He he he...nah, I'm an exhibitionist! Just kidding! I have long legs...I usually wear my pants/shorts around my hips so sometimes, my tattoo peaks out. Paint me in a corner, but my color comes back.

Just inside my left hipbone, I have a half-sun/half-moon forming a complete circle with wings coming from each side. I've gotten a lot of compliments on it!

Yey! Three new friends! You really should come down to Deland. You're right...they won't know what hit 'em!

Ha ha ha...well, I would have been your kinda girl then, if I hadn't already clocked my man over the head. Once he made me laugh until my eyes watered and no sound came out, I knew I had to turn on the charm. Once I did that...he didn't stand a chance..ha ha ha.

I hear you skygal...let's be friends

Hmmm, I absolutel love skydivers, but I don't think they, as a group, are an exception as far as being judgemental goes. I think some skydivers are just as judgemental as anyone else. I don't mean that in a bad way. Being judgemental tends to be a natural characteristic. You can see that by reading these forumns at times or seeing various cliques at different DZs. I think what's important is trying your best not to judge others and not giving a damn if they judge you. It happens to all of us. No-one is special. I get mis-judged all the time, mainly by girls and sometimes by guys, as well. It can be aggravating at times, but I get over it pretty quickly and take pride in knowing that I don't have to do the same.

Hey, I hear you...I never did either. I was always too girlie for some guys, not girlie enough for others, too independant here, not naive enough there. Some guys might have took my not dating hardly the wrong way, but I just figure I know what I like. My friends have always been all guys, but I rarely dated. Then I met my boyfriend, and snatched him right up. He didn't stand a chance.

I date nice guys and nice guys ONLY! I'm atracted to sense of humor before ANYTHING else b/c I love to laugh and I'm a goofy girl. I don't see why some women go for the bad boy who will treat them like shit. At a bar, I don't want some one-liner idiot to come on to me. A simple catch of the eye or smile will do. If you let me be, and I'm interested, chances are, I will come to you. After that, I like the guy to do the chasing. Point is...a girl who thinks you're too nice is either saying so because she's not interested or she has absoultly no self esteem and appreciates men who will treat her like crap. I am a beautiful creature and I enjoy men who treat me like one, and VICE VERSA! It works both ways...boys, don't take crap from idiot girls who are full of themselves either. Truth is, no matter how beautiful, there is no such girl who can truly have "any guy they want." Most guys just want that girl for a good lay and then move on. Don't ever sell yourselves short. Don't worry about being too nice or not nice enough...just be yourslef and appreciate the girl who likes you just the way you are.

There was a girl at my DZ last weekend who had a shirt on that read, "Does this jumpsuit make my ass look fast?" I LOVE that shirt!

What he said......I was going to say the same thing. Plus, does the lady flat-out own the property or does she still make payments on it? You could possbily, w/out any down payments, simply assume her loan and continue on with the payments. This is rare but it can't hurt to check.

Carrie & one. Unless you count yourself, and then I guess my answer would be two. Afterall, you can't remain a virgin for as long as I did unless you're VERY familiar with your own body.

Hmmm...I scuba, I skydive, wakeboard, surf...and I still wear a light natural make up. I like it...and whether it comes off or not, I still think I look my best, not my worst. I know what you meant though...just wanted to make one last reply to this thread. I also attached a scuba-pic.

