Ode to nature

30. December 2006

Nature, it’s over between us. Because: a. You are extreme, you were made that way. Too cold, too hot, too wild, too many bugs, rude mice, pronged twigs, thorns, spiky bushes, an assortment of stones, mud, animal poo. b. You are like a pill some people have to take every morning.

Why am I the moon? In the question about my favourite celestial body I chose "Sun". All the points about sleep problems and intuition are true. This fact is a bit scary right now. Anyway, it’s been a long time since I’ve done one of these memes, and it’s thanks to Kimananda’s blog. Is [...]
