Today my friend Ryoni took me bungee jumping- one of the craziest feelings I have ever had in my life. But it is odd that I knew almost exactly what it would feel like from dreams I had when I was younger. The dreams were of me free falling, and so real. Today brought back vivid memories from those dreams.
I was not at all nervous until I got to the edge and the guy started to count down. He didn’t even try to prepare me, he just said “jump out that way. 5, 4, 3,” “Wait!” I said “Can I yell something?” His reply was “I don’t really understand. 5, 4, 3, 2, 1…” and then I yelled out “Zeppelin Ruuuullles!!!” and took the jump. I heard the crowd of onlookers gasp as I almost broke the surface of the water, and then again as I got close to the jump platform on my rebound. But it was too much of a rush for me to care at the moment. The guy who jumped right before me hit the water and was all wet- so I knew it was a possibility before I jumped, and had me thinking about sitting on a bus soaked for the ride back home.
