"How could he skydive with that many bracelets?"
Legitimate concerns brought to you by Ben Wyatt. Love that skydiving gave him the confidence he needed to talk to Leslie, and that even though he was reluctant he loved it. And that April wanted to do it and she hated it...I thought that was perfect.

This was great. I loved it. It was the best birthday present anyone gave me this year.

I love that you drunk-commented on my fic. As far as I know, no one else has done that. But I love that you did and that you thought it was a great birthday present. I think you're just great, one of my favorite people in the fandom, so I'm pleased you loved it.

This is adorable. It ties in great with that Ron quote about Leslie and Ben taking leaps into the great unknown.

[stillscape]

Yes, this.

Also, skydiving is awesome, and everyone should do it because it's awesome. Although the hats are really unflattering.

[saucydiva]

Skydiving is the best. Just the absolute best.

[stillscape]

We should go skydiving sometime.

[sullen_aquarian]

I still have no desire to ever sky dive, but I love this story.

[saucydiva]

Thank you for reading!

You know, my last story didn't make you want to read The Hunger Games, this didn't make you want to skydive.... I wonder what I can get you to not want to do next...

[sullen_aquarian]

More things I don't want to do:

1. Eat lima beans
2. Go camping
3. Vote for Mitt Romney

1) So you've skydived, I presume? Cuh-ray-zee.
2) This is lovely.
3) I feel dizzy thinking about this whole thing. I rode in an airplane today myself, and it was fine by me that the doors all stayed shut and I left via the Jetway like a normal human.
4) Leslie would love skydiving, I think, yes? Yes. What do you think? I'm thinking yes. But I've never gone skydiving and never will. So you would know better than I would. Would she love it?
5) This is lovely. Did I mention that?

[saucydiva]

Yes, I've been skydiving, and it was awesome. Would Leslie love it? I think so. But I also don't think it would occur to her to go do it, necessarily. I don't picture her seeking out thrills that way. But if Ann said it was the thing they had to do for their 40th birthdays or something? She'd love it.

Ha ha! April's not so badass after all.

Have you been skydiving? The descriptions were so awesome, seemed like you must have some personal experience.

[saucydiva]

April is secretly a marshmallow inside. And yes, I have. And it was so awesome I went twice.
