    It is hard to fight the urge to do something on the spur of the moment sometimes, like fly somewhere else in the world.

    I have done it before. It worked

    But I know being impulsive can screw you over too, of course.

    Are you impulsive? Does it usually work out for the best anyways? When has an urge acted on to quickly screwed you over?

    I've always been very impulsive...I've had an insane life, and learned a hell of a lot in a short period of time.

    I have been fucked over a few times...but all in all I like it this way

    sometimes i act impulsively, sometimes not. i'm probably about average as far as acting impulsively.

    it's hard to be too impulsive at this point in my life, as i have a job to go to. when i was in high school and college i was very impulsive. and it generally worked out.

    I suppose that I have an impulsive side to me but I spend so much time and effort repressing it that I can't really furnish a proper response to your whole post.

    I suppose turning a short food trip into a road trip works out-- good reason to take along my camera- even running a short errand. I've taken off directionally to chase a thunderstorm in hopes of capturing lightning in a photo only to have the storm dissipate and me ending up an hour out of my way and not sure exactly where I was.

    An impulsive streak can provide an escape from a mundane rut though. I wish I had the means and opportunity to buy a plane ticket on a whim and explore a new time zone for a few days.

    I wish I was more impulsive... I would probably have more fun... I can't help but just look at things realistically and analyze them.

    Some things I'm impulsive for, some things I'm not.
    Generally, I'd say I'm not.

    EDIT: I mean in actions I'm not. Speech I am.
    But not all the time.
    Its confusing

    Hey guys! Look what I bought on a wild impulse! New boots!

    They're like my old boots, but with a wacky green stripe up the side!
