we dont need a roomate now. me and harry split a studio filled with bikes and car parts haha. some of the people on this forum can vouch its a "comfy" place haha. actually me and harry have loosely talked about moving over the summer and trying to find a bigger place with a garage smile.gif also aphrodesiac and slipperywhenwet live in the city. over the summer we need to meet up. i am always booked during the school year since i work full time as a tech at VW and i go to an intense school program. Harry works and goes to school full time too so he is a busy guy as well. we need to bbq and chill once school is out!

havent been to any of the meets...I shall go to the one in April though.
