How many differing aspects of You are there? Not making a poll because I want discussion, not votes lets see...... who all is there...well here is a glimps, try and keep up its a bit wierd hahah but so am I I've Named them for easier thinking.... Emo- she is kind of dark-a bit gothic, focuses on the different emotions and how they feel, what to do with it and protects the others. she gives the warning voice, but will sit back to see the outcome. she is tough but broken and she analysis not only me but other people and surroundings. Bashfull- is the librarian/parental figure who tries to keep it all together, knows and believes in right from wrong, she is cautious, leary, opinionated, inteligent but cant spell, as a disiplanarian she puts a damper on the more playfull ones in me *-they dont really like her much haha Dizzy- shes funny and very blond, can entertain herself for hours, amusing to most, she is clumsy but cute ..and a bit on the less inteligent side. Bouncy-loves life and is very playfull, she likes to be creative, can be annoying -but doesnt care too much because she is haveing a blast, she is a bit selfish but doesnt want to be. loves adventure and finds mischife can be enticing Nymph, -well she is the craziest and wildest of them, that girl is all about a good time. extremly perverted, adventurous and naughty, craves sexual attention and loves to give it back. over and over and ... *(she tends to get herself and the others in trouble... they try to keep her locked up, and caged.) Trixy- she is the trickster and loves to goof off, smartass to life and in life. she enjoys causing trouble and watching the mayhem unfold. she is also a scheemer *she loves nymph and Drinky. plays well with bouncy and makes fun with dizzy Drinky -is the party girl that never wants to stop, she stumbles through the night singing, dancing, and laughing. she is forgetful and has memory blocking abilitys Cozy- is the very sweet cuddly one who just wants to be warm and fuzzy. she loves everything and justs wants to hold it or hug it. she has a hard time letting go, and gets attached to things easily. when she gets hurt they all take time to mourn with her. She is closely garded and loved deeply by Emo who helps her recover.

I don't know their last names but we have a couple of deafies--John and Brian--who are fairly new to the sport. Nice guys for sure, even if they don't talk much.

Thanatos340 1 #13 February 4, 2008 There is only one "ME" (Thank GOD!!) that is made up of many different aspects. Different Situations call different aspects into the forefront. At work, There is the serious aspect driven to succeed. Professional, Courteous and Serious. With my Daughter, Caring and supportive. At the DZ, Time to relax and not be any of the above.. Obnoxious, Crude, Relaxed and fun. All different roles but yet still aspects of the same person. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lindercles 0 #20 February 4, 2008 Temple used to have TVs with all the manifest information on them. Sometime a few months ago they randomly stopped working, but I bet Mark Mark could get them working again if you asked him nicely. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It really helps when the DZ I'm at knows I can't hear the announcements on the PA system and someone there gets my attention personally. As for these two deaf guys, you can ask them (written notes if necessary) if they keep up with load info or if they would like to have someone keep them informed. They might appreciate the gesture. The only time I have ever missed a load, was at a Mullin's $99 boogie til ya puke in the mid '90s. Mike Mullins does not like to be kept waiting by fun jumpers. It was my fault really.

ACMESkydiver 0 #22 February 4, 2008 I'm actually pretty impressed with this thread! I was expecting all kinds of garbage from people saying, "I'm exactly the same way here, on the DZ, in person, and in any situation." Horseshit. I don't actually cuss at/around my children. (Ok, unless, like, an anvil falls on my toe or something and they happen to be around). Joe is the only person that sees me bitch and moan or cry (in person, I do plenty on the internet ). Poor guy. Everyone else sees my happy face all the time --> That was one of the best lessons that I ever learned. I guess I'm a little different for business, too...like a lot of other people have said. It's just required. I don't think it's a big deal; I just have to act more professional. ~Jaye Do not believe that possibly you can escape the reward of your action.