Well said, kalake. Like I said, to each their own. Everyone is entitled to their own standards, and preferences. Skybytch, I didn't mean to imply not wearing makeup makes a woman butch. I never said that. I stand by my comment: power to the woman who is a little girlie and can still be thought of as an athlete. Like I said, I get prejudged a LOT! It doesn't bother me...most people take one look at me and immediately judge that I'm a stuck-up girlie girl. They couldn't be more wrong, but I'm not going to go through the trouble of trying to prove myself to anyone or explain myself. I am who I am and I like to dress up sometimes, and I like to wear mascara and I like to wear a big fat tourquoise necklace. It makes me feel good. But, at any point in time, in my nice clothes, in my mascara or wearing my necklace, I can still rip on a wakeboard or skydive my ass off. I think we're in the same boat, just on different ends. Girls w/out makeup might get judged by some people for the wrong reason, just like girls who are a bit more girlie do, too. I think I said this before and I'll say it again, the grass is NEVER greener. Rich/Poor, Pretty/Ugly, Girlie/Tom-boy, Fat/Skinny or WHATEVER, everyone has judgements by others they deal with. Sometimes the stereotype proves true, and other times it doesn't. How will you truly know unless you get to know a person? And since someone brought up the subject of what we like in men. I second Skymama...I don't want a man prettier than me. I like men who can get dirty and fix whatever needs fixing. I like men who don't mind if I fix it first and trust that I did a good job and don't feel like, just b/c I'm a woman, they have to "double-check" my job. The number one quality I look for in a guy is FUNNY!!! I love to laugh, make people laugh, and I love people who can make me laugh all night. My favorite actors are John Travolta and Kevin Costner, NOT Brad Pitt or whoever else is the hot item at the moment. I've NEVER dated that guy that all the girls wanted. I've ALWAYS dated the guy that most women, after they know him, wish they could marry. Physicalities have never been a big issue for me. I recently read my journal from high school, and in it was my "perfect guy" list. I was pleased to see, that even back then, in that superficial high school atmosphere, there were only two items, in a list of 100 that were physcal characteristics. Some people believe physical appearance makes peopel attractive. I've always been attracted to weird things, like a guy wearing weird glasses for no reason, or the guy at the end of the bar who's hair is a big mess but his shirt is neatly tucked in. To me, once you know a person, they can become uglier or sexier. Lucky for me, I have the sexiest man alive.

I said half an hour TOTAL between showering, getting dressed, and applying a little make up. You're absolutely right, it does make me feel better. I also pray, so judge how you will The rest of what you said, I completely SECOND!;-)

How convenenient, I just finished my resume. I'm graduating in December. I'm looking to go into sales...any kind of sales...I'm great at it; probably pharmaceutical sales. Yes, I'm after $$$. But hey, more $$$, means more jumps, more traveling, and hopefully, one day I'll be able to start my own not-for-profit organization (I want to open a nice, safe animal shelter, where no animals are killed and the adoption rate is high. They have one similiar near where I live but they're always low on money, and if I had my own fortune, it wouldn't matter...I LOVE animals.) I'd also like to write a book.

or (e)...I'll like my job a whole lot more after I graduate college and get a new one!

I second this. The work-out makeup is light, yet stays on. This thread is so funny to me. I don't know about other DZs, but at Skydive Deland, every girl has something on. Guys may think they don't, but THEY DO! Sometimes, only other girls can tell that they have eyeliner on, or white eye shadow or blush or whatever it may be. It might not be obvious to the untrained eye, but I think Skymama can back me up here. Ha ha ha. A lot of skydivers, men and women, paint their nails, dye their hair, wear funky eye makeup or whatever. My personal regime: I take about half an hour to shower and be ready to go. I rarely wear perfume, but I do on occasion. I nearly always wear make-up but only light make-up and mascara. Even when I go without make-up, I wear mascara. I have blonde eyelashes. I never wear lipstick and ALWAYS wear Blistex. I also do not dye my hair. I find it funny b/c most guys can't tell whether I'm wearing it or not. The only thing that's even noticable to my boy-toy is when I don't have on mascara. Otherwise, my face basically looks the same with it or without it. I prefer to wear a light makeup and I don't see anything wrong with it. To each his own. Everyone has their preferences. I just find that more people sound like they're against girls who wear make-up to look pretty than the other girls at the DZ who wear it to make some sort of statement or dye their hair for fun. It's all good to me, either way. Whatever floats your boat. And, Vallerina....I SECOND THAT! Ha ha ha! What about other fake things...I could point out several women at my DZ w/ boob jobs, but no makeup. Is that better? Again, I'll preach the "please do not judge" rule that I live by. Who cares what other people do and why they do it? Be who you are. I don't think you're being anyone else just b/c you wear or don't wear this or do or don't do that. Boys, if you claim you don't like it, you don't have to date the girl at your DZ who wears it. But you don't have to judge her or think you know who she is just b/c she wears it. I get prejudged A LOT. Do I give a shit? Nope! The way I look at it...it's anyone's loss who doesn't take the chance to get to know me, regardless of what they *think* they might know about me. What matters most to me is being who I am, letting others be who they are, and spreading as much love as possible . I'll end by saying this: There is NO RULE that says you can't be a little girlie and still kick MAJOR ASS! I think I can kick just as much ass in the sky, on a wakeboard, on a surf board or wherever whether I'm wearing make up or not. Power to the girl who doesn't have to be butch to be thought of as an athlete.

