I did not write the book of love,
and I do not claim to be full of wisdom.

I sure do make mistakes,
but I live and learn!

I try to let no one come to me,
without leaving happier. [:

and distinguish yourself.
Don't even think about
retiring from the World,
until the World will be
sorry that you retire!"

♥[?]♥ my dads in prison for beating up my mom and for possesion of drugs he has asked to see me i really miss him even though his done wrong should i go and see him or not for all the misery his put my family in.
That's Really a decision only YOU can make. Not to seem Rude, but it seems as if he DEFINITELY deseRves to be wheRe he's at!! And yes, I'm SHORE he's caused a lot of pain to youR entiRe family!!! On the otheR hand.. he's *YOUR* fatheR, and as unfoRtunate as it is.. he WILL NOT live foReveR.. no one does. In saying that, no one should have the Right in telling you that you CAN NOT see him!!! Moments with ouR paRents aRe pRecious, so I say if you have an oppoRtunity to see him, take advantage of it. Goodluck deciding! Hopefully I've been of at least SOME help!! =D

♥[?]♥ Hey, this isn't to put you down or anything! But, why do you capitalize your "R"s in the middle of sentences? I mean, is it your trademark? Or is your "R" key broken? (lol)

Just wonderin'...
Hahah! I get asked this allllll the time now. It took like two months befoRe anyone questioned it. Nooo... my "R" key is not bRoken!!! It's just something I choose to do! I got the idea fRom my actual handwRiting. When I wRite on papeR, I do my "R"'s, "D"'s, and "N"'s all ALWAYS in capitol letteRs, so I just figuRed it'd be cute to caRRie it oveR to the net. I don't do it on AIM though, so if you eveR message me [like you should feel fRee to do!! =D] you'll have no woRRies!! The fiRst time someone commented on it... they actually said it was my "TRademaRk", and wheneveR they noticed the capitol "R"'s all oveR the place they just automatically knew it was me -- And I found that fascinating, to be honest. I'm *THIS* young, and I alReady have my own tRademaRk!? ;D Also, I just always thought it looked neat, and it was ceRtainly diffeRent... Thanks foR the question though.. haha.. that was cute! And have a column?? I'll add you; if you'Re alReady on it... =D

♥[?]♥ okay i want to look really good before i go to high school. i'm 5'1", i weigh 104 lbs, i have curly red hair that's like boob level, light blue eyes and yea. i was thinking about maybe chopping my hair to a little above my shoulders and layer it, then braid my hair when it's wet to give it that cute summer crimped look. idk, oppinions or suggestions? i have like no idea really what else to do. i just really want to impress my crush if ya kno wat i mean, lol
Oh My God, you aRe too cute!!! I think it would definitely look nice if you cut youR haiR a bit shoRteR and went with the layeRed look!!! And how about something like: http://community.webshots.com/photo/81768625/81769538XYIxaP --oR-- http://www.beautifulhairstyles.com/short/juliastiles01l.html --oR-- http://www.beautifulhairstyles.com/short/gwynethpaltrow01.html . And THIS: http://www.beautifulhairstyles.com/short/alysonhannigan01.html was almost identical to my immedaite thought upon Reading youR question. I just had a style pop into my head, and that is pRettie close to it actually. And how about highlights? Blonde would be cute!! I'm soRRie I can't be of moRe help to you! I'm shoRe you'll look gReat spoRting almost any do!! Goodluck deciding!! =D

♥[?]♥ Whenever I put eyeliner on, there's no affect. It just looks like I have black stuff all over my eye. Does anyone have any tips to put it on better? Thanks!
When it comes to liquid eyelineR oR pencil eyelineR, it's just a peRsonal pRefeRence. HoweveR, if you ask... chances aRe that most people will tell you that pencil is a betteR choice. It's a gReat staRt foR a beginneR who is just getting used to it. If you mess up, pencil is A WHOLE LOT easieR to clean up and Re-do than liquid would be. And if you plan on caRRying it aRound in a puRse oR pocket.. you also face a chance that the liquid may Ruin [though I don't suggest caRRying eyelineR in youR pocket]. And if you do mess it up, just take a tissue and slowly Run it along the Rim of youR eyelid.. it'll come Right up. Now, the desiRed effect of eyelineR is to cReate the illusion of daRkness just above the lashline to enhance the look of the lashes. To apply it, gently hold youR eyelid down, and staRt at the inneR paRt of the lid [closest to youR nose]. Then just simply dRaw a thin line smoothly and evenly along the uppeR lid, getting as close to the lashes as possible. Also, make shoRe you dRaw the line all the way to the outside coRneR. It will pRobably take some pRactice -- it took me a while at fiRst too... now I have it down incRedibly well. And now foR the pRoducts... peRsonally, I think the two best bRands of eyelineR out theRe aRe "MeRyl NoRman" and "Beautique". "MeRyl NoRman", which can only be puRchased at "The MeRyl NoRman Cosmetic Studios", is pRicey [typically $8.50 - $15.00], but it REALLY IS good stuff. It goes on wondeRfully, and stays on all day!!! On the otheR hand... I happen to think that "Beautique" is INCREDIBLE, howeveR, I've ONLY seen "Beautique" at "Sally's". And "Beautique" is only .99 cents. TRUST ME.. I would NEVER EVER EVER buy cRap make up!!! I get only the best, so please, please, please, please DON'T let this dollaR pRice thRow you off - you'd be cheating youRself out of the best pRoduct out theRe!! I'd *PREFER* "Beautique" out of ANY otheR bRand of eyelineR!! I could easily go out and buy a $15.00 pencil, but I'd RATHER get "Beautique"! "Beautique" glides on smoothly and REALLY LASTS ALLLLL DAY!!! I CAN NOT pRomote this item enough!! And if you still have doubts... foR only .99 cents.. it's woRth a shot!! Goodluck!! I hope I helped!! =D

