Grasshopper likes to laze about in the warm, new spring sun, whilst those busy-busy ants toil ceaselessly, to and fro, to and fro.
True grasshopper would feel no guilt, for this is merely her nature; grasshopper in human form, however, is consumed by said oppressive emotion.

About Me
- grasshopper
- Grasshopper is, at the moment, still 'under construction' :-) She's trying to learn, and trying to keep a 'beginner's mind' while doing so (hence the moniker). She is also stubborn, willful, headstrong and ornery. She does things her own way. (She's also trying to give up 'being nice'.)
