Lolie 0 #1 October 14, 2002 Hi everyone! Gosh, after lurking around this board for so long, I feel kind of timid posting (like you guys are *famous* or something! ). Anyway, like I posted on the Gear and Rigging section, I'm fresh off AFP and newly licensed (I don't even have my number yet...). I'm 18 years old; I did my first jump in June and couldn't get enough of it. Skydiving is definitely my new passion, and everyone I know is sick of hearing me talk about it. Anyway, I just thought I'd make my presence known around here. You'll be seeing more of me, no doubt! -Miranda you shall above all things be glad and young / For if you're young,whatever life you wear it will become you;and if you are glad / whatever's living will yourself become.

Rdutch 0 #5 October 14, 2002 Welcome to the wonderful world of Skydiving, Bosses that arent smart enough to see us on Dropzone.com all day, and a future of being poor due to spending all our money on jumps. Oh yeah theres the Beer you'll buy the Beer you'll drink and the total inability to hold a relationship with someone that doesn't jump. If that doesn't scare you away glad to have you as a jumper and Poster. Ray Ray Small and fast what every girl dreams of! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lolie 0 #7 October 14, 2002 Wow; it's crazy how many people are on here and how quickly you respond! I like it. About the pictures, I'm really not very technologically advanced, so I'll try to figure out how to post one under my name, but no guarantees. Until then, you'll have to follow the link to my logbook (in my profile). Thanks for such a warm welcome! -Miranda you shall above all things be glad and young / For if you're young,whatever life you wear it will become you;and if you are glad / whatever's living will yourself become.

Lolie 0 #19 October 14, 2002 Do you ever find yourself in a really quiet office (or in my case, computer lab), laughing really loudly, while everyone else gives you annoyed/questioning looks? Everyone around me is trying to look at my screen to figure out what is so damn funny. -Miranda you shall above all things be glad and young / For if you're young,whatever life you wear it will become you;and if you are glad / whatever's living will yourself become.

diverdriver 5 #25 October 14, 2002 Quote Do you ever find yourself in a really quiet office (or in my case, computer lab), laughing really loudly, while everyone else gives you annoyed/questioning looks? Everyone around me is trying to look at my screen to figure out what is so damn funny. Lolie, welcome. And I see you've been introduced to Team Funnel jumping with Juggler at SDC. Just watch out for his "Flaming Circle of Death" and if you don't know what that is just hang around a bonfire or two after jumping. It's quite impressive. You can find the profiles of many Team Funnel people at http://www.teamfunnel.com/id2.htm. I'm "DiverDriver #50". Were you at Mariachi's with Greg Madsen?
