my parents, each for her/his own reason, were quite successful in destroying any nascent hopes (illusions?) I *might* have (successfully?) nurtured had I had less - cruel? destructive? jealous (my *goddess*, what the *fuck* kind of person is jealous of a fucking three-year-old???)
Dad punctured the bubbles, smashed the hopes and dreams with his 'truth' stick, his penchant for harsh, cold, cruel reality; and ø? just looked the other way.
Buh-BYE, don't let the door hit y'all in the backside ON YOUR WAY OUT.

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'.)
