I'm a new christian for like 2 1/2 months now, and i need/want a new book to read that talks about god and how to become more like him, do you have any good books i could read? i'm 24, female by the way. thanks. jennifer (link)
Congradulations!!! I'm so happy for you. Ok so first of all I dont think that you can become more like God but the best thing you can do is just obey him. Let me start off with my favorite "The Bible," "Jesus the greatest of all," or even "90 minutes in heaven a true story of death and life." If you want more then you can go to Christianbook.com.


If a guy is overly complimenting you, more so than with other people (girls in peticular) and kind of nervous about it, does that generally mean that the dude likes you? (link)
It could potentially mean that he is intrested in you, and it shows that he is more careful and really thinks about what he is going to say to you to get you to like him back. So I think that yeah, he most likely has a thing for you :]
Have funn

this guy i like, well the other day he was flirting with me and yesterday i found out him and his girlfriend broke up. I dont know why....i know what i want to think why they did but that dont make it true...ha ha....but anyways today he was sitting a table away from me and was all drowsy looking and i said "cj whats wrong with you?" and he said "nothing" and i said "are you sure? your bringing me down!" and he started talking and was all quiet and i said "i did not hear a single word you said." and he was like "good you werent supposed to" and smiled at me and i smiled back but my question what could this mean?? (link)
He is problay still really sad about his girlfriend. You should give him some time to get over it. When he is finally over it then you should invite him to go out for pizza and a movie with a friend or two. Then treat him like anyother friend and after you have known him for a while you can treat him alot more like a best friend and then you never know you might fall out of love with him or you could fall more in love with him and he might fall in love with you. Here are some tips on how to get a boy to like you:

Establish a basic friendship with the boy you like. Socialize with him often and become at least noticed
Think about how to approach him- timing is everything. Ask his friends if they (including the boy you like) are going somewhere close like a park or movie. Then make sure you are there. Try taking a friend or two with you.
Be confident and avoid stuttering.
Flirt solely with the boy you like. Say hello to him every day!
BE yourself!
Take advantage of any opportunity to spend time with him- try to sit next to him in classes where you can choose your seat.
See how popular he is. Usually if you are at the same amount of popularity, the boy will go out with you no problem.
Impress him by wearing clothes that make you feel good about your self and look good on your body. Confidence is everything. BUT NOT BELLY SHIRTS. You don't have to wear abercrombie, hollister, or any fancy "brand-name" store. Shop were you feel comfortable and don't dress a certain JUST to attract a guys attention. Just make sure you look nice and presentable, not like a dirt-bag.
Beware of other girls moving in on your boy- if you know the girl, this is perfect because you can chat during or after she's flirting and compromise who gets him. Plus he will see you talking to her and assume you like him.
Be patient and polite. If a boy likes you back he will probably try to talk to you eventually.
Just be yourself! It will be no fun dating a boy while you storm up an act each second, and no one likes a liar.
Move on as a last resort. Don't try to change what you wear or what you do if the boy doesn't like you for who you are.
Become friends with his friends. He will for sure ask
them before going out with you.
If you wanna go out with him try a double date and bring up casually where you and you friend and friends date will be and say if he wants to come he can.
If you really like this boy, once he asks you out, don't write a note that says 'I love u', he'll think you're coming on too fast.



If he is shy, be his friend before asking him out. If you don't he will probably try to avoid you and if he likes you, he'll keep it a secret.
Looks and popularity often begin relationships, but they are not everything. Keep in mind his personality and question why you like this boy and whether you really should.
Making drastic changes to yourself may make the boy more attracted to you, but losing yourself just for a guy isn't worth it. Little changes are fine but you shouldn't become obsessed with a boy if you hardly know him. Keep in mind your values and morals. If this boy truly likes you, he should value your idiosyncratic or unique characteristics.
make sure you like him because he has a good personality not just a hot body or cute face.
don't forget about school and friends so you can hang out with him. make sure to do homework and hang out with friends because you dont want to lose your friend over this .
If he" Hates" you dont hate him back just be nice.All he will want is a friend."2 months after u r his friend then try to make ur move



when asking if he has a girlfriend or about other personal information, do not sound desperate. Ask casually, and only if the subject comes up.
If people ask you if you like him in front of the boy, be prepared to answer. Think about the kind of boy he is, how close you are to him already, and if you have a chance of dating him. Do you want to make it known that you like the boy? Keep these questions in mind while formulating the answer. Try thinking of an answer in advance.Do not cake on makeup just to impress him. He isn't looking for a faker. He wants a natural girl. Again, different guys like different things, do your makeup how you want.