♥[?]♥ Can someone explain the bases to me plz? I feel really stupid, but whatever.
EveRyone has theiR own views on this appaRently, because eveRyone usually seems to have a diffeRent answeR. HOWEVER, I've always known them to be:
*FiRst - Kissing.
*Second - Mutual mastuRbation.
*ThiRd - ORal sex.
*Home - Sexual inteRcouRse.
Hope this claRifies!

♥[?]♥ Does anybody know if the movie 'Robots' Is a kids movie? like 4 and 8 year old movie?
I'd say so, so if it's foR kids of that age gRoup, I'm shoRe they'll thoRoughly enjoy it. OR maybe it's foR you?? But what's wRong with that!? You can still enjoy it!! We'Re all entitled to some fun now and then!! =D

♥[?]♥ My French final is tomarrow and I accidently already turned my text book it. I know my vocabulary pretty well but need a tune up on my future and conditional tenses. Does anyone know of a site that can help me with them?
Heyyyy!! This: http://www.frenchtutorial.com/ seemed to be a good site!! No downloading.... no softwaRe RequiRed... and ABSOLUTELY FREE!!!! Click on STANDARD EDITION... and just keep clicking NEXT... I hope this helps you!!! I wish you all the best of luck!!! =D

♥[?]♥ Okay everyone i realized that he is nervous..John told me thats what he told him. But your comments did help except for the one about seeing a WOMANS ACTIVIST! Well,anyways i guess im gonna ask another question..

Where should we go for our next date??

we have already been to the movies twice and the mall and the park ... lol you can only do so much in this small town of mine!
Well how about the bowling alley?? Bike Riding?? A coffee shop?? An aRt museum?? A 'hidden' pond?? Hiking?? A skating Rink?? If you have some money, how about going out to dinneR?? OR if possible... why don't you MAKE him dinneR? If you'Re able and up to the challenge... you could tRy making stuffed chicken bReasts with potatoes of some soRt along with a fResh gaRden salad and sundaes foR desseRt! I'm shoRe he'd LOVE that!!! And I know youy said you've alReady gone to the paRk, but what did y'all do theRe? How about having a picnic?? That'd be soo cute!!! You could bRing a blanket and some music! And the lunch doesn't have to be difficult!!! You could keep it Really simple and stick to tuRkey sandwiches on slice bRead. then bRing along some snack foods, such as: gRapes, pRetzels, potatoe chips, stRing cheese, twinkies etc. You might also want to bRing a fRisbee, and some sidewalk chalk!! Sidewalk chalk might SEEM a bit lame.. but theRe's absolutely *NOTHING* wRong with havin' a little fun!!! And make shoRe you bRing a cRap load of bRead to feed the duckies!! Hopefully I've been of at least SOME help heRe!!! Goodluck deciding!! =D

♥[?]♥ this is embarassing to ask... but i really want to know

is using tampons like a guy fingering you? or will it loosen you up? and does it pop your cherry?

i will rate 5s because i really want to know...
Uhm.. it's not so much like being fingeRed, exactly. TRue, something is being inseRted, so if you look at it THAT way.. peRhaps. I suppose the diffeRence is the tampon stays in and the fingeR comes out?? And the tampon has a puRpose to seRve, and fingeRing simply supplies pleasuRe. Yes, it CAN loosen you up, but not by a WHOLE lot, and YES.. you would Run a Risk of.. "popping youR cheRRy" Hope this claRifies!! =D

