advice

I just started a new school this year,and I started dressing "preppy"/casual, and made lots of new friends with my outgoing personality and all. Well, on the other hand, my best friend (from a different school) is into the goth/emo scene, and for a little while a few months ago I was too. Now I'm back into it again, and when I changed my myspace to totally death-looking emo pics and changed my pop music to death metal, I'm getting so many more responses than I thought. And from the "preppy" people, they're not liking it too much and keep asking what's wrong with me and asking 'what happened?!'-and my other friends, including my best, love it. I want to start dressing that way, but I'm way too afraid of what the student population thinks of me. Any suggestions on what I should do about this whole thing?

you should just wear what you want to wear. and if people don't like it then they were never really your friends in the first place. instead of just jumping right in to goth/emo try going "scene" it is like a preppier punk. lol like you can wear pinks and skinny jeans and striped flats. and you could wear cute necklaces and clips and headbands with a band shirt. try buying like a pink studded belt to wear with some jeans. and buy a lot of cute ballet flats. so basically whatever out you wear make sure to wear some color. or try wearing striped leggings with a skirt with a studded belt. it is so cute. and but some cute converses. they are adorable =] some stores to go to are delias, pacsun, wet seal, hot topic, and sometimes H & M.

just have fun with what you wear and dont let anyone else influence how you dress.

before answering,this question is not based on personality,so please don't answer..."if he has a nice personality"

i know this may seem like a wierd question,but i'm just curious,so thanks for taking the time.

do girls like classical or rock musicians?

and i'm confused,cause i hear girls say that they love musicians,but

1)is it based on skill.exp:the better the guitaring is.the more the girl likes the guy?
does skill affect?or do girls just don't care if he is a sucky guitarist or a pro,they will still like the guitarist as long as he plays guitar??

2)is it also based on looks,?or do girls love great drummers and vocals even through they don't look good? so which one would a girl choose? a kickass drummer with average looks or a sucky drummer with model looks?

thanks for answering,anyways,if you girls like any other type of guys besides musicians....like bikers,car racers or skaters...just feel free to say what talent you would love in a guy.although i hear that most girls are not really into guys that race,but more to guys that are musically or sports inclined,it that true???(this question is not based on looks or personality)

thanks a lot for reading.

most girls, but not all girls, like rock musicians. and for some reason they always fall for guitarists and drummers. i guess it is just something most girls find hot. um about the looks part. i don't think looks is so important but i do think that a girl won't fall for a really ugly musicians.

I love my cat a lot. I spoil her. I spend so much money on her, including on food, treats, toys, and little cat furniture (like beds and such). But almost every time I feed my cat food, she eats a little of it, then starts kicking the bowl with her front paw, and scratching the carpet, trying to cover up the bowl (even trying to put stuff in it like a sock that was next to it, or her toys). I have no idea why she is doing this! I sometimes tried to stop her, but in a way I also think she has a good reason for doing it.. so I am not sure if I should anyway. What is my cat doing?? And what should I do?? Thanks in advance!

i have three cats and i know EXACTLY what your talking about. it is completely normal and it isn't because your cat doesn't like the food. out in the wild when a cat is finished eating they would always bury whatever food was left. so really all your cat is doing is "burying" her food. my one cat does this. he just "buries" the floor around his bowl before he walks away.

i hope i helped a little =]

Ok...so I'm a girl. I have deeeeo briwn hair, hazel eyes and a alright complextion. The problem is...I see all the pics on hi5, myspace etc and they do those weird facial expressions and it looks so cool and pretty. When i try it...it looks like complete crap. How do they do it.....how does it look soo cool?

haha i have the same problem! i tried to make those weird facial expressions and it all just looked all wrong on me. haha. but what i did was stand in front of the mirror and practiced. first start off with your eyes. maybe try looking away from the camera. that way it isn't just staring right at the camera. then try pouting or just moving your mouth in a weird way. if you can't get the pout down then just try making a SLIGHT kissy face. haha just a small one so it doesn't look too funny =] before you actually take the picture look in the mirror and see if it looks werid.

okay once you got the face down. try holding your camera at different angles. try holding it above you or or just tilt it in funny ways. that will make your pictures come out better.

good luck!

ive been getting fat lately. basicaly i got a beerbelly and since i am a young woman it doesnt look right. becuase im tall and skinny . so my question is..would the ab roller (http://www.vitaminbungalow.com/prod_images_large/abroller1.gif) work more effectively for my stomach muscles than doing crunches? becuase i was going to get it for x-mas. but if it doesnt work..you know. my friend who has rock hard abs is my inspiration. :D
thanks!

for the ab workout you need to be super careful not to hurt your back when doing it. just when you're doing it make sure to keep your back straight and no matter want don't curve it.

well i've tried using it and i don't think that it is very effective. actually i think that crunches are more affective. but thats just me.

good luck if you decide to use it =]

I'm in total love with one of my best guy friends ever. A passion we both share is our complete love for music, specifically punk, punk rock, ska, and anything with a good bass beat. I decided to make a mix CD for him with awesome music he's not familiar with. So far I have the following bands:

Planet Smashers
Calibretto 13
Ludo
Pink Spiders
Me First and the Gimme Gimmes
Ok Go
Save Ferris

I need like 7 or 8 more songs. Any suggestions??!? I've been stuck in this rut for over a day and I'm supposed to give the CD to him tomorrow. help!

