Random follow #173 - @jessbovey

Today's random tweeter is a person who tweets in such an honest way that you can't help but be enamored by her.  @jessbovey is a super talented photographer who is based in Wellington and has both a twitter and a Facebook presence.

It takes a certain amount of both dedication and skill to capture the perfect photo.  Sure there are plenty of people who are able to capture the occasional fluke photo that looks amazing but those are very few and far between.  Jess is one of those people who has spent countless hours practicing her craft.  

What I really like above everything else about Jess is the raw passion and energy that she puts into her tweets.  Sometimes the emotional energy she puts out there can be really honest but better a person who is honest with you than one who hides.  I think it is one of the signs of that pure creative streak that runs through her.

Don't worry though its not all honest emotion you'll get with Jess.  She is also a super caring, friendly and conversational person who enjoys a good laugh.  Sharing the odd piece of silliness is something that she enjoys doing as well - 

"I just LOL'd in my pants. We are working out each others porn star names in the office. El Waghorno. Misty Beverley. Awwwww yeah." 

And every creative person needs some fuel to keep the creative juices flowing -->

"Totally obsessed with @WhittakersNZ Coconut Rough #sogood I ate a whole block the other night. I think I should buy bulk? Dairy ran out!"

And this tweet isn't entirely true.  At all - 

"I don't stalk, I investigate."  If you have a look through her timeline you will there are SO many friendly conversations that she has with people every day.  So I suppose there may be a hint of shyness showing through here but my pick is that Jess is a an energetic, outgoing and lovely lady.

So the question really is - whats not to like?  If you want a great conversationalist, a creative photographer, an interesting blogger, someone who is generous and an all round really cool chick --> then Jess is just the ticket.

If you haven't yet I totally recommend that you check out http://jessbovey.com/.  Just like the photos that she takes her website is a total piece of art.

Random follow #168 - @CanadaGoneKiwi

Moving home is one thing.  Moving country is another thing.  Selling your house and shifting your entire family to the other side of the world is really take a gamble.  Well one delightful family from Canada has done just that.  Sarah, her husband and their little man packed up their life in Canada, put pretty much everything they own into a shipping container or two and set sail across the seas.

Auckland is the city that @CanadaGoneKiwi and family have picked to be their home base for now.  I assume they are waiting for their stuff to arrive on the boat so they can get some sort of normal life again.  

How new are they to NZ?  Well this tweet was published on July 4th -

"What?! It's Thursday?! Our first week in NZ is officially through."

Reading through the tweets you find lots of interesting tidbits that we kiwi's just take for granted and don't realize are either special or quite different.

For example - 

"Husband and I have decided: we are only eating fish and chips from now on."

Seriously.  And - 

"We also saw sheep! Just grazing around One Tree Hill, amongst joggers and people pushing strollers. Awesome."

Things that those of us who live here assume to be completely normal.  Maybe they aren't?  Maybe going to the park and sharing a walk with what could potentially be a menu item on your dinner table isn't all that normal?  Who knows...

Anyway.  Even though Sarah and family are from another country they too have the same day to day concerns and thoughts that we do.  Like is there actually anywhere realistically affordable to buy a home in Auckland?  How do you manage a baby with a high temperature?  Whats the best place to buy groceries - the dairy or the supermarket?

One thing that all people need when they move to a new place is friends and advice.  I applaud Sarah for taking the risk of joining twitter and seeing where it takes her.  From what I have seen so far twitter has helped her.  So come one New Zealand - lets continue the trend and help this delightful family who are determined to call here home.

So if you're looking for a completely brand new and fresh perspective on both life and New Zealand then Sarah is just the lady for you to follow.  And I need to say thank you to @wendywings for tipping off twitter that Sarah had arrived and was on twitter.

Random follow #137 - @SaltySaysSo

Alliteration (noun): Use of the same consonant at the beginning of each stressed syllable in a line of verse.

Todays random kiwi tweeter is the queen of alliteration if her twitter name and bio are anything to go by.  She uses the letter S and the letter P with repeated frequency and ease to describe herself.  Lets start with her name - Salty Says So.  And her bio - People, Positivity,Places, Poetry, Painting and Punctuation.  Woah!  Yes that right there is some sort of alliteration.  Welcome to the world of @SaltySaysSo.

