    I don't deliberately do crazy things, but in hindsight some crazy things have happened to me (although I didn't really recognise them as such, but some of my friends have), partly because of my generally apathetic/indifferent attitude towards life/other people in it (I don't think I have to be cautious even when I should) and also due to random occurrences, I guess.

    My family was held "gun point" by a heroin addict (after my ex-Soviet military dad got him in chokehold, it turned out to be a replica gun.) ..It was because we were remodeling our house and were making too much noise, guy was coming down hard.

    When I was around five there were loads of car bombs being set of where I lived (Russian mafia dealing with.. well, their own I guess.) My windows got almost blown off. It was the early days of Estonian re-independence from Soviet Union, things weren't going very smoothly.

    I narrowly escaped being stabbed.

    A guy who got stabbed (ex-con whose family lived near my grandparents) bled all over our rug while we were calling ambulance.

    Saw a girl break her neck and seize, pulled my friends away to make room for emergency trained security people to come help.. only to watch them pull her into a sitting position from the straps of her bag. I doubt she ever walked after this. :/


    Haha, and I'm not even from a place with a high crime rate or anything.. I just always happen to be present when something statistically odd is happening. It's almost a talent.

    Been held at gun point before (worked out fine obviously), been bitten by tigers on a few occasions (again nothing severe), worked with some of my favourite musicians... Can't think of any others right now but I'm sure they'll come to me...

    Oh yeah I accidentally stayed in a sex hotel with my mate once, we were severely dehydrated after cycling 60 miles in severe heat and humidity and just wanted somewhere to stay... We stopped at the first place we could see and couldn't understand why everyone was laughing due to the language barrier until we got into our room and it was themed around a space ship and there was a massive mirror above the bed... At about two in the morning someone tried to break in so we had to barricade the door with our bikes and camera gear. We didn't get much sleep understandably and left at sun rise lol

    It's fine, like I said - I didn't even realise it might be considered odd and none of those things really scared me at the time or later. Except for bombings, I remember being anxious about them, because cars were parked right outside the houses and I lived on the ground floor.. and to a five year old they seemed random.

    Other than that, I probably should have been an EMT or something, because I feel energised by these situations and can retain calmness.. unlike my boyfriend, haha.

    That reminds me of my friends and their experiences in Amsterdam (it's always Amsterdam.. tell me the sex hotel thing happened in Amsterdam..)

    I stole a purse from the mall once! Also, walking back to our car after a Kelly Clarkson concert in the fair grounds of our little town, two rival gangs shot at each other right in front of us.
