Well turning 30 is a pretty big thing, no more 20's, time to start acting grown up. I don't like planes, and am not a keen fan of heights either, so why not celebrate this new journey of my life by jumping out of a tiny plane at 14,000 feet in the air?? Well, it was a thrill I must say, a thrill I have no intention of experiencing again, but for those 65 seconds of free fall I felt every nerve ending in my body. My lungs got a serious work out too, I managed to let out an extremely loud, ridiculous girly scream for the whole free fall, lucky no one could hear me..well except for the guy strapped behind me. Anyway, for those contemplating a jump, just do it!! But don't let the look on my face deter you!

I was seriously reconsidering at this point

I had to hang my body out of the plane, no turning back now!!

I'm flying

The look of absolute terror

Oh..my..god!!

It's OK..but I'll just scream a little bit more..

The parachuting was so nice, after free falling for 65 seconds, I liked this alot!!

Its all over! Phew..

I wish I had the skill of producing original inventive art..but that creator in me is hard to find, so, I trust in my skills of copy cat for the moment, until the creator shows herself. I've done some paintings that I've seen on the web, however, I'd love to sit in front of the blank canvas and let the end product just emerge. So, this weekend, I decided to force myself to draw again, I've started small, with some pen and ink drawings of lillies & frangipanis, and although I'm pretty impressed with them, its hard to stop the internal critical dialogue. I think I'll use this section to keep dumping my thoughts and try and keep myself inspired, I've attached my favourite pieces of art that I've painted, the first frog is what did for my little sister..I like him!