-Punk In Love

hellogoodbye
My chemical romance

boys like girls

those are all really good, and i hope i helped you out some =]

Hey, does anyone know a website where you could learn the dance moves to a music video. (Currently I need Corbin Bleu's "Push it To the Limit" lol)

thx! =]

hahahah i've seen that video and the dance is pretty cool. i don't think there will be a site to teach you the moves. i think that all you can do is watch the video over and over and pause and play and rewind it until you get it memorized.


good luck =]

i wear an Avenged sevenfold hoodie and i've put a coulpe buttons on the pockets i have a Grr and Gaz buttons,some geeky World of warcraft buttons, some Halo buttons and some Suburban legend buttons is that ok or should i take the buttons off?

do you mean pins? or actually buttons? well i guess it doesn't really matter. its your hoodie and your style. if you like it then that is all that matters. personally i don't think that many people will notice it much and even if they do i really doubt they will talk to all of their friends about you putting buttons on your hoodie. haha

I saw an Above the Influence commercial about people who Slom [It stands for Sticking Leeches on Myself] and it mentioned kids doing it at schools and parties just like smoking or drugs. I was wondering, why do kids do it? What exactly is it? How does it affect them? and where do they get the leeches?

I've never heard of this before so I'm just curious.

i thought the same thing and was totally grossed out. but i'm almost positive that they made it up just to show people how stupid doing drugs is. i saw the commercial with my mom and i asked her about it and she said that she thought it was made up.

i hope i've helped =]

Well I always hear 'Your so lucky your so skinny!' but then five minutes later I hear that someone is saying Im too skinny behind back or someone will ask me if Im anorexic to my face.

I dont have an eating disorder but somedays, like today, I dont eat anything all day cause Im not hungry and its 9 at night right now.

When I do eat I can basically eat whatever I want cause I dont gain anything.

Heres usually what I eat on a normal day like during the week for school.

Breakfast- usually nothing. sometimes a piece of toast.

Lunch- usually nothing unless I buy lunch, Ill eat about half of what they give me.

Dinner- my parents make dinner usually so I eat a meal for dinner or they get mad.

13/f 5'5"-6"ish. around 100 pounds.
THANKS for reading this and thanks for the help.

PS: when I dont eat for the day my hands shake really bad, is it because no food?

Okay so obviously you're not anoexic and the people that say that are probably just jealous that your thinner then them. it is just how you body is built. but just for your health's sake you should probably eat a little more. try some fruit or a bowl of cereal for breakfast and for lunch at least eat something, even if your not hungry. people probably think your anorexic because you don't eat anything around them at lunch, so at least pack "nibble" foods. lik carrots sticks or pretzels.

okay about your hands..that is very bad. that happened to me before because i was so busy i forgot to eat lunch and all i ate was an apple for breakfast and it was already 5:00. my hands started shaking and i got very lightheaded. so the next time this happens eat something right away! especially a carb like pretzels or crakcers because they will get rid of the shaking quicker.

good luck!

I always want to leave my hair down but it puffs up in 5 mins after I let it down weather it's wet or dry (worse when dry). I took care of the poofy thing by using the Sun Silk Poof Conrtol Shampoo (wow it actually works..) but like my hair is really static or something because hair from difference places just stick out and it's long hair too, not just newly grown, short hair. Does anyone know any good hair sprays that are cheap but works real good, has no strong scent, and doesn't make my hair sticky or stick like glue but just keeps it down?

omg this stuff is a miracle worker! no lie. by static guard. you can use it around the house on furniture, but it works wonders on hair. just spray it on your brush then brush through you hair and viola no static! =]

http://www.walgreens.com/store/product.jsp?CATID=100759&navAction=jump&navCount=0&id=prod4260

it has a small smell to it but i promise the smell is gone in like 5 minutes...trust me =]

i never know what to talk about with guys either on the phone or in person. anyone have some simple ideas. this sounds dumb i know but i could really use the help. thanks

the same thing happens to me. so during an ackward silence i normally look at the person and say something about them. for example like if they are wearing a band shirt you could say something like, "oh i've never heard of them, are they good?" and that could start a conversation. or one time i was talking to this guy that had a lip ring and i asked if it hurt to get it pierced. just little simple things can really start conversations.

i'm sorry if this is super unspecific, but it's what i remeber lol. there's this song that's like a pop song, and i think that it's from the 90s and it goes

oh, oh, oh

i noe thats really unspecific but maybe the 90s pop thing helps

thankyou

your right, that being so unspecific it is nearly impossible to tell what song that is. have you heard it on a radio station? if so that might help us tell you what it is. or the next time you hear it listen really closely for more of the words.

good luck =]

when asking quesions on here no one is going to find out my name? right?

what is it called when you get that hard part in the middle of your ear pierced? (not cartlidge)

the person below me is correct. it is called the tragus. like this:

http://girlgerms.net/tragus.jpg

my sister got it done and i think it looks really cute. especially if you put in a small diamond stud.

it does hurt a little more then getting your cartilidge pierced, but it is worth it =]

i tried to burn a CD form iTunes but whenever i try it says disc burner or softwear not found. how do i get a disc burner?

a disc burner is another drive that come with your computer. you know that regular disc drive where you can put in computer games a such? well with some computers you can also get a disc burner included and it would be below the regular drive.

i hope i've helped =]
