hes my best friends brother.

and hes 21 and im 17.

my friend says shes ok with it but do you think shes just saying that?

we both like each other, should we go for it? (link)
"why not?" i mean, if you both are into eachother, and you have fun togather then why not? today age isnt so much an issue. many men and women are getting married or dating with almost a 10 year age difference. so whats so whats a 4 year difference? you should try it, if things dont work out, you'll know that you tried, but hes not rite for you.

so you might as well give it a shot, if your best friend doesnt mind,... though you never know..."why not?"

Ok well I just started high school and I made some friends and then the newest one i made..she's just so happy and like a kid and everytime i think of her or see her, I just think "I was like that..or atleast I could have been like that now if I didnt' have a bad childhood....even if i was like her now, i wouldn't be as pretty as her.."

And now even though she's my friend, I'm starting to like secretly hate her REALLY bad. This always happens with many friends that I make.

What the hell is wrong with me? Why am i like this? i dont want to be like this but..something like this always happen (link)
the reason this happens , sounds like your envious. mabe thats because you just dont seem to like yourself, and you whant to be more like her, or other friends.

the trueth is you need to like YOU, for who YOU are, and stop comparing yourself to how your friends are like. your problably just as pretty, if not in your own way. you just need to say to yourdelf, that "hay, i can be just a happy, or peppy or as pretty, and i am" you need to know that you are, and show it.

ive been wanting to go and get my hand read or have the tarot cards read to me too but i dont really know how to search for that how do i search that in my area like at yahoo yellow pages or in a yellow pages book? (link)
you need to search for a physic, or fortune teller, or what ever els you want to call it. im pretty sure that typ of "profession" isnt verry common localy, or anywhere, but you could do some typ of search on like google, or google earth or yellowpages.com, or that stuff. i garentee if theres anything at all you find it there (oh like yahoo and stuff)
but like i said, their not that easy to come by, most Physics are hired for investgations and stuff now a days, not many to that kind of "fortune telling" (which if you ask me is just a little bit of a stretch from the trueth(fake)

hpe i help,,

Does anyone know where i can get these boots from? Not online, but a store that i can go to so i can try the boots on to make sure fits.

http://www.theprincess.dk/catalog/images/footware/Boots%20Pink.jpg (link)
well, firt it help to know the brand of the boot, than you will have an idea of which store carry them, i am sure you can find something similar at payless, or famous footwear, heck i bet even MACYs and other top stores. ....
i found, that particular type of fur-lined snow boot is almost retro, and that picture is a Marc by Marc Jacobs' Snow Boot (which is some what expencive,) but like i said, big shoe stores, i and such will have something.

hope i coulb be of help,

we have this book that you can probably buy somewhere, or a book like it. it has lists of most colleges in the u.s and i guess the courses that they have to offer, so you can look for it,

Usually I design my own costumes. I was queen of hearts, alice in wonderland, mimi in rent and elphaba. Now I've ran out of ideas. I'm not really into the whole idea of a costume, but a person or a character from a movie or book. Any ideas? I go out in thrift stores and put things together instead of buying things, so I'll like to get some idea ahead of time.

My house is rather popular on our block so we tend to dress up over the top for that night. (link)
try someing clasic,like sandy from GREASE.or something modern like Pirates of the Caribean.or even try to find someone really funny. from some typ of ofunny movie. or even kate winslet from the greatest movie EVER, the TITANIC,

well those are only a few ideas that i could ramble about hape i helped in any way,

my mom wont let me get my belly button peirced.
im 14 & i want it done.
how cna i get it done w.out her finding out

please&thankyou (link)
ok, from someone pretty much your age...you too young. i mean my cousin and my sis got their belly buttons piercerd but like not untill over 16. so make a comprimise with your mom. make it a sweet sixteen gift or somethin, or promise if you get it, you wont ever get a tattoo. from family experiance though, this is something you SERiously want to think about. sure it looks kool, but for how long? piercing your belly hurts like s-hell.WAY more than an ear. not to mention, you have to bandage it all the time, and clean it ALL the time, just to keep if from getting infected. and thats not easy. after a while it just isnt as great anymore,anyway, it can get caught on clothing and stuf(depending on the typ of piercing(some have charms and stuff)so soon youl end up taking it out now end then,....more often...until you just decide to give up.

so,all this has over a like a 70 percent chance of happening mostl like ly(except for the thing involving clothing and stuff, thats more like a a false extension...idk.

