advice

In about two weeks. Im having this party with about 6 of my friends. I was thinking about going to the mall and having a picture scavenger hunt. Like a list of tasks and to make sure you did it you take a picture in the store while doing the task. But i need ideas for a list of tasks. Please and thanks. :D.

this sounds like it will be so fun :D

try these
take a pic...
+ with a hot store clerk.
+ try on some crazy outfit.
+ undress a manequin ;]
+ hide behind a clothing rack.
+ sit on top of a counter.
+ holding up some undies ;]
+ trying on old lady clothes.
+ the entire group in matching outfits.
+ holding up a huge bra.
+ spraying a random person with perfume.
+ jumping on a bed in a matress store.
+ telling the lady at build-a-bear you need one for your baby because you're pregnant. (my friends and I did this and it was hilarious) ;]
+ trying on a crazy bikini.
+ throwing pennies into a fouuntain :D
+ wearing crazy sunglasses.

that's all I got
hope it helps

i need help! i don't know if im wrong ...ok so i have a boyfrien , and he's nice and everything , but today we went on an argument about him not oppening the car door for me ...am i wrong for wanting him to do it?? even though he's nice and open places doors for me etc??..i told him i'd like that ..and he said :S its not like im going to be your slave or anything! can't you open it yourself??? ...and i was like ..i can obviously , but i would appreciate if you'll do it ....he sad your spoiled! its like i have feelings too! and im a person too why do i have to be all day after you doing evrything for you opening doors for you and for me who will do it? nobody does it for me , why do you have to be better than me ? we are both equal! ... then it turn into a big fight but am i wrong :S??????

Let me start off by saying this:
DON'T OVERREACT
because my ex and I had kinda a situation like this,I dumped him...
and I realized it was the biggest mistake of my life.
and you do nOT want to end up where I did.

I mean, you both have points.
you want him to show affection,
but he dosen't want to feel like you're controlling him.

If he dosen't open the car door, it's no big deal.
He opens the doors at places, right?
So it's ok.
Just apologize for overreacting and tell him everything he does is fine.

good luck

im 13 and i havent kissed anyone yet.now that im going out with my b/f im a bit worried encase i do it wrong.if my b/f knew i was worrying about kissing him he would just say theres nothing to worry about.i really dont want to do it wrong.if you can give me any advice please give it. xxaoifexxx

The main thing is to chill.
If you're uncomfortable and nervous,
then you'll be so worried you won't focus
on actually kissing him.
You'll just be focused on the nerves.

And trust me:
when it's over, you'll be like,
"I was worried for that." =]

I'm sure you'll be fine.
Just let it happen and go with the flow.

i'm moving next year and i'll just be starting highschool. i don't know what i'm going to do because i made a whole bunch of friends here and it's going to suck. i'm not good at making friends. on the first day of school everyone is going to have friends and i won't. :(
how could i make friends?

in high school
you make new friends anyways
you don't talk to
all the people you knew before.
maybe like 3 people
if theyre your really good friends.

but making friends is easy
just talk to people that
have the same interests as you.

compliment people
and then just start a conversation

hope it helps && good luck

This is probably a really dumb question, but I've always wondered.....

The body splashes from Bath and Body Works; do you actually spray them on your bare skin? Or on your clothes? All of my friends spray it on their clothes, but I wanted to see if you can also spray them on skin.

i dont think it really matters.
i spray ti on me after
i get out of the shower.
or i spray then walk through.

hope it helps
