If myspace is a miracle, may I never experience one. Thanks to the magic of GTA's foil hat, I have now heard of them, too. I like what I hear so far. Reminds me of the blues festival we go to, or some of the local bands that play at this beachside martini bar we frequent.

Their website. A live performance. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

I bet Mr. Carson got a good laugh! That's too cute. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back. -
I was just about to post this! SO funny! Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

In that case, please refer to my first response, aloneinthesky. To sum up: Suck it up. Everyone looks at the new guy. Stick around and you'll make friends.

Perfect! Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

I responded before realizing...aloneinthesky have you never jumped? I was responding as if you were licensed. I started at a smaller DZ. I DEFINTIELY recommend it, too! I'm a shopper. I called around. I live in Florida so there's a million DZs w/in a two-hour drive. Skydive Daytona was by far the most appealing to me being that I was alone and from the moment the manifest girl picked up the phone, it was as if she were my best friend--had known me for years. She talked to me like a person, not like the next in line. I was actually calling around pricing AFF. I didn't even plan on doing a tandem... Anywho...Skydive Daytona is where I landed, literally, my first jump. And though I've said it a billion times, it will always be where my heart it. It has since closed. But if you're just starting out, I love the small DZ, too, myself. But, don't go to a new, small DZ. That is all.

I'm a girl. So, right away whatever I say toward the subject will likely render the response of "Whatever, you're a chick. It's easier." I understand where you're coming from, and completely validate your feelings. And now, having said that. Suck it up. People stare when they don't know you. High performance guys, for the most part, were once that new guy, too. The ones that don't remember such are tools. Thankfully, I've found those are few & far between. Don't take things so personally. The "high performance guys" are likely training. They have a goal for the day; they're concentrating. They're paying no attention to you or anyone else. Who cares? You're not there for them, are you? Everyone else is looking at the new guy. Everyone looks at the new guy. It's what we do. "Hey, there's a new guy." What you're forgetting is everyone at some point was the new guy. And now they have friends at the DZ. You could too, if you stick around.

Um, is it just me, or is anyone else SO hoping they give good lip-readability. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

Let us know where you go, so we'll know where to send *vibes*. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

What's annoying me more than any one particular incident is some people generally thinking they're entitled to things. That b/c they are this, or have been through that, or whatever they should be given freebies or have their hands held while someone walks them down easy street. Everyone has a sob story. Few people have nothing but "good times & noodle salad." The grass is not greener. Whatever happened to sucking it up, deciding what you want, working hard, and getting it your damn self? Oh, and not asking people to feel sorry for you along the way. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

Davey Jones? Isn't he, like a Monkey? Seriously, I have no idea what you're talking about. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back. -

They have one stripe. And I illustrated it. (See line going down middle.) Get with the program. Then again, one could argue the "one stripe" is actually several stripes close togther forming the appearance of one large one. One could argue... -

OK. OK. Since I failed to take a picture, here is my best rendition I could sketch in 30 seconds. I think I captured his essence well. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back. -
Awesome! Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

I think only Turtles do that to their prey. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back. -
You mean "wussy"? At least spell it right for a girl, Turtle. Besides...if we're talking "wussy", then I just assume say "pussy". Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

It's tough. It really is...holding the vomit down. Oh geez. This is terrible! And I try so fucking hard not to be a bitch! Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

Doesn't "ha!" mean the same thing as "Laughing out loud" only you don't have to abbreviate it and, I mean, it's not as pansy. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.
