This is one of our cats.  Her name is Willow.  Isn’t she cute? Of course, while she’s being so cute and all that, she’s lying directly on my homework and my student loan paperwork, using my Literature book as a … Continue reading →

I broke my No-RPG rule again…

Posted on May 17, 2007 by baudattitude
