Tuesday, May 25, 2004 ( 5:08 AM ) shut up christine Hello. Priya and I jumped out of a plane. Pri and I jumped out of a plane!! They made us sign a stack of waivers saying “I understand that skydiving may result in personal injury or death” and “in the event of my death I have made arrangements so that my dependents will be cared for” etc etc…yeah that made me a wee bit nervous, just a tad… but then we watched this pre-jump promo video where the tutorial man had an insanely long beard that went down to his desk, and the beard looked all silky soft and that made me feel better...... but anyway heck yeah we actually did it, we jumped out of a motherfreakin aeroplane for goodness sakes. When I was standing on the edge looking down I got the craziest, most amazing intense rush, and before I could catch my breath we were falling flying floating down. To top it off, Priya gave me a big ass hug when I landed :). AND I got to sit in my instructor’s lap the whole time, two thrills for the price of one harhar. So like the promo video said, “when you’re on the outside looking in you can’t understand it; when you’re on the inside looking out you can’t explain it; it’s one of those things you can only experience yourself” …or something like that. Lessons of the day: * Priya is a badass mofo. Whenever I get a crazy idea, she’s the first person to say she’s down, and I heart her mucho. * If I can jump out of a plane, then I can do anythannnng :) p.s. new photo album to the right in the link titled “can I show you something?” hurrah #
