SKYDIVING!!!

Tunaman, I wonder whether he was trying to get your head into the right position? Because the way it was explained to me, during free fall — immediately you exit the plane — you must keep your head back, arch your back and kick your legs up in order to avoid tumbling out of control. For the first 40 seconds we were parallel to the ground, soaring like birds, and that was by far the best part because it was exactly like flying! Once the chute opened, well, yeah, that was nice, a slow leisurely descent, but the real rush was the free fall. And no, I am NOT an adrenaline junkie! Ask anyone!

I'm down with slow and leisurely. If I was filthy rich I'd have a (fireproof) zepplin built so's I could drift 100 ft above the forest all slow and leisurely-like. Of course it would feature a bar & grill with tons of view windows and y'all are invited for the Superbowl party.

Nah, this was after we'd stabilized. I kept looking down, and he kept pulling my forehead back. At one point he asked "don't you wanna look around?" and I shook my head and pointed at the ground. I guess he "got" me after that.
