Date: December 10th, 2012 10:47 AM Author: Laughsome Beta Temple Double Fault 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.
