  1. hehe - have to agree. Although I haven't start AFF yet, I've done 3 tandems The second one (which could be called my 2nd jump) was the worst. I was so scared I had my eyes closed for most of it. Alot of it had to do with the fact that it was my first time in a 182 and I was getting super clostraphobic. My third was by far my favorite! Oh well, live and learn. Jennifer Arianna Frances
  2. haha - there, you now have a good excuse to come to Rhode Island.... except wait until summer - its f**king cold here now. LOL Jennifer Arianna Frances
  3. Oh my goodness - my condolances to you! I feel so lucky to have a major that doesn't require many papers (computer programming) - because research is not my strong point... thats why this is perfect for me. In computer programming you constantly reuse stuff other people (many other people) have already done and made readily available for you! Couldn't get much easier right?? hehe Good luck on your papers! Jennifer Arianna Frances
  4. Doesn't sound lame at all - after a couple more beers I might take you up on that But because the six pack was already half gone when I got to it tonight.... well... I think your out of luck.... Oh well, it was a thought Jennifer Arianna Frances
  5. ooh ooh - can I have your job? please please please.... I wanna do homework for a living - I SO wish I was done with school so I could get a real job.... personally, I'd get 'geeky on 'em' and fill their head with all sorts of technical jargon - makes you seem more important that way Have a great holiday season! Jennifer Arianna Frances
  6. aww - thanks everyone! I enjoyed my beer/pizza/dvd evening. It was nice to have a night free to do what I really wanted for once. Actually - my hair is jet black... in order for me to get my hair that color would involve a lot of bleach - and I don't need another excuse for being lazy hehe (gee... all that bleach must have gone to my brain...) Have a great night everyone! Jennifer Arianna Frances
  7. awww :( I can understand how nervous you are! Sending vibest from Layne and TiSan in Rhode Island! ~*~*~*~*~*~VIBES~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Arianna Frances
  8. HUH?? Are you saying that this is out of the question?? That something like this couldn't happen??? Arianna Frances

  10. Depends on how much you wanna travel. I live in Providence and take a bus from here to VT to go skiing. They operate the bus every week starting Dec. 22 - and I've heard of daily bus' running from other areas. Renting your gear and traveling with a ski club (info usually found at ski shops in town) costs me $35 for the day (bus ride included!!!) There are cheap ways to do everything. If you want good skiing and top notch instructors you'll have to travel north. I ski NH and VT regularly (took me 7 years to learn how to ski, so I think I'm pretty good judge of instructors at Loon (NH) and Kilington (VT) - they both rocked). The new shaped ski's they teach people on now are SO much better than previous straight ones - you'll have no problem at all! Good luck! Jennifer Arianna Frances
  11. why the hell didn't I think of that?? I was thinking "hey, they could get me an online gift certificate or something" but it would be best if they could leave it at the dz for me. And they can call instead of driving half a day for that! Great advice! Thanks
  12. well.... considering I'm still waiting for my AFF classes (danm, 6 months is WAY too long)... I volunteer for an organization that rescue siamese cats (my obsession for as long as I can remember) Work much too hard Go to school nights (for that programming degree that won't get me a job) Lots and Lots and Lots of arts and crafty stuff And dz.com (of course) Jennifer Arianna Frances
  13. awww Happy Birthday Casch! Hope your day is terrific! Jennifer Arianna Frances
  14. I don't concentrate on the 'race' until next summer... but there is a 'joke' that I always keep in my head about politicians: Q: How can you tell if a politician is lying? A: His lips are moving Jennifer Arianna Frances
  15. heh rented on netflix... Jennifer Arianna Frances
  16. great ideas everyone! Keep 'em coming
  17. awww wish my cats liked snow... cute doggie :) Jennifer Arianna Frances
  18. Already hit up friends for those - I won't be without :) Goggles it is then! Thanks for the help.... now to find a site to purchase them from.... specifically what should someone look at when purchasing goggles for the first time.... (clueless newbie here) Jennifer Arianna Frances
  19. haha - not willing to put mom and dad in the hole for this one - great ideas though. I want to be able to go to aff and be able to use this gift asap - figure I can get an alti there obviously - but the gloves and goggles would probably be best to start with.... whatcha think? jennifer Arianna Frances
  20. Hey all, My mother just called to tell me that they're stumped on what to get me this year (I'm not used to getting things I actually 'want' for christmas so I buy them for myself. If I didn't I'd end up with yet another blender for christmas - who cooks now a days anyway? ) So she asked me what I'd like. I told her something to do with skydiving. The DZ is too far away from her to buy me jump tickets... and I'm not starting AFF until March or April due to all this f__king snow. (again, not bitter at being stuck in the house for 2 days - not at all ) So I thought since I have nothing skydiving related I would have her order me something I could use during AFF - something that would be great to start with. I was thinking along the lines or gloves, goggles, alti etc. but I've no idea if thats even appropriate. Any ideas? Jennifer Arianna Frances
  21. Didn't even think to look at the shows line up for the day when I was watching "learning to fly" this morning.... Doh - had I just watched for one hour longer I would have seen it.... now I have to wait.... oh well, not much else to do while I wait for all this danm snow to melt... cause they won't plow the roads in my 'broke as a joke even though we charge tons of $$ in taxes' town.... nope, not bitter about being stuck in the house for 2 days.... no, not at all Jennifer Arianna Frances

    omg - the first 2 weeks are the hardest. Needless to say I didn't make it. When they told me I couldn't have tomatoes for two weeks - well... that did it for me... Jennifer Arianna Frances
