umm, I just did this cuz my sis asked me too ... and I'm cool like that, or a loser ... whatever.
I definatley want to jump out of a plane! My cousin did this recently and I watched the dvd of his jump. I've been asking if anyone wants to jump with me and haven't found anyone who wants to do this. So, Lindsey, if you decide you really want to jump let me know and I'll go with you. I know you don't know me very well but I don't think I'd want to jump out of a plane alone.
