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'.)
