Learning to Fly

Jun 14, 2007 12:02

I can feel myself moving into my Annual Summer Work Ennui, whereby I spend whole days trying to avoid doing any work at all either by reading a bunch of shit on the intarwebs, or...well, I guess that's it, really. I mean, I AM trying to figure out how to convert my Audible downloads into MP3s so I can finally listen to them en route to Hatteras ( ( Read more... )

Man, what a story! I think it's great how much meaning this birthday has to you -- your freedom, the beginning of the rest of your life, and how great you feel.

I didn't know you could land on your BUTT! I thought I was forever "safe" from exiting a perfectly good airplane, because of my feet. But I might be able to do this some day.

What a lot of great detail! Breathing in tandem... the hand signals... wanting the helmet. I love the way you write.

Thanks so much for all your kind words, especially about my writing!

You should really do it, Ceej. Aren't you the one who chose "flying" as a superpower you'd like to have? Well, do it without a plane.

It is really SOOOO fun.

awesome! you're making me think I could do this.
wonderful yarn-weaving here.

I'm looking at the pictures now.
"my jumpsuit bubble-butt" - actually, I was noticing Mike's codpiece. *blush*

Thank you! Do it if you can -- it's a lot of fun!

LOL -- I debated about whether to point out Mike's codpiece. I imagine his jumpmaster saying in the next picture, "THIS is how tall your penis would be if we stood it up on end!"

They really do tighten your harness enough to feel that you're putting your privates on disply for the world. It's kind of a macho feeling, actually.

yep. I might have to give this more thought.
it's that look on your face.

The "I am ecstatic" one? That's my favorite picture because it shows EXACTLY how I was feeling!

waning_estrogen June 14 2007, 18:00:07 UTC

that's the one.
it's been a long time since I've felt that.

redgrrl June 14 2007, 18:22:31 UTC

It's a great feeling -- I wish I could bottle it up and give it away.

I'm smiling after reading that. I could really feel your joy in the experience; that's soooo damned cool. :-)

Thanks! (The icon really adds to your comment!:).

It WAS damned cool!