Salty is a keen tweeter who also enjoys her television watching.  And what better way is there to converse with the world than by watching a competition tv show and tweeting about it!

Seriously though Salty is a mum. And while she (wisely) doesn't tell us too much about home life but she does occasionally let the world know whats going at home.  Being a mum ain't easy.  And so having a safe forum in which to share some of those frustrations can be really therapeutic.  Don't worry though - this is a no rant zone!

@SaltySaysSo is still down with the cool kids and knows that the great things in life never fade - "Are there any space invader parlours anymore? (I'm guessing that's not what the young people call them) #MotherSonTime #Wellington"

She knows how to make others laugh by first being able to laugh at herself - "Footless tights on a freezing morning may be a mistake, I'm thinking now #FashionFailFrozenFeet"

And this one - "Smiled and waved at a guy who I thought was doing the same to me but it was actually to some hot bird behind me. Reminder to wear my specs"

And she also shares wise advise for life - "Just be nice to those you know and even to those you don't yet. It just makes you a better person if you do, I'm saying #experience"

And from what I know of Salty/Sally is that a good and honest friend is always appreciated.  Friends who are legitimate and who will stick with her through thick and thin.  Cos sometimes life ain't all that grand.  However she is an optimist with a sprinkling of realism and hope.  And its those qualities that make her so endearing.

The last word goes to the lady herself - 

"Its 6.25am on a Sunday and I'm in bed reading House and Garden, drinking coke and contemplating making cheesey toast. Badass.!"

Random follow #88 - @irisshackleton

How we come to follow someone on Twitter can happen in number of ways.  The little suggestion box on the left or someone being tagged in a tweet along with yourself are just two of the ways.  But I think one of the best ways is when we are followed by someone we have never seen around twitter before, check out their timeline and decide to do a follow back.

That is how I came to follow @irisshackelton, and just quietly, it is one the best followbacks I have ever done. Why? Because Anna tweets a lot, both to her own followers and in reply to those she follows.  I have no doubt that a conversation with her IRL would be just as fun as tweeting her is.
For example take a look at these tweets:

"Heads up Akld. Possible intel. New neighbour works as a parking warden. I bet his Christmas parties are quiet #nofriends"

"The more I tweet about my life, the more followers I lose. Hmmm, let me think about that. Nope, not gonna change".

"That - life flash before your eyes - moment when you accidentally swallow a boiled sweet whole".

Anna also has pretty good taste in music, movies and aging Hollywood actresses, well at least I think so. She is my Twitter movie and music twin, another reason why following her back was a great twitter move on my part. Check out this convo between her and I:

"@irisshackelton: Betty White is pure lovability. She says the most terrible things and I'm like, "oh Betty, you're adorable.

@Pammygirl: OMG, I love Betty White!!! She would be the best grandmother, haha!!!

@irisshackelton: I want to adopt her and keep her forever."

But even if her taste in music movies and aging Hollywood actresses isn’t quite your cup of tea, I am sure something she tweets will catch your eye and you will become engaged in a funny or maybe even serious convo and make a new twitter friend in the process.

Whether you choose to follow @irisshackleton is totally up to you, but if you do, I promise it will be a follow you will not regret, and now I’m going to leave the last words to the lady herself:

“Just reading all my conversations. There's some pretty witty twitty action happening here. And you lot aren't bad either.”

Editors note - Thank you to @pammygirl for contributing with this post.  If anyone else wants to write a post recommending a Random Kiwi Tweeter feel free!

Random follow #85 - @realmshark

Loyal is the key lyric in the song of the same name written by Dave Dobbyn.  In the world of professional sports there is very little loyalty that still exits when the powerful lure of money is always on offer.  Athletes shift around the world from team to team looking to make a secure future for themselves financially.

Fans however are a different kettle of fish.  Football fans especially.  It is fans like @realmshark that keep he heart and soul of sports alive.  It doesn't matter the weather, the result or who the opposition is these guys can be found at the stadium, at the pub or in their lounge watching and supporting their team week and in week out.

@realmshark is one of those fans who sticks with their team through thick and thin.  That speaks volumes about the character of the man.  "But what will I find if I read his tweets?" I hear you say....

