You can ask me about ANYTHING, and I mean it. If I don't have an answer to give you, instead of making something up, I WILL find you somewhere to go where you will be able to find out what you need. My inbox is always open, and you are quite welcome to IM me on AIM. I think thats about all you need to know, but if you've got other questions...well...see above. =)

does anyone know if the all-american rejects are coming out with new stuff? they havent since like 2 years ago. or have they? thanks.

I'm not completely sure - as I'm not an AAR fan, but I do think I recal them being on Fuse's daily download and saying something about a new album or something. Try going to their website, its probably something like allamericanrejects.com. Hope I helped! ♥

OK.. well usually my period is.. well i dont really know how to put it.. thinck i guess. and dark. But this month it seems a lot thinner and lighter. Is this normal? Or should I see a doctor or something?

Your periods are bound to change from month to month. It may be heavy one month, light the next. Short one month, long the next. There's no telling. Its perfectly normal, nothing to worry about. Hope I helped! ♥

What kind of guitar (electric or acoustic) do you suggest I take up first? Does it really matter? Thanks.

I started out with an acoustic. Its a lot easier to learn since you don't have to learn how to fiddle with the amp and other knobs and such. But if you think you're definantly going to want to play an electric in the near future, and don't nessicerily have the money to buy one and then the other, then I suggest heading straight for the electric if money is really an issue. Or if you do have that problem, try finding a place that will maybe rent an acoustic out to you for a monthly fee or so. Hope I helped! ♥

Ok, I never knew my parents I guess my mom was a druggie and my dad was a pimp so they didn't really want a kid around. Well because of that I've been in "the system" for my whole life. I've been in and out of foster families and only 2 of them have ever considered adoption. Well I've been staying with this family for 2 years now. It's really great I absolutely love it they're so nice and they really make me feel like I'm their child. Well my mom (foster mother) was considering adopting me, she sent away for the papers and she was really thinking about doing it. But then my mother (birth mother) showed up. She said that she's cleaned up and that she wants to be able to raise and spend time with her daughter. I've never met my mother before and I don't know if I should go with her. I mean I have a really good thing going now these are the nicest people I've ever met and they want to adopt me. I'm afraid that if I go and get to know my mother and it doesn't work out I will blow my chances with this family. I really want to be a part of this family. I love these people but I've always wanted to meet and spend time with my real mother. I have so many questions that I know only she can answer. I talked to my foster mom and she said that I could talk to her and that I can get to know her and still be a part of this family but my mother said that she's leaving to another state so I have to make a choice. I don't know what to do. Please help me what should I do?

I think you should tell your mother how much you really love your foster family, but want to meet her too. Ask her if she'd be willing to find a house close in the area, so you can still live with your current foster family and maybe visit your mother on the weekends. Explain to her that you haven't known her your entire life - and although you are connected by blood, you don't really have any emotional relationship, and you need time to develop one with her. Explain to her how much you really love the family that you're with now, and you don't want to ruin things with them OR your mother. If she really has cleaned up, she will think about it and understand that that WOULD be the thing to do, and you're not being mean or anything, but just going by what you know. Good luck! Hope I helped! ♥

I am a 34 C cup size. Im really skinny though. I actually wear one of the smallest pant size like size 1. I dont know what do do about a bathing suit. Their all to small.

I suggest going to the women's swimsuit department. The store I specifically reccomend is Kohls if you can find one. Find a place that sells their tops and bottoms seperate, and that way, you can get a bigger size on top and a smaller size on the bottom. Kohls has really cute suits, too! And if you're looking for a one peice, the only thing you can do is get it tailored to fit you. If you just want to keep your belly covered up like a one peice, you could try getting a tankini which is like a tank top and a bottom. Hope I helped! ♥

I'm doing a DIY denim mini from a pair of jeans that i detest, but I cut it a little too short. Is there a decoration or something that I can add to the bottom that will make it longer, but won't take away from the "denim mini" idea?

You could go to the fabric store and buy some cool fabric and sew it onto the bottom if you'd like. You could even pleat (like fold it over type...think...sort of like the way a catholic uniform skirt is) the bottom of it, and I think it would look pretty cool if you picked out the right fabric! Good luck, hope I helped! ♥

I'm never really sure what to say to the question "I love your shoes! Where did you get them?" or any other clothing item because I really don't want to say anything to incriminate me. The popular kids will laugh if you answer anything like "target", "payless shoe store", or some other department store, and the kids that I'm friends with call me stupid if I tell them that I bought them at Hollister. What is a generic answer that I can say that will satisfy everyone?

Just say "Oh, I don't remember." Or "I got them as a gift, I have no idea." Or just go ahead and say where you got them! If you don't just want to say "I got them at payless shoe store" Then you could say something like "Haha! I got them at payless! I was walking by and saw them, and thought they were cute, and they were only $7! Isn't that awesome?!" People will think you're just a great bargain shopper! Hope I helped! ♥

every one told me that my second period would most likley be late..but it was not..is this normal? and does that mean that most likley all my other periods will be on time to? thanks..i would appreciate any advice.

