I Puffy Heart Stick Figures

I love stick figures. There is something about a stick figure that makes us all even, all aware of our surrounding.

Smack Down: Tornadoes vs. Earthquakes

***UPDATE! Sarah has a rebuttal. When you’re done here, go read her reasons why earthquakes win. Pssh, right.***

We were talking about being startled and [...]
