I'm a vegan. I like glam rock and androgynous males. I have two cats. they're mystical beings. I'm going to college in less than a month.
advice
14/f I have been with my boyfriend since January. Whenever we go out, I can never eat in front of him. For instance, when we go to six flags together, I usually don't get anything to eat, just something to drink. Same with movies, mall, what have you.
Well. In about a month, we have a Semi-Formal dance coming up at school. This dance includes a catered dinner before they open the dance floor.
I'm afraid to eat in front of my boyfriend. I'm perfectly fine in front of most friends and whatnot, but I'm not the skinniest girl in the world so I think thats probably why I'm shy about eating.
Its not that I think my boyfriend won't accept me or something, because I know he's not at all like that -- but I still won't eat when I'm with him.
What can I do to resolve this problem?
start off in a place you're comfortable with eating. you can eat in your kitchen or in a favorite restaurant (I used to be the same way, so I invited my friend to my favorite italian restaurant/bar). make sure you get something "safe". a girl below suggested salads and things that won't stretch or put you in an awkward situation.
allow him to start eating first, then mimic his movements. if you think that he won't accept you because of the way you eat then eating like him will give you more confidence. gradually you can work up to eating anything around him and you'll be fine.
15/f... I have a really abnormal period and horrid cramps(the doctor has put me on birth control and perscribed me vikodin for the pain of my cramps)My mother had Ovarian and cervical cancer when she was pregnant with me (Which she was supposed to get taken care of before she was pregnant)and I have had papsmears and they came back negative for cervical cancer but the doctor wants to do tests to make sure i dont have any other cancers in my ovaries or to make sure i dont have endometriosis (sp?). Could I have possibly got whatever is wrong with me b/c my mom had that stuff when she was pregnant (before & after) with me? Also, I'm really scared of what the test results will be and if I have either ovarian cancer or endometriosis can I die from it or can it cause other situations down the line? And if I were going to have sex would that make it more complicated?
Sorry This is so long I'm really confused and need help. I will rate high for descent answers...
ALIX
my mother has endometriosis, my aunt and grandma also. I do not.
however, you shouldn't be certain that you won't have it. just be aware that it's not iminent. now then, if you do have it you'll get meds (most likely birth control) to make your periods more regular and hurt less. endometriosis is where the blood decides to go into different places before leaving your body. it's nasty stuff, but it's easily to combat with hormone therapy. I have a friend with endo who is on seasonale so she only has four periods a year since normal birth control didn't help her pain. now she gets to hurt less.
Alright I asked the stylist to cut my hair like this: http://imdb.com/gallery/granitz/3274/AshleeSimp_Pimen_5265256_400.jpg?path=pgallery&path_key=Simpson,%20Ashlee&seq=7
I even took in a picture and showed her.
What I ended up getting was almost 5inches cut off (its now above my shoulders) and these short looking bangs that barely reach my eyebrows.
What can I do with my hair? It won't all go up in a ponytail, and when it just hangs down it looks terrible. My face is not the right shape for this cut, but theres really nothing I can do to change that. Help!
I would shampoo it once and give it a few days to "settle". last month I had a terrible haircut, but now it's absolutely perfect because my hair-dresser knows how my hair will grow out and how it will look when it's dry and product-free, which is how I like it.
about your bangs, they will grow fastest. I generally trim mine once a week to keep them exactly how I like them. give it time and you'll have more bangs to play with. I completely suggest cutting them yourself or having a friend cut them for you. if your stylist did them thinly, you can also cut longer bangs with more of your front hair over your short bangs, but I don't suggest it.
okay a friend really wants to get a laptop uuhh and he's getting apple and does anyone knows like a good model like he asked me

you can never mess up on an apple computer with the proper basic knowledge of how it works.
do not buy dell. do not buy sony. for the love of god, do not buy dell. they're cheaply made. terrible.
