Can you really be "adventurous" just sometimes? I think it's a personality trait that is sort of built in. You can be involved in an adventure sometimes, but if you are adventurous, you are a person who enjoys adventure. A few dull periods in between adventures doesn't make less adventurous.

I used to explorer caves with a hard hat and flashlight. That is an adventure, but I don't do it any more. Does that make me less adventurous than I used to be?