I leave you alone for one minute and you're posting skin shots. What am I going to do with you, Andrea! At first I thought it was a "Where's Waldo" picture gone wrong, with that shirt on. He he he. JUST TEASING.

Something in a backpack was detinated by local authorities. It was on our local news this morning in Atlantic Beach, Fl. The men are in custody. No worries. Here is the story from my local news website: Terror Threat Closes Fla. Highway By TAL ABBADY Associated Press Writer NAPLES, Fla. (AP) ? Three people in two cars were detained Friday along a South Florida highway on suspicion of plotting a terrorist attack. Authorities shut down the interstate as they used dogs and a robot to search for explosives. The cars were stopped after a woman at a Shoney's restaurant in Calhoun, Ga., reported overhearing three men who appeared to be of Middle Eastern descent making ``alarming'' comments, according to Mickey Lloyd of the Georgia Department of Public Safety. Eunice Stone, who said she was the one who called authorities, told Fox News Channel that one of the men said: ``Well, if they're mourning it 9/11, what are they going to do about 9/13?'' She said the men talked about going to Miami and ``bringing it down,'' though she wasn't sure what ``it'' meant. ``What she reported would lead a reasonable person to believe a criminal act was pending,'' said Vernon Keenan, acting director of the Georgia Bureau of Investigation. The Georgia agency issued an advisory for the men's cars, and the cars were pulled over in Florida early Friday after one ran a toll booth on Interstate 75, authorities said. Bomb-sniffing dogs alerted authorities to material in both cars, but no explosives were immediately found, said E.J. Picolo of the Florida Department of Law Enforcement. A law enforcement official in Washington, who spoke only on condition of anonymity, said that authorities had not found a terrorist connection and that the three men appeared to be medical students going to a medical conference in Miami. The official said the men's nationalities are Jordanian, Iranian and Pakistani, and at least two are naturalized citizens. ``Right now, it's not clear there is any connection to anything else going on,'' White House spokesman Ari Fleischer said. Authorities blasted open what appeared to be a backpack taken from one of the vehicles, and a robot was being used to search the vehicles. Bomb squad technicians in protective blast suits also removed a suitcase and plastic bags from one car and searched the interior and trunk. One of the cars was later moved but the second car was still being searched at noon. ``We're taking it very serious until we can eliminate the possibility of a threat or verify that there was a legitimate threat,'' Picolo said. Picolo said all three people were legally in the country, but he would not provide further information about them. The three were being detained but had not been arrested, he said. The cars, both with Illinois license plates, remained on Interstate 75, and the highway remained closed 11 1/2 hours after the cars were stopped. One plate number, released by Florida authorities, was registered two brothers who live in Hanover Park, a Chicago suburb, but one of the brothers on Friday said he didn't have the plate number and knew nothing about the car in Florida. Information about the second plate was not released. FBI spokeswoman Carrie McCune in Chicago said five federal agency were involved in the investigation. She wouldn't release further information. The alert issued in Florida for the two cars said, ``The men discussed celebrating in Chicago on 9/11 when everyone else was in mourning.'' The Florida Highway Patrol shut down a 20-mile stretch of the interstate, known as Alligator Alley, around 1 a.m. after one of the cars ran a toll plaza, Lt. John Bagnardi of Florida Highway Patrol told CNN. He said the people pulled over were uncooperative and refused to immediately allow a search. The interstate is the main east-west route across the Everglades, running from Naples to Fort Lauderdale.

I think Skymama already got me covered, but my home DZ is: SKYDIVE DELAND

He he he....don't knock it 'til you try it! I guarantee you'll feel MUCH SAFER in a pair of boots when you're going in for the kill! Have fun on Thursday! Keep us posted!

