Doing Terrifying Things

I've been writing this post in my head all day, and now the time comes, I still don't know how to start! So I might as well just get to it. I have a story, and a picture to go with it (multiple pictures, actually, but just one for now), and a request: before you read the cut, take a look at this picture from today.. Trust me, it's more interesting this way. :)

So, uh, what do ya'll think? Did I do good?