I really like this, you can say odd or weird, style of jeans. All my 'punk' friends do this, they sew their jeans to make them skin-tight! And i really love the style. My problem is that i want to learn how to do it myself with a sewing machine. So far i put the jeans inside out, put them on, and safety pinned them so theyre tight, and then how do i sew them with the sewing machine? Am i doing something wrong? Do i cut them? Please help, i'm very..slow. But instructing me on how to do it, or give me a website (Must Be Very Detailed!!) on how to sew skin-tight jeans will help so much! 5's! Please help! THanks sooo much!
first, I suggest you practice on old pants first, not jeans. put them on inside-out and safety pin them around your legs (safety-pin the outer edges, not the inner; use safety pins because they won't come undone). you really only have to do one leg. remove your pants and put them flat on the floor. then make sure both new seamlines are very straight and matching. trade the safety pins for ordinary pins which are easier to remove while sewing using your machine. then sew the new seams on your machine. Finally cut away your excess fabric 5/8ths of an inch from the new seams and iron those to one side or open. adjust your pants as necessary with them on yourself inside-out to get the fit you want. after you do one pair using ordinary fabric you can try tackling denim which is often thicker and more difficult to control. for these reasons you should check to see that your sewing machine can even take sewing denim. some older machines (pre-1990) can't handle it. get a fresh needle meant specifically for heavy fabrics. otherwise your needle will snap and that's very dangerous.
feel completely free to ask me if your machine can take denim. I'd need specific information about your machine's model and how old it is.
I recently lost my old computer to a virus with all my itunes music on it.
i still have my ipod with all the music.
is there anyway i can download itunes again then transfer the songs back to itunes from my ipod?
I use a freeware program called Senuti, but it's only for Apple computers and it sounds like you're running Windows (because you got a virus, and we don't get them...). Try googling for programs like iPod transfer and Senuti.
to get iTunes again, install it from the disc which came with your iPod, then update it to the current package.
Ok, I just wanted to ask, ok, my family has like, 5 cats, and 1 of them has gone missing! I am worried sick, and my Mom misses him 2 death, (he was her favorite) and we have NO idea where he is! We miss him so, and are just wondering, where do you think he is? Do you think he's ok? Should I worry? Heres some info:
He is not fixed
Has not run away for longer then a few hours
Is an indoor cat
Parents dissapeared also but came back
HAs been gone for 3 days
Where is he? Please give me some suggestions on finding him!
posters and ads in the local paper are good ways to reach out to your town. you should also check with the local vets and animal shelters to make sure that they haven't picked him up in the three days that he's been gone. also, putting food out around the outside of your house will attract neighbor cats and possibly yours.
okay i am the one that asked about shrinking that hoodie.. okay so if i were to just soak my hoodie in like warm water and then go over to my neighbors house and then put it in the dryer, would it work and what should be the temp of the drying in order for it to shrink?! thanks ill rate 5's if you helpedd
Since hoodies are made of cotton which is a cellulose fiber, it will not shrink. Wool and other fibers from animals shrink, but cotton will not. Woolen items felt, with water and agitation, because the scales on the wool swell, rub against each other and bind together, creating a denser, shrunken fabric. Since cotton is a plant fiber, it doesn't have scales. therefore it cannot shrink.
i'm in 8th grade. We had to turn in our highschool schedules yesterday. i am in algebra right now, and i am going to take honors geometry. i get good grades in alg, but i'm always hanging on to my A. its never a very strong A. is this smart? or should i just take geometry? i like that feeling of being in higher classes.
and does anybody have a website that lets you know what classes you should take in highschool to become a nurse practioner??
thanks, i rate 5's.
definitely take honors.
if you feel like taking the hardest classes you can, then take them. it'll help you more in the long run to have a straight line of Cs in a really difficult english class than to have 140+% in basketweaving.
work hard. party later.
I'm a junior in highschool. I've taken Biology and Chemistry. I passed Bio with an 89 and I passed Chem with a 96. So next year I have to decide to take physics or bio 2. The physics teacher says there is a lot of math involved. And I'm a strong math student. But I talked to my sister and she said it was really hard(but she's not a strong math student). The physics teacher doesn't have tests in her class and hardly any homework. Then the bio teacher says that her class will better prepare you for college. She says that she helps us with studying and everything. But she said you will have to work your butt off for an A. The bio teacher said that we will have to take bio in college no matter what we want to major in(which I have no clue what I want to do) so I don't know if I should take bio and be more prepared or physics. Any advice?
if your school allows it, why not just do both?
