12/01/11--08:39: The Girl Who Made Me Dance (chan 1549395)

I’ve always thought that the key to dancing was not necessarily to know what you’re doing, but to look like you believe you do. Or, better yet, to look like you simply don’t give a shit. There are a few people out … Continue reading →

12/15/11--23:42: Your Awful Story Olympics X (chan 1549395)

01/04/12--23:18: Men: Stop Paying For First Dates (chan 1549395)