Well a lot of young girls periods are irregular for the first year or so. Mine was very regular when it first started, and has been ever since. Its perfectly normal, and consider yourself lucky that you will be able to count the days inbetween periods pretty accurately. :) Hope I helped! ♥

Ok...I know this is a really stupid question but I think I have freshmanitis...lol

Ok, Finals are next week and I know I need to study but I just really don't want too.. I have good grades and I know I should take these finals as seriously as the ones last semester, but somehow I just can't...

How can I motivate myself?

Get together with friends that have the same classes as you, and make some sort of game out of studying. Bet money or poker chips or something over who can get the question right first or something like that. If you make it more fun than just going over words on a study guide over and over, you want to do it more, and for me, it seems to stick in my brain better since you're really paying attention. Hope I helped! ♥

For my Spanish class we have to write a 28 page book (with pictures of course) Kindergarten-6th grade, we have to choose. So, which age group do you think would be best for the project, and what do you think would be fun and interesting to read if you were a kid? Thanks..

I would probably write about/for Kindergarten. I'm not exactly sure if you're talking about you having to write a story ABOUT these grades or FOR kids in those grades - but either way, Kindergarten is always a fun time in people's lives, and theres no end to what kind of silly trouble little kids get into that you can write about. Good luck, hope I helped! ♥

ok well my freind keeps on calling me emo and i dont like because im not one yea i used to be an emo but not anymore and it is makeing me mad at him and i asked him to stop but he wont and it is getting on my nerves

what do i do?

signed,
to much to handle

Its just a label, and you've got to remember that. It wont change who you are or what you stand for or like. Just let your friend know that you don't really like him to call you that, but if he continues, just blow it off, its no big deal. Hope I helped! ♥

I'm going on a trip late this month. I don't want to bring my Ipod, but I'm downloading songs then burning them on disc to take as cds. What songs are great for long rides and what songs do you feel are essential? It's a 4 hr ride to the one place, then 1 1/2 hr ride to the hotel, and like a 3 1/2 hr ride home.

Well, it really depends on what kind of music you like. Some songs that I personally really like that are in the rock/screamo/metal type catagories are...

American Head Charge - Loyalty
Senses Fail - Irony of Dying on Your Birthday
Silverchair - The Closing
Smile Empty Soul - Radio In A Hole
Soilwork - Weapon Of Vanity
Vacant Stare - A Head Start
36 Crazyfists - Eyes Of Lies
Flaw - Medicate


And theres so many good songs...if you are into this type of music, and want some more suggestions, just drop me a line. :)

Hope I helped! ♥

Can you wear a skirt when you have your period? Is it safe to? Because I have my school picture tomorrow and I'm due to get my period tomorrow too! So I dont know what I should do! Help me out here! Thanks

Yup, its perfectly fine. Just make sure either the pads or tampons you're using have a decent absorbancy level, and if you can, I'd wear either regular shorts or better - boy shorts underneath just to be safe. You should be fine, though! Hope I helped! ♥

is it possible for a girl to get a infection or anything from a guy with like dirty and ishy fingers and he fingers you?

Yes. If he's fingering you, his fingers are going inside your body, or close enough to it, and if there are viral germs or bacteria on his fingers, it may very well get you sick. Though if seriously you and this guy would like to get intimate like that, just tell him to wash his hands please, no big deal. Hope I helped! ♥

hey .... i was thinking of making a xanga or myspace. which is better in your opinion? also, could i see some of yours to get ideas?(dont worry im not a stalker lol) thanks!

I prefer xanga, myself. Though, I haven't given myspace much of a chance, xanga is a lot easier to figure out and use. One of my xangas which is used for a journal is xanga.com/xO_uNdeRoAth_Ox. Hope I helped! ♥

my hair is pretty dark so i want to dye my hair to a brown color ..i dont want to use hair products because me and those dont mix well together because everytime i try it doesnt work.. so is there anything i can use? iheard if you put suntan lotion on ur hair it would come out lighter? should i try that?

If you're trying to make your hair lighter, try lemon juice and water. Mix 2 tablespoons of lemon juice to a cup of water and put it in a squirt bottle. Squirt it throughout your hair, and go play in the sun. Do this when you get the chance, and don't forget to take a shower afterwards, and it can make your hair lighter. Just don't add more lemon juice and less water, because it will fry your hair. Keep it at that dilution, and you'll be golden in no time. Hope I helped!

okay, im in love with the guitar.. i just learned to play it and im like obsessed with it! anyway do you guys know any places that i can get it for cheap? like.. 80 or under?

Well if you want an 80 dollar guitar, you're going to get 80 dollar quality. Which means...its not going to be a very good guitar. I suppose if you just really want that sound of an electric, go for it, look for one either in catalogs or maybe a thrift store or pawn shop. If you really want a nice one, that is going to sound nice, look nice, and last through the years, you're going to have to spend a bit more - probably in the price range of upper 170 =/ Good luck! Hope I helped!

How do you treat or make a sun burn go away?

You can't MAKE a sunburn go away - it'll go away in time. But putting aloe gel or a mixture of vinegar and water in the shower on the burn will make it feel a lot better.