I'm doing AP Bio simultaneously with Physics next year. since only one is math-intensive I should be fine and I don't see why you shouldn't be either.
How do you survive a horrible haircut that is short and curly? My hair is shorter than my brothers, and im a girl. Skool is tomorrow and we cant wear headgear. I look like a man, so what do i do?
well.
when I grow my hair out for shows it's often in weird chunky lengths and I don't like to style it much in the morning. so I use a weird zig-zag comb-like headband made of plastic to pull it back then pull my bangs forward.
the head-band style looks really good with shorter curly hair because it's almost like a ponytail, but it makes your hair do a cute bob. I've been wearing my hair like this off-and-on since sixth grade.
right now I have a horrible hair-cut so I'm using this style to disguise it because you can't really tell how long my hair is.
LONG STORY!!!!SORRY
I'm 16 and recently went back to work at the restaurant I worked at the previous summer. I was surprised to find out that J., 20, had started to work there on the same day that I came back. We worked together last summer, I had no strong feelings for him this way or that.
I began to flirt with him immediately, normally I wouldn't do this, but I am comfortable around him. He's always set me at ease. I did childish things like throw parsley at him, he often attempted to throw it right back.
Anyway, as time went on we'd stand close together in the doorway, just subtle flirtatious things like that. Later, he began to flirt back with me by putting me in headlocks and lightly pushing me. Sometimes we'd hold hands until the next session of flirtation began.
To make a long story short (I'm sorry! I don't want to bore you! ^^;;) I asked him if he had a girlfriend, and he said he did. I almost slapped myself, was he ever planning on telling me if I never asked? I guess I should have asked earlier, but maybe I didn't want to know if he did...
So even though I really liked him I tried to not flirt with him, I felt that things were just "weird," because it feels so natural to have the flirtation between us. I don't want to hurt his girlfriend, but I can't help the way I feel...
So later after I pretty much had stopped my advances, he starts to flirt with ME again! (not vice versa!) What am I supposed to do?! I flirt back, because I still have strong feelings for him.
One night when we worked alone we got drunk (well I had 2 beers, he had 3) and we played around some more. We did the normal flirty things that we usually do, stand really close together, he holds me and runs his mouth/face over my neck/collarbone. Then our boss shows up, we scramble outside and I ride around with him in his car (I was afraid to drive).
He said he wanted to have sex with me, and I told him, "No way. I'm a virgin. I'd never have sex with you unless I really really liked you and you were my boyfriend."
I told him the last part to be nice. I'm really saving myself for marriage. Later before he dropped me off and said that he wanted to kiss me, but he said he shouldn't because, A. I'm "too young", and B. he has a GF. I gave him a kiss on the cheek and told him Goodnight. That way his GF can't be mad at him.
Another night (next week) we got drunk again at work, I had 3 wine spritzers and he had a beer. We fooled around some more and I kissed him, or he kissed me...I don't know. He told me I was a good kisser (but you never know because boys lie! :-P) and that he wanted me to kiss him again. I eventually end up kissing him more and more that night before we went over another restaurant that my boss owns. He's my second kiss, and I love kissing him. Of course, because I was drunk I told him that when I was kissing my first kiss I was thinking about him. (I was!)
He told me that he would date me if he didn't have a girlfriend already, I told him that I would wait for him...oh, he also said that he likes me.
He also told me that someone told his girl that I had a crush on him. We think it was one of the waitstaff, that told one of HER friends, that told his girl. (Yes, one big long chain of ppl ^^;;) I asked if he would act weird around me when that certain waitress was around, first he said probably, and then he said he would act the same around me. I was happy when he said that, I don't want things to change. Oh, this was also on another day of working alone together, we were sober!
So the day after our kiss, he acts Coldly around me. He tries to avoid me if possible, and barely talks to me. The next day is kind of the same, but he tells me he had a huge fight with his girlfriend (that wants to beat me up..) partly over me. He told me that he told his girl that he didn't care about me.
