My name is Lyndsey and I'm 17 years old. I live in Lexington, South Carolina. I pride myself on being mature for my age with a good head on my shoulders, but I find I can be snippy when I hear something that just hits a nerve. I have a lot of strong opinions and I have no problem arguing them. I'm a very open-minded person and very tolerant of most things.
Immaturity is a big pet peeve of mine, as is self-centered, narrow-minded, and ignorant people. I can be cruel when it comes to these things, but sometimes certain people need to be told their faults. I know mine and I have no problem being confronted with them. If someone has a problem with me, online or in person, I'd rather they tell me and we can resolve the issue in a mature fashion. I won't tell you want to WANT to hear, just what you NEED to hear.
On a less serious note, I'm a laid back person and I enjoy shopping, the internet, and my favorite TV shows (Queer as Folk, The L Word, Friends, American Idol, Will & Grace, House). I don't have a large group of friends, but the ones I have are close and I love them to death. I generally enjoy life, minus the whole school deal. I'm a junior in high school and I can't wait to move on to college. I am an honors student and I hope to go to the University of South Carolina and then eventually into the medical field, possibly psychology.
If you have any questions or want advice, I'm here for ya, babes.

probably in the wrong category sorry.
how do you make icons and avatars you can submit to iconator? i want to submit a couple. (link)
|
In order to make decent avatars and icons, you'd need Adobe Photoshop or PSP. Those programs cost money...usually a lot of money unless you find it on EBay like I did.
As for the animations, that can be done with programs like ImageReady, which comes with Photoshop.
Making icons takes a lot of practice if you want good ones. You don't just get the program and automatically become a good icon maker.
I used a tutor I found on LiveJournal and I'm still not that great at animations.
As for the backgrounds, those can be found on websites, google, etc. People can get really creative with those.

do you lose calories when you cry? haha weird question (link)
|
You burn calories just sitting at your computer. In fact, you can burn up to 100 in one hour of just sitting there. Calories are burning all day within your body. Any movement at all burns calories.
So the answer to your question is yes. But, does crying burn a SIGNIFICANT amount of calories? No.

i send these messages to my friends and only one replyed. 1st message was "luv you, i'm partying with angie but i'm partying for you cause its your brithday. I love u always" that was to my friend A. and the other was "luv you, im partying with angie" to friend B. Friend B send back saying " R U drunk?" "yes but still luv ya sister" i send. but friend A didnt send back till the next day but send something elus "I'm sleepy!!!!!!" so do you think friend A was freak out by the message or new i was drunk and silly?
just cerious cause they both always send back a good relpy. but friend A didnt. (link)
|
Well I have a friend who likes to send me text messages when she's "partying" and because I basically don't care I don't usually answer.
Plus, it was her birthday and you kind of made a show out of partying with someone else. Maybe you should've been spending time with your alleged friend on her birthday.
Finally, the fact that you texted both of these friends just to tell them you were parting with Angie probably was the reason Friend A didn't respond. It's kind of like the "I'm getting drunk, how cool am I?" thing...and that's not exactly something you'd want to encourage by replying.

Is that authentic?
Because it totally looks real. But it doesn't have the metal heart thing on it. Thanks in advance, please answer ASAP because the auction ends in 1 1/2 hours! (link)
|
Looks authentic to me. I got my Dooney from EBay too and it is definitely real.
Fake Dooneys usually have different letters on them instead of DB. This one has the D and the B overlapped...so I'm pretty sure it's the real thing. Not all of them have the metal heart.

ok well i really like my best friend but he doesnt know and i cant tell him because well i either want things to work out in a bf gf way or just stay best friends. but i cant handle awkwardness around him. like lets say he doesnt like me and then i have to see him every day and yea it would be weird. a long time ago, months ago, i liked him and told him. he couldnt like me because he was going through a gay phase. but hes not gay now. he just wasnt sure at the time. so i know there is a chance he likes me. there are clear signs that he does. but those were also there when he was gay. he led me on and then hurt me. i have no idea why. and to top it all off, my friends are pissed at him because he has a tendency to piss people off. so they are like ditching him and i am like his only friend now. so naturally he treats me soo well. like he is super nice and stuff. what do you guys think? should i drop the whole liking him and just try to be friends?? thanx in advance
JEN (link)
|
Well it sounds to me like you have no real reason to think he likes you. So, unless he gives you a sign that he does, I'd just assume he doesn't. If you like him, tell him and see what he says. If he says no, then just drop it. If he says yes, good for you.
Oh, and this is a little off topic, but you can't be gay and then just NOT be gay. So there's no such thing as "he used to be gay". You're probably very young and young people, mostly girls, like to say ignorant thinks like "I used to be bi, but I just like guys now". That's ridiculous. Experimentation is normal, but you can't CHANGE your sexual preference at the drop of a hat.
I'm not saying he was never into guys. He could've been experimenting with the idea and realized he preferred to be with girls. BUT that doesn't mean he was gay. That means he was trying to find out who he was.

