  1. I wrote my token senior-in-high-school research paper on both sides of the argument. I found a whole lot of evidence and rebuttals for both sides, but in the end, the hoax side really didn't have a leg to stand on. Still interesting to hear arguments and explanations, nevertheless. It's amazing what some people can come up with! -Miranda you shall above all things be glad and young / For if you're young,whatever life you wear it will become you;and if you are glad / whatever's living will yourself become.

    Skydive Chicago

    I won't be there for the weekend, but probably during the week. How long will you be around?

    Rig color idea's

    Oh my god, that totally fucking rocks! (P.S. I like the sig line--from The Onion, no? ) -Miranda you shall above all things be glad and young / For if you're young,whatever life you wear it will become you;and if you are glad / whatever's living will yourself become.

    Rig color idea's

    They both look good. I always think gold and black is a little too "Golden-Knight-esque" for my taste, but with so much gold, it's not as much an issue. The blue one would probably be easier to sell later, if that's an issue. -Miranda you shall above all things be glad and young / For if you're young,whatever life you wear it will become you;and if you are glad / whatever's living will yourself become.
  6. Oh my god, sorry Sunny, but I'm dying over here... -Miranda you shall above all things be glad and young / For if you're young,whatever life you wear it will become you;and if you are glad / whatever's living will yourself become.
  7. Hm... there's a poster here that I know can mark the "I've been vomited on" box. Sorry, Karla!!! (Guess which box I checked? ) Wasn't during a tandem though--rather in the plane after about 100 jumps and one rough night... -Miranda you shall above all things be glad and young / For if you're young,whatever life you wear it will become you;and if you are glad / whatever's living will yourself become.
  8. You're just not hanging out with the right people... I'm 19 and have seldom felt more comfortable than I do at the dz! The dropzone is my family, and I feel like I've been adopted as a daughter or sister or just a good friend. Maybe you need to do a little traveling and find more jumpers our age--especially if you are jumping at a small dropzone. Part of it may just be that you're still "growing up" as a skydiver--once you're off student status, you may find older jumpers warming up to you. In the air, your birthday is irrelevant; it's all in your attitude and how you fly. -Miranda you shall above all things be glad and young / For if you're young,whatever life you wear it will become you;and if you are glad / whatever's living will yourself become.
  9. Haha... it was inspired by Run Lola Run, actually, and I needed a change from the usual pink... Thanks!
  10. Totally... it really cheapens the true beauty of natural red-heads like me. -Miranda you shall above all things be glad and young / For if you're young,whatever life you wear it will become you;and if you are glad / whatever's living will yourself become.
  11. I'm 19, and halfway considering it, just for shits and giggles. Of course, I'd be getting the short end of the stick though, because how could anyone else's life be cooler than mine? -Miranda you shall above all things be glad and young / For if you're young,whatever life you wear it will become you;and if you are glad / whatever's living will yourself become.
  12. I think I'm having the same error... not sure. When I open the home page, I see this. -Miranda you shall above all things be glad and young / For if you're young,whatever life you wear it will become you;and if you are glad / whatever's living will yourself become.
  13. Here alana... the next best thing to IM. untitled is tonight with the new color, and iamadork is the old color... -Miranda you shall above all things be glad and young / For if you're young,whatever life you wear it will become you;and if you are glad / whatever's living will yourself become.
  14. No way, eener--you look WAY too innocent there! How's this for me? -Miranda you shall above all things be glad and young / For if you're young,whatever life you wear it will become you;and if you are glad / whatever's living will yourself become.
  15. I've got a purple protec that you can have when I get a new helmet... but looking at my funds right now, it may be awhile. Keep me updated if you find one, otherwise it's yours (one of these days). Hey maybe I'll win a new one at the SDC Spring Expo this weekend! -Miranda you shall above all things be glad and young / For if you're young,whatever life you wear it will become you;and if you are glad / whatever's living will yourself become.

  17. Princess Di's death: Was backpacking with my family over Labor Day weekend, and happened to run into Mark Lindsay of Paul Revere and the Raiders, who told us. (We hadn't seen anyone, or heard any radio, etc. for a few days.) Columbine: Sophomore in HS; a friend who had just moved from Colorado was upset, and told me what she had heard. 9/11: Senior in HS; was getting ready for school in the morning, and my mom knocked on my bedroom door and said, "Come out here. There's bad news... big, bad, news..." -Miranda you shall above all things be glad and young / For if you're young,whatever life you wear it will become you;and if you are glad / whatever's living will yourself become.
  18. Here you go--from my very own gallery! And if you call within the next fifteen minutes, you can also get "Freefly Stick Figure with Rig" for only $5.00 more! We've also included "Freefly Stick Figure: Atmonauti" FREE in this one-time offer, which is a $10 value!!! -Miranda you shall above all things be glad and young / For if you're young,whatever life you wear it will become you;and if you are glad / whatever's living will yourself become.
  19. They have them at a lot of hotel pools, or at Bally's. Just sneak in, and then put 22 or so under your jacket on the way out. (Besides, you can cut the noodles in half--what the fuck kind of swoop course are you building with that many noodles, anyway? ) -Miranda you shall above all things be glad and young / For if you're young,whatever life you wear it will become you;and if you are glad / whatever's living will yourself become.
  20. A Reactor, eh? You guys gonna huck her off something? -Miranda you shall above all things be glad and young / For if you're young,whatever life you wear it will become you;and if you are glad / whatever's living will yourself become.
  21. Hey chica! I tried calling a couple times last night but my fucking phone card kept cutting me off... I'd try now but I'm not at home. Tell Iwan that he's a looooser for not having AIM (in the best possible way, of course!). Hope you're healing.
  22. I always thought your name came from the song "Wrong Way," by Sublime. Guess not! Do you know the song? -Miranda you shall above all things be glad and young / For if you're young,whatever life you wear it will become you;and if you are glad / whatever's living will yourself become.
  23. Dude, that suuuuuuuucks! What happened??? -Miranda you shall above all things be glad and young / For if you're young,whatever life you wear it will become you;and if you are glad / whatever's living will yourself become.
  24. [hypocrite] I know I did just make fun of the ad in the women's forum, but give him a break... I don't see any guys complaining that this girl forgot do up her legstraps! (NSFW!) [/hypocrite] -Miranda you shall above all things be glad and young / For if you're young,whatever life you wear it will become you;and if you are glad / whatever's living will yourself become.
  25. I really like this idea! But like you said, it's addressing a separate issue than the one that started this thread, which was making sure people were actually whom they claimed to be. The kind of rating system you suggest would make these forums a more useful tool for information exchange, which I think, overall, is more important than who's spreading what gossip in TalkBack and what information can be trusted (People should know to take anything they read on a public forum with a handful of salt!). The two issues are related, but perhaps, in true Tom fashion, these posts should be split off into a new thread... -Miranda you shall above all things be glad and young / For if you're young,whatever life you wear it will become you;and if you are glad / whatever's living will yourself become.
