A better roof rack for my car, a tandem sea kayak and a pimped out scholarship. "Life is a temporary victory over the causes which induce death." - Sylvester Graham

Congratulations! I know how good it feels to get back to jumping. I have to admit though.. I am jealous of your recovery! I can't believe you're already all healed! My knee is still fairly fucked from surgery 7+ months ago. "Life is a temporary victory over the causes which induce death." - Sylvester Graham

Did you stalk me too???

I just checked... there is no picture of you doing a naked handstand on there. "Life is a temporary victory over the causes which induce death." - Sylvester Graham

You'll need to post a picture of yourself doing a naked handstand for us to judge if you're really "hott" or not. "Life is a temporary victory over the causes which induce death." - Sylvester Graham

I almost posted to someone that I felt sorry for their kid... But I realized that that would be a pretty mean thing to say.. so I didn't post it. "Life is a temporary victory over the causes which induce death." - Sylvester Graham

I think I may have posted this before... http://www.myspace.com/kameal83 "Life is a temporary victory over the causes which induce death." - Sylvester Graham

I can be a fairly shy person.. but I love going to a new DZ on my own. I haven't been able to do that in a while cause of school and since I was packing every weekend for five years.. but I still think it's cool. You just have to step out of your shell a little bit, find someone who looks nice, tell them you're new and ask to be introduced to people.. then just start jumping! You need to jump though.. really. Actually going and getting on at least several loads is key. If you're nervous about the actual jumping part of going to a new DZ.. just ask for a really good airport briefing from an instructor and make sure that you get any questions that you have answered. Maybe make a list of possible concerns before hand so you know that you've had all issues addressed in the briefing. Don't be scared about going to new places.. you'll learn soon that it is actually really easy to go to a new DZ. The fact that you can just bounce around DZ's and always find new friends is one of the coolest things about the skydiving community.

FUUUUUCCCCKKK NOOOOO!!!!! Are you kidding?? I bet your neighbor's got worms! "Life is a temporary victory over the causes which induce death." - Sylvester Graham

Hey.. I made a post just last week about not knowing how to do that! http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=2772689;search_string=power%20tool%20moron;#2772689 I didn't break the drill.. and I actually ended up doing a very nice job installing my cam-eye. So don't worry. Edited to add: But I did almost drill through my hand a couple times.. tell him to watch out for that.

There is no question that I will get my degree.. I mean, I'm just six weeks away from that. But man, it can't come soon enough!!! Mostly, I'm just dreading a major project that I have to do and it's really just kinda crippled my performance in other areas. I have been working on an honors thesis this year.. but my mentor up and quit during the middle of last quarter, and the project just turned out to be something completely different than what I signed up for. I was supposed to actually get to work with people with aphasia, now I am just recycling someone else's data and have to present it as my own project and I am just really not happy about that. I have to present it at a school wide research symposium and to the entire department. The project is just so worthless I'm embarassed to put my name on it and kinda ashamed that because of this I will graduate with distinction. I can't wait for this summer.. not thinking about assignments that are due.. just skydiving and packing reserves and working in the garden.. man does that sound like heaven!!! "Life is a temporary victory over the causes which induce death." - Sylvester Graham

Oy. I feel like such an idiot right now. I'm so stressed out this quarter and just lack zero motivation. I've been completely dropping the ball on several big things and I'm so embaressed at my poor performance. I just want to go bury my head in the sand and pretend that I don't know how bad of a slacker I'm being. It's time to graduate and just not see all of these people again! Ok.. now give me some tough love and tell me to suck it up and get my shit done. Go on.. "Life is a temporary victory over the causes which induce death." - Sylvester Graham

How can I become the best freeflyer on the planet? How do I store flower bulbs for the summer so that when I move in a couple of months I can plant them at my new place? Are landlords always assholes? Where is the wasp nest near my house hiding, and how do I kill them without getting stung/bit? Why is SuperKat pretending to be a man when she is really just another chick who is crazy-in-love with me? "Life is a temporary victory over the causes which induce death." - Sylvester Graham

Anyone can steal a picture off the internet and claim that it is "him"self.. You'll need to take a picture of yourself holding today's newspaper with the date clearly visible, upside-down, juggling bowling pins for me to believe that you're really a guy and not just some lesbian stealing pictures of men in uniform off the internet. Just kidding.. congratulations on having a penis. "Life is a temporary victory over the causes which induce death." - Sylvester Graham

Hmmm... not so smooth. I don't go for he-women who call me sweet thang. I think that you need to post a picture of yourself (clothed, because I'm kinda scared what you have going on) so that I can remove my previous made-up-mental-image of you as a woman and replace it with what you really are. "Life is a temporary victory over the causes which induce death." - Sylvester Graham

Umm... Excuse me.. I think you may have my stapler. "Life is a temporary victory over the causes which induce death." - Sylvester Graham

I thought you were a lesbian.. I'm confused. "Life is a temporary victory over the causes which induce death." - Sylvester Graham

Highly variable. The thing is changing positions all the time and will sometimes partially inflate on the way down. It also depends on the air, I've seen a cutaway main literally hang in the air on a thermal for about 15-20 minutes. Most of the time, it seems to land close to the same time as the person who cut away. "Life is a temporary victory over the causes which induce death." - Sylvester Graham

:3:0 3 nice video jumps on Friday afternoon.. one freefly, one RW and one tandem video. Sold the tandem video.. so far I'm 4/5 for selling my first tandem videos. That shit is sooooooo much fun! Can't wait to be a real vidiot. -Karen "Life is a temporary victory over the causes which induce death." - Sylvester Graham

I used a vacuum to suck the dust out.. hopefully that worked. But then I took it on three jumps.. that probably cleared the dust out pretty good. "Life is a temporary victory over the causes which induce death." - Sylvester Graham

A hole for my poly-tail to fit through... duh. Here is the cam-eye.. nice and recessed. "Life is a temporary victory over the causes which induce death." - Sylvester Graham