My friend kept it quiet that i was cutting because she loves me, but when it got so bad she told. i completely hate her, is that alright to hate her? now we dont even talk... i stopped cutting, so i guess she stopped my pain.. so i still love her..? (link)
|
I've never been in this sort of situation, so this is just my opinion.
I don't think you really have a logical reason to hate her. You were self harming and that's NOT good no matter what way you look at it.
She's not a bad friend because she told...that's why she's a GOOD friend. The only thing she did wrong was not tell someone sooner.
Self harming is a mental condition that NEEDS to be cured. You can't just ignore it and keep doing it. There's no way you could think it's "okay"...because, after all, you WERE hiding it....so if you know that you should know that you need help.
Your friend probably stuck with you until she realized that you weren't going to do anything about your condition without some help from her.
If you ask me, you should be thanking her.

i don't really notice when i get mosquito bites or any kind of bites, but i think i have a bee sting [first time]. it's on my index finger right below the knuckle. i'm pretty sure that it is NOT a mosquito bite because it hurts, like when you gently touch it. its a pinkish/reddish dot and its like swollen all around it.
sorry that the pic is blurry, my camera's a Vivitar and its kinda sucky. i really need your guys' help.

If it hurts, it's either a bee sting or spider bite. To alleviate the pain, pour some water on the area and put some baking soda on it. It takes the sting away instantly.

so theres this guy who im really good friends with, and we both really like eachother. but his parents hate my guts. they think im a bad influence on him. hes 16 and im 14. (please dont tell me it wont work because of the age.)
they hate me because me and him were aguing about the difference between some inappropriate things, and his sister, whs a total bitch read the IM and told his parents. now im not allowed to chill with him at all, in order to go out we have to sneak around and bend rules all the time and im so tired of it.
what are some good ways to get his parents to let us hang out? id really like some fast tips, cause im going to universal next friday and i really want him to come (link)
|
I sense this will get me a bad rating, but I don't really care.
The only way to GET someone's trust is to EARN it. It sounds to me like you don't care how they feel about you as long as you get to be with this guy.
If you actually like him you'll try to get along with his parents. And in order to do that you'll have to prove it to them that you aren't a bad influence on this guy.
Also, I know he's 2 years older than you, but maybe you should ask yourself if you ARE a bad influence on him. Women (or in your case, girls) tend to have a power over guys, and if you're coercing him into sneaking out of the house and breaking his parents' rules when he wouldn't have before, then maybe you are a bad influence on him.
Sneaking out of the house is plain immature. Other than that, it's really stupid on your part. If his parents caught him sneaking around with you or somehow found out, then that would prove to them that you shouldn't be around their son.
They are his parents. They deserve respect. Once you give them respect, you'll get it back from them. You need to be responsible and figure out a way to prove them wrong instead of proving their point.

So I came into the library one night which i had just left and returned and some people who were my friends were sitting there and some people who werent were there all gathered around so since they were already engaged in a conversation ijust walked in back to where i had been to begin with and one of my friends said hello jessica and it was ina condescending way which is somewhat a part of her personality should i have snapped back at her or should i not pay that any mind. (link)
| |
Just forget it. You know you weren't being rude. They were talking and you didn't want to interrupt. Don't snap back at her, that won't accomplish anything.

