Okay I work in downtown Chicago so people are every where. How do you know when its an appropriate time to strike up a conversation? Obviously when they aren't on their cell phones or playing pocket pool- Should I just stare at them until I get the blank lost look and then say hi? Best Girl Scout Ever.

Patrick- Hows the jumping at the farm going along? I actually have a picture of you sandy and jack in my cube along with bolas in his wedding get up. Keeps me motivated at work Best Girl Scout Ever.

yeah- that's my thing- I've been trying to separate the two. I've met quite a few people where I interacted with them here and then met at the dz (by accident) but its easier because then we already have a rapport. Its kinda ironic to be writing/studying so much about human behavior (majority of the study on deviance) and being so involved you actually lose sense of yourself! Best Girl Scout Ever.

They did- I tried it on the elevator the guy didn't say a word! Then he ran out! So much for that. Best Girl Scout Ever.

Nothing like coming to the DZ dressed like the ham-burgler stuffing every one with burgers. Omg- that would get a bit of interesting conversation. But then again- the pilot will hate me at the end of the day- those burgers tend to turn quite a few stomachs..... Best Girl Scout Ever.

Actually that is a great idea- it seems that generally any food around the dz is what has to be made (generally grilled food or frozen food) or mcdonalds/burger king. Maybe I should bring dinner....yummmmm Best Girl Scout Ever.

I used to bowl in high school. I have the pictures to prove it hahahahahah Best Girl Scout Ever.

I've studied human behavior A LOT and I love humans- the problem is as of the past 2 years interaction majority of my interaction with the male/female species (outside of my friends/family) has been for humilation/manipulation fetishes. Majority of why I tend to stay quiet is because I don't want to disturb people in their natural state. Once I start asking questions- I just study them- and I find that terribly unfair to the subject. My major problem is just being able to relax- deep breath- and just going with the flow.... Now the intent and motivation of the bdsm study was to figure out WHY these people do it- (I ultimately lost my grip of the vanilla world) and I have to "refresh" myself when it comes to going back into the normal realm of society. Though I haven't fully removed myself from the "lifestyle" I certainly cut down from the # of clients I have. It becomes more of a burden than a blessing- plus its not really what most people thing it is- its more of psychology and a release for the fetisist. I just need a breath of fresh air- Maybe I will pick up bowling Best Girl Scout Ever.

That's a good idea for IN The dropzone- hahahahaha - what about outside of it? Thats majority of where I struggle- at the DZ everyone around has a common interest- skydiving- so its a bit easier to strike up a conversation. I was almost crying at my desk when I read your reply! hahahaha. Best Girl Scout Ever.

I was jumping this weekend, and despite the blitzkreig manner in which I have come to the dropzone.com, I tend to be quiet around the DZ and in general public. I am asking all of you for some advice. How do you approach some one? When ever I go to a club/bar- I am quite the conversationalist- but it tends to be because I had a few drinks to ease "edge" off. I always leave clubs with a new friend- however when I am sober- only time I can have conversation if some one else initiates it. I can't seem to approach a stranger and just start talking- I start thinking to much about what to say...and if I am imposing on time/current circumstance/emotions...etc. I am asking for help on how to strike a conversation without the intent of having sex or have a sexual stigma placed. Just stimulating conversation and fun activities to share. Men and Women alike- How would you want to be approached? Best Girl Scout Ever.

You should both come jump in Chicago. SDC is amazing! Hope to catch you at a boogie Best Girl Scout Ever.

I am pretty much tired of being dependent on the thing. I am just going to use it when I have to. Since none of my personal friends are skydivers- not having a phone with unlimited minutes will allow me to actually have conversation with others besides skydiving. Best Girl Scout Ever.

