about




My name's Jennifer, but I'm more commonly known as Jen or Sporkster. I love lots of things/people including God; volleyball and soccer, my two favorite sports; and cheese. I also love Pi, but that's a story for another day.

I've been answering questions on Advicenators for over three years now, so I'm pretty experienced with it. I love answering questions and helping you out anyway I can, so if you've got a question, just ask me!

Ask me about: Christianity, athletics, physical fitness, love-life, relationships, friendships, HTML queries, book suggestions, music suggestions, musical theory, history, English (or Spanish) grammar, Paint Shop Pro 8, skin problems, sports injuries, "punk" fashion, nutrition, etc.

Q: hey. i have these weird little circle indentation things. it crazy its like these little circles on my face. i have no idea why.. any ideas?..

thanks

A: One of my friends at school has those all over her face, but you don't even notice them after awhile. They're really not that noticeable with makeup on. My friend says they're from when she had chicken pox as a little kid. They don't go away, but don't worry about them.

Q: tHere is a boy in my school who i have liked since the beggining of the school year... ever since my friend let him know that, i have been too she to talk to him. i have never been shy around someone i like THAT WAY! when he says Hi, i say hi back but when i look at him i can't talk about things.. normally i can't stop talking. how can i get to know him better and start conversations with him without freaKing out?
*********HELP PLEASE*******

A: Well, how has he acted around you since he found out that you liked him? If he's still friendly (sounds like it) you have lots of potential with him! When he says "Hi", say "Hey!" back and ask him how his day's going. This is a great conversation starter. Just go along from there and be yourself! Don't worry about what he thinks of you, because if he's the "one" he won't judge you for being you. Getting to know him better requires spending some time with him, so invite him along with you and a friend or two to lunch/dinner and a movie. After you get to know him, who knows what might happen? Best of wishes with this guy!

Q: I think I may have a blatter infection. This may sound gross, if it does, I'm sorry. Alot of times whenever I need to use the restroom, I feel like I need to REALLY bad. I try to go, but only a very little comes out and then I get this sharp pain near my blatter and it hurts really bad. When I wipe myself, it looks as if I was bleeding a little down there and I'm not due to get my period for another few weeks. I've been drinking so many liquids all day to try to make myself go to the bathroom, but it just makes it even worse because I still can't go! I'm going to be making an appointment with my doctor to see what the problem may be but in the mean time, I just need a heads up on what might be wrong with me. Can anyone help? I'm a 15 year old female.

A: I wish I could answer your question, but I don't know what the hell a "blatter" is. Perhaps you mean "bladder"? In that case, I advise you to 1) Learn how to spell and 2) Drink plenty of cranberry juice. Something about cranberry juice helps clear up any bladder infection. Hope this helps.

Q: This isnt about sports too much but people who do sports might be able to help me. I have a big sweating problem and i always wear jackets to cover up my sweat but i was wondering what a good deoderant was that would mostly block sweat so i can wear my cute tee shirts more.

A: I used to sweat alot too, and I tried all sorts of antiperspirants. I find that Adidas deodorant works really well. I hardly sweat at all now, and I don't smell! n.n Hope this helps.

Q: Ok..I have to go get a root canal sometime this week I think..and I guess there going to give me laughing gas. or whatever its called..i havent had it before so can anyone tell me what its like..and if you can still feel anything they're doing? and if they've had laughin gas with a root canal..and if it hurt! Thanks..im really scared =(

A: Well, when I had a root canal this summer they used laughing gas first, then an anesthetic (or something like that x.x) on me. Laughing gas basically just makes you drowsy and unalert to your surroundings. When I was on it I got really sleepy and drowsy and the dentist's voice was really distorted. Lol, it was kinda funny. Don't worry, it won't hurt while he's performing the root canal. Just make sure you take your medicine after the proceedure and make sure you swish some salt water in your mouth a few times a day to keep it clean!

Q: my mom is sick n its getting really bad n shes in the hospital...
ive been told by my sundai school teacher to keep on praying no matter wut n its been a long time since i started n...nothings happening...
im getting really impatient n starting to think that God doesnt love me.
wut should i do?
^$SiCknSaD$^

A: Just because God doesn't answer your prayers the way you wanted Him to doesn't mean he hasn't answered them. God has a plan for everything, and he answers every prayer with yes, no, or wait. I hope God's will is for your mum to get better, but it may be that He wants her to come home to Him. Just keep praying. Remember that God loves you ALWAYS and that he died on the cross for you because he loved you so much. God will neither "leave thee nor forsake thee."

