I need a soulbag…

Since I decided to be a Valkyrie, I made a little research to be sure to be a good one. I Googled “How to be a good Valkyrie”, but most of the suggested links seemed to be about role-playing (which I already know too much about) and videogames (which I couldn’t care less about).

Santa Ana winds and stuff…

I so don’t know how to start this post… I have about 10 thoughts fighting to be layed down. So I guess I’ll start with what inspired my title! Last night a little bird brought me some sweet words directly from California! I had seen USA popping in my stats during the evening, and it…… Continue reading Santa Ana winds and stuff…
