I was going to write a long post about how nice it is to walk to school in the morning. It's a 45 minute walk, and I always go to school while most regular people drive, or ride the bus or tram to their work, so the streets are all mine. This means I can walk as fast as I want and not have to worry about bumping into strangers or ending up behind moziers (people who like to walk really slowly, called "tuslere" in Norwegian). But, since I've lost the recharger for my creative player, I'm instead going to focus on the fact that I've stopped having the patience I had when I was little.
When I was young, I would be prone to walk all by myself, exploring woods and streets and apartment buildings for hours on end. Every part of the world was an exciting new adventure and I needed no company or music to keep me from being bored. I tried to duplicate this feeling my taking a different route to school when I used up the last precious minutes of batteries left on my player, but instead of being an adventure, I found it to be a tiresome and time consuming way of reaching my school. I started trying to walk faster just to get there earlier and not having to spend more time in my own company than strictly necessary. And it's weird because normally I like spending time with me. But normally I also have something to occupy part of my brain, like music.
So my question to you guys is: Do you feel that as you grew up you lost the ability to enjoy just walking by yourself? Do you need constant entertaining to keep yourself occupied enough to enjoy the simple joy of walking (or studying)? And if so, why do you think that is? I'm seriously curious...

But more importantly: Did you throw us out last night so that you could write in your lj? I'm deeply wounded, I am. Shame on you.

I still like to walk
Now I find it more satisfyingly to walk with company. Just a person who can hold their end of the conversation. I still tend to walk alone, just less often. I think I like to talk more than I like to walk now.

Re: I still like to walk
And I still love urban exploring. Haven't done it in a while, but it is so awesome.

Og eg trur grunnen til det er at eg har ein litt annan type liv inni hovudet mitt enn mange andre har. Om det er ein bra ting kjem vel an på korleis ein ser på det.

Livet inni hodet mitt er stort og bråkete, men jeg vet ikke om jeg synes det er grunn nok til at jeg har lyst til å høre på det uten en musikkbuffer.
Problemet er vel egentlig at for å få til ordentlig tenking (eller lesing og studering) så trenger jeg å la en liten del av hodet mitt være opptatt av et eller annet, som musikk. Da fokuserer jeg faktisk mye bedre. Den delen av hodet mitt er den som begynner å planlegge hva jeg skal ha til middag, eller vurdere hvilken farge himmelen egentlig burde ha hatt hvis jeg fikk bestemme hvis jeg ikke holder den opptatt med noe.
