What if I am 25?

Wednesday, March 29th, 2006

This year I am signing up for the World’s Greates Shave - a great Australian fund raising event to gather donations for Leukemia research and support.

Quoth the server, [...]

Tuesday, February 8th, 2005

So in an effort to reorganise my life, I have begun cataloging all of the things I tend to forget [...]
