I dunno if your still doing this but I have a cool story that i never can seem to tell right.
On my 18th birthday I went skydiving with my good friend that I've know since birth lol. The briefing where they taught us what to do in emergencies was only like 5 minutes long so that made me a little nervous that i had to know how to save my life in that sort 5 minute demonstration.
Once we got to our altitude in the plane the chick infront of me jumped and that signaled my instructor to near the door.. then we jumped, very soon after that i realized i couldnt breathe! after like 10 seconds i figured out that u have to close your mouth to breathe lol... The chute opened fine and we did a stand up landing which students dont usually do, they land on their butts but i did it and i was happy to see the ground.
I don't know if thats enough info, i just wrote some of the main points. Help me all mighty Ka!
Haha, you can bow if you like but i do not require it.
Seriously though its a good story, has a humorus element to it, as well as showing you like to take risks. however if i were you id spice in some more emotions to it.
Was it a nice day, whatd it feel like, what where you thinking as you where in the air, did you have to push your friend to do it?
So my version would be something like:
"Ive got a friend ive known forever, and i wanted to do something really kickass for my 18th birthday. So after convincing my friend, i made plans to go skydiving!
So we get to the place and the saftey briefing was only like 5 mins long....i was a bit uneasy with that, i mean in 5 mins im suppossed to know everything about how to not get killed? Then again i suppose you jump 10,000 feet and if your chute doesnt open theres not much your gonna do to stop the plop!
Flying up i could tell the chick in front of me was nervous, so i told her, "Dont worry noone has ever jumped out of a plane and not made it to the ground." I saw she lightened up a little.
Once we got to our altitude in the plane the chick infront of me jumped and that signaled my instructor to near the door.. then we jumped, very soon after that i realized i couldnt breathe! after like 10 seconds i figured out that u have to close your mouth to breathe lol... The chute opened fine and we did a stand up landing which students dont usually do, they land on their butts but i did it and i was happy to see the ground. Was really an experience i think everyone should try at least once."
This makes it a bit longer, and i usually dont but i took the license of adding a lil extra in there...but its not the core of the story, its flirting not lying
Also keep in mind that a huge part of storytelling is your tone, your facial expression and your BL....these things need to be congruent with what your saying.
Hope you like it, cool story i plan on trying skydiving soon, and to be honest i have a phobeia of hieghts.
