Kat Neato!!! We're only one basin over from Mother's Beach so if you can avoid the crazy drunk boaters we're really close.
And you're sure this isn't just some fanboy thing? 'Cause I've fought more than a couple pimply, overweight vamps that called themselves Lestat.

If I had to have a lorakeet pulled out of my cleavage, I'd be laughing too hard to notice anyone laughing at me, I'd think. I'll have to try it some time....

Oh.mi.god! You just reminded me.
So, as we were paddling, we passed a medium sized power boat, maybe 20 feet, maybe more. Nothing super fancy. But in the boat were about 8 guys, all without shirts, but with many tattoos. Looked like they were in their mid-20s. They weren't even out of the marina and already the beer had been cracked open.
Oh yeah, they WEREN'T going to be trouble or anything.

It was so not fun. Apparently, the birds love, love, love buttons and are also fond of unbuttoning them. So I'm innocently feeding one some nectar and it moves on to my hand - I'm all "ooohhhh cool" then it totally ignores the food, and starts moving up my arm, into my hair and down the front of my shirt. Thankfully, one of the staff turned up and grabbed the bird and I attempted retreat (the pooping I'm sure was revenge)

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
Dawn!
Have I mentioned that I am glad I may get to see you soonish?

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
ita we had some peaches that were like that a week or so ago. They were so very good.
Yeah, these weren't good. I mean, okay, good, but I can still taste the sugar now. I don't actually like sweets so much.

Ohhh just sweet then? Ick. The peaches we had were extraordinary. I haven't had any that were that good since I was a kid and I picked them from the tree at my grandparents house.
Ms. Perkins! I'm glad too. Although I'm still waiting on final decree that we can avoid the wedding at all costs ('cause between seeing you and spending time with hubby's extended family?? I choose you, (Pikachu) every time!)

I've only had bait fish down my cleavage. It wasn't fun either but people on the boat were highly amused. Wriggly little thing left scales everywhere. I tossed it to a sea lion after I got it out.

I don't really like sweet, so I'm not the best audience to judge. The first one wasn't this syrupy -- I'm hoping the remaining three or so don't follow suit.
