Pixie dust from a fairy, or speed from a transvestite

Greetings from Puerto Rico!
Quite literally took the plunge today, and by that I mean I decided to do something stupid that I thought I'd never do. I jumped off a waterfall.
Wasn't anything major and probably wasn't all that impressive but for me it was perhaps one of the most terrifying experiences I've ever done. It took a lot of psychological preparation, and by that I mean standing there gauging whether I could clear the alloted distance and debating if it was worth it. Piece of advice, if the natives are shouting and waving their arms frantically it probably means you're doing something wrong.
In the end I just said a quick prayer and jumped.
It. Was. AWESOME!
Granted I still nearly had a heart attack on the way down and spent the next few hours recovering from what we speculate was either shock or mild concussion but it was still easily one of the most exhiliarating experiences I've ever done.
Regrettably my family lost track of me before I jumped so I don't have any pictures of this particular event, just a story in which I will forever be know as, as my dad put it, "That idiot who jumped too close to the rocks."

FA+

But, I'm glad you survived. Hope you recover from your trauma by having therapy.
You only live once, as it were.
