Long story short, I'm from Los Angeles, went to an amazing school, left the US and moved to the Middle East. I've been backpacking around Europe and the Middle East on and off since August 2013.

Would you like to converse? Here's my Forum

Quite frankly, I'm sarcastic way more than I should be. Read a few of my answers, and you'll see that I am not totally mean to anyone.

Type correctly or go home. Yes, that is an ultimatum.

lets say your grandmother is from Hawaii, but your dad was born in the United States. Are you Hawaiin?? is that your background or aren't you because your dad is an American citizen?? thanks.

Well, you're American regardless, because since 1959, Hawaii has been a part of the United States.

But yes, you would be part Hawaiian, the percentage would be determined by who your dad's father is and your mother is.

does anyone know how much ipod minis used to cost (obviously before they were discontinued). thanks, Hannah :))))

149-199 dollars.

so on my myspace someone wrote something that really hurt my feelings but idontknow hu it is. it was telling me im a whore basiclly can you please help me.

Report it to MySpace. We can't do anything about it here, now can we?

ok well somebody tagged me in a picture on facebook and now it shows up under my tagged pictures. i look hideous and i was wondering if there was any way to to remove it off of mine?

There is. I've deleted my facebook, so I can't help you, but I know it's in their FAQ. :]

i'm going to see john mayer tonight in lexington, ky, and i was wondering if they let you bring a camera into the venue- he's playing at rupp arena. i reaalllyyyy want to get pictures and was wondering if taking my camera was a good idea or not. or if anyone's whose possibly been to a show on this tour could help me :]

Well, each venue will be different. you hould google the name of the ampitheatre and ask them.

The guy who did his lighting is doing a show I'm in this weekend, and if the two stages are similar at ALL, you won't get any good pictures due to the lighting and screen stuff.

Plus, it is VERY easy for it to get stolen. If I were you, I wouldn't take it.

is it Jenkins' or Jenkins's

Jenkins'

Do they sell bathing suits IN THE STORES of victorias secret or pink?

Pink is in their stores.

And, no, only through catalogues or online.

does anyone know johns hopkins's policy on SAT scores? like do they look at the highest from each section of any of the tests you've taken?

Most colleges do. Check their website or call them to double-check.

to add insult to injury
from rags to riches

Yes, both are cliches.

It depends on the assignment, and also on your teacher, I'd suggest refraining from using cliches.

I am captain of my cheerleading squad, and I have to write a floor cheer, but i have the biggest writers block! Im writing a cheer for our schools sports night, and the theme is western, wild west, southern, etc. Our team is blue.

Can anyone come up with some good cheers or ideas?

Thanks a ton.

That's how we spell victory.

I have a great relationship with my best guy friend. (I am 14/f, he is 15/m) We tell each other everything, hes always there for me and I'm there for him. He's been trying to help me out with this guy I like and it's made me adore him even more, as a friend. But lately I've felt like maybe I like him as more than a friend? I think it may just be lust because I still like this other guy a lot. And I don't want to like my best guy friend. I would never want to lose him as a friend, and I know the best way to lose a friend is to date them. I'm not sure how to go about this.

I was in a similar situation a little while ago. My best guy friend gives the best hugs in the whole world. The other day, I was crying and he just held me for like 5 minutes and everything got better. :]

I usually like more than one person at a time. You're not desperate. :]

I say that you let what happens happen.

K ill make this short. My male friend (13) says he is going to have sex with his girlfriend on Friday night. I really really tried telling him all the consequences about AIDS and Pregnancy and how young he is etc. He wont listen to me! I really care for him, and im not shure how to tell him not to have sex so he would listen to me. If anyone can help, that would be great.

Well, he can't get pregnant. ;)

But I think you should encourage him to have safe sex and let him live his life. If you keep bugging him, he'll grow to resent you.

Why do some of you get on here just to be nasty and write rude things(when not attacked) that dont even have anything to do with the question... or purposely write wrong answers? no ones twisting your arm to hit the answer this button..if you dont know...then dont answer.Then you want to whine about getting a low rating and pust the abuse link..when you didnt help in the first place...This might sound rude but as another colunmist and a person who asks advice...I think that people who ask question should be able to report abuse to.

Some people just feel compelled to always answer. I can't explain it. I'm the same way with the phone when it rings.

And...you can report abuse. Anyone can report anyone.

And just because someone files an abuse report doesn't mean anything happens.

i want to become a nurse and that's what i plan to go to school for but now im looking at dermatology. How would i go about becoming a dermatologist because people don't talk about that much?

My guess is medical school, since they are a regular doctor. Then, I think that they shadow a real dermatologist, and eventually open their own practice.

Okay, so I'm 14/f and yes I'm a freshie. I know that I am way too concerned about my grades for being in 9th grade but I can't help it. I'm just geeky like that. But since middle school my #1 goal is to be valedictorian [sp?] when I graduate [duh]. And that goal still stands strong for I am a very stubborn person when I make up my mind and I'm the kind of person that HAS to accomplish a set goal or die trying.

Hmm let me simplify this by listing it:
6th grade--Latin I (B)
7th-Latin II (A) and Alg I (A)
8th-Latin III (A) and Geometry (A)

Those were my end grades for the high school courses I took in middle school. And none of them were weighted so it was a 3,4,4, and 4.

Now, I'm in al IB Prep classes and there are 3 weighted credit classes. On top of that I'm in 2 other weighted credit classes (Latin IV and Adv. Strings). From what I know there is no one in my grade that is in their 4th year of their chosen foreign language so by far I have the most weighted credit classes (5 out of 7 classes) in my grade level. The person that has 4 weighted credit classes would be another guy in strings with me but I know that he's getting pretty bad grades right now. If the band doesn't have a weighted credit class (do they? i don't know) then I'm pretty confident that I'm going to have the biggest chance at being valedictorian.

What do you think? About what percentage do you guess that someone would surpass me and become valedictorian. yes I know it's too early to actually get accurate details but I'm asking you to guestimate for me...Thanks =]

Well, valedictorian is cumulative, so as long as you keep doing this well, no one can beat you that has significantly lower grades than you.

you dont have to be rude thats not what this site is about..if you have a problem with someones question then dont answer.

Hey,

a) My e-mail is on my column for a reason. I'm not here to waste bandwith on petty drama.

b) I'm a moderator.

c) Please mind your own business. File an abuse report if you see fit.

d) Of course that's not what the site is about. I take it you are a new user since you are typing in all lowercase letters. I've been here awhile.

e) It is a bannable offense to repeat questions.

has anyone ordered from trashy.com period if so were you satisfied?

Ask one more time, and maybe we'll magically have answer.

Please don't post this more than once.

I suggest looking at their return policy to see if you can return the stuff for free. If you can, then just do it. If not, shop somewhere else.

HELP. okay so i go tmy period for the first time. and like i am trying to use a tampon but im scared. ahh. help.
its a tampax pearl. idk if that helps ha.

Those are the best kind. :)

There are through instructions in the box. Start with the ones in the purple wrapper.

How do I know if im a good singer? I usually just sing at home when I'm bored, sometimes when my family is around, but usually when i'm like in a room by myself. I dont really mind singing for my family, but like how do I know if im a good singer? nobody in my family really knows that stuff and i wanna enter a competition in my school. i dont wanna get embarrased kinda like the people on american idol where they think they have talent when they really dont. :/

1.) Read my singing tips website (on my page, there is a link).

2.) Put it on YouTube and send me the link in your feedback.

3.) Leave your screen name in your feedback, and I'll IM you to discuss your voice.
