DougH 270 #1 July 27, 2007 I had a strange conversation with a friend I knew back in HS tonight. She had looked me up on facebook (a myspace variant), and just minutes before she im'd me I accepted her as a friend so she could view my profile. She was asking about what is new in life so I mentioned my move from the state we grew up in. I started to type that I started skydiving last year. Literally at the same time she types out the same thing... she started skydiving after HS... and has 600+ jumps. My initial reaction was AWESOME!!! But as I asked more questions things didn't add up. I asked her where she jumped... "Cali". Oh awesome which ones? "Um I don't really remember it has been over a year since I jumped there" At only 300 jumps, and never having been jumping in Cali, I apparently know more about the drop zones there then the girl with 600 jumps. So I asked her what license she had... and she came up with D. Now we are back on track. And when I asked her what type of jumping she did mostly, she replied "freefall"??? But she has "40 water jumps". It seems like my friend is completely lying to me. I wouldn't expect any of these responses from some one who managed to get 600 jumps in the sport. I don't consider that a small task considering how many people can't even stick around for 100 jumps. It is almost like she looked and my profile, saw that I skydives, and ran with it. I just don't get why she would do that? What is the angle? Just bizarre!"The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

aprilcat 0 #3 July 27, 2007 It doesn't seem strange to me. If you give enough 'leads' online someone will reel you in. I don't do Myspace (run by Satan (c.2007 Aprilcat) or Myface or any of those, but aren't there 'tell you later' or 'ask me later' checkmarks on these sites?~~April Camelot II, the Electric Boogaloo!

davadikian 1 #6 July 27, 2007 She has probably been stalking you for a while and is reading this right now... Sleep well Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DougH 270 #7 July 27, 2007 I doubt it. We don't even live in the same state... and we were close friends in the past. Who knows, maybe she is a skydiver, but some how she managed to get 600 jumps without even knowing the name of her dropzone! I guess I could call her on it and ask to see her log book.

BillyVance 35 #10 July 27, 2007 Tell her you know that if she had 600 jumps she would know what skydiving is all about and not feed you all the bullshit and tell her to go fuck herself.

DougH 270 #11 July 27, 2007 I am more subtle... I just asked a bunch of questions that I knew she couldn't anwser... and let her trip all over herself while trying to come up with an anwser. The only thing that made me go hmmmmm was when she got the D license question right. I think it will be hilarious if I find out down the road that she does skydive, but just doesn't have a fucking clue!"The restraining order says you're only allowed to touch me in freefall" =P Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
