I live someplace very cold. Very, very cold. I love warmth; this state of affairs remains unreconciled. I am mama to a wee cat, a part-time pastel artist, a full-time blanket hog, and a devourer of Greek yogurt. I can be reached at followgashin (at) gmail (dot) com.
Gashin (as above) is a Japanese word I found in my youth. As far as I knew then and know now, it means "artistic instinct" -- Google Translate agrees with me, which isn't a terribly good sign.