BUT seriouly ALL i suggest,is to think it over....and wait a year or too, make sure its something you really want. if you absolutly must have it, then im sure your mom will compromise.good luck.

difference between english and american budgerigar? what if you put the two together? (link)
this isnt an answer, i just want to know what budgeriger is?


So I'm reading Frankenstein for summer reading and I have to choose an essay topic. The one I am interested in is: "...choose a minor character.." well for me, I think it would me easier to choose 3 minor characters, one for each body paragraph, so I wouldn't write a lot about nothing. Do you think I can do that? It never says I can't...
Any suggestions from someone who has read it?
About to enter English 3 academic. (link)
well, teachers often whant you to be creative. that sound like a really good idea, however, he/she will expect a more advanced paper if you choose to change the paper a little, go off the original topic,but will generally applaud the effort,creativitie,and stuff. a lot of nothing wouldnt be a great idea though, so maybe make sure you can back everthing up with sopporting facts and example for each character and you could have an awesome paper, therefor i say go for it.

hope i help,

(need any other davice, check out my page, or ask me)


16/F

Hi, I live in Erie PA and I have my whole life. The company my dad works for is currently going down the tubes, and he said there is a chance we're going to have to move sometime soon. I'm really nervous and sad about that, all my friends are here and this place is all I've ever known. Has anybody ever gone through this and has some vaild advice for me? And also, if you live near or have been to Soddy-Daisy Tennesse, whats it like? That's probably where I'll be going. (link)
well, i have move a couple times in my life, most involving my fathers job, and to other states each time, so i know what your going through.first of all, it is always tough, and a little embarrasing being the new kid,and i takes sometime getting used to. but know that your friends are only a phone call away.it helps to try to go for lots of after school program, or any other activity to meet people, that way you dont fell like an outsider,which you probably will, for a short time.

i have never traveled to tennese however i have traveled through bordering states and other further west states, so i assume it will not be all that much different from pensilvania,it mat seem more rural in places,but generally the same.(i think)
But the point is, that you may not even know the difference between pensilvania and tenessee and will adjust easily.(to the geography i mean)...(if you move there)

i wish you the best from someone who's been there,...

Anyone know how many cruches where ment to do a day ?

and how can i get thinner thighs
(dont sAY GO BIKE RIDING PLEASE!)
and no pilates (link)
well, my sis, who was in the army, told me it varries for girls and boys and age, girls generally about 50 a day ,(doesnt mean all at once) and guys generally 100. but than can varry with age, so like a teenager like 15 and up chould do about between 50 to 100. generally in that area.
and certian excersise would help with your thighs. also stairs, even swimming, besause of the kicking and stuff and probably D.D.R(dance dance revolution) which is and fun too,and alot of these are cario which is even more claories burnned.

(but hay, what do i know, im only going on 14)



I want to make it so that you only see maybe two of my comments that people leave me, instead of the whole 50 comments, or like... a scroll of it.
I've seen other people have that, how can i do it?
Thanks (link)
i think it is just that they delete old comments,in the comment section, when you edit prfile, at the top, next to groups.