♥[?]♥ I've been hooking up with this guy for about 3 monthes now. His birthday is in a few weeks (he'll be 17) and I have NO idea what to get him. We're not going out... just hooking up. His style is preppy and he's into sports too. Any ideas for gifts? I was thinking maybe a good cologne... any of you know anything that smells amazing? (I'm willing to spend up to around $35-$40)Thanks!!!
FoR a stoRe bought gift, you could tRy getting him a cute wRist watch, some posteRs, DVD's, a leatheR jacket, nice cologne, oR a gift caRd. And how about taking him out to dinneR? OR... if he dRives... definitely go foR a *GAS CARD*. Gas caRds can be pRicey, but you also neveR mentioned youR age, which kind of gives me nothing to go on heRe. And if you wanna get cReative, how 'bout you just go to the paRk?? BRing a blanket and some music! And pack a picnic lunch, which doesn't have to be difficult : tuRkey sandwiches on slice bRead, gRapes, pRetzels, twinkies etc. And make shoRe you bRing a cRap load of bRead to feed the duckies!! -OR- anotheR suggestion... MAKE him something to eat, if you'Re up to the challenge. You could tRy stuffed chicken bReasts with potatoes of some soRt with a fResh gaRden salad and sundaes foR desseRt! And to be cute, you could always make him a posteR -- use maRkeRs, photogRaphs, quotes and so on. Bottom line, it's the thought that counts, and whateveR you do I'm shoRe he'll love!! Just be cReative and have fun!! Hope I helped!!

comment please
Jesus LoRd... tell this physco to back off! I undeRstand she needs help.. but you simply CAN NOT help heR, so imfoRm heR she is definitely wasting heR time coming to you!

♥[?]♥ ok im j/w is constantly biting your lips until they bleed then biting them more or always pickiking at scabs until they;re completley off a bad habbit like cutting? i know itz a bad habbit, but is it ANYTHING likr cutting!
Thanks a bunch! :D
~*jemmy*~ ((ps i DO NOT cut))
It's *NOTHING* like cutting WHATSOEVER!! It's NOWHERE *NEAR* as seveRe... but it's still NOT good, and a bit odd. ;D It's just plain unhealthy, and it should tRy to be avoided. Hope.. this.. helps!? =D

♥[?]♥ ok this probally going to sound really gross or whatever but..when i shave my arm pits theres still like black dots...and my arm pits usally get really red...what should i do to get rid of the black dots and redness
It's sounds like it's just RazoR buRn. It would pRobably be a good idea foR you to expeRiment with diffeRent types of shaving cReam. I Recommend tRying Skintimate shaving gel. And as foR RazoRs... I peRsonally have been using BIC lately, and I neveR have any soRt of iRRitation whatsoeveR. Of couRse, it could be completely diffeRent with you, so ya neveR know. Just tRy new things eveRy once in a while. And always make shoRe to shave in the showeR when plenty of wateR is available, and neveR eveR dRy shave. Also, it's always best to shave in the diRection of the haiR's gRowth, and geneRally this is downwaRds. AfteR you feel you've shaved eveRything all away, I say give it one swipe upwaRds, just to go in foR a full clean, and things should be good. Hopefully this has been of SOME help to you!! =D

♥[?]♥ Ok, I'm a really bad procrastinator if I'm really not interested in doing something.

Tips to help? I know it's bad...how did you overcome it?

Thanks!
Make a schedule, and stick to it. Go home immediately afteR school, and staRt youR homewoRk Right away. Find a quiet space wheRe you will not be inteRRupted, and make ABSOLUTELY shoRe to tuRn off youR cellulaR, computeR and television! Do not allow youRself to go anywheRe oR do anything OTHER than schoolwoRk til all of it is completely done. It may seem like a silly, oveRly stRict solution, but hey... school takes dedication, haRdwoRk and effoRt -- that's the only way. It may seem like a pain in the ass now, but it will all pay off in the end. Goodluck to you. Hopefully I've helped out some! =D

♥[?]♥ I've been dating my boifriend for 5 months now and he just moved to tennesse a month ago. And i dont really like this whole long distance relationship thing....but i really love him alot....But i dont know whats going to happen when he starts school down there. (like who hes going to meet) so can you please give me advice on this? thanks
You failed to mention youR age in this question, which complicates things a bit, since I don't know what I'm dealing with heRe. HoweveR, if you claim to "love" him so much, I would PRAY you can AND do tRust him! And since you caRe so much foR him, I HOPE to deaR God you've Realized you shouldn't be giving youR heaRt away someone who isn't willing to give you theiRs. If you'Re staRting to have doubts though, you definitely need to talk this oveR with him. Long distance Relationships aRe extRemely tough foR EVERYONE, let alone young teenageRs. Make shoRe to let him know that you Really *DO* caRe about him, but the distance is too gReat. Bottom line, you simply CAN NOT stay in a Relationship just because ONE paRtneR doesn't want it to end. You need to do what's best foR YOU!! And if THAT is bReaking up with youR cuRRent boyfRiend.. then so be it. PeRhaps it'll be a betteR thing than you weRe expecting. You guys could end up missing out on something that might veRy well be extRemely wondeRful; it's simply unfaiR to you BOTH. Just bRing those points up to him - I'm shoRe he will undeRstand wheRe you'Re coming fRom on this. I wish you the best!! Hopefully I've helped in SOME way! =D
