After years and years of searching for Tinkerbell, I finally found her…in LA. She has a vacation home there for when she needs a break from Neverland.
As soon as I saw her, instead of politely introducing myself, I reverted to my 29 4-year-old fairy-loving self, and I snatched her up between my hands.
What can I say? I panicked.
Then she bit me…which caused my cupped hands to open. And she flew away. I shouted an apology after her.
But on my hands, she left me some fairy dust, which I used to do this:
I have absolutely no desire whatsoever to jump out of a plane. I’d be that person whose hands have to be pried off the seat…and then again off the door of the plane…and probably again from the instructor’s neck.
But indoor skydiving…that was awesome!
The instructor said I was a natural: I had perfect posture, he said. Which is why he flung me 20 feet up in the air and spun me around in circles on my first flight.
When I came back down, I may have checked the crotch of my flight suit…it was dry. Phew!
#10 on my 35 Before 35 accomplished!

THAT looks like fun!
Tinkerbell is overrated. She’s a bitch with serious anger issues.

We just watched a Tinkerbell movie this weekend. She was so mean to her poor friend Terence, when he was only trying to help! I totally believe she would bite you.
Also, we may watch entirely too many movies about fairies and princesses in a house full of boys . . .

Indoor skydiving, now that sounds like a lot of fun!

Dry crotch. Crisis averted
Looks like fun, but definitely the kind of fun that makes you pee your pants!

That sounds awesome! I’m exactly the same. Jumping out of a plane? Uh, no, I’d rather not die. But I may just have to try indoor sky diving, it looks like so much fun!

Why jump out of a perfectly good airplane? This is much more practical.

Watch out for windshields.

ALWAYS check the crotch of the flight suit, unexpected urine is always risky.

Yes! THIS is what I need to do! That looks so fun! And I would have done the same thing if I were the instructor – as soon as I saw that picture I was like, “She looks born to do this.” For serious.

Thats totally awesome!!

I’ve thought about trying this, but I’ve always been afraid there’d be a power failure in the middle of my flight, causing me to crash to the ground like a cartoon character who’s just looked down.

Brilliant sensation without the whole jumping out of a plane which is crazy part

Great picture!

That looks amazing!

You look like you’re having so much fun! Congrats on getting something off your list.

I know this is an old person question, but how on earth is your back bending like that?
January 29th, 2013 at 2:25 am
This right here? FUCKING AWESOME.
January 29th, 2013 at 5:19 am
Oh god how I would LOVE to try that!
January 29th, 2013 at 2:51 pm
Even though that looks super fun, I’d have some reservations about my hair. “Completely wind-blown” is not the best look for me.

My indoor skydiving teacher told me that I needed to “loosen up a little”. Apparently I seemed a little freaked out. Sounds like you could teach me a thing or too. I’m not going to guarantee that my pants were dry, that’s all I’m saying…

Whaaaaat!?! That’s awesome! Go Thoughtsy
