Girl Chat
June 26th, 2007
Do you place more importance on sex when it is available or when it isn’t available?

Bullshit Baffles Brains
June 18th, 2007
Memories - like some corners of my mind - are blank … Yep, you guessed it, had a major memory-loss moment, and it was in public.
The one redeeming factor: Another woman, even younger than me, couldn’t find her car either!
