I guess they said it all, but as I only have 14 jumps, I'll tell you what my instructor drilled into my head: "DO NOT LOOK DOWN!!!!" And it's true, all my "perfect" landings were when I never looked down, no matter how strong the urge was to let my eyes just take a quick peek....do not look down. The horizon thing works!!!

29.4%......Damn!!

Hahaha - I am the 360 QUEEN!!! I never claimed to be good, just that I enjoy it!!!!! That's why I am going for more coaching. But ANY help is always welcome - how would you have exited?? Pls guys - help the poor, crazy girl out! C'mon - share all that knowledge you've gained over the years!!!

I know what you are going through!! When I did my AFF course I could hardly hear towards level 6.... My ears were fucked for a few weaks, and I was also pretty worried! But it came right again....eventually!

Okay - I've been staring at this picture for the past hour now (it's against my cubicle wall), and I need to jump again!!! I am actually getting withdraw symptoms and feel depressed! I know - I jumped two weeks ago (which was GREAT), but I wish it was Friday already so I can get my ass in the air again!!!!! Does anybody else feel depressed when they couldn't jump the weekend before?

Nah Dude - don't even know where that is.... hehehe

Yeah -Sorry :-( But I need some more coaching first!!! :-) Wanna blow you guys away!!!!! Okay - I don't mean "blow" like in "blow" Agh - doesn't matter what I say now - it sounds bad...hehehhehe

1:0:0 But I would have preferred the jump.....hehehe

Thanx to all - and Rhino, you always speak such truths...

Drunk beyond reasoning....

Okay - no more emotional black mail shit!! I am not a little girl anymore and should have a say in my life too!! So, I booked my tickets to go to my "home dropzone" during our annual homeleave. I'm not sure how many tantrums my hubby is still gonna throw, but it's my life too!! I wanna go there again, buy beers, get rat-faced and get some more coaching from one of the best JM's ever (at least in my book) I think that what I will gain from forcing this on my hubby will far outweigh the initial whining from him.... (Btw - I'm gonna go alone!!!)

December 27 - Capricorn

Blue skies, light winds and NO JUMPING!!!!!!!!!!!!! Why???? Because I was the only person that booked a jump for Saturday!!! And off-course the plane wouldn't take off for just me - not even if I showed the pilot my BOOBIES!!! And I had all my new gear to try out......it sucks!!!!

Thanx Medic!!!! You put a BIG smile on my face!!!

Damn Medic - did you give Sunshine some of that shit to make her forget how you played with her BOOBIES????!!!!

I am so damn picky - it's a miracle I'm still alive!!! How anyone can eat a hamburger is beyond me, I will not eat most sea-food dishes, as I have "moral issues" with the way they get killed, or not killed for that matter, I'll eat red meat only if I have to, eat very few veggies and fruit...really picky about that. Have only recently started to eat eggs (it's like eating an "abortion"....EEEKKK!!!) Spicy food is out. But I have to admit that living in the Middle East has actually made me eat a bigger variety of food. Okay - this is what I will eat - brocolli, chocolates, pasta, chocolates, hotdogs, chocolates, strawberries, chocolate, and a few other things.

Medic - you mean you won't wipe the puke from my face and tell me all sort of shit to make me feel better???

Big smile!!!! Thanx!!

I'm hurt ChromeBoy.....I'm not just one of many. I wanna be named!!!!! :-) HOT: Heith Ledger & all skydiving dudes NOT: Everybody else!!!!!

When I did my course in Namibia, there was this little girl - couldn't have been older than two years, and she has a better arch than me!!!! So freakin cool!!!!

Yeah - are you gonna come do my packing...hehehe

Okay - like I am soooo mad right now!!! I realize that every relationship is give and take and sacrifice, but why does it feel that I only get when I FIGHT for it?? Latest argument - me and hubby are going on annual home leave in June for a month. So, he planned the itinerary as follows: 2 days with his brother, 4 days with my folks, a week at a game reserve, 10 days with his folks and another week at his fav town, but I need to go there for laser surgery on my eyes. His folks live on a farm between nothing and nowhere, and there is NOTHING to do except read during the day. He normally goes off with his dad working on the farm, and I just sit by myself all day. So, I suggested that I go to my "home dz" - Namibia, for about 5 days during that time to get some more coaching.....yeah right! Now I don't care about our relationship anymore and he always have to do whatever I want (referring going to the DZ for a couple of hours on a Saturday). I hate that whenever I want to do something by myself he pulls the emotional blackmail shit! Why do people think you turn into siamese twins just because you're "together"? We had the same argument in Jan when I went to Namibia for the AFF course, and now again. This time I just don't have the energy to fight for it....

Finally - after two weeks I jumped again!!!!! I did my 13th & 14th jump on Saturday...it was soooooo cool!! My 13th jump was brilliant...I couldn't stop screaming and laughing during feefall....damn, do I love that feeling!!!!! Then the 14th jump....kinda went unstable after backloop, but nothing a good arch couldn't fix, but damn it feels scary when you just tumble for a few seconds. Then at pull time I couldn't locate my handle at first....as the reserve handle popped into my head, I found it!!! But two cool stand-up landings close to target and that with a PD190 for the first (beer!!) time & almost no wind!!! For all the guys who gave me advise on how to fix my heading problem...THANX!!! Damn - I love skydiving!!!

I've been told I'm crazy for as long as I can remember....guess admittance is the first step to recovery...

I 'third' that...hehehehe
