Quit quitting?

Pretend it is rice and you are soy sauce and stick to it!

Pretend you know what you're doing. Pretend you're authorized. Dress up a bit.
Hell, if you can succeed at all that, you're better off than most of us, and could be an actor.

Be a driving force in the war for feminism. After that, pray to be reincarnated as a sea-ribbon eel or various type of snails, land mollusks or rainforest frog. YAY! The best of both worlds!

now that I think about it, you'd be pretty cute as a land mollusk. You should work on this.

There was wisdom handed to me from my seniors, and that wisdom is, "did you look in your other pair of pants?"
This has held true for me when I lost things.
However, in your case, unless you have deep pockets, look in the couch, behind your desk, or under that pile over there.
I also recommend you turn off the TV and read a book or play bocceball or weave a basket or learn Korean or something constructive.

John Nash thought he was seeing Communists around every corner, too, only he was brilliant.

Paranoia lies in the eye of the beholder...

It's A religion, but I wouldn't call christianity (esp. the old testament) THE religion or even a GOOD religion. Seriously. You know as well as I that the old-school jews were a bunch of woman-possessing, raping, hateful, warring, slave-coveting crazies. the New Testament gets better with Jesus, but people tend to wreck that too--killing, hating, raping and maiming in the name of Jesus, who would never condone such outlandish behavior.
do NOT feel pressured to accept a set of beliefs you don't agree with just because you're told it's THE religion. Be UNreligious, be true to your heart and what you feel God wants for you. God is not in a book or a set of laws that are hateful and disgusting. God is in love and respect, especially self-respect. Cast off all that crap, and when you do, you will realize how much better you feel without the restraint. You will have God beating through your bloodstream and tingling in your fingers, I guarantee it.
To blindly accept what you are told is not faith. It is blindness.

well, on SNL once (Celebrity Jeopardy), Sean Connery asked for "The Penis Mightier". (the pen...is...mightier...heh heh.. heh.)
*cough*
Well, it was funny at the time.

I am Nowhere Near Kansas.
And as an art major, I am required to comment that purplish blue is known as Blue-Violet or Indigo. (blue-violet for pigment...Indigo for light spectrum.)

I'd like to make a comment about periods. There's a distinct lack of them in your question.
Clitoris, love... it's all about the clitoris!
Can't find the clitoris? Then you're no worse off than 96% of the male race. Find an anatomy book and follow the roadmap to success.

You know, it takes two to tango, and it sounds like I heard some cha-cha-cha in that little story. He's just as "guilty" as you. If you're not otherwise sexually committed to someone, there isn't any problem with what you did. Tell whomever you want, why not? I'd say, brag before he does. Be a man.

Well obviously sometimes you like him and sometimes you only like him as a friend.
Are you confusing love with like, like?
Why don't you think you can feel both?
maybe it's PMS.

Like, you need to sort out your likes and like, dislikes.

Ah, but you just did.

What a weird relationship. It sounds like you two need some time to get to develop personalities before you try to depend on someone else for entertainment. You can be quiet all you damn well please. If he likes you enough, he can handle a quiet girl.
Doesn't he have any hobbies?
Why is he pestering you?
Read some old Brothers Grimm stories about the silent princess that princes tried to make laugh or speak, yet she remained silent until her True love came.

Firstly, Shame INDEED to you for having unprotected sex! Don't you know, that's how humans are made! Naughty!
I don't know how old you are but I sure hope it's over 15. Good gods.
Firstly, check yourself for typical patterns of normal health caused by hormones. I tend to break out 2 weeks after and a few days just before my period. I get PMS the week before and have terrible mood swings. Also I cramp during ovulation, but I'm told this is pretty rare. Try to think of your body's natural rhythms and remember if you've seen any.
Over-the-counter pregnancy tests are available everywhere (Wal-Mart, CVS Pharmacy... etc) for about $7-15. If you can't stand to get one, get your boyfriend to go get it, because if the worst should be true then this is at least half his fault.
Once more, what were you thinking, not using a condom? Don't EVER let someone talk you into unprotected sex. Bad. Bad. Bad.

The only way to be sure you ARE pregnant is if you completely skip two periods, but that's a rather long time to wait. I'd like to point out that morning sickness won't even show up until 3 or 4 months into the pregnancy. You can probably look in the phone book under women's health or abortion clinics. There are several sites online that will give assistance to people with unwanted pregnancies so dig around online.
Abortions take a couple days to get over (pain and all that) so you're going to be puttering around for a weekend if you have to get it done. I would wait a week and see if your period does show up on its own. Depending on how stressed you are or how regular your period is, it could just be lazy. Cinnamon is known to stir the blood and coax out a reluctant period. If you feel like it, carry around a garnet or moonstone; both stones are sympathetic with women's energies and garnet cares for the bloodstream.

Most of all don't freak out until a week after your period should be there. Get a test kit, and do what you have to.

Don't let it run its mouth at you. Remember YOU own your hair, YOU grew it, and YOU can hack it off at the roots if it shows you any nasty lip. That said, Yes use bleach, and For gods sake don't use Manic Panic unless it's just a weekend bluing. Nothing will stick to untreated/unbleached hair unless you process it first. You could dye it blonde or just bleach it straight out. I recommend finding a Sally's Beauty Supply near you or some other small salon-supply store. They usually carry bleaches and dyes. I find Special Effects and Punky Professional work the best for my hairs. Punky Professional has the added perks of smelling like various fruit flavors. Nice.

Not only normal, but some folk find it an object of ritual worship and organize many festivals around the Haireein Assius.

You may also be a chosen disciple of St. Furribut. Are you Catholic? Sweet, your own patron saint.

He's not a minister, he is an evil goblin of Satan. Next time he calls you, act all innocent, then read aloud the bible verse about Sodom and Gomorrah. Next time you see him, follow these steps:
1. Step back a few steps. Have with you holy water, a cross, some fennelseed, a red ribbon, and an anti-aircraft missle (backup).
2. Shout, "Agent of Satan, remove thy foul presence from this place, which I deem consecrated in the name of the Lord! Thy powers are removed!"
3. Throw the water, cross, and various highpowered ammunition at him until he is dead. sprinkle the fennelseed on his corpse (or what is left of it) and tie the red ribbon around his neck or arm, whichever is more concrete at the time. Aww, a christmas present.
4. Relax and remember you are going to heaven.

Conversely, throw rocks through his windows or head.

Midol Cramp. Take one, wait 30 minutes without puking and screaming, and if it's still there, take another. Don't take more than 2. All it is is Ibuprofin, a muscle-pain drug, plus caffeine. However I seem to have developed a religious dependance on it--Midol Cramp WORKS!! Yes it DOES!!--and half the effectiveness is your belief. Heheh. If you find yourself screaming on the floor bleeding and puking and fevering, take Pepto-Bismol and don't move.

try not to take more than 400-500 mg of ibuprofin at once. You DO like your liver, don't you?

1. Stop thinking.

2. Try rug hooking. It's a soothing, creative and pretty much non-destructive way to expell any sexual frustration.

3. There's always Palmela Handerson.

People have been coming to me for advice so long, I might as well do this all in one spot. I watch a lot of unfathomable Japanese TV and drink a lot of coffee. I'm a freshly-hatched Illustration major, formerly trapped & dying in the American South, now busily teaching phrases to all of Nagoya Japan. I'm always on the lookout for more video games and sushi.
I have lots of interesting pets. Wanna see my beetle?
