One Amazing Thing I’ve Done

Floating on my back under the stars in a quarry.

Teach, Learn, Share

I can teach you to knit and bind books and how to make orange popsicles (it's not that hard, you just put orange juice in the ice cube tray). Also, did you know that if you put baby powder in your hair, you can go for an extra two or three days without it looking disgustingly greasy? You'll thank me for this tip someday...
