I only just thought to check the events. I'll be sure to keep an eye out for anything coming up

I just moved to tustin orange county

here is my handlebar I'm using a strong hair wax for it at the moment but it's not enough to keep it curled or even in shape without needing to constantly prop it up throughout the day/night

where do you get the dry cleaning fluid from? I was never able to find it in australian supermarkets or chemists but haven't even thought of looking since i moved

I'm not sure about the sloppy dress standards but to me it seems winter brings out the better clothes in the otherwise sloppy masses. having more layers means having more to match and naturally a little more thought goes into the overall outfit...

I just switched to fountain pens. I'm also young (23) and people tend to double take when I stop texting on my PDA and make a note with a fountain pen. one of my friends even remarked "it's surreal watching you write down an email address with a fountain pen" I also love history and...
