Words of Wisdom
new and/or improved!
yes, well... some people have complained that my webpage has too much reading on it (hey, we can't all be editors), so i've made another page to list all of the happy things that i think people need to hear. and, because i am a goddess, i've blocked off the new stuff (which gets changed when i get inspired). smooches!
hey look! i've actually organized the damn things! not that anyone cares but me, but still... enjoy!
