quick question	[11 Feb 2007\|12:20am]
[ mood \| hot ] What's a single girl with good manners have to do to get a date in the hood? Everyone is either a pervert, scary, mama's boy, what have you.I'm not asking to be wined and dined. Just something simple, even if it's going to an arcade.and the guys at the bars around here are either married, with someone, cheating, or divorced with kids. and if a single guy is at the bar, there's always something under his sleeve.

[ mood \| energetic ] Potomac Mills Shopping Etiquette1. Use Deodorant. $1.29 at Walmart (located next to Potomac Mills)2. Leave the kids at home. Yes, leave them with a sitter. Leave them with grandma. Leave this with the weird kid down the street. Don't bring your snotty nosed kids with germs to the mall. They can see Santa during the week when it's not crowded. Be considerate of others. 3. Have money/cash/check ready before you get to the register. Don't chit chat, this is not the time to make friends.Please feel free to add to this list.