Q: location: Serbia, city of Nish.
I would like to find a friend who would send me Dark Elf Trilogy books Exile & Sojourn or tell me where to download it for free.
By some miracle i found Homeland in my store and bought it, but other 2 - no luck. Sadly, its not a option to just order it.
if someone can read serbian i will be happy to send him hundreds of sf & fiction books (though chance, but and serbs out there)

A: Barnes and Noble has almost everything in stock all the time, so if you have a Barnes and Noble near by you might want to try that out. Books-a-million is pretty reliable too. I have no idea of where you could download it, but I would try searching on Google. Hope this helps,

Q: im prude and so not happy with it. im 13 and most of my friends r not prude and im like so jealous that guys r all over them when i truy think im prettier or just as hott.i really dont wanna have sex or ne thing i just wanna make out with a guy.thanks

A: First of all, at your age you need to be prude. Girls these days are getting into things they shouldn't way too fast and they're ending up pregnant at ages as young as 12, which is absolutely ridiculous. You shouldn't make out with just any guy. I mean, why share something like that with some random guy you don't love, or even like? Wait until you meet a guy you could marry. Let your friends be sluts, just don't make out with some guy because you feel pressured to by your friends. Live your OWN life.

Edit:
If you don't want someone's opinion, don't ask for it. You should be old enough and mature enough to understand that if you ask a question on here people are going to answer it and those people have many different, varied opinions. Obviously you already know what you want to do, so go ahead and do it. Don't just rate people horribly because they don't agree with your dumbass ideas.

Q: I dont know if i should dump my b/f becuz he likes another girl but whenvever i ask him who he likes more he always says yes to me that he likes me more....should i dump him???¿¿¿

A: Well, if he likes another girl at all I wouldn't continue to go out with him. That will eventually cause problems in your relationship. It's your relationship though, so make your own decision. However, I think it would be best for you and him if you found someone else.

Q: Okay, this may sound really stupid, but I'm serious about asking this question. I'm a girl, I'm thirteen, weigh 105 pounds and I'm 5 foot seven. I'm so tall, and I HATE it! I wish I could stop growing! No offense to tall females, but I think that tall isn't really that flattering for me. My mom is always complimenting me on how tall I am, and I hate it so much! I don't want to be tall! She won't even let me drink coffee to stunt my growth! My doctor said that I might even grow to six feet! I don't want to be that tall! I hate my height already! I'd be happy to be 5 foot four! ARGHH please, is there anything I could do to 'appear shorter' or to stop growing??

A: First of all, why do you dislike being tall? Good Lord, I'm 5' 5" and I wish I was at LEAST 5' 7". Being tall gives you all sorts of advantages! You can wear all different types of clothes and they'll work perfectly with your structure, you're probably thin, and alot of guys I know LOVE tall girls. Take advantage of your God-given appearance, believe me, you'll appreciate it later.

Q: This may seem like a random and completely dumb question to some, but I'm actually quite serious in asking this. My question is that why is it that young girls ages 12-14 and some even younger, feel that they NEED to have a boyfriend just to fit in? You girls don't understand, when your time comes to have a boyfriend, you'll find someone who will like you for you. Also, my other question is why do you feel the need to dress provocitavely, exposing your breasts, butt, and stomach just to look "sexy"? You don't need to be showing all of that to look sexy. You can be completely covered up and still look gorgeous as ever! That was just my random question for today. Any young girl that feels that way, you can feel free to answer.Thanks.

A: Well said. I agree completely with EVERYthing you just said.

Q: Hey, I downloaded Animation Shop 3 and PSP 9, 60 days ago for the free trial, but now it doesn't work, even when I set the clock back on my computer. I tried unistalling both programs and re-downloading them, but they still didn't work. Does anyone know any sites where you can download them for free?

*Rate 5 For SERIOUS answers*

A: I was in the same exact situation. Sorry, the software is coded to stop running after a certain amount of time and it's recorded on the site. You can't download it again and have it work. You can, however, borrow it from a friend and burn a copy of it to use. That works. Hope this helps a bunch!

Q: ok this is a weird question and im guessing that no one knows but its worth a try i guess. i downloaded what i thought was "Lying from you" by Linkin Park.. but it wasnt that. I can't figure out what it is. I'm guessing its still by Linkin Park and whoever put it on the internet messed up the title. it sounds like them too. ok well i really like the song and i want to find out what it is! Heres the beginning of the song.

From the top to the bottom
bottom to top i stop
(some other stuff)
theres a place so dark you can't see the end
(and the only other thing i can make up 100%) clear is "The darkness holding me tightly"

thanks so much

A: Forgotten - Linkin Park

Q: when people say "Christ is not a fasion" what are they implying?

A: It means that you shouldn't wear things that relate to Christ or Christianity if you're an atheist/jew/buddhist/etc.

Q: What types of paint colors would make a small room see bigger?

A: Light pastel colors such as baby blue, lavender, or perhaps a pastel green tend to make smaller rooms seem larger, while darker colors (black, dark purple, navy) tend to make a smaller room seem even smaller. If the room has a large amount of sunlight during the day you could probably make some darker colors work. It really depends upon the lighting of the room. If you have any additional questions, feel free to ask!