This may be long, so bare with me.
Okay. So it's my senior year and I have very acute chronic migraines. I go to a neurologist every 2 weeks to try to control my migraines with medication and I've been doing so since I was 14.(I'm 18 now.) Nothing has helped. My migraines are a hindrance to being able to live a normal life. There are many days when it's so bad that I can't even get out of bed.
So my main problem was the fact that I got really sick and apparently missed too many days to graduate this year. I've never thought I'd have this problem because I have almost a 4.0 gpa. Well now I'm doing an independent study course for the 1 class that I needed to graduate. My main concern is for after I finish my English IV course and I get my diploma.
I don't know if I should try to attend a university or if I should take online courses. I found a university that offers online courses so I can get my associate's degree.
My question is whether doing my college classes online will be better or worse for someone in my situation? If I went to a university, I'd have to worry about when I could see my neurologist because he isn't open past 1 PM and he is the best neuro in my area. Then I'd take the risk of getting really sick again and missing a lot of days. Or I can try online courses and I can do my work when I am able. I'm worried about what my future worry about when I could go to the doctor because employers will think of getting an associate's degree online. (link)
|
It sounds to me like online classes would be best for you. My sister did a semester of college online and it seemed great to me. You get a certain amount of time to do the work, you do it when you get the chance, you have contact with professors and other student, and you have access to your grade at all times.
The only problem I see with it is if you have a problem teaching yourself. That's basically what you'll have to do. No lectures, no professors, etc. If you think you can do that, you should do fine.

How do you get the grams of a compound converted to mols? For example, 58g NaCl to mols. How would you get that?
Also, what is this equation used for: grams of substance/molar mass (link)
|
Ok, in order to get from mass to moles, you have to divide the grams given (59 g) by the molar mass of the compound (NaCl- 22.99+35.45). The final result of that problem is 1.01 mol NaCl.
Hope that helps!

hey its me again! thanks for all that info! It was great! Do you know of any excercise routines that I can do along with all of that other stuff? (link)
|
Yeah, sure. I didn't start exercising until after Atkins (which was another reason I thought it was so wonderful), but I have one now that I followed up until a few weeks ago when I got sick. It totally screwed me up and I'm trying to get back on track.
Anyways, here's a few things to keep in mind:
-No matter what you're doing, you should work out for at least 30 minutes day 3-5 days a week.
-Sweating is good, cardio makes you sweat. Therefore, cardio=good.
As for routines, I have some Tae-Bo tapes that I used to do every day (except weekends) for about 30 minutes a few times a week.
Now, I have a different schedule:
-Monday through Friday I get up in the morning and power walk/jog 20 minutes. It's over a mile.
-Monday, Wednesday, and Friday I do some other stuff like ab work, squats, lunges, push ups, etc to tone up my problem areas.
-Saturday and Sunday I do NOTHING. I also eat whatever I want on those days...but I didn't do that when I was still trying to lose weight. One day a week could be beneficial though.
Hope that helps! And if you ever need anything else, you can IM me on AIM (galelvr66) or email me at deviant_queen@yahoo.com.
:) Good luck!

Omg! I was wondering, do you know any ways for me to lose about 10 lbs. in about a month? I was asking you because you lost 40 lbs ! Good job by the way. How can i lose the most weight i can in a month? - no more than 14 though. Excercises, foods, ? (link)
|
Well, I started losing my weight with Atkins. That's a low-carb diet plan in case you don't know. I bought a book on it and followed the rules. I was on it for 4 months and lost 35 lbs of the weight I wanted to lose. Then I went on a low-calorie plan that caused me to lose the last 5 lbs and I've maintained since then.
On Atkins, I lost 8 lbs in the first week and 2 in the second. After that it was anywhere from 1 to 2 lbs each week after that. The best part about it was that I wasn't starving myself!
If you'd like meat, eggs, cheese, and vegetables, Atkins is a good choice whether you want to lose 10 pounds or even 100 pounds and up. If not, you can try low calorie. If you want to go with that (those are the only two I'm an "expert" on), here are a few guidelines.
-8-10 glasses of water a day (IMPORTANT)
-5 small meals a day (it's cliche but it works)
-No less than 1200 calories a day
-Whole grains, vegetables, fruit
-Healthy portions of protein (meat) and dairy (milk, cheese)
-Watch your intake of sugar, sodium, calories, and fat
-Watch your portion sizes! Multiple small meals is better than 1 medium and 2 large meals...trust me.
You shouldn't have any problem losing 10 lbs in a month. If you need any more help, just send me another question. Good luck! :)

