Stacy 0 #26 October 6, 2002 45:5:0 flew 45 minutes in the tunnel friday night. for those considering it, if you fly on your back in tehre, make sure your zipper will stay up on your suit. apparently mine doesn't and everyone got a brief show. ha! some pretty cool flying though! had waaaaay too much wine and beer with the tunnel folk that night (galen and jraf were there. headed out to ZHills on sat, played in the sky and at the bar there. no firsts, but unfortunately there was a lingerie jump going on as i left that i'd rather nto have seen. Oy! one opening that to eyes on the ground looked like a streamer. big ball of fabric that didn't particularly seem like it was going to open. with hands on the handles it opened up. yikes.

AggieDave 6 #28 October 6, 2002 1-D license waiting to be faxed off:7:1 Got all of my stuff signed off last week, haven't had the chance to fax it off yet, will do this week. Only got 7 jumps this weekend, did some work on getting headdown, slowly getting it. My average speed right now is right around 200 mph...damn. Did a "street clothes" FF jump (shorts & t-shirt), which was fun, our average speed flying head up was something like 171mph. It was a fun dive, something different. --"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skygal3 0 #33 October 6, 2002 1::3 because the stupid selfish prez was in the area so our otter was groundedfucker 3 beers, working on another as we speak 1 lump on my forehead for beating it against my steering wheel this afternoon...a really fine looking man tried to help me in borders books today and I was a complete idiot...I mean, he was very nice looking, not the kind you normally see in a bookstore ()...I was looking for a book on skydiving that they supposedly had in stock but couldn't find it. he said "we'll take every book down and put it back up if we need to...what time do they close?" and I said "oh, it's not a big deal.." and thanked him for all of his help. And I started to walk away...he looked at me and said "Not a problem, it was my pleasure..." and as I looked away and started to turn, he said "you're very attractive"...and I said a shy "thank you" as I walked off...what the hell! is wrong with me!!! I swear, I have absolutely no self confidence anymore. I can't believe I let skyboy take that from me... oh well, I guess I am just not ready to date anyoneBeer is good Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #34 October 6, 2002 Well, its nice to know that I'm not the only person who sometimes has trouble building up the courage to make that next step when talking to someone. Maybe you should go back tomorrow evening to buy a book, you might need help finding it, you know... --"When I die, may I be surrounded by scattered chrome and burning gasoline."

Go back and get him. Goooooo back and get him. Just have coffee with him or something! You rebuild your confidence by EXPLOITING THE ATTENTIONS OF ATTRACTIVE MEN WHO THINK YOU'RE HOT.

skygal3 0 #38 October 7, 2002 what's funny is that I did go back, but he was just a shopper, and I asked someone if they knew who he was, but they didn't...I can't believe I just walked away...he offered to sort through ever book in the misc. sports section to help me!!! You know how you see a good looking person, do you ever look at them and feel like "oh god, I can't let them see how unattractive I am..." thats exactly how I felt. I mean, my hair was in pigtails, I had a light dusting of makeup on, but between this mornings shower and the bookstore I napped in it, so I was not at my finest...who thinks of primping on a sunday book run???

AndyMan 7 #44 October 7, 2002 !!:3:2 WAY too many numbers in the first column. It's been a good week. 3 jumps. Saturday was very disapointing. The local DZ was hosting the mid-west skydiving league, and was only flying an otter. Things quickly got backed up, my first jump was 45 minutes after manifesting, my second jump was 90 minutes after manifesting. With three hours of sunset left, all loads were full... Sunday saw crappy weather, but we did get one load off at 8:00am. First were for 1) first flamingo jump. See related thread. 2) completed and faxed 'd' licence application. _Am__ You put the fun in "funnel" - craichead. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jessica 0 #46 October 7, 2002 Quote you must think awfully highly of your self to assume that you'd be the only amber that Anne and I know..... WHOA THERE. I think it's natural for Amber to assume you were talking about her -- I certainly did. We're in the forum microcosm here, not the Marc-and-Anne one. We don't know your friends.