okay, well every day during this summer i have babysat 9:00am-5:00pm. i babysit my brother(8) and my sister(3) omg, i just don't know how to handle them. its really stressing me out, and when i get stresed out i yell, alot. i don't mean to but it just sorta happens. like my brother and sister fight alot and they are just at eachother ALL THE TIME! like today my sisiter was standing in front of the refrigerator trying to gte yogurt and then my brother came over and shut the door on her and he was like well she had the door all the way open and i was like SO WHAT?! and she was crying and i didnt know what to do then he spilled this blue yogurt thing and refused to pick it up and so i hit him with a towel. :p and i was just like wow, brat. and he started crying and was like i'm telling mom you broke a bowl and ure being mean to us and hitting us with stuff. and i was like, DO YOU EVEN SEE WHAT YOUR DOING?!? and ughh i just dont know what to do, i tell my mom i want to stop but she doesnt even consider it. and i really wanna just have fun when i go into school, and not be stresed out. i dont really have a specific question to ask but like idk what do i do they are sooo frusturating and refuse to do anything and think i'm only there to wait on them hand& foot. (link)
you see the thing with kids is that you have to keep them under controll. and happy and out of the way.first off, hitting doesnt work well. name calling is just stooping to their level.

FIRST, try to tire them out, if you play out door games all day, or something, they will be so tired, they will slepp early.

NEXT, keep them separated as much as possible, so they cant fight.
also,do relaxing stuff, like watch movies, and t.v

ALSO,kids LOVE REWARDS>toys,candy, whatever. you give them rewards and junk for all the good stuff, and yell at them for the bad. they will be good just to get the reward, make it into a game.

i am sure that they will each like doing their own things too, let your sister play dressup and stuff, and let your brother ...do... what ever it is the he does.

hope i can help, but i probably know less than you,seeing how i am only going on 14, but good luck, and hay....worst comes to worst....find a dat care ore summer camp for next year.

oh god i hate this so much im going into high school soon and none of my friends are there. and summer school was stupid because i dont fit in with these ppl. it took me so long to make friends that actually care about me and i have better friendships than most ppl can have in their whole life. but i have no one to help me because now i feel like every girl is really girly and im not. they make me feel like a guy. and i dont know but im starting to want to dress like a guy and not like a tomboy but like i just hate being a girl. i just dont get it i hate this school and i want my friends back and i still want to transfer schools for like next year even though people say it will get better. i dont want to change i like my life fine the way it is. i just want my best friend back. hes the only one who understands me and i love him so much... (link)
you shouldnt have to fit in, be who ever you want to be. alot of guys like tomboy girls, the feel closer, and who knows, once you get alot of guy friends, alot of girls might get jelous, now isnt that better.pissing off alot of pretty little diva girls.


I'm looking for socially conscious shirts that features designs on global warming, darfur, war, gay marriage, poverty, etc.

Anything will be appreciated! Thank you :D (link)
a brilliant idea. heres what you do, saves money too.
buy some plain t-shirts.
find some pictures you want, and print out onto photo type paper.
then just iron it onto the shirt.
(i am not exactly sure how exactly to iron it and stuff, but i am pretty sure thats what you do.

(i did that once,. like girl scout badges,...they dont use thread anymore...i wonder why?


anyway, hope i help,... i think its a pretty cool idea...

MissMegLoL here :)

I'd really like to cut my hair to start off the new school year. For the cut I had in mind, I'd like my hair to be a little longer, but I can make do with what I have. I was thinking of a "scene" type of haircut, I'm not what you'd call "scene" but I really like their hairstyles. So I basically want it really layered, and a straight style. Could anyone get me pictures of hairstyles that I could show my hairdresser so she gives me the style I want? Thanks in advance!

Also, if you have any ideas for any different styles you think might look good, I'd love to hear them. :) (link)
here is a great website with celebrities and their awesome hairstyles, try browsing through there for some pics,

Hey, does anybody know a good site/program where i can download movies and put them on a dvd where i can watch in my actual dvd player? A good quality program/site with a selection to choose from. If not transferable to a dvd, then just where i can watch movies on my computer. I tried peekvid, but the videos never load. Any help?
Thank you very much (link)
i just resently found a site with LOADS of movies, i bet some are illegal because they are still in thearters, like the simpsons movie, but ithey are probably downloaded from asia and russia, where things come out months earlier. most have really good picture quality. i only started watching one, but it was good, i dont think you can burn a dvd from it but you can try.