Does anyone have a good routine for waking up in the morning.As in getting ready for school
Time for hair
And make up.
From
6:00
to
7:00
And any good remedies for staying awake and falling asleep at night.
Mine doesn't seem to be working. (link)
|
Here's my plan.
Bed: 9:00 (I usually fall asleep around 10:30)
Wake up: 5:30
Work out: 5:30-6:00
Shower: 6:15(I usually lay around for 15 minutes after my work out to cool down)-6:30
Make up: 6:15-6:25
This is the point where I flip my hair upside down and blow my hair out a little bit to start drying it. Then, I go put on my clothes (except for my top shirt usually). Then I finish blow drying my hair.
Breakfast: 7:00-7:20
Then I finish getting ready; straighten my hair, put on my jewelry, finish getting dressed, getting my stuff together, etc. Then, I leave the house at 7:45 to get to school.
If you leave at 7 you'd have to push everything back 45 minutes. I'm not a quick person getting ready, so this could possibly be a lot shorter for you.

im sleeping over my friend who's metabolism is the opposite of mine. she eats a ton but is super short & skinny. I'm tall & am skinny cause i watch what i eat. You see i'm sleeping over her house sunday. I'm 13 & no one i know who is my age diets like i do, or diets at all. My life is full of super skinny, great metabolized, eat-a-ton girls. At her house, they order from a restaurant usually. My friend always gets a burger & last time i was there i wasnt dieting so i got chicken fingers/fries. But now my problem is i dont want to be rude but i dont know what to order. i think salads are usually expensive & ill be embarassing telling her family i really watch what i eat. my friend has a jacuzzi also & we usually put on our bikinis & Jump on in after dinner. my friend loves deserts so she'll ask if i want a milkshake from the restaurant. for breakfast on sundays, they make eggs, bacon, sausage & pancakes. what should i do? i dont want to seem rude but i need to keep my diet. help!! please do so ASAP

Ok, I just lost almost 40 lbs in a few months so I know all about dieting. I also know that I HATED when people said this, but it's true: One day of splurging won't hurt you.
I eat whatever on want on weekends and I've maintained my weight EASILY for over 3 months. One or two days won't make you gain weight.
If you still want to be "good" or not feel guilty, just order something and only eat half of what you get. It's all about portion sizes.
Finally, eating something that's unhealthy before getting into a bikini won't make you look bloated. That's ridiculous. You won't look any different before you ate than after you ate. And even if you think you do, no one will probably notice or care.
As long as you don't let yourself let go of the diet after the sleepover day/morning, nothing bad will happen.
Oh, and definitely don't go that day without eating like the person below me said. That's just plain stupid.

ok me and my boyfriend have had sex 3 times already and it really hurts i was wondering why it hurts so much and when will it stop hurting (link)
|
Maybe he's being too rough. Or maybe you're doing it too often. Give it some time in between.
If neither of those could be it, it's probably just your body. Three times isn't a lot...it can hurt quite a few times after losing your virginity.
Don't worry about it, it'll get better.
|
Okay so i have some jewelry. And i think its pretty nice too. So i really need money. So you know those places where you go and like sell the jewelry to the store. Well What are those places called?
Think its a good idea? (link)
|
Yeah, you should definitely bring an adult if you aren't one...especially if you are easy to convince. Take someone that won't take a bunch of crap from the guy trying to buy your stuff.
Pawn shops are not always the best idea, but they're the quickest and most efficient.

FIRST PART: Ok I joined an online dating service and I was emailing one of the guys who wanted to know about me and what I looked like. My mom said tell him you are tall and slim. I said to her why did you say slim and not thin because I am thin. She replied because it sound sexier. I got a little upset that she said slim because she always tells me I am thin/skinny. She said slim means thin but sounds sexier. MY QUESTION: AM I OVERREACTING AND WHAT DO YOU THINK OF WHAT SHE SAID? SECOND PART: Today at work I had to call my mom. During the course of the phone conversation I asked her about slim and thin. I said to her that I was surprised she said slim because she always tells me I am thin. And she said you are - you are even skinny, but slim sounds nicer. She said; if someone is a bleached blonde you would not say bleached blonde because it isnt nice so you would say blonde. It is the same with thin, instead of saying thin you would say slim. Well then tonight I asked her again and she said the following; (1) at the beginning of tonights conversation - you wouldnt put thin on the online dating service because thin sounds anorexic; (2) towards the end of the conversation - what is the difference between thin and slim. MY QUESTION: WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF WHAT TRANSPIRED ABOVE?
(link)
|
I think you're definitely overreacting here.
Slim, skinny, thin...it doesn't matter. You're skinny, what's the harm in using a word that is more appealing?
Like if a girl wasn't thin and had curves here and there. She wouldn't say "chubby"...she'd say "curvy" or "voluptuous".
Certain wording just sounds better when you read it. It's the little details that make a difference.
Basically, thin = slim. No big deal.
