9-8-01 & Miscellaneous

I suppose not many people know that I'm acrophobic, or afraid of heights. It's so bad that it took me seven months to work up the courage to do this. This is a photo of the first time I ever climbed up top and stayed there without any help; earlier in the evening, David helped me get up in a crouch and held my hand to steady me as I stood.
It was absolutely terrifying. There's nothing to hold on to, nothing behind you, just a thin rope to balance on which wobbles with every breath you take. After the photo was snapped, I jumped off into the ring and stood there with my knees shaking much like a cartoon character. But I was laughing, too, because dammit, I finally did it...and dammit, I'm gonna do it again next week!!

This is a leftover from last month's pics...I didn't know it was on the new roll in the camera. Peter's got me in a Boston Crab.

David, Wes, and Danny (the new guy).

Okay, this is just a really cute pic of my cat, Killer. Had to run through the rest of the roll so I could get the first pic developed!
