    High: Just quit my night job that I hated. High: I'm leaving in 5 days.
  6. Yesterday in the NE it was surprisingly nice. I saw that through my office window. Today sucked. All last week I would wake up to the most beautiful blue puffy Q skies and by 9 or 10 it would gray over and rain. Yuck. June? More like April.
  7. :: At this rate I'm thinkin' I may never get to jump again. The only sunny days are when I am working. Except for that one perfect day I was at the dz and Dex made the winds gust.
  8. Oh my good God you just described me to a T! Personally, I feel a doubt and I run and I try to push away. I do things that I have no reasoning for, probably so if I break my own heart it will at least be better than someone else breaking it for me. I try to avoid putting pressure at all on anyone else and in the meantime it all builds up on me and I end up exploding...I know what I am afraid of. I was in a serious relationship once, it was filled with a lot of hurt and I did not recognize myself. Coming out of that, finding a big chunk of who I am, I am afraid of losing that and turning back into the person I was. I am also afraid of being hurt again, and afraid that anyone I am involved with will see me as the things my ex used to say to me. Sigh. Cats are so much easier. I think I am also afraid that I do not want something so I end up screwing things up to prove that I do. Just did that one
  9. don't forget pork soda.. Primus always reminded me of Frank Zappa..who doesn't love the golden shower song??
  10. McD's fries dipped in a shake. Yummy.
  11. Um, well, I am still there. I started AFF Labor Day, and the only days I had off from work there after were either rainy or windy. Same for this spring so far. I thought last Sunday was going to be perfect; no winds at all, crystal clear blue skies and upper 70's..didn't manifest until 1 or so, and by the time I was able to jump, students were put on a hold due to afternoon wind gusts. Then I had leave to go to work. Lesson learned--manifest early!!! My instructor told me to get there early on Sunday, I told him I go to church, he told me to get on the plane and lead everyone in a prayer--the other jumpers and God would appreciate that.
  12. You did ask her to change your card number, right?
  13. I [heart] Sebazz THIS!!! much because he is a kickass person, an awesome skydiver and a heck of a good buddy.
  14. Wow, BB. Those are beautiful shots! I absolutely *love* the suit, and the rig to match!
  15. Well I guess you can call me a turbine slut as well. The thing that gets me is that the force of the wind in the door in the otter pushes me back so hard that I cannot hold on; it's more of a jesture to hold the door, prop, sec, primary, out, in, out...it's more like "oh crap, get through this cuz I am being blown back and can no longer hold onto the door frame...prop yup, ok guys give me the clear...outinout---ARCH ARCH ARCH!"
  16. A hot considerate guy, a can of whipped cream and a few hours to spare.. Baileys works just as well.
  17. I think you're right..I saw the cessnas sitting there and all I could think is how extremely frightening they looked! But that just makes me want to try them even more... I do love our otter though. It is such a great plane.
  18. Yup. Mom rarely smoked around me but my father did. Windows up--long car rides, dinner, whatever. Then when I was 16 and came home from the hospital after my first asthma attack he told me I was crazy to believe the Dr. when he said second hand smoke as a child did it to me. "It'll never hurt you" I think he said.. Well, it did. Even to this day I have exercise induced asthma. Which sucks major balls because I love to run. I love to run, I just can't breathe!
  19. certainly. But think back on your newbie nerves..maybe experiencing a new (and tiny) aircraft on top of a students objective in whichever category would be too much at once? I dunno..I had already done a tandem out of the otter (which was my first time in the plane, btw) prior to my first AFF jump so I was comfy with my surroundings. Aw heck, maybe I just need to make an observer ride in the cessna before I decide to try it then no big deal, right? But that would mean I would have to land for once in the plane! NO!!!
  20. Didn't see it but if you like to read and want to experience an interesting perspective try reading the biographies of both Hitler and Churchill at the same time. (not sure of the authors off the top of my head, but an interesting read, nonetheless.)
