anyhow. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	_ktbell 2015-06-25 05:05 pm UTC (link)
	Ollie, you took that as an insult. It was a term of endearment, really. I mean... I need people like you in my life or I'd have broken my face by now. [Oliver] Yeah, you're completely right. Do you want me to punch Percy for you or something? I can do it in a really nice way. I guess so. Bless him, Oliver, for he puts up with a lot of my shit. (Reply to this) (Parent)
