I should have something that would be flying just for fun...

Ulf asked me yesterday a very simple question… Have I thought to just fly for fun during break week and not to think about what I should do? That question kind of took me off the guard. I couldn’t think a single thing that would be just flying for fun and not include some duty. Have I really made everything duty…

What in past I have considered flying for fun or even close? Low sec hauling once upon a time was really fun, the thrill it provided when I did out run pirates in MH and escaped under their noses. Of course it included a duty to keep Egbi stocked, but it was really fun. Why it isn’t low sec so fun anymore? I guess I lack the challenge and thrill in it. My current hauling area is just pretty boring and pirates don’t have gate camps that area or try to catch haulers. It’s good for the area… but boring.

Ratting in GW was kind of fun in its own way, it was a certain zen state of mind and it was time just for me even if it provided isk and sec status. But since we have lost the tower in GW there hasn’t been similar opportunity to go there for a week and just hang out there. Doing agent work just doesn’t give similar state of mind. I need to talk to agent in every turn and the work can contain going into very heave pirate bases, I need to change ammo type every now and then… it just doesn’t provide same Zen feeling.

Combat then… it’s a complex issue. Sometimes I really enjoy it, sometimes just not. And under everything I feel I should be developing myself as FC.

Maybe I should try to do something just for fun… but what that would be. Sonja goes to Curse for ratting; maybe I should check the concept and try it or invent something. I think Ulf is right; I should have something that would be flying just for fun.