1. You'll find lots of sport  -->  "Hey folks... Can someone tell me the date of the Allwhites game in November?"
2. You'll find lots of social engagements -->  "Flight to Auckland at 6.30am tomorrow morning... Fishing on the Hauraki and a visit to the casino install. Who's around for a meet up?"
3. You'll find lots of making arrangements to meet up with people and interact in real life -->  " I NEED ONE... Wanna meet at the backbencher??"
4. You'll find RT's from interesting tweeters with a whole range of facts and stories that you may not have otherwise uncovered or just missed  ->  "CCM are slightly understrength, but not enough to put Operation #avoidthespoon in danger of failing. Come on CCM! #aleague #CCMvMH"

As a sideline you'll find in his bio that he works in insurance and plays a fair bit of poker.  That stuff he doesn't tweet about so much.  In my experience people tweet about what is important to them.  For Brendan whats important to him the most are people.  Once again I believe that what we have here is a person who uses twitter but it will never ever replace real life interactions or experiences.  It simply enhances them.

Oh I forgot to mention that he's a really nice guy too.

Random follow #79 - @brig_be

"Home after an overnight trip to Auckland. Exhausted. I am a small town girl!"

Often times there is no better way to talk about someone or describe who they are than by the person being able to do it themselves.  @brig_be is exactly one of those people.  If I can apply the old cliche of "you can't put her in a box" (metaphorically - not literally) then that is certainly the case.

@brig_be is a mum, a runner, a creative sewing person and someone whose smile can light up a room.  She has an infectious enthusiasm for life and is an inspiration of others.  She is open and attentive to the needs of others and goes about living life in her own driven  self determined way.  Not that you could tell this is if you met her in real life because she is sooooo sweet.

Over the last month or so her life (and tweets) were taken over by one thing - the Tarawera Ultra Marathon.    If you look through her tweets from February and March you will be able to get a better understanding of how much emotional time goes into preparation for an event as big as the one she completed.  And now having knocked off what rally was a huge effort in anyone's book (approx 50 miles) @brig_be is looking for what next?

A lot of how she tweets is influenced by both where she grew up: the King Country and where she lives now: Wellington.   Location based tweets are always interesting because they give the reader both a sense of belonging as well as giving them an insiders view to what is happening in that part of the world:

"Very cool to see dolphins in the harbour! Binoculars now on the office shopping list.""

"Washing's on the line, now getting wet.@#*^&%&^ Wellington weather."

"Wellington - loving you today! #wgtnwx"

"I got propositioned by a walking banana on Lambton Quay today. Ah, the sevens!"

As always (and like most of twitter) she has a great outlook on life and sees the cup as being half full with room for possibilities.  She Brigbee isn't afraid to pursue her dreams - "Dream job on @TradeMe: retail at the Gibbston Valley cheese shop in Queenstown. Oh all right, if I have to."  She goes after her dreams and goals at her own pace, in her own way but always with the wise advice of others to guide her.

Did I mention she can cook?  All FABULOUS women can bake!  "Advice please! Baking for fundraising - which baked treat would you most likely shell out for? Tx :)"

If you take the time you can view her blog here - runbrigbee.blogspot.co.nz/.  Hopefully she will add some more content to it as she embarks on her next great goal.  (And I may even get a wee mention in that blog somewhere along the way).  I would like to say that I do have one disappointment and that is having not made the acquaintance of @brig_be sooner.  Be it in real life or on twitter.  But life has a way of ensuring you meet the right people at the right time in the right places.  (And that right there is a whole story in itself).

The last word goes to the lady herself, with a tweet that describes her perfectly in so many ways - 

"Donated plasma this morning. What a treat - lying still for an hour while sipping tea and reading magazines, and doing a wee bit of good :)"

Random follow #71 - @007GAL

"The name is Page, Sara Page"

Social media person, earthquake predictor (sort of) and all round good tweeter. That is what makes @007GAL worth your while following on twitter.

There is no such thing as the perfect tweet but there are some tweeters who are able to string together a series of tweets and make you chuckle and think "I'm glad I follow this person". @007GAL is one of those people.  I wonder if Agent Q signed off on this gadget that Agent  @007GAL recently purchased -

Tweet 1.   "Mad Farmers sale today, super excited about my new peeler though #sad #mustpeeleverything pic.twitter.com/4w6CcjgR0l"

Tweet 2.  "Do I have any veges in my fridge? #mustpeeleverything"

Tweet 3.  "@FarmersNZ I have high hopes for this device, it best not disappoint me haha"

Tweet 4.  "@FarmersNZ True!! I'll post results later #excite"

Telling a story with your tweets is what engages readers and makes you more interesting and fun to follow.  One thing her twitter bio needs is a sign that reads 'No drama'.  Because there isn't any. Simple.  Sara is not a social media superstar if her statistics are anything to go by but twitter is not about quantity.  Its about quality.  And I for one think her tweets ooze quality.

