I skydived (dove?)
for an anaphylaxis charity once. It was horrific and I'll never do anything like it again. The guy I was strapped to had really bad breath.

I'd be grateful for anything that took my mind off the sheer horror of living through my actual worst nightmare
Halitosis is a bastard

I am actually completely fucking terrified of heights

Nothing like that scares me
so I was surprised that I hated it. It started before the jump, all morning whilst we were waiting and getting ready, I just felt a sense of dread and unease. Everyone was full of the usual "you'll love it when you get up there" and stuff, but I just hated every second. People said I looked paler than usual.

When I read about people having sky diving accidents or falling from great heights it makes me feel a bit nauseous at the thought of it.

You should have cut his straps.
Fucking halitosic anaphylaxis charity skydiver.

I think Larry Vest is trying to kill you.

But not necessarily in that order.

It works in the Bond movies.
Also, how often do you get the chance to post a sentence like 'Fucking halitosic anaphylaxis charity skydiver'. And what sort of scrabble score does that get?

I've done one skydive (pics on my FB)
And I fucking loved it!!
( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Mon 21 Jun 2010, 14:15, Reply)

all my friends loved it
and I should have loved it, but just didn't. I can't even describe why I hated it. Everyone said that feeling of freefalling was amazing, but I just blocked it out until he pulled the cord. I enjoyed that bit, the slowly floating down to earth, that was amazing. The views were just unparallelled.

Perhaps you should try hot air ballooning.
If at first you don't succeed - don't try skydiving.

I would like to do that
The height thing doesn't bother me, I think it was the plummeting. I nearly had a heart attack on Rita Queen of Speed and that was only going forwards.

Very serene up there
Views for miles around.

my ever helpful boyfriend was taking lots of pictures on the day
This was one he got of me on arrival at the base.

that is not a face that says "I am looking forward to this"

I know!
All my friends were full of adrenaline and excitement, I looked like I'd been dug up and was upset about it.

I can't see the pic due to my work's firewall
but I know exactly what that face looks like
