  2. Ocean Blue skies and SAFE landings! ~Amanda~
  3. I wish that I got a cost-of-licing increase regularly! Ok, I made a typo Look @ the keyboard and you will see a C right next to a V. Sorry~ Sean, are you gg to the holiday party next week? I dont know if you remember me or not, but I have met ya @ AerOhio once or twice. Blue skies and SAFE landings! ~Amanda~
  4. I have never lived in any of the above, but I have serisouly never heard a bad thing said about San Diego. Aside from the fact that the cost-of-licing is a bit higher than some cities, but I am sure that your job would probably compensate for that. Wonderful moderate temperatures all year Large variety of things to do and see- Ocean, Mountains, Desert, Mexico. LA all within close reach Near really good dropzones If you really have a choice of all those cities, good for you!! What kind of job is it and do they have any openings Good luck!! Blue skies and SAFE landings! ~Amanda~
  5. Procrastination... isnt that what dz.com is for half the time? When I dont want to do what I'm supposed to be doing at work or when I'm supposed to be studying at home-- I often head here to read up on skydiving and more recently= post. I am trying the hardest I ever have not to be a procrastinator this month. I have a huge board exam for the future of my career and need to go good Set aside a whole month to study-- well at least it's crappy weather in Ohio and I dont have to worry about jumping to distract me! Yeah, but just coming out of college, I am an avid procrastinator, thats for sure!! Blue skies and SAFE landings! ~Amanda~
  6. hike Blue skies and SAFE landings! ~Amanda~
  7. I am obviously new to dz.com, but I had no clue what you all were talking about until I looked farther into these posts on this thread. That is pretty cool, but now its gonna make me want to look for secret msgs in all threads! And I want to know how to do it! Blue skies and SAFE landings! ~Amanda~
  8. Petronas! (sp) That's really cool. Does anyone know is it one time annually that people are allowed to jump off of that, kinda like bridge day? I think that you have to be invited. Is there anyone around that has done it before? Granted... this isn't BASE board. The rest of the video has some good footage too. That Land Rover sliding down the hill is just great and I can't believe that it didnt take out any cars at the bottom! Blue skies and SAFE landings! ~Amanda~

    Baby Names

    That quiz on babynames.com is the worst. I chose my personality to be ambitous and it named me Hadassah Dian! I then chose stylish and it names me Toril Oprah! Cmon now, there have got to be some better names that that this name generator could give me! Blue skies and SAFE landings! ~Amanda~
  10. Congrats Wrong Way! Hope everything goes well with the delivery & the you'll be there waitin to be a kick ass uncle! Keep in touch, Paige had mentioned a warm weather weekend trip amidst all this crap in Ohio. Blue skies and SAFE landings! ~Amanda~
  11. I wish I was gonna be there with my 2 hotties- Alana and Steph! I know the time you are gonna be there, Alana, is gg quick, but you better keep in touch with lots of emails and phone calls! Anyone meeting up with these 2 in London, take care of them for me- they are just too much fun to not get back in time for spring jumping. Missin ya bunches already, good luck girls! Blue skies and SAFE landings! ~Amanda~
  12. I have heard 2 things repeatedly that come to mind when dowing video: "So do you fall next to the the airplane to make the video?" "Does it hurt when you open your parachute, it looks like you are getting hung?" I guess the effect of a good videographer falling next to a skydiver must be pretty misleading or something! Blue skies and SAFE landings! ~Amanda~
  13. A friend of mine had that link on their AIM profile a few months ago & I was amazed at how calm and relaxed I became while watching it. I sent it to the people I was chatting with online and made my sister sit and watch it too. THere is a link to buy a screen saver on the website, I am tempted to get it- have some relaxation during those stressful moments at work each day! Blue skies and SAFE landings! ~Amanda~
  14. Kelly, I'll help ya on that on. Lets set up a time and place- hopefully a line will be forming for it! Let's add in a little charge too, like 1/2 off our jump ticket from the guy we jump with or something. WE can even out the guy-girl ratio thing with our kiss pass boogie! Blue skies and SAFE landings! ~Amanda~
  15. I am not an AFF and I have never had a kiss pass. Reading this thread is another good reason why I need to get a Bonehead. All that I have is a Z-1 and that is no good for kisses! Blue skies and SAFE landings! ~Amanda~
  16. Think of some good ideas- quick! I'm going in a few weeks and I'll see if any of them can be pulled off One big difference- in the sky what are the chances anyone is gonna see you? In the tunnel- everyone will see you- kinda like a snowglobe. It's always worth a try! Blue skies and SAFE landings! ~Amanda~
  17. I was at the party too. Funny how it turned out to be all skydivers left to party by the end of the night. From what I remember of the night, it was alot of fun and I had a wonderful hangover for Cosi all day today. GOt a little crazy, but that always makes it more memorable. Great to meet all of you dz.commers and SGC people that live around Columbus. We'll all have to find a reason to party more often! The Adrenaline Rush movie was pretty sweet too. I just want to skydive even more now after seeing it and I can;t do anything about it right now since Ohio weather sucks!! Blue skies and SAFE landings! ~Amanda~
  18. I think that it shows that you are making your decisions with a little more emotion and not just the normal physical sex drive of a male. Most females would admire your choice over going for any woman that crossed your path, so don't think you made a bad decision at all! Blue skies and SAFE landings! ~Amanda~
  19. Is this woman calling you a random woman or someone you know? I'm a chic, so I may think differently about sex, but I wouldn't say yes to some person that just calls me on the phone and asks me to sleep with them, regardless of if I knew them or not! (Maybe if it was a past hookup, but thats about it.) So don't feel weird about turning her down, you don't have to say yes to every woman that crosses your path!! Blue skies and SAFE landings! ~Amanda~
  20. I am glad that you are ok. Check out January's Parachutist, it has alot of articles and debate regarding small canopies and collision. It is a hot topic on skydiving that see to pop up quite often. I wouldn't be surprised to see alot more dzos posting set rules about who can jump smaller canopies and mandating a little bit more than they do now. Although the individual jumping the canopy is ultimately responsible, it sucks to have jumpers endangering others under a perfectly good canopy. Sometimes it is better to have set rules because people can be too stubborn to make a wise decision about canopy size for themselves. Blue skies and SAFE landings! ~Amanda~
  21. On a positive note, the article puts skydiving into a very good perspective. Hopefully your local DZ will get some potetnial jumpers from the write-up as well! Congrats on your "15 minutes of fame." Did she get a pic in there too? Blue skies and SAFE landings! ~Amanda~
  22. Is there something that causes the cloud to make that shape around the moutain or is it just coincidence? Really an awesome pic Blue skies and SAFE landings! ~Amanda~
  23. As a matter of fact, I actually posted on the Ohio weather thread before I did intro's and greets. Thanks alot though! I may be joining the SGC crew tomorrow if I can get out of the plans for skiing that I already have! Blue skies and SAFE landings! ~Amanda~
  24. Hey all, I have been around dz.com alot, but I have never taken the initiative to actullay post- just read! Now that I don't get to jump on the weekends much- because of Ohio weather, why not start participating in the talk done while wishing we are all jumping! I feel like I know half of you just from reading advice and info that I have searched on in the past, now it is time to say hello and introduce myself! Blue skies and SAFE landings! ~Amanda~
  25. I have never been out to SGC, but after meeting some of you and knowing that you all jump alot in the winter, I am gong to have to drive down there! Supposed to go skiing tomorrow, but maybe I'll be at Greene County instead. Afterall, it really sucks being jump deprived over the long Ohio winter :) Blue skies and SAFE landings! ~Amanda~
