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: Does anyone know why the ninja turtles are names after famous renaissance artists???
A: A) The author of the comic must've been feeling really non-creative that day or B) He may have been a big Renaissance artist fan.
Q: when you're multiplying 2 numbers with a exponent do u multiply the 2 numbers and then square that or square only the number the exponent is over and then multiply by the other number. -2(-1) with a 2 over the -1
thanx
and dont tell me to look in my text book bcuz im in algebra 1 and this is pre-algebra.. i just dont remember.
A: God...you really should know how to do this by now. We learned how to do this in 7th Grade. Ok, so you're multiplying two numbers, one having an exponent? Ex:
2 squared x 3
FOLLOW PEMDAS! Gotta love Pemdas. It's
P arentheses
E xponents
M ultiplication
D ivision
A ddition
S ubtraction
So, following Pemdas, you would solve the exponent first.
2 squared = 2 x 2 = 4
Then, you would put 4 back into the problem and solve.
4 x 3 = 12
So, 2 squared x 3 = 12
Hope this helps! =) If you have any additional questions, feel free to ask! Math is one of my fortes.
Q: i have to write a 2 page essay, and it has to be double spaced. i have Microsoft Works Word Processor, and i cant figure out how to make it double spaced! (and i cant just press enter after every line because it will get screwed up when i print it) so if anyone knows how to do it tell me, thanks!
A: Yay! Finally a question I can answer! We just went over how to do this in our keyboarding class at school. Finally proves itself useful for something. Anyway, just press Ctrl 2 to double space the document. If you need to go back to single spacing,
just press Ctrl 1. If you have any additional questions, feel free to ask me.
Q: okay...all my friends tell me that i'm turning punk little by little...and most of my friends are punk. i listen to punk and am starting to dress punk too. if i totally change my style over christmas break do u think that the people in my school will call me a poser? i'm 13/f in 8th grade. thx...*changing*
A: God, I hate stereotypes... Just because you look "punk", or listen to "punk" music, you think you're some part of a group of people. Why do you people have to label yourselves? Yes, you're all posers. Just be yourself, not someone else.
Q: how do u loose the flab in ur legs? besides running, because that just seems to make mine musclier (and bigger) so if you have any good leg workouts that would help~thatd be great!!
A: Well, sorry, but the fastest way to lose it is running/exercise. I used to have SO much fat on my legs, and after I played soccer this past season, I lost all of it. Here's a general idea of some workouts you could do:
Leg Lifts -
Lie on the floor flat on your back. Lift your legs and feet about 6 inches above the floor. Hold this position for at least 30 seconds. Do this about 5 times.
Lunges -
"Lunge" forward, getting as low to the ground as possible. Don't let your knees touch the floor.
Running -
I know you said you don't want to run, but, combined with the right diet, running is the fastest way to get rid of fat on your legs. Running also improves your endurance. On the first day try to jog/run for at least 5 minutes straight. Gradually build up from 5 minutes to 7 minutes, from 7 to 10, so on and so forth. This is a great way to lose weight.
Hope my advice helps!
Q: does anyone have any good hairstyles i could use because im really tired of the regular pony tail,bun,or just leaving my hair down. I would like to wear my hair up tho so any ideas? also if it helps any my hair is dirty blonde!.Ive alreadi tryed scrunching my hair but it doesnt really look to good. Thanx!
A: Something that would look really cute would be pigtails! I know it sounds kiddish, but I hear that guys really think pigtails are cute. ;) That, or braid your hair overnight and take out the braids the next day for nice wavy hair.
Q: does anyone know some cool places to shop for jeans? i've been looking for some but everywhere i go they're either too expensive or not my taste.
A: Goody's has nice sales on Levi's and Lee and L.E.I every now and then. You could look around in Ross if you have one. I found a nice pair of L.E.I jeans in Ross one time for $12. ;) Shop around.
Q: Why do they always delete my questions? They arent for any of the normal reasons like everyone asks them or grammar, or too long or anything.
If a chicken had lips could it whistle??
A: Well, your "questions" may be thought of by other people as pointless. Maybe they're questions that have been asked a million times already, and if you weren't lazy you'd be able to find them. =/ Dunno, don't ask me.
Oh, and by the way, in response to your last question: Does it matter?
Q: is there a way to block coments from certain ppl? some ppl say stupid or mean stuff and its not very nice. anyone reading this that does that ,also, could u stop? thanx
A: Only thing you can really do is not read it. Just ignore it, and tell yourself it isn't there.