So here I am. I'm confused and lost. I really like him. I don't want to get burned, but it appears to be too late. I know that if I dated him, I would be the only one..but how would I be for sure when he flirts with me and has a girl?! I don't want to have these doubts, I trust him completely.
How should I act around him? What should I do? I just want to flirt with him, and he with me, and have everything be alright.
I can't stop thinking about him, and I just want him to come back to me. What has his problem been lately? I just don't understand. I can't turn to anyone else for help.
Thanks!
he's a player. yadayadayada.
however. I don't believe he's a player because you're 16 and he's 20. I just think he's a player because he openly asked you for sex while he has a girlfriend. and do you want to be with someone who can casually ask for sex?
How can I get music from my playlists in windows media player into my iTunes library?
a lot of iPod transfers depend on the file used to import the songs to begin with. if they're .wmas, windows media applications, they WILL NOT transfer to iTunes. iPods are made by Apple which is not compatible with windows programs (most of the time). if your files are not wmas, they are all stored in some folder on your computer. open this file using iTunes and then they'll be in the library. however, if you used windows media player to rip your CDs, they won't be able to be put onto the iPod so you'll have to re-import the original CDs using iTunes. it's quick and the files are smaller and have a better sound quality. but if you still don't want to do this, then I suggest not using an iPod.
i'm turning 16 soon and i was wondering what are some jobs that hire 16 yr olds that arnt too public...lol i mean like not mcdonalds where everyone goes. thanks =)
well, what are your interests? I mean, if you're into journalism then you can intern for local papers, but it wouldn't be a great idea to work for some clothing store. But, if you're into fashion then maybe a thrift store is for you. You could buy a bunch of clothing then experiment with editting. Just think about what you want out of the job.
ok well in the 5th grade i made 5th grade honnor choir and i was an alto, but then when i went to middle school my choir director put me as sprano (sp?) and then this year i made the 8th grade choir in 7th grade, as a sprano but i was talking about it to my friend and she said that the sprano's have to go reall really high! and i can only go to high la and she said they went to like high ti and i dont know if ill be able to go that high it is only one step higher but still that is reall really high! and so i was wondering if there is anyway other than just warming up and trying to go higher to get that high on the staff.
please only people that know what they are talking about answer this question.
thanks!

you were a soprano last year, I take it? then being a soprano will be nothing this year. At your age, your voice has probably not developed enough to know what range you really have. So just ride out middle school chorus, only in high school does it truly get interesting and challenging and then you'll have a better idea of your voice and can pick your section accordingly.
Is there any way of convincing my mom to let me babysit? She says she wants me to wait awhile. She said she would consider it though. Anyway, I would be babysitting with my friend. So she may be more comfortable about that. So how can I convince her to let me? And any ideas about how I could spread my services (if she says yes)?
I would tell her that a friend has invited you to babysit with her (perhaps your friend believes she has her hands full and you'd be a big responsible help). Have your mom then think about it for a little while.
Another idea is church babysitting. It's a large group of kids (though you're never alone) and sometimes it doesn't pay, but your mother will be able to see that you're responsible around children and some of the parents of the kids you would be babysitting will be interested for appointments outside the church group.
everyone at my school says cheerleading is a sport and some say it isn't a sport..don't answer this question if you are going to write something mean or stupid. so is cheerleading a sport? and if no why is it on espn?
I have to go with spacefem and MFS on this one. It's not a sport because "winning" is highly subjective. Saying that cheerleading is a sport is the same as saying that singing is a sport because you have to work out your voice. Well, singing is not so neither is cheerleading.
So a long time ago, i took my pc to best buy and then it deleted all my songs from itunes. so i imported all of the songs back to itunes and then i wanted to update the ipod and it won't work. does anyone know what i should do?
your iPod now recognizes your computer as a second computer (since you probably reinstalled the iPod when the computer came back). Once the iPod has had music from multiple computers it doesn't do automatic updating on PCs. On Mac it doesn't automatically update at all.
So, you have to manually select songs and add them on. have fun.
