venwood 0 #1 August 6, 2001 I was going skydiving again after 6 months of walking only on land. Finally I had money to do it again. After leaving my Smoke Crack Anynonmous group I had a cup of coffee.Thinking of the big dive the next day, I set the alarm and kissed my dog and cat goodnight. I was so nervous about my jump that I awoke early from a bad dream. I sprang up in the bed screaming, " Pull, Pull, god damn it Scottie PULL!!!!!" As I shake out the cobwebs I swear I hear "I am giving all she's got captian" in some weird Scottish accent. Eyes begin to focus and I see a mound moving on the corner of the bed. I think, "Oh great not again" and yup true enough again... the dog is fucking the cat again!!!What's with all the verbose stories?I love hearing everyone stories, learning from others of more wisdom than myself, and the experiences of newbies....but please keep it under a thousand words and to just the facts; i really don't care if your dog is shagging your cat.

wildblue 7 #4 August 6, 2001 I like the long, very well written stories. If you don't, then don't read them... not that big of a deal. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BenW 0 #5 August 6, 2001 Long rambling posts can, in some instances, be fun to read. BUT PLEASE include grammar! Paragraphs and punctuation make reading so much more simple....ps. Wildblue, you have a nice foot!B. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

phatcat 0 #8 August 7, 2001 Oh Christ, here we go again. I SOOO don’t want to post on this, but obviously I have anyways. This isn’t the first time it’s been brought up, about the “stories”. Some people like ‘em, some people don’t, whatever. As a newbie, I personally like reading them. But that’s not my point. If you don’t like them, then fine, but what the hell makes anybody think that they have the right to bash them? I would hate to think that there are people out there who are afraid to share their experiences with everyone else just because a few idiots said they didn’t like it. If everything goes as planned, I’ll finally be jumping again in a few weeks and I’ll probably want to post here about it. Should I keep it short because certain people don’t want to read it all? If so, than TOUGH SHIT!! I’m going to jump again soon, and when I do, I’ll take much pride in in it. I’ll write about it, because I want to. If you don’t like it DON’T READ IT! If you do read it anyways and don’t like it, then don’t post about it because I don’t give a rat’s white hairy shit stained ass!!Josh"One can never consent to creep when one feels an impulse to soar" - Helen Keller Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Duck 0 #9 August 7, 2001 Gotta go with ObeseFeline's opinion. The detailed stories of the jumps helps me get back into the swing of things. So for all those out there that risk ridicule by posting their experiences, thanks. Keep it coming and I hope to keep learning. Quack Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FallinWoman 1 #10 August 7, 2001 I have found the perfect solution to the question of whether or not to read those posts. Sometimes I am not in the mood, so as soon as I see that it is a long story, I skip it.Then later, when I have time and am in the right frame of mind, I truly enjoy living vicariously through these wonderful writers. (I even enjoy stories by people less gifted than Michele!)Keep them coming. I love knowing that others have fears and doubts like I do. I am always impressed with the skill you guys show in putting into words the beauty of our sport.Blue skies,Anne Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BenW 0 #11 August 7, 2001 Hey People!Don't sh!t on me here, all I was asking for was grammar, punctuation and paragraphs... The stories are fun, if you can get through them! Help me out here - I NEED grammar, cannot compute, syntax error, stack overload.....Aarrgghhh!!!!!!Tron. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Alienangel 0 #13 August 7, 2001 Here we go again.I can't help but think that if you stick your creative writing up on a website you are asking for it to be critiqued. Whatever. As a famous wannabe writer once said themselves, if you can't take the heat, get the hell out the kitchen!Quote(I even enjoy stories by people less gifted than Michele!)Ok..I won't even go there...AA(just because no-one understands you doesn't make you an artist) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