And then I got to thinking.   If @007GAL were a real Bond agent then what would the names of her love interests be?  Here are a few randoms I came up with -

"Gypsy Bare Knuckle Fighter"

"Iron Balls"

"Plenty O'Hair"

"Long John Silver"

Here are some other things I have noticed about Sara - she always has a kind word for everyone.  Her tweets are WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) and she engages with a really wide range of people.  It is nice seeing someone tweet a bunch of different people every day,  Variety is the spice of life and Sara certainly likes to vary her tweets.

And like a few other tweeters I have profiled Sara is neat from the point of view that she tells you what she wants you to know and that is all.  There is a lot to be said for keeping your real life away from what can at times be the big bad world of social media.


And now for that one last great question.  Does she drink martini's?  I have no idea but if she did/does they probably come shaken and not stirred.

Random follow #36 - @jessmeade

There are plenty of ex-pat kiwi's who have made their way (aka escape) from New Zealand and have headed offshore to the UK.  Todays random kiwi tweeter is one of those lucky enough to venture abroad and spend her youth in a foreign country and exploring the world.

@jessmeade set sail from New Zealand a number of years ago on her first OE.  England, Europe, Egypt and a bunch of other places were visited as well.  When her visa expired she returned to New Zealand and it was at that time that I first came into contact with her.  A lively, lovely, energetic young lady with a clear vision of what she wants out of life.

It became apparent quite quickly that New Zealand was too small a place for her at this time.  And so she hatched a plan.  A plan that would see her return to the UK and grow a career in the sports and fitness industry.  In a role that see's her travel to the US at least once a year.

It was upon @jessmeade's return to the UK that she signed up for twitter.  She was originally known as @keweechick but recently switched to her actual name (professional standards now apply - LOL).

To say that she is a prolific tweeter would be lies.  She tweets when she wants but she doesn't waste words.  She cuts to the chase and calls it as it is.  Here are some examples -

"Good thing I hit @FitnessFirstUK this morning with Krispy Kremes doing the rounds this arvo #allinmoderation"

Jess is an active girl who is keen on netball and equestrian.  If you follow her you aren't going to find out anything too amazeballs or ground breaking.  But if you are able to make her a friend you will find someone who is fiercely loyal and will stick with you no matter what.

So there you go.  Follow #36 @jessmeade.  Worth a follow.  Especially if you live in the UK.

Random follow #31 - @jamesotron

Every so often if you follow random people you'll very quickly cross paths with a segment of the community whom you would probably otherwise not have much contact with  With @jamesotron you will discover someone who has a love for all things tech.  If you aren't a part of a particular community it can be easy to get lost in the jargon or terminology that gets used.  However @jamesotron is quite clear that one of his missions is this "I care about making tech culture more inclusive."

And so he doesn't tweet all that much about tech stuff directly.  He tweets just enough to let you know that tech is what he does, loves and is something he knows a lot about.  He does also have a couple of other projects/accounts that he has created and you can find them here @axeio and @sociablenz

One thing he also has is great balance.  Work doesn't dominate his life and he has found some incredible balance in life. Being married to the lovely @becs certainly helps his credibility as well. And when you read tweets like this one you know the guy is a 100% good guy -

"So @becs is sitting next to me watching outrageous fortune, and I can't resist glancing over. It's like seeing old friends again." Aaawwwwwwwwwww. Not only does he tweet about the love of his life he also tweets about his nearest and dearest.  He also tells us a little about his kids -

"Kids switching from The Muppets to The Clone Wars. I guess I should make them breakfast."  and this one as well

"scratch that. my son’s first day of school that day! bad dad!"

And occasionally he tweets something very funny that makes you do a double take as to its meaning,  Take this one for example -

"A military jet just flew over my house. This is significant because in New Zealand we have no military jets."