Hey, in 2 months is my junior prom and ive been dating this guy for a year and each year i always think of a cute way to ask him to a dance. but this year i was thinking maybe a scavenger hunt? any other ideas? i ran out of all my good onesss :( Thanks a bunch!! (link)
Decorate his locker with hearts and stars and stuff like that and make one big heart or star and put it in the center saying somthing like "Take me to the prom." Good luck, I hope i helped.


Is "White Houses" by Vanessa Carlton a song where vanessa loses her virginity in a white house over the summer? Thanks! (link)
Yes it is I use to let my little sister (who is 5) listen to it until she started asking me "What does that mean" or "What does this mean" and blah blah blah. Haha so anyway yeah it is.


how old do you have to be in the state of CT to be able to move out of your parents house without there consent? for a guy (link)
Its is 18 years old.


In french class i accidently asked the teacher (in french) if i could drink the toilet when i should have asked if i could go to the washroom and now im SO embarrassed! Everytime i think about it, i really wanan kill myself from the embarrassment. Is there anything i could do that will help me forget about it? (link)
Dont feel bad. I'm going to tell you a story. I take french also and in french I ask the teacher (who is a girl like me) if she wanted to have sex with me haha. But I learned to laugh it off just like you will. Good luck, I hope I cheered you up a bit.


I'm going to the doctor tomorrow for a virginity test. I don't want to break my mom's heart. Is there anyway I can make it seem like I'm a virgin? They are checking physically..any advice? (link)
Dont worry you could of popped your cherry in many diffrent ways like horse back riding or bycicaling and many more.


how would i go about ripping up jeans?

http://pics.livejournal.com/astralday/pic/0001trew

is there any way i can rip them so theyre not in a pattern like strips in the photo but random ones that look like you naturally ripped them or something? short of actually going out to trip on purpose to rip them, of course. (link)
Here a couple of ways too make jeans look distressted.

Buy some cheap blue jeans. Dark blue works very well, but you can get outstanding results with blue jean coloured denim.
Take off the label from the top of the waistband.
Take a plastic bucket, large enough to hold your jeans folded up. Place it on a thick layer of newspaper.
Fill the bucket about 3/4 of the way with water.
Add the bleach according to how much you want (no more than 1-2 cups is necessary).
Put on an apron and some rubber gloves and get going. Bleach a little at a time.
Wet a sponge with thick bleach, and dab the outline of one of the back pockets, making sure the bleach goes on both the pocket and the material next to the pocket. Trace the outline of the pocket, and dab bleach onto the belt loops and any other areas you see fit with your gloved hands or the sponge.
Leave bleach for about 5 minutes (any longer, and you will have some seriously white jeans).
Remove the pocket you outlined, and you should see a stencil mark of a pocket (optional).
Machine wash jeans by themselves.

Buy a pair of comfortable, loose pants, or use a pair that you already have that are cheap.
Prepare to cut them either while wearing them or with them off. It's easier if they are on you, because you can judge measurement easily, but be extra careful to avoid cutting yourself. (Trace out Area you are planning on cutting with a pencil before you cut to avoid making mistakes).
Start with sandpaper (get a piece of the roughest cut you can from dad or your local Walmart/Home Depot) and rub hard across the front of your knees, thighs, and rub the blade of the knife against the lines. For example, if the lines are horizontal, do it vertically (and vice versa).
When you have created a slit, take the pointy end of the knife and rub it against the edges until you see the white strings going in the opposite direction. Keep doing this until you have the desired hole size. Repeat this until you have a good number of holes in the pants.
To cut a knee hole, it's best to sand down the knees the most. They will begin to fray and holes will begin to form. Spread apart the holes within the desired location as far as you want the hole to extend with the tip of a knife, then rub the edges with the knife so that they get fuzzy and messy.
When the jeans are finished, throw them in the water with a little bit of bleach to age them a bit. Then dry them. The washing will also fray the cuts and make them look better. Or you could use a cheese grater, they work amazingly too
Voila! You have just created your own unique ripped jeans - take that, name brands!

Place a block of wood (or some other solid surface that you don't mind possibly damaging) within the pant leg or denim region you want to distress.
Rub a steak knife or cheese grater vertically or horizontally against the area of denim that you would like to distress. Rub gently for mild distress; rub longer and more vigorously to create more visible distress (such as holes and tears).
Do not cut holes with scissors. This creates an unfrayed, and consequentially unstylishly bland hole.
Fray jeans by rubbing sandpaper around pockets, knees, hemlines, or any other area of denim that you would like to have a soft, worn appearance.
Dampen a sponge with bleach and rub it around the outer edges of holes for a faded look.
Tear off a back pocket.
Wash your jeans.
Wear your newly stylish distressed jeans.