My blackberry is gone- please resend me #'s Thanks! I am here to rant about T-Mobile and their SHITTY customer service. So- I get buy a new blackberry curve because I broke my original phone blackberry pearl and it wasn't insured. Lesson learned: Get insurance As I purchase my goods- I have to do the following: 1. Pay 340 dollars for the phone. 2. Renew my contract for another 2 years. 3. Pay 5 dollars for the insurance (which is added on to my phone bill.) So I agree to all of the above and leave the store with my new black berry and less money in my bank account. THE CRIME SCENE: Then a cab driver drives away with my black berry because my DUMB ass lets him borrow it to make a phone call... I call T-Moblie and do the following: 1. Find out who the cab driver called (turned out to be NO ONE- he set me up that fucker) 2. Hold the service until I can get a new phone 3. Find a location where I can pick up my brand new Insured phone. T-mobile states I have no insurance- That was impossible- I accepted the insurance as I had to pay full price for a phone! They could do nothing as the purchase wasn't recorded- Next day- Furious- I decide to call the location where I bought it and find out why my insurance wasn't on there. They told me- well sometimes we forget to add it on. I was in shock- due to THEIR error I have to shit out another 300 dollars. Then the idiot at the register says "well you could have checked your bill to see if it was insured" I asked her how many days I have to add insurance on a cell phone. 14 days- upon new purchase My bill cycles every 30- How the fuck would I catch it if it was THEIR ERROR!?!??!?!? Impossible! OMg. I hate T-mobile. those fucks. Lesson learned: Downgrade my plan and learn to be more social in person. I have become too dependant on that thing and my social skills are being greatly affected. Best Girl Scout Ever.

**UPDATE** I am now at jump 25 - Did my first hop/pop today Using a saber 2 170 which is loaded 1:1.1lbs Landings have been wonderful- I am losing my tunnel vision every skydive and becoming more aware of the skydive. Free fall always can be improved but that comes with time. My exits have been much better than AFF levels. I am deploying stable, and have complete altitude awareness. I've been looking around for a rig- so I can start jumping alot more. However its been quite difficult to find a small enough harness.... So I have just a few more things on my A card to fill out and I should get ready to obtain my license! Best Girl Scout Ever.

I've done it 3 sessions worth- and the tattoo is still there- it's still fully black and they didn't remove any of it. After the third session - I figured I put it on for a reason and there isn't any thing worth removing it. Its more painful to get it removed than getting a tattoo on. Think of hard snapping rubber bands plus burning sensation. Or hot needles popping at your skin. Its not a continuous laser but bursts of "pops" Remember how you had your tattoo covered in bractracin or what ever you used? You have to do the same after every session. It's quite expensive depending on how many sessions/and the intensity of the laser they are using. Its not uncommon to have 15 treatmens before removing the tattoo. Most doctors will say less to keep you ambitious but its much more.... Green and white are the hardest to remove from your skin, Best is to do a LOT of research on it. Best Girl Scout Ever.

Even better see if we can SLEEP with the exec's at exxon- I can steal barrels of oil just to fuel my car. Next thing you know people are going to be hookin just to fill their cars up to go to work! muahahahhahahahahh Best Girl Scout Ever.

I heard that part of the bonus is that the post whore of this forum gets to jump out of a cake for the party that the mod's have! those sluts !!!!!!!!!(post whores that is) Best Girl Scout Ever.

I knew it! Mods are trying to stop everything! What's next- BOOBIES??!?!??! AHHHHHHHAHHAHAHHAHAHAHAH what have we done to deserve this?!??!? Best Girl Scout Ever.

I don't want her to be a SKYDIVER- All I am just saying is for her to try it (tandem) Because people say a bunch of shit, but have never tried it. That's it- I just want her to exerience things outside of her house..... And when I used the driving-skydiving analogy I was just using it as justification that her driving everyday x number of miles every day is more dangerous that 1 tandem skydive. YES- its a HORRIBLE and NOT a valid statistic that I pulled out of my ass- but I am willing to back up my words with- yes I am a dumb ass for saying that. Best Girl Scout Ever.

The mod's dont like clown penis' either. boo! Best Girl Scout Ever.
