A bee peed on my toothbrush. --Do bees pee? A bee secreted on my toothbrush. I know you're nervous, surprisingly large beastie, but I was only trying to gently shoo you out.
My Yuletide gift fic has been uploaded! I'm trying to force it to become accessible with a force beaming from my eyeballs. *STARES*
yuletide,

2. NOOOOOO YOU COULD HAVE ADVANCED THE BOUNDARIES OF SCIENCE! (also lacewood sometimes adopts a similar tone when we talk. Heh)
3. I have visions of you camping in brushlands! Or flowery meadows!

2. Science will have to do without me. I AM DEDICATED TO ART.
3. Actually, I'm at home by now. These are the hazards of small town living! (Once a monkey nearly broke in.) (But okay, that was really, really unusual.)

2. But you could be dedicated to BOTH!
3. Glad you're back! :) Oh oh tales of monkeys! I am curious.
When I was younger we found a snake in our backyard (don't think it was poisonous). A friend of mine had a more hilarious tale though: an owl somehow entered her house, and they called the police (this is apparently the correct way to go about things in my country, true story), and two policemen came to her house and spent a morning running and jumping about her living room trying to catch the owl.
The owl was eventually caught, but not before it had left liberal reminders of its presence all over the living room.

2. Bee secretions, I'd be okay with on my artist's palette. Not so much on my palate, however much science insists. (Fatal shooting not allowed for that pun! Aiming at non-vital areas is permitted.)
3. Sorry, I'm being confusing. I meant I'm at my childhood/parents' home, but not my Cape Town home. Both are home! But of course, this fact is not conducive to easy communication.
The monkey was no big deal, really - it scared the cat half to death, and when I was trying to figure out why the cat was spitting and puffing up all morning, a monkey started climbing in the window. It ran away and wasn't seen or heard of since, and it was all just weird.
Glad the snake wasn't dangerous! The owl story gives me mild panic - they're considered bad luck over here. They signal death! So it seems fitting that the police would have to come ... except it's also hilarious. Poor guys, it sounds like they have to acquire an unusually wide ( ... )

And awww, thank you! ♥
2. Because lacewood Googled bee secretions, I did too. I am so much better informed now!
3. Nice! Nothing like holidays with the family. (... which is a line that can be taken both ways.) But it must be good to see your sisters. :)
Hmm! I was not aware of owls meaning bad things where I'm from (but this is possibly because there are not many owls where I'm from. Google says they are inauspicious, though! In my culture bats and lizards are good luck. I remember elder family relatives telling my baby cousin that when she was scared of lizards.
Very much my Poor Friend's Sitting Room... also I suspect my Poor Whoever Had to Do The Cleanup.