Q: My best friend and I were both dumped by this one guy, and we both still like him. Just about everyone says that he still likes me, but I don't want to hurt her feelings and I also don't want to take a risk and ask him out again, because he's the kind of nice guy that will say "yes" just to advoid hurting your feelings. That and he seems to be just cycling through girls right now, one of my other friends says that it's just his hormones kicking in, but I just can't believe that even though it's possible. However both his best friend and his little brother say that he really likes me, so what if he asks me out? I *really* like him, but again I don't want to lose a friend over it, but because he and I are pretty close friends, it seems that that's gonna happen, no matter what. What should I do? Is there a way to adviod losing a friend?
(If it helps any, all 3 of us are 14)
A: If he dumped you before, why would he decide all of a sudden that he still likes you? =( It sounds weird to me. As for hurting your friend's feelings... If you really like this guy, and he likes you, she should be able to understand that. If he likes you, not her, what's the point in her getting upset over it? He doesn't like her anyway, so it doesn't matter. Just... If you really, REALLY still like him, and he asks you out, do whatever your heart tells you to do. Hope this helps, and if you have any additional questions, ask me.

Q: can anyone explain this to me?
(Note: HTML is allowed except for the and tags. Other tags can just plain screw up your page... we do NOT offer support for people who mess things up because they use non-text elements in their bio.)
I just don't get it...I was trying to put a cursor in my column but it didn't work :o(
A: This means that scripts (such as a script used to change the face of a cursor) and embed tags (such as those used to embed music in your web page) are not allowed on Advicenators. Sorry, you can't change your cursor on here. Hope this helps you,
Q: I forgot the word, but I'm like a sickness freak. Whenever I cough I think I have pertussis. ANd I always think about cancer and bad illnesses. How can I make this stop?
A: You're a hypochondriac? Well, all I can say is assure yourself that you're not sick. Try not to think about illnesses all the time. Think positive! Eat healthily, exercise, and you should be just fine. =) If you have any additional questions, feel free to talk to me.
Q: Is it ok for a guy to stay out late partying if his girl is sitting at home waiting for him?
A: No, not really. I mean, I wouldn't like someone to do that and leave me home, then come back later than usual.
Q: I'm interesting in pursuing a career in Psycology in the future. Are there any good psycology schools in or near by New York City?
A: Ok. Here's what you do:
1) Go to http://www.google.com
2) Type in something similar to: "Psychology Schools, NYC"
3) Read through the results
Q: Hey, im 5'1 and i like my body weight the way it is right now, but my stomach is fat (the fattest part of my body), and unproportional to my body. i really wanna get a flat stomach like i used to, but i dont want to loose any weight. Is there any way to lose the fat on my stomach? or make it look better?
thank you
A: Crunches are excellent for losing fat around your stomach. It takes awhile to see results (as most excerises), but in the end it's worth while. Do maybe five crunches a day, once in the morning and once at night. Gradually work up to ten, fifteen, even twenty crunches a day morning and night. Make sure you drink lots of water to reduce bloating so it makes your tummy look smaller. =) Hope this helps,
Q: how do you put someone into a mount, like what do you do. And what do the back and front spotters have to do?
A: When you put someone into a mount, you're... how do I explain this... Ok, you're putting them into a shoulder-sit, or a shoulder stand, something like that. Front and back spotters stand infront and behind of the two or three people doing the stunt to make sure that if the person doing the stunt falls, they'll be there to catch them. If you have anymore questions, feel free to IM me.
Q: Does it look okay to leave part of your hair down and the front half pulled back in a bun?
A: Yeah, of course it is! I think it's cute, actually. Maybe you could curl your hair a little and leave some fringe to frame your face.
Q: Hey, I noticed that you live in North Carolina just as I do, would it be rude of me to ask what part?
Like, are you allowed to tell what city you live in
I just thought it was kinda cool that were around the same age and live in the same state.
A: I live in Greenville, North Carolina. Love the state, love the people, and never want to leave.
Q: A weirdo we all know tries to get me into trouble at school. He thinks me and my friend make fun of him....we dont. He wont take a hint or the truth he thinks we lie. What should I do?
ITS EVIL TIM CURRY!
A: Just tell him to his face: "Stop trying to get me in trouble. We aren't talking about you, you're just paranoid. Now go fart on yourself." See what he does then. If he keeps acting weird and trying to get you in trouble, proceed to kill him with a baseball bat.
PS. I hate Tim Curry. He needs to get a life that consists of things other than trying to get other people in trouble and being a Momma's Boy.
