So anyway.....getting knocked unconcious works? I can't say anyone's ever tried it on me, but if it ever happens I'll give you my opinion. ~skysprite

Now that's a neat story.

This was a hit the time that I made it for my family.

or to stop drinking...lol... I actually don't drink. Why are you looking at me like that?? ~skysprite

That's what I thought too, but the Walmart near me was closed! I checked about 6 other places. When I got into one of the shady areas of town I figured I'm a single white female in an area that I don't know and at 2 o'clock in the morning... I'm going home and will just deal over night and take care of it in the morning. It's now 5 and I haven't slept yet. It's not even the mouse keeping me up - damn insomnia! So instead of sleeping I'm washing my dishes and speaking aloud (to the mouse) about how he shouldn't have come to my apartment because I am the mouse exterminator and he will die and to tell his little friends to fear me and to never come near my place or I will come after them and..... well then I felt bad about scaring the little guy so much and took back what I said I'd do to his parent mice and grandparent mice. He still said I was a heartless witch, so I told him he was an ugly disease carrying ball of fur and that he had no chance of ever getting laid and that the world is certainly better off because he would only create little ugly disease carrying balls of fur for offspring. I heard sniffling in the corner so I said I was sorry, but he had it coming. He said it's tough to be a mouse, and that he wishes he could just be liked and accepted, like Mickey Mouse is! I told him I know what it's like to want to just be liked and accepted. So now we kind of have an understanding. But he still knows he's going to die tomorrow and that is part of our understanding. So now he's watching tv as his last request before he dies. errrmmmm...Okay maybe I do need sleep. ~skysprite

Are there no stores open 24 hours in downtown LA?? I was getting ready to go to bed and decided to just flip through the channels and watch a little tv while I had my tea. I see something move out of the corner of my eye... I have a furry little friend who really needs to die soon! And I don't have mouse traps or poison in my apartment (meant to pick some up at the beginning of the semester "just in case") so I spent the last forty five minutes driving to places I thought might be open, but no luck. Guess I'll have to go to sleep tonight knowing this thing is going to be shitting everywhere. But tomorrow it checks out. ~skysprite

We were crashing a seven year old BRUIN's birthday party! Okay not really. Last night was Save Tommy Night. SC puts on this night every year the night before the USC-UCLA game because UCLA has a history of doing stuff to our Tommy Trojan statue; such as flying in a helicopter to drop paint on him, I think once they dropped manuer, as well as I was told once they removed Tommy's sword and reattached it somewhere else... in the back of the statue. So the school and student clubs has this huge party around the statue at the center of campus, and last night they brought in a bunch of air inflated toys; sumo wrestling, gladiator jousting, etc. I got these burns on the air blow up slide in which if you do it right you generally bounce about half way down. It's fun, but about half the way through the night we decided to jump, tumble, etc down, sometimes with mutliple people. *shrug* Dumb drunk kids. Except I wasn't drunk. Does that just make me dumb? Anyway it was a pretty fun, non alcoholic night. They also brought in lots of bands and other live entertainment. Had a "Beat the Bruins" booth in which they got Bruin pinatas for us to beat up. Had one of those climbing walls, as well as that thingy where you're in a harness and get to jump and do a bunch of flips. lol Nothing happened to Tommy, and today we got a 47-22 victory over UCLA. ~skysprite

heh No. It involved a ton of Trojans.... Trojans who today beat the Bruins. Okay so do you guys just want me to tell you? It's not like this post really has anywhere interesting to go. ~skysprite

Well shit, my sectrets out. No, but depending on how you look at it, you could be closer than you think. ~skysprite

By the way, it is unlikely you guys could ever guess it without beaucoup hints or me just telling you. It was completely innocent. But just to make it sound not so innocent, there was in fact a lot of bouncing, sliding, and numerous other participants. ~skysprite

They didn't hurt last night, but found a few marks on my back this morning, which is odd considering the nature of how I got them. No, not in an automobile. ~skysprite

I too did it on my own. It just something I've always wanted to do since I was a kid. It came from watching cartoons and different ways they flew, and I always wanted to be able to fly. I figured that skydiving was flying. My Dad has always wanted to skydive. He said he watched his ex wife do it and was able to go up in the plane with her and watch the whole thing but never got to do a jump himself. A couple of years ago he got a neck injury so now we're not sure if he can ever make a jump because of the jerk most people feel when opening the chute. If he'd ever go talk to his doctor about it and get an okay, I'd buy him a tandem. Unfortunately he can't even go on some of the rides at the Disney parks. But he's still alive and walking and being a poop, and we all love him. ~skysprite

I was trying to look around my apartment to see what I had, but being a [young and invinsible] student, I don't seem to have anything like that. heh The only thing I can find that has aloe in it is: 1% hydrocortisone anti-itch creme with aloe. Maximum strength for skin irritations. For the temporary releif of itching associated with minor skin irritations, inflammation and rashes due to: eczema, seborrheic dermatitis, psoriasis, insect bites, poison ivy, oak, sumac, soaps, detergents, cosmetics, jewelry. Do you think this would help at all? Thanks for your reply by the way, I appreciate it.

What do you put on... well, I guess it's kind of like carpet burn, except I didn't get it from a carpet? I got it in the oddest places, but mostly elbows, knees and a few places on my feet. *whine* ~skysprite

doh! I see it now! ~skysprite

lol! I thought it was some sort of helmet too. ~skysprite

k, I still don't see it. Have a larger picture? It's not as if it matters, but I've been wondering for a while now. ~skysprite

Off topic, but what the hell is your avatar? Maybe I need glasses, but I can't make out what it is. ~skysprite

Besides the fact that I'm underage, I don't drink. Not to sound prude-ish or anything, but I'd rather not buy beer either - it's a personal decision. Will I be laughed at if bring an alternative drink for everyone? (One that's so amazing and orgasmic that they'll forget it's not beer?) Is beer really a necessity to fit in in the skydiving world? Or am I going to be an outcast in this world too? ~skysprite

Yeah, a couple weeks ago someone directed me to this auction where 1 ticket went for over $400. Wow. ~skysprite

Sprite-- believe it or not, I'm 24. Nobody here ever believes me when I tell them that! You have the same problem? It's especially strange here in the South, where there's something in the water that makes 15 year olds typically look 25. Guys traveling to the South on business, beware! Check ID before doing it with some random hottie. Kelly Oh yeah, same problem here. Depending on how I do my hair and makeup I can look my age and even a couple of years older, but generally I don't have time to do hair or makeup. I'm not exactly the extremely feminine type and usually just go for comfort and what works for whatever I'm doing that day. I was actually in Seattle last weekend. My parents and sister flew in from New Mexico, and I from CA, for my great Uncle's 80th birthday party/semi family reunion. The day before the party we went out to eat, and after dinner we were chit chatting with this couple outside while we all waited for our cars. The subject went to school, and I told them I go to USC. The woman said I look way to young to be in college. I think the areas where I grew up had something in the water too, only I never drank tap water so maybe that was my problem. ~skysprite

I'm Galadriel. I can live with that.

You're like me, in that we will always have a young look. When I wear my hair down I look 12. Okay, I'm not that bad, but I figure it won't be so much of a curse when I'm 80. ~skysprite

I'm Tiffany, and I'm a Communications/Cinema Production major at the University of Southern California. I know many of us here are from CA, so let's see how many Bruins may be out there... FIGHT ON TROJANS! KICK THE BRUINS BUTTS SATURDAY! ~skysprite
