Date: December 10th, 2012 10:47 AM Author: cyan titillating heaven women don't want to hear about your work unless you're a professional athlete, entertainer, or adventurer of some kind. you just need to sound passionate or driven by something. that could be work, could also be something else.

That is just one story, I have about 52 other weekend stories like this." |