He he he...you're so funny. I love fish and I can't kill ANYTHING with one exception...cockroaches. If there is any type of bug in my house, I capture it and put it outside. I can't kill ANYTHING. Even if I have a house plant on it's last leg, I nurse the thing to hell to get it to come back. I just can't bare me killing anything. However, I WON'T REST until a cockroach is dead. I live in Florida, too. Go figure! When I was little, I had a pair of cow-boy boots that went up to my knees b/c my father made me wear them whenever I'd ride around with him on his motorcycle. I used to keep them by my bed at all times. That way, if I saw a roach, I could put them on and he couldn't hurt me and I could step on him w/out having to feel him. Ha ha ha ha! I"m a clean freak so I keep our house spick and span, which seems to reduce the # of roaches. I almost never see one. If I do see one, though, I usually stick a bowl over it and wake up my boyfriend in the middle of a sound sleep to go be a hero and kill it for me. However, the other night, he was out of town and I stepped on one with my BARE FOOT! I let out a blood curdling scream and RAN to my bedroom to get my boots. Not the same ones I had as a child, mind you, but a pair of red boots that my boyfriend recently bought for me b/c I'd always wanted a pair. So there I was, in my pajama shirt and a pair of red boots, scurrying around the house trying to find the evil beast. THANK GOD for my kitty cat, Sabre. I heard him meowing in the office. He had his paw over the beast and was calling for me to let me know he captured it. He moved his paw and I stepped on the damn thing w/ my boots so hard it left a black stain on my carpet. I had to use stain remover on it! Ha ha ha ha! I felt really bad, though, afterwards. Afterall, cockroaches are always running away from you, not after you. The poor thing was probably so scared and I smooshed the shit out of it. Ha ha ha! I prayed for forgiveness afterwards. Ha ha ha ha! So, I understand how you feel about living in Florida and still not liking bugs. Like I said, no bug, no snake, no nothing bothers me EXCEPT ROACHES! If there's a snake on the back porch, my dad would always call me out to come get it. I'd just pick it up and put it in the grass. A roach, on the other hand, just scares the shit out of me. Go figure.

BWHAAAAAA! That's the funniest thing I've ever heard. JRAF, I'm not so much into business attire, either, but I'm into the paycheck I get so I'll suffer through it. In fact, I wore nothing but flip-flops and board shorts my whole life up until the past 2 years. I've always been into fashion and design, just not for myself. I must admit, though, sometimes it's fun. I drink a lot, but no beer belly and I rarely get so shitty I puke. I have a high tolerance. I was pretty much raised on beer, and when I was little, my mom used to give me Kaloua and milk to help me go to sleep at night. I think I'm immune. Ha ha ha.

Tammi, JRAF will kill me for instructing you to watch TV, BUT, I'm going to anyways. If you watch the shark documentaries on the Discovery Channel you will be amazed at how they've been made out to be a monster in the media, when really, they're not often very aggressive to humans. Certain species, obviously, are but I've seen a couple sharks during my scuba dives and they go about their business. They have no desire to eat you. I've been on lots of dives in the Carribean as i used to take summer vacations there all the time. In all my dives, I've only seen a couple sharks. They were around the reef looking for fish, I imagine. No worries. I understand your fear, though. Sharks are the closest tangible thing to a fear that I have. But I won't let that stop me from enjoying the ocean and all it has to offer. It's completely understandable if you don't choose to go. Afterall, you don't want to panic when you're 60 feet under water. But maybe you shoudl give it a shot. You might be pleasantly surprised! One destination on my list is a great white shark dive. Obviously, you're in a cage when you do these dives. I'd really love to go though....anyone interested in planning a trip?

I don't think T.V. is as bad as some people swear it to be. Anything in moderation is fine. The definition of young and old are open to interpretation. If your definition of young means making stupid decisions and hoping they don't catch up to me, I'd rather be old. But if you mean young as in enjoying life and never letting anything get in the way of what you want to do, then I'd consider myself, young, as well. What I meant by feeling old is that, most people my age are still club-hopping every night, puking the next morning, and calling in sick to work. I don't often, if ever, do any of the above. Also a lot of college kids my age are still living off their folks and can wear a T-shirt to their job at the Gap. I pay my own bills, I've been investing in the stock market for the past 6 years, and I dress profesionally for my professional part-time job. That's what i mean by feeling old. I'm not dead though, silly. I still enjoy having fun. I jsut don't need to go out, for the sake of saying I went out last night. I"m perfectly fine w/ telling someone, "Yes, I did absolutely nothing cool last night."
