I like to wave.

In the car, on long road trips I really enjoy waving to kids in the back seat, especially if they wave back.

When I was a kid I used to wave at planes when they passed overhead.

To this day, I wave at graveyards, as I ride past. I suspect ghosts don't exist, but if they do, I think they'd like to be acknowledged with a friendly gesture every now and then.

If I'm sitting on the front porch, reading or whatever, I wave to the odd passing car, neighbor or not.

If I think someone's watching on the webcam, I wave a quick hello.

As a side note -
I want a picture to go with this sound.
I've been looking for about a half hour, and haven't turned up anything yet.

I ran across this surfing LJ...

I like to wave too :) It's a fun little game w/ tourist trolleys and ducks here in Boston to see how many people will wave back..

I kinda like the idea of waving to a graveyard. Seems like a damn cool thing to do. Wurd.

My family and I used to play "The Wave Game" on road trips. Since there are no real freeways in Alaska, and you're nearly always on a 2-lane road, this game works really well. We'd take turns waving madly at oncoming vehicles, and if someone in the oncoming vehicle waved back, you got a point.

Findings? Truckers nearly always wave back. Same with most vehicles in the winters (more likely to be locals, and we're a pretty friendly lot). Tourists depended on which direction they were travelling in. If they were heading into Alaska, they had that dazed, deer-in-the-headlights, I-can't-believe-I-just-drove-several-thousand-miles-over-roads-that-strongly-resemble-roller-coasters-in-hell expression, and wouldn't even notice our frantic waving. If they were leaving, they were cheerful and alert again.

To make a long story short (too late!), I like to wave, too! =)

Hey yeah!

One of my fave quotes comes from there...

"You should wear with pride the scars on your skin, then remember the adventures and the places you have been."
