Hi. My name is prairiesky, and I’m a feminist.
I realize that all of you are like, “Uh, prairie? We knew that. This isn’t news.” I see that now. And you can all just be quiet and listen to my rant.

Since this was the best part of those books...
I'm really not sure how "spontaneous" came to be a part of this, but we're going with it 'cause... look at how big and fluffy he is! *grin*

Hockey, and Canada

"In the plan of the Great Dance, plans without number interlock, and each movement becomes in its season the breaking into flower of the whole design to which all else had been directed. Thus each is equally at the centre and none are there by being equals, but some by giving place and some by receiving it, the small things by their smallness and ( Read more... ) -
Am I supposed to be taking this seriously?