If you are new to twitter and are wondering "what do I tweet? How do I tweet? What is there to talk about?" then @jamesotron is worth having a look at as an example of how to twee in such a way as to win friends and influence people.

Random follow #23 - @shineprjack

Choosing how you represent yourself on social media can be a little tricky to manage at times.  Some people have one account where they tweet everything and other people separate their accounts so they have one personal and one professional.

Today's random twitter follow has two accounts.  One personal (@ironjack35) and the other professional (@shineprjack).  I have followed Jackie on her @ironjack35  twitter account for some time now.  the other account though is a new one and I have only just started following @shineprjack for a week or so.

This is one of those rare occasions when i can actually tell you something real about today's person.  Jackie is an Ironwoman!  She loves triathlon and sport and she is super organized and efficient.  She is married and is a mum too.

One thing I have noticed is that Jackie is a really encouraging and uplifting person.  She is determined and focused but at the same time she is realistic about what she can and can't achieve at any given time.  Here are a couple of example tweets from her various accounts -

@IronJack35  "The best thing about daytime swim squad in our amazing 50m outdoor pool? An AMAZING tan - which for a redhead is significant!"

@shineprjack  "That moment when you discover that what you have been saying all along, for about 18 months, is in fact best practice. Nice" 

So now you have two options available to you.  Either way you will be making a good choice should you choose to push the follow button.

Random follow #18 - @samarasheppard

It is interesting that many kiwi's head overseas in search of fame, fortune and riches.  And it isn't until they achieve something REALLY big (aka a mainstream win of some sort) that people actually get to hear about those people.

@samarasheppard is exactly one of those people.  I have met Samara a few times over the past few years as she was a resident athlete with the educational institute that I work at.  She is a really lovely lass who is full of grit, determination and commitment to her sport.  She is a very humble young lady who is full of life and also a very smart cookie. 

Her sport being cross country mountain biking doesn't get a lot of coverage in the mainstream media in New Zealand but it is a HUGE sport with tons of opportunities overseas.  Did you know she won a World Cup race in 2012?  No.  Neither did I.  But my aim is to keep up with whats happening in 2013!

@samarasheppard  has a twitter account and a Facebook page through which you can keep up with her travels, exploits and undertakings from around the world but mainly in Europe (from what I understand).  And guess what she has her location based as Wellington (yes - yet another Wellingtonian..... but she is REALLY a Rotorua gal)

You're not going to find out too much by just checking out her twitter account but if you link social media with her website --> http://samarasheppard.com/  <-- then you'll get a pretty good picture of what life is like for a professional elite athlete.

Go hard Samara!

p.s. I hope you don't mind that I 'borrowed' one of your pictures for this blog post Samara!  Let me know if I need to change it or remove it please =)

Random follow #17 - @gloombat

Milly, aka @gloombat gets full marks for figuring out how twitter works and what makes a great tweeter within her first 100 tweets.  In actual fact @gloombat only actually has 104 tweets (at time of posting).

Her tweets are always varied and much like her (I suspect) very eccentric.  What I like is that her tweets aren't all one sided or single topic tweets.  When she tweets @gloombat manages to cover a range of different areas - from the weather to wine and

These are some of my favorite tweets that I have seen -

"UGH! Just noticed skanky lipstick on the rim of my glass AFTER I had finished drinking from it. Excuse me while I vom"

And with tweets like this you know she is a quick learner:

"Only a few minutes ago I did my first hashtag. Ima have me a celebratory beer"  

I'm not going to overstate or bang on about Milly except to say I think she is a great twitter peep who is keeping it real and brings a freshness to the social media realm.  Follow on!

Random follow #16 - @vinonurse

Couples and partners using twitter are really cool to interact with and watch tweet.  There is one couple on twitter now who are really funny to watch interact.  One half of this couple is one of the funniest guys you'll follow on NZ twitter - @kutch007.  Well guess who else is on twitter too now?  His wife!  Nicholle goes by the name of @vinonurse.  And she totally ticks all the boxes for why this blog was started.

She has only a handful of followers, she isn't famous and she is a genuine random kiwi tweeter.  She doesn't have a twitter bio as such but I think this tweet is a very good description of her and her taste "Is drinking vino, happy days!".