Take the nail file and start filing away at one area. Some jean "lint" will come off, and it can get quite annoying. Peel it off the nail file as well as the jeans every couple of seconds. Keep filing until you get the desired size of hole. After a little bit, the white threads will appear. Once this happens, do not file the white threads. This will result in them ripping and then you are left with a complete hole and not a wear mark.
Another great way to make your jeans look distressed without completely ripping them to shreds is to use a cheese grater around areas that show the most wear and tear (knees, behind, around the pockets, etc). Do this with a light hand, or else you might go through the fabric.
Also think about different stains; paint, oil, and bleach work well. Don't go overboard on the stains. This is one area where less is more. Bleach should be neutralized with vinegar or it will continue to eat at the fabric.
Own and wear a regular pair of jeans for a couple years. You'll find that they become distressed naturally, and this way you can out-cool all the trendy kids because your jeans are authentic.
Afraid of ruining your jeans? You can buy jeans that already have small rips, and rub a knife or cheese grater around the edges of the rips until you're satisfied.
Use a dremel tool with a piece of sandpaper to distress seams and edges. Also, you can use sandpaper to get great looks too.
You can also buy them ready made if you have the money.



okay i love this song and i dont no the song title or the artist, please help, here is the first verse and chorus:
check yes juliette are you with me, rain is falling down on the side walk, i wont go untill you come outside, check yes juliette kill the limbo i'll keep tossing rocks at your window, theres no turning back for us tonight, lace up your shoes, heres how we do, RUN BABY RUN!, dont ever look back, they'll tear us apart, if you give them the chance, dont sell(i think) your heart dont say were not ment to be, RUN BABY RUN!, forever we'll be.
okay that is the beginning of the song so if you no it please help! thanks. (link)
Thats my favorite song ever "We are the Kings" by check yes juliette.


so ive had itunes & my ipod on my computer for a few years now. now my sister just got an ipod soo we'll be sharing the library on my comp. im worried about her connecting her ipod to my computer bc ive heard so much about how it screws up being able to put songs on your ipod and stuff. if she does, will it delete the songs from my library/ipod or anything? i manually update mine if it makes a difference.. but yeah, anything bad that can happen? only if you know for sure... basically how can we connect it so it works out? in simple terms lol thanks (link)
My sister and I accidentally got our Itunes connected and it was the worst experience of my life. We had to get this geek squad to come in and get us seperate Itunes libraries, and if you connect with her, the songs she gets WILL go onto your ipod, and vice versa. If I were you I'd make one for her, her OWN. the other way can get messy. Trust mee.
Good luckk


Im considering getting my septum peirced as i will be able to hide it at school and from my dad at weekends and my school during the week. The only reason im considerind the septum is because its easy to hide. i have a few questions on what people think of septum peircings....

(im 13 but look about 15/16) will i look silly with it peirced because im not an adult yet ???

do you think girls with septrum pericings look 'manly' ???


ps. i have my lobes trugus and anti trugus peirced already (link)
You would only look manly with this piercing if you can't pull it off. One of my friend's friend got her septrum pierced and on her it looked a little wierd and manly just because you usually see guys with it, but it's a matter of taste. Although, I agree with the advice below me, you seem a little young to do this, and you should wait until you have decided that this is the right look for you and whatnot.
Good luckk

should i turn down one of my bestfriends that is going to ask me out? (link)
you shouldn't be asking people you dont know thatt
:)
we dont know nothing about you or their lifes, or
friendship. thats something youuu need to ask
yourself!
however if you want additional information, you
can leave me a message or reask this but you
should put in more detail. for example, state the
situations. and pros and cons, why youd say yes,
or why youd turn him/her down. whatever you do,
just make sure it doesnt affect your relationship!
good luck with your decisionnn


i'm doing a project on the first amendment. it has to be 3D and relate to my amendment.

my amendment consists of
freedom of speech
freedom of religion
freedom to petition
freedom of press, etc.
(there is one more i cant think of right now)

i have no idea what 3D object to do and how to go about doing my project, help!! (link)
the other is freedom of expression
like the others below me said, you should do pictures
of rallies/petitions. but then you could
also do, for freedom of religion, someone prac-
ticing their religion, such as a muslim. and also,
for freedom of press, you can make use a newspaper

or just type in "freedom of ___" on yahoo images.
i typed in freedom of speech and this is one i got
which i like:http://www.davidmetraux.com/images/news/cartoon_protests/large/cartoon_protests_montreal_metraux_16.jpg
good luck with your project!
