You know you're a skydiver when...

Trying to make a big list, for fun. I thought this up, when I found a new ringer for my cellphone... it plays Sublime, dropzone music :)



You know you are a skydiver when you think an ideal first date would be a SKYDIVE!!!

... you feel like taking a trip to Minneapolis and mugging someone that works with blue for their access card.



New security.... have to swipe it 4 times to get on a floor after hours. 2 times during hours. Once in front of the security guards, hope the face in the computer matches yours.

But, I have gone up to my floor right past the guards with my rig on my shoulder :) So I know that should not be a problem.

You cancel your plane tickets and trip to see the family, and end up taking a road trip to the next nearest DZ.

You budget the month by cutting out food and drinks from your diet, supplementing in ice chips, grain alcohol, and jump tickets.

You begin to care about your beacon score because good credit translates into $$ for gear.

You don't even mention your weekend of jumping, and the first thing your friends ask was how skydiving went that weekend.

... when you yell "CUT!" to get the taxi/bus driver to stop.
... you don't own any clothes you didn't get at a boogie/DZ.
... when going over a bridge and your whuffo friends say "Look how high it is!" and you say "Look how LOW it is!"
... your friends say "Look at all the clouds." and you say "Look at all the HOLES!"
... you no longer maintain any meaningful contact with friends who don't skydive.
... you drive a $500 car so you can afford a $5000 rig (or 2 or 3) and $2500 camera/helmet system.

(OK, I stole some of these from an article in Skydiving or Canpara from a few years back.)

From the clicky... "You find yourself mentally telling the pilot when to flare while landing on a commercial flight."

I actually did that today! I thought it was because I'm a pilot. I guess indirectly it's because I'm a skydiver because I didn't start flying until after I started jumping.

You reach the front of the que at the Cinema and ask the Box Office if the SkyVan is operating today.
