September 27th, 2010 maxlance1 Five. Five in one weekend. I guess maybe one or two for the entire city of Los Angeles would be pretty reasonable, but what does it say that in one weekend I found the OKcupid pages of five different girls I know? For starters, it says that I’m completely addicted to sitting at home and [...]
