It's a fairly simple question (I think) but I need some help! You could say I'm a pretty preppy girl... not like (omg I'm really flippin annoying and too perky and I'm stuck-up!) not that kind of preppy. But, I wear polos, jeans, cute shirts from like... american eagle, aeropostale, abercrombie and fitch etc., sweatpants all that stuff that's so called, "preppy". I also like chucks... converse, whatever you would like to call them! But... some people say that converse don't really go with the whole preppy look.

What do you think? Would it be okay if I got them?

Thanks always, Christine

It would be fine to wear them, whether they go with this look or not. There's nothing wrong wearing Converses with your outfits. I wear mine pretty much everyday and they go with my "preppy" clothing. It doesn't matter what people say because and if you like them, buy and wear them.

does having an xanga cost money, or is it just if you go platunum???

Classic Xanga is free but if you upgrade to Premium, then you have to pay for your Xanga.

what does it mean to be anemic? my friend used to be and she thinks i am now...i don't eat red meat and i always get these really big bruises, that don't really hurt, but i don't know how i get them? and they don't go away for a week or 2. does anyone know what's going on?

Being anemic is when you don't have enough iron in your blood. Eating an iron-poor diet will eventually lead to iron-deficiency anemia. There are many types of anemia. You should go see a doctor to find out if you are. My friend has to take pills, since she's anemic.

i need to know if a C is a bad grade?

A "C" is an average grade and it's not a bad grade. If you're an straight A student and drop down to a C in one class, it's bad in a way but if you brought your grade up to a C, then that's good.

Does anyone know how the code for clickable links? Kind of like the links everyone has in their columns? Thank-you.

< a href="url" >name< /a >

Just remove all the spaces, except the one between "a href" or the text link won't work.

Insert the column URL or another website between the quotations and what you want the link to say in the provided area.

16/m. A guy in front of me in one of my classes drew an X on the back of his hands and said something about 'straight edge'. I was too much of an idiot to ask him, so can anyone help me out on what exactly that might mean? Is it bad or no?

It's not bad to be straight edge. If you're straight edge, it means that you do not participate in drinking, smoking, or having sex until you're married.

My friend said that Orbit gum causes cancer is that true!?

I've been chewing a few pieces of Orbit gum each day for the passed few months and I'm pretty sure it does not cause cancer. What your friend said is not true and I can't find anything to prove that.

hey everyone! does anyone noe a good way to stop split ends? i have a ceramic and it`s killer to my hair! i rate high! please help

[ &hearts:muah♥ ]

Do you use a heat protector when you straighten your hair? Not using one will cause you to get split ends faster. I use L'Oreal Paris' new "Hot Straight" cream when I straighten my hair, which straightens and also protects my hair from the heat. Matrix also has one, though it's quite expensive and works great. You should trim your hair every couple of weeks or when you notice that you have split ends.

If you add someone to be your friend on myspace and they deny you, how do you find that out? Because i added someone who i'm pretty sure denied me but their still in the pending requests folder. However, i heard that you would not get notified if someone denied you. Does anyone know? thanks in advance.

Myspace does not tell you whether or not a user has denied you. If this particular user is still in your pending requests folder, they haven't accepted you or they probably forgot about the request. If you're denied, the request is removed from your pending requests folder.

No, they certainly do not grow just from having sex.

do you think im a nerd b/c im on the middle school orchestra? be honest...i wont get mad if you say yes...im just curious

Of course you are not a nerd, just because you're on your school's orchestra. There's nothing wrong with having a particular interest like this. You shouldn't think that.

ok, im 13/f and i kno everyone has upper lip hair, but mine is starting to get a little more noticable and i was wondering whats the best way to get rid of it? i dont want to wax, if u even can, so dont say that. I have this little grooming razor thingy so would that work? thanks danielle

You should try using Nair Upper Lip Hair Remover and that will do the job of removing your uppet lip hair. I wouldn't use the grooming razor, since the hair will grow back darker and thicker. Waxing wouldn't make your hair grow back differently, though you mentioned not to say this. You should try the hair remover cream out.

(by the way, don't give me xangas unless they have quotes JUST from movies or something)

http://holliesquotes.com, as someone else suggested, has quotes from movies that you could use.

You can try checking out TjMaxx or Marshall's, since clothes from Abercrombie and Hollister are sent there when they can't be sold. The prices are reduced.
