about

My name is Laura and I'm 28 years old. I live in Illinois and work as a licensed veterinary technician. I am a runner, bookworm and obviously, an animal lover.


I've been on this site since '05. I take hiatuses, but I'm never gone for good. I enjoy giving advice and I've made such lovely friends on this site that I couldn't imagine giving it up!

ps. here's my bestestestest friend.
I love him. You will too :)

Whats the song at the beginning of America's Next Top Model?

The theme song?
I read that it hasn't been released yet, but it's by Tyra Banks & Darkchild.

the band named hellogoodbye, was it named after the beatles song called "hello goodbye"?

I actually read recently that the name is quote,
"Somewhat from the Beattles song, and somewhat from the fact that life goes by too quickly."
But I've also read it was inspired by a line from the show, Saved by the Bell. It might actually just be a combination of all three though =]

I have never gave blood before but I want to start because you can get money for it. Does it hurt? And my one friend said you could rub like bengay on the spot all day before you donate and it wont hurt at all is that true?

I think it's great you want to donate blood! But don't only do it for money, do it to help save lives! =] It dosen't hurt that bad to have blood taken. I was really sick somewhat recently and had to have blood taken for the first time. On a scale of 1-10, I'd say it was about a 4.5-5.
Good Luck!

I want to buy bracelets and necklaces for the new school year.
Can someone give me examples of stores that sell cute and not too expensive jewelry?

Forever 21 is my favorite.
Charlotte Russe, H&M, Claire's, Icing, and American Eagle are all great, too!

I second the ebay suggestion.
Though make sure you buy a newer one, because we have one of the first 360's and it sucks.
Good Luck!

I want to create a site where I can write blogs and add quotes. Similar to Xanga, but something different.

Any sites in mind?
Thanks!

Blogspot! I just recently got into this site, and it's really cool.
Here's mine if you want to see how it works:

okay, i normally don't ask questions like these.
but its about my hair, it currently looks like this:
http://a358.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/91/m_20aa065e30707fde2debe589e8119a5d.jpg
its a little past my shoulder.
i really want hair like that girl in the Paramore video. :
http://s90.photobucket.com/albums/k253/cmaewatson/?action=view¤t=hair-1.jpg
but instead of red and blonde, i kind of want the reddish to be a medium brownish and a purple or black for the blonde.

what do you guys think? i want the haircutt in that as well.

Well you didn't send the best picture, but I think that haircut would look very nice on you =]
Colorwise, I like your hair color now. If you decide to change it, go darker. I'd say a dark brown or like you said, black.
Good Luck!

im trying out for the girls' feshman cross country team in august. ive been running/walking about 3 miles every day(skip a day every now and then), so is that enough to prepare me so that i will probably make the team?

3 miles everyday will definently get you in shape, which will help prepare you for the team. So I'd say yes, it will/is helping a lot.
You can also probably do every other day, because you don't want to overdue it =]

there is this boy that i really like hes gonna be a junior im gonna be a freshmen. my friends think hes too old. do u?

jaclyn

o by the way i found out he told his friends he likes me!
what should i do?

I don't think it's too old. My friend is in this exact situation, only the guy's gonig to be a senior! If you really, truely likke each other, I say go for it!
Ask him if he's interested in you, and let him know that you're interested, too. Then suggest hanging out sometimes, maybe to go see a movie or something? Good Luck! =]

last week this kid that i just met two weeks ago confessed he likes me but he has a girlfriend and i don't like him. i told him i don't like him and i wouldn't go out with him even if he didn't have a girlfriend. he always messages me on aim and he's called my phone twice. now he always visits me at work and always try to talk to me. he'll even interrupt other people talking to me just so he can talk to me.he wants to hang out just us "as friends" and i told him i'd think about it...but i won't do it. it's driving me nuts. i need him to back off. i need to say something to him thats subtle but to the point. i don't want to be too harsh and say "get away you creepy stalker" but something along those lines.

PLEASE HELP ME IM GOING CRAZY!!

This is kind of a hard situation, since you want him to back off, but you don't want t ohurt his feelings. I would talk to him, calmly, face to face. Explain to him that you need your space and that he's smothering you. Explain to him that you're not interested in a relationship, but maybe a friendship. But tell him that this friendship would only work out if he gave you some breathing room. Let him know that YOU will come to HIM when you're ready for a friendship. Also, tell him that calling you and im'ing you are just making your want for a friendship with him fade away. Tell him you want a friend who isn't so clingy, and more independent. Good Luck!

Go to iTunes and click:

i know wrong category sorry but..

i am having my 13th b-day party and i
decided to go either ice skating or roller blading...can someone help me find a ice skating or roller blading place in charlotte, NC'

thanks :)

Thanks for asking to my inbox, but I live nowhere near NC, sorry =[
You've also asked this to the pool already, so hopefully somebody else can help you!
Or try Google.

-Laura. (15-f)

EDIT.
I'm sorry that you did not like my advice..I really am. I just live on the other side of the country and wouldn't know the first thing about NC. Again, I'm sorry you think I "don't rock". It's fine you feel that way, everyone's entitled to their opinions, but next time I'd suggest you rate for effort =]
Good Luck on your birthday party!

1.are uggs still in style?
if so i saw some off brand ones at charlotte russe for 20 bucks.. and i wanted to get them
just because ive been lookin for them for awhile.. anyway
2.im not poor i just wanna get a pair of boots like that style but dont wanna pay like 100 bucks for them. do you think people would think im like poor or something because i got imitation uggs? oh and im black too i dont wanna look like a poser :/

1. I still see people wearing them and I wear them once in a while myself. I'd say sure.
2. There is nothing wrong with buying imitation uggs. They look exactly the same =] People wouldn't think you're poor or anything. Don't worry, it's perfectly acceptable and reasonable to not want to spend 100 dollars on real ones!

Hey. I just got Miley Cyrus's fan address off of mileycyrus.com but on the sample envelope they show, it says via airmail. Am I supposed to put that on my envelope to? ♥

No. It just means you're sending it via air rather than internet.

^So basically, I love that.
And I was wondering how I could wear it to school without making it look too fancy?
Maybe like a thing white zipper jacket? or something...
itd look weird with jeans right? I'm not sure how long it is...

Wear it with skinny jeans and flats!
I think it would look adorable and I'd wear it =]
Or you can try leggings? I'm not sure how long the dress is though.