What do I enjoy about @vinonurse's tweeting?  The fact that she is able to give her husband so much grief on twitter.  Like funny stuff and jokes and the tweets are really great to watch.  Here is one example -

"@Kutch007 actually it helps me to be able to sit here and listen to you talk sh*t! Haha"

And occasionally, very occasionally @Kutch007 is able to get some of his own back.  Never a full frontal argument but more of a sneaky method of getting his own back.

"My husband @Kutch007 is the bestest!! PS. It's Juro here .... HAHAHA sssshhhh don't tell her"

Its not every day that you find a couple that both use twitter.  There are some great couples who do use twitter and when they do it totally adds to the value that each person contributes.  Not to mention it adds a whole different flavor to the twitter conversation.

If we are to use the language of wine to describe these two tweeters, here are the wine varities I think describe them well -

Aglianico - Considered the "noble varietal of the south," it is primarily grown in Basilicata and Campania. The name is derived from Hellenic, so it is considered a Greek transplant. Thick skinned and spicy, the wines are often both rustic and powerful.

and

Primitivo - A red grape planted found in southern Italy, most notably in Puglia. Primitivo is robust and rustic, with spicy black fruit notes, and thrives in very warm climates, where it can achieve very high alcohol levels.

I'll let you figure out which wine description applies to which tweeter ;)

Random follow #15 - @handsmegan, @nzcows and @angelahogg

Social media is for everyone.  It doesn't matter where you love or what you decide to do for a living.  Social media cuts across all sectors of society.  One area of industry that social media is becoming more and more popular with - is the farming sector.

Mid 2012 I started following a tweeter who goes by the name of @nzcows.  If there was ever a more self explanatory twitter name than that - I have yet to find it.  Colin is a great tweeter and does a really good job of sharing what life is like down on the farm using an interesting lens.  He actively engages in #agchat and has introduced me to some other really great random NZ tweeters.

The person whom @nzcows introduced me to recently is @handsmegan.  Megans twitter bio is quite an appealing one and it certainly gets the brain cells moving.  Here's how it goes at the moment - Practical Environmentalist, Politics geek, Agriculture advocate and proud Rural NZer. And if that bio isn't enough to prove to you that Megan is a farmer through and through, then try this tweet -

"Being up at this hour makes me feel like I should be heading for a cowshed"

@hangsmegan  doesn't just tweet about cows and rural life but she tweets about subjects that she enjoys and finds fun too.  Much like a mixed farm what you'll find is a pleasant mix of tweets with Megan.  And she does tweet - a fair bit.  In a good way of course!

And it wouldn't be fair to do a blog post about farming tweeters if I didn't include another delightful lady of farming - @angelahogg. Angela is a really cool person.Much like Megan she works hard and works hard to keep a good balance in her life.  And as an advanced notice Angela is organizing the inaugural #tweetup with #AgChatNz in Ashburton at a Farming conference of some kind between the 3rd and 5th July, 2013.  See you there?

Editors note - I've never been to Ashburton myself (hint, hint) so if anyone happened to think they'd help me to get there - I wouldn't say no!  LOL.

and Otago in winter :)

Random follow #14 - @katywr and @curlsinmyhair

Today I'm going with two tweeters.  Why two?  Because they are  (best friends).  Not just twitter besties but best friends in real life who have been able to link up through twitter (and Facebook too probably) and continue on their friendship.  Through thick and thin their friendship has stood the test of time and they are still going strong.

So who are these two tweeters?  They would be two very lovely ladies who go by the twitter names @katywr and @curlsinmyhair.

I haven't tried looking to see how often they tweet each other but I'm sure it must be often.  Real friendships can occur online but the depth and need of a friendship that only ever occurs in an online space (I think) doesn't really develop the depth or emotion that being friends in real life does.  And lots of conversations and communication occurs via DM's om twitter.  And I am picking time on the telephone too.

As individuals though I really enjoy seeing their individual timelines when you see tweets like these appear -

"NOT IMPRESSED at #hubby trying to contain laughter, while trying to explain to #missfive why 'Shit' is only an adult word."  That from @katywr.   And this tweet from  @curlsinmyhair -

"4 out of 4 people agree, purple asparagus does not cause "asparagus wee". #strangebuttrue"

So there you go.  Besties use twitter too.  And this is the tweet that tops all other tweets to describe the friendship -

"@Katywr @Pammygirl @HagmanNZ I love my besties like I love chocolate, which is a lot & all the time by the way!"
