panic! at the disco.
paramore.
cobra starship.
the classic crime.

boys like girls.

What type of curls are those? Soft curls, big curls?

Yes..my hair is big and poofy..do I tell the lady to feather it? etc

Do you think i can get it in a salon and make it that natural and nto make it look..'super' like you can see my hair harden with hair spray and stuff?

Any hair place recommendations so I dont' screw up my hair again?

be honest, that's all i ask.

those are adorable :]
I would go to a salon,
take the pictures with
and tell them that is exactly how you want
your hair styled.
explain that you want it to look natural,
not fake.
also explain that your hair gets poofier
when you straighten it,
so they don't try to.

then let them work their magic :]

What's that? does it do the same thing?

yeah but not only does it tan,
it makes you shimmer.
i have similar lotion
that I used to use
and it worked really well :]

Well, the subject just about says it! How old do you think a person should be before becoming a nanny?

it depends how
responsible,
trustworthy,
and mature you are.

but I'd think that starting
around 17/18 would be a good age.

I think i like one of my guy friends I've had for the past 4 years. We got in a really bad fight before our sophmore year so this last year we had to basically start from scratch, but as the year ended, we were as close as ever. We talk alot on AIM and myspace and i really miss him this summer. our friendship is a bit weird b/c were always picking on each other but I know he means something to me. He's the only boy who has ever been able to make me cry. Last year when we got in that fight i cried so much because I missed him. No boy has ever been able to do that to me. Which makes me confused on how i feel about him. I know dating wouldnt screw up our friendship b/c if we broke up we would still end up being friends in the end like we always do after big fights. My problem is that I can't tell him. I've been rejected I know it hurts and I dont want to subject myself to that. So how do I show him that I like him without blurting it out? I need him to know I like him, I think he likes me too, but I want him to ask me out not the other way around. Please dont tell me to just "get over my fear and ask" because thats not going to work for me. Thank so much!

have a friend ask him who he's into.
or just casually bring it up.
like, 'so who do you like nowadasys?"
or something.
also drop hints by putting little quotes about
liking a best friend in your profile on aim
and on your myspace.

it usually works ;]

hi...if u got muscle on ur arms and shoulders an chest an have no abs couse the fat is hiding it if i run to lose the fat will my arms be the same size couse thatz what i want or will i go skinny on the arms from running thanks...

well i love to run
but I don't think it will make your arms smaller.
but you could lose weight by running
if you eat right as well.

if you want smaller arms & abs
do more excercises other than running.

hope it helps

What is considered an extremely fast heart rate that wouldn't kill you(but any faster would) if you had the heart rate for 2 or so hours?

well I know like 230 and below would be fine
at least for me.
Because I have a fast heart rate, excercising or not.

But yeah, anything in the 300's isn't good.

But it all depends on your age, fitness level, etc.

Your best bet would be to ask a doctor :]

oook..so my boyfriend and i recently broke up.he had been avoiding all my calls and messages, i had no reason why.he finally answered my call and after talking to him for awhile it seemed as if i didn't even know him.so then we decided to call it quits bkuz he was away and yeah, he just wouldn't have any time.liikke a week later i saw him on myspace and i decided to try and talk to him .. i got no response back..i just thought okkk..its whatever.i'm not going to get pissed off about it..but then he deletes my comments and i flip out on him - i feel horrible now but i don't want to call him or talk to him bkuz i'm afraid that he might think that i'm being too clingy and yeah..so i have nooo clue of what to do..do you think you could help me please hun???

he's being a jerk =[
It's alright to still want to talk to him,
and I know how you feel.
I went through this, and still kinda am.
I want to be friends with my ex
for the same reason you do
He means something to you.
You don't want to lose him.
He's like, a aprt of you.
And that's ok.sorry if I sound cliche XD

First, call him up and apologize for flipping out.
Just explain that it hurts you when he ignores you because you don't want it to be this way.

Just casually im him or something.
Like, "Hey Haven't talked to you for awhile. what's up?"

and if he deletes your comments and stuff, who cares.
maybe he just can't see what a great person you really are :]

But just try talking to him,
and maybe invite him to go to the movies or something with you and a group of your friends.

But just give him time.

hope this helps && good luck :]

ubplug it and see what happens.

This summer my boyfriend and I want to go to the beach together. The lake is really disgusting, so don't suggest to go swimming in it. The beach does have a boardwalk and lots of paths to go roller blading, so we plan on doing that. There's a little cafe there, but that's about it.

Any ideas for stuff we could do together? Just the two of us? I wanted to lay in the sun and read together, but I don't want to just do that the whole time.

watch the stars at night :D

have a picnic,
play hide n seek. (childish but cute)
draw in the sand.
take lots of pictures.
go for walks at night.
collect seashells.

hope it helps

and if you don't

summer wondering
what would've happened
had you told him how you feel.

good luck

I know a girl, and she can honestly lick her elbow. She`s shown me and other people how easily she can do it. I`ve always heard this is impossible, should she enter record books or is it somewhat common?

Haha, thanks for the advice! =)

i know a girl who can do that.
it's rare
but not guiness book rare :]

I have always wanted to be an actress or singer. Im not that good at singing but im very very good at acting, im not trying to sound conceited but i am and i have been told that many times before.

Lately i want it so bad i can taste it. Its amazing. The only problem is, I have no idea how to get into acting or how to start out. My mom doesnt really like the buisness because of how some of them end up.

So my main question is:
Should I try? How should I start out? Should I wait till im 18 & on my own ? [[im 13 now]]

ahh you're just like me :D

i want to go into acting lately sooo bad.

i'm waiting till i'm older
A. so i can make my own choices.
B. so i can practice.

like i'm joining drama at my school && stuff.

but that's just me.

talk to your mom about it.
because you can't really do anything
on your own without her permisssion, etc.
until you're 18 =/
hope it helps
