history: I'm going skydiving in a few days. I've never been before so I'm quite nervous about it I'm going skydiving in a few days
current: Is this your first time?  I know that is something that I would even ever consider.  My fear of heights would render me completely lifeless.  So are you doing the real skydiving or in one of these indoor skydiving places?
next: It's the real deal! Tied to another person. It is my first time, and believe me I am scared out of my mind...but you only have one life to try new things assuming you don't go splat :D
