I'd better rethink Mardi Gras if boobies are already getting old... "You laugh at me because I am different, and I just laugh at you."
-
Umm...as for posting the pictures...I'm using my good ol' cliche which works for any situation "What happens at Mardi Gras stays at Mardi Gras!" I'm just a modest girl (this lets me okay myself to get a little crazy while not in my home zip code.) Where do you normally jump, Scott? "You laugh at me because I am different, and I just laugh at you."

"No fiar, no fair.... you have to re-earn all new ones this year!" That's why I'm taking my roommate; it's her turn to do the dirty work! "You laugh at me because I am different, and I just laugh at you."
-
"My parents are the exact opposite. " Sounds like something my dad would do! He still doesn't know that I own a rig (it's not that I hide it from him; I think he's in denial.) "You laugh at me because I am different, and I just laugh at you."
-
Only two weeks till I'm there! I can't wait. (I'm gonna cheat and wear the beads that I worked so hard for last year.!) "You laugh at me because I am different, and I just laugh at you."

"at least at our DZ if someone looks new there'll be plenty of people talking to him/her, and trying to persuade to jump." Same with my dz (probably most, actually.) It only took two years of taking her to the dz, my yapping on about skydiving, showing her the videos and pictures to finally convince her. "You laugh at me because I am different, and I just laugh at you."
-
It's sunny and about 50 degrees in Indiana. I can't believe it's January!!! Too bad my dz is only open on the weekends.... "You laugh at me because I am different, and I just laugh at you."

I finally convinced my roommate to go to the Mardi Gras boogie with me for the majority of the time; we're just going to hit New Orleans for a couple of hours Friday night. She was a little worried about not having anybody to talk to while I'm skydiving, but she's short and cute and looks like she's 12, so I'm sure there'll be plenty of men willing to talk to her. What really worked in convincing her, though, was getting her to commit to that tandem that she's always wanted to do. She's a senior in college, she'll be at the crazy Mardi Gras party scene, she'll be along the Gulf Coast, and she'll be getting a ball and chain soon once she gets married. I can't think of a better atmosphere to have a first jump in. I'm glad she's going; now I don't have to drive 14 hrs by myself! "You laugh at me because I am different, and I just laugh at you."

This is a picture of my best (and last) round in the Sport Accuracy competition at collegiates. I'm still shocked that I stood this one up (although I understand, now, why my ankle was bothering me.) "You laugh at me because I am different, and I just laugh at you."

"Remember saying that? " Just because I can't remember much from Florida between the hours of 10 pm and 8 am.... I wrote that "quote" in an e-mail, since they asked us to send them our feedback about the test events. Wow! That's cool I have a quote, too! First time for a quote and a picture...that's a big ol' case a beer! Miller High Life anyone? "You laugh at me because I am different, and I just laugh at you."
-
Awesome post, Bill! I thought I had learned a lot from you in Quincy, but I still keep learning so much from your posts. You've answered questions that I'm still not even knowledgeable enough to ask! "You laugh at me because I am different, and I just laugh at you."

"I would suggest that she use her inhaler right before she boards the aircraft" She'll probably end up doing that. That, or I'll inject her with some sedatives beforehand to make her relax. Thanks for the info! "You laugh at me because I am different, and I just laugh at you."

Well, actually my roommate can't. She has asthma, and she gets asthma attacks when she gets nervous/excited or for any other random reason. She wants to do a tandem at the Mardi Gras boogie and was wondering if she could take her innhaler up with her. That shouldn't be a problem, right? Anyone know? "You laugh at me because I am different, and I just laugh at you."

"Shoulda got in that picture with the red dress you were trying on! " Oops! People saw me trying it on! I thought I looked hot (well, besides the fact it was made for someone half my size.) "You laugh at me because I am different, and I just laugh at you."
-
I think the picture of all the collegiate competitors is supposed to be in there; if it is, I'm the one who sticks out like a sore thumb (I'm wearing a bright yellow t-shirt.) "You laugh at me because I am different, and I just laugh at you."
-
"If it was in Cabo san Lucas, that was us! " Hey, Bill! Nope, sorry; I've been watching for ya, though! The show that this tandem guy was on was Dismissed. The show that you're on has its season premiere this coming up Monday (The Real World Road Rules Challenge.) Okay, I watch WAY too much tv. Nobody should EVER have the episode schedule for MTV memorized! "You laugh at me because I am different, and I just laugh at you."
-
"Yep, if you are going to have creepy men hitting on you, it might as well be at the DZ. Right?" Exactly! And at the dz, I tend to not have to pay for my beers in the process! "You laugh at me because I am different, and I just laugh at you."
-
Anyone else see the guy doing a tandem on MTV the other day? His comment "I'm really nervous, because I'm going to be jumping from an airplane at 1300 ft." Then again, I'd also be pretty nervous if I had to exit the plane at 1300 ft. "You laugh at me because I am different, and I just laugh at you."

Hey, check my signature. They'll laugh at me 'cause (to quote my dear, good friends who don't like me much now) I'm "wasting all of my money jumping out of a plane when i could be at the bars waiting for creepy men to hit on me." I laugh at them, just because. "You laugh at me because I am different, and I just laugh at you."

I went to an amusement park for the first time since I began skydiving over winter break. I had an awesome time on the rollercoasters (but it may be due to all the free beer I drank Busch Gardens...) It also helped that there were no lines, and I got in for free. My opinion's biased, but I still love rollercoasters just the same! I can't wait to go to Cedar Point this semester!!!!!! "You laugh at me because I am different, and I just laugh at you."

Purdue doesn't like our club too much (they won't let us have demo jumps into our stadium, and they watch us like hawks.) But, other than that, as long as we're legal (which means going through our business office for all of our dealings) we're allowed to spend our money however we want. Our club eventually wants to purchase a rig, while still having fun with our money (raised from the 150 or so one-time jumpers) by going to the wind tunnel, collegiates and fun jumps. We're gonna try selling magazine subscriptions as a fundraiser, so we'll see how that goes... "You laugh at me because I am different, and I just laugh at you."

Through all the various jobs that my roomie and I have had (cashiering, bussing tables and hostessing, secretary stuff) we've both had the best luck using a temp agency like Manpower. My roomie got a job paying her $14 an hour (I only got $10 an hour.) Right now, we're both going to try substitute teaching ( we have Mon Wed and Fri off of school, so our availabilities are great for it.) Also, some of my friends work at factories and love it (since the pay is great and hours are flexible.) Hope I could help! "You laugh at me because I am different, and I just laugh at you."

I've given up a high GPA (especially when our dz was open during the week.) I've also given up boys, due to the wide selection of skydiving men that I've found! "You laugh at me because I am different, and I just laugh at you."
-
Another good song is "Back to the Earth" by Rusted Root. It fits the more peaceful skydives that techno and rock just don't seem to fit. "You laugh at me because I am different, and I just laugh at you."
-
"When You're High" by Why Store. It's about weed, but it works for skydiving as well. "You laugh at me because I am different, and I just laugh at you."
