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.

A: You can't put chatterboxes on advice columns anymore because it takes a while to load on slower computers. This is not to annoy you, it's to help keep the site moving fast.

Q: The last time i had a boyfriend was when i was in 6th grade. I am now going into 9th. I am not an ugly girl and i have gotten hit on a couple of times. I also have alot of guy friends. I can manage to get guys to be my friends but not to ask me out or be into me that way. what could i do to work on this and improve my chances in getting a boyfriend? (P.S. i try to be myself around everyone)

A: Maybe it's because they're intimidated by you. All boys, even though they may act bold and daring, are scared witless when it comes to asking girls out. Just flirt with them a bit to let them know you're interested. Once they're pretty sure you're interested I'm almost certain they'll ask you out.

Q: i find myself never being able to sleep until like 2 or 3 in tha morning everynight..i cant ever sleep so i just go on AIM or something like that..any advice? i appreciate it. thanks

A: Try taking a warm bubble bath right before you go to bed. If you still can't sleep try reading a boring book like... an old English school book. Another thing you could do is listen to a classical music CD. Hope this helps!

Q: would it be bad to be a pimp for halloween???

A: Lol, of course not! My cousin was a pimp for his Bar Mitzvah and everyone thought it was the cutest thing, lol. He had some of his girl friends hang around with him for the whole "pimp" effect, lol. Have fun

Q: How do you get a picture in your column? I keep trying to upload a picture of me and it keeps saying its larger than 15K.

A: If your picture is too large to upload, the alternative is to first upload it to a file-hosting site (ex. Geocities). After you've uploaded the picture to that site, place a link to the URL. Ex. http://www.geocities.com/yourusername/yourpic.jpg
If you have any additional questions feel free to ask! Hope this helps.

Q: does anyone know any good techniques for basketball to get ur left hand stronger?

~i rate good~

A: Tie your right hand behind you back and just dribble with your left hand. Do this for as long as you can without stopping (about 15 - 20 minutes). Believe me, it's simple, but it works. When you get good at it start doing in between the legs dribbling. Another good way to improve this is moving the ball around your waist as fast as you can while keeping the ball on your fingertips.

Q: volleyball tryouts are this week and im really scared i wont make it. I think about it non-stop and it gets me even more nervous and upset.
How do i stop this!?!
HELP

A: Don't be nervous about it, it's just tryouts. You either make it or you don't. If you make it great, if you don't, that's great too. Try again next year and don't lose any sleep over it. Just practice all you can this week, drink lots of water and Gatorade, and everything should be fine. Walk into the gym with your head held up high and be confident in yourself.

Q: what are some excersises or cardio i could do?

A: You mean indoor or outdoor exercises? Some good cardio/aerobic exercises are jogging in place, running, playing sports, etc. Just go outside and run around or something. Lol, hope this helps.

Q: hello. all my life i have been made fun of because of my muslim faith. people always say, there is bin laden, get him.they think i support the 9/11 attacks. my parents support them but i don't. please help me get through this before i go crazy.

A: They don't know what they're talking about. Just live your life like you normally would. 9/11 was terrible but Muslims weren't the ones responsible, Al-Quada was. People like that are ignorant and biased and need to be ignored. Hope this helps.

Q: Hey, just wondering...what is 'moonshine'? I know its some kind of really strong alcohol, but does anyone know exactly what it is? My boyfriend wants to try it & I'm worried what will happen if he drinks too much of it!

A: Moonshine is extremely strong liquor. I've heard it originated in the mountains of North Carolina from my grandpa, lol. He used to make it. It's illegal to make / drink, so I'd advise him not to use it.

Q: I don't really do that well on tests and I try an study an hour the night before tests. What are some things to help me score higher on tests?

A: Notecards! Notecards were my life savers this past year. Just take notes in class and make questions out of them. For example, on my Greek/Roman History test one of the notecards I made was: "Which Roman emperor elected his horse to the senate?" I wrote this question on one side in ink. On the other side I wrote: "Caligula" in pencil so it was hard to see from the other side. Just flip them infront of you every night a week before the test and you'll have it memorized. Hope this helps! - Sporkster

Q: For everybody out there why do you support Bush? If you don't why don't you?

A: I support Bush because of what he supports. He is Pro-life and wants to make abortion illegal. As far as I know, he wants to conserve the values that our forefathers set down in the Constitution. He has morals. Even though my vote doesn't count, I support him all the way. The reason I don't support Kerry is because he is a two-faced liar. He'll say he's totally against something, then say he's for it. He's Pro-Choice also, which is something that I as a Christian am totally against. I would also not vote for him because of his choice in a Vice President. I'm sure all of the North Carolinians on this site know what I'm talking about when I say he hasn't done crap for us as a senator. He never goes to votes. He doesn't CARE about us. All he became senator for was to get to the Vice Presidency/Presidency spot. Well, there's my rant for the day.

GO BUSH!

Q: Alright, I'm a Christian and last night me and my friend were talking about her dad bieng in the hospital and I told her that I would pray for him, and she said "whats the use in praying since God allready has your life planned out for you"...that totally made sence to me, I mean what is praying going to change. I believe in praying for your sins...but now I'm stuck on this one. What do you guys think?
-Zero

A: Praying isn't JUST for asking for others well-being. Praying is time for you to talk to God, to ask him forgiveness for your sins. Also, God can change whatever He wants to. Nothing is set in stone unless He says it is. Pray for this guy, I'm sure he'd appreciated it. -Sporkster

Q: Okay...for the past 3 days I have had nausea, indigestion, and some dirrahea!! I have run out of ideas and don't know what else to do!! Can someone give me some suggestions on what to do??

A: Get some Pepto Bismal. Contrary to popular belief, this actually DOES work for something other than getting co-workers to tango. It may be IBS, so if it keeps on for more than a week I suggest you see a doctor.

Q: hey, i heard this song on the radio that i love. but i don't know who wrote/performed it (it was a woman though).

"i held your hand through all of these years"
Anybody know?
i rate

A: Ooo, good song. That's "My Immortal" - Evanescence. They're a really good group. Some other songs by them that I would suggest are "Bring Me to Life", "Going Under", and (well, this one's by Seether but it's featuring Amy Lee) "Broken". - Sporkster
