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. [:

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

♥[?]♥ Im in chorus at my school. I love singing and the class is sooo fun..my teacher is the best and i love singing at concerts. We just did The Phantom of the Opera and it was fun! I know that sounds corny but i really like it. I love being on stage. Well we had to sing for the graduates this yr and i felt embarrassed. We had to wear these lame chorus shirts and blue skirts. Everyone was laughing or snickering why we were singing..i felt soo embarrassed. All my friends make fun of me and im tired of it. Should i just quit chorus or what?
Don't eveR eveR eveR let someone else talk you out of doing something you love!!! A lot of people in this woRld don't have... oR at least.. HAVEN'T FOUND something that bRings them sheeR joy, so if you've found youRs... go with it, and neveR quit!!! Don't eveR let someone else tRy to Run youR life in such a manoR.. it's no one else's peRogative but youR OWN!!!

♥[?]♥ Could rope jumping be counted as cardio excersizes?
Of couRse!!! It's a *fabulous cardio vasculaR woRk out!! =D

♥[?]♥ ok if i have unprotected sex(stupid and dumb i know)...but the guy cums in my mouth and not in me....can i still have gotten pregnant?? i need serious SERIOUS help!
You can not get pRegnant if he only cam in youR mouth...

♥[?]♥ I have really, really fine hair. It's lately been getting really really frizzy. Its a little below the shoulder and there's a little layers on it. It's also light-medium brown. Can you give me any suggestions to stop it from being frizzy and not take a lot of time doing it?
Might I suggest "FRizz-Ease", by John FRieda. It can be puRchased at youR local gRoceRy stoRe and places like CVS, Rite Aid, WalgReens and so on foR about $5.99.

♥[?]♥ im not saying im fat but i just wanted to go on a diet that would help me lose some stomach fat off. i have some rolls on my stomach and the rest of my body is fine and i was wondering what kinds of foods i should eat and avoid and what workouts are great.. and if you say try running outside i cant but i can use the stairs in the house that i have
It's completely possible to shed some weight by simply choosing healthieR foods!! TRy cutting soda out of youR diet COMPLETELY! You'll be AMAZED at how much weight loss is accomplished by simply doing that!! And if you eat stuff like cake and chips... nix those, and gRab an apple oR some stRing cheese instead. CRackeRs and yoguRt aRe also good foR diets. Always Replace ALL WHITE BREAD with WHEAT bRead!! White bRead is the ENEMY; L.O.A.D.E.D with sugaR, just LOADED!! Also, it's impoRtant to RemembeR to dRink LOTS of wateR, and *DO* get some daily exeRcise. Best of luck to you!! =D

♥[?]♥ Hey everyone. Does anyone have Duran Duran's most recent album, titled 'Astronaut'? I like two of the tracks on it but thats not the same as buying the whole thing. I love their musical style but I'm still not sure. Do you think I should buy it? Is it any good?
Heyyy!! No, I don't have it.. but you can listen to a 30 second clip of eveRy song on the album by visiting: http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/B0002X591A/qid=1116693320/sr=2-2/ref=pd_bbs_b_2_2/102-8529764-9215303 Hope this helps!! =D

♥[?]♥ what can happen if you consume more then 4 advil at a time? i jusy had 5 advil at a time, can i puke or what, i need an answer asap
ARe you awaRe that just because you take 5 oR even 10 aspRin if you choose to, youR chances of getting Rid of youR headache aRe NO moRe likely than if you took the Recommended TWO?? Taking moRe than two is simply oveRdosing and completely unnecessaRy. It's VERY dangeRous, and it's definitely not something you should be toying with: it's bad foR youR oRgans, and thins youR blood, thus causing a heaRt attack..... Hopefully this has been of at least SOME help to you!! Take caRe, and stay safe!!

♥[?]♥ I recentley bought an iPod.
I only have 44 songs on it, and I can't think of any more songs to add! Mostly all the songs I have on there are emo/rock. Im looking for some good songs that are in the Indie and Techno genre. Thanks!
Jesus, I ***LOVE*** Techno music, and I have a *GRIP* load of *KICK ASS* suggestions foR you!!! And these aRe all "PURE" Techno jams!! One's that'd be blasting at a Rave.. if that helps you undeRstand the style...

♥[?]♥ okay im 16and me and my boyfriend have been goin out 4 2 years now we had a massive argument da ova day and he put a knife to my throat and ses he would kill me if i shouted at him like that again i really like him thought and he dont always act like that but now im scared just to have an argument with him ive talked 2 him about it and he ses im being stupid bt i dont wana break up with him what do i do?
WHAT!?!?! What kind of a man would loweR himself to ResoRting to violence against a female!?!? That's the *MOST* pathetic thing I've *EVER* heaRd in my *LIFE*!!! Why on *EARTH* would you desiRe to be with someone who tReats you like *SHIT*?!?! He *OBVIOUSLY* holds *NO* Respect foR you of *ANY* kind!! I *STRONGLY* suggest gatheRing up all the pieces of youR bRoken heaRt, and walking away fRom this Relationship!! THEEEENNNNN file foR assault, and get a RestRaining oRdeR!!! And if you don't feel like his violence towaRds you is Reason enough to leave him, then think of it this way: Love is RecipRocal, Hun... it's *NOT* just one sided. Why on *EARTH* would you botheR to give youR heaRt away to someone who's not willing to give you theiRs!? You need to use youR head, and think of youR OWN well being heRe!!! I wish you the best of luck!!

♥[?]♥ hi, i have no idea what to do about my eyebrows. i tried to pluck, but t hurts too much. i bought once of those eyebrows fixing shaving things, ut they dont work. my mom doesn't let me go to a saloon or anything. what should i do?
thanks in advane!
I have "line bRows"; they'Re baRely theRe, so obviously I pluck them alllllllll away -- and it doesn't huRt me *ONE* bit! If you've neveR done this befoRe, I always Recommend *AFTER* a showeR one night, hold a *WET* and *HOT* cloth oveR youR eyebRows foR about 2 minutes -- the showeR allows youR poRes to open up, Releasing haiR a bit easieR, and then the hot cloth will loosen them up moRe, say if you dRied youR haiR befoRe doing youR bRows, ya know? This still will moRe than likely huRt some, but not *NEARLY* as much as it would have had you *NOT* used the hot cloth. It's kind of a bummeR that theRe's kind of no way aRound the pain at the beginning, but you just have to tell youRself that "pain is beauty", and it will all be woRth it in the end. AfteR youR done plucking them, oR even while you'Re STILL plucking them, the aRea aRound it tuRns a deep puRple and swells -- which is completely fine, and should be *GONE* by moRning, say foR school. AfteR a couple times of plucking them.. let's say ten.. you will have damaged the neRve endings, and the pain will just go away.. to the point wheRe afteR 30 times oR so.. you will have no pain at all -- like me; and that is a good thing!! PeRsonally, I think it's *DEFINITELY* woRth it, but that's just *my* opinion. Also, it's extRemely impoRtant to have good tweezeRs!! I *HIGHLY* suggest getting a slanted tip one; it's Really cRucial that you'Re comfoRtable with youR weapon - *haiR is the enemy*!! I took the libeRty of finding you some sites with tips and additional infoRmation; I think you'll find them useful: http://ak.essortment.com/eyebrowplucking_rdzs.htm ---AND--- http://www.ehow.com/how_2824_pluck-eyebrows.html . Take this slow, foR if you OVERPLUCK, you simply have to wait foR the haiR to gRow in again; and you can only fill in the mistakes with pencil, so take youR time. I wish you all the best of luck! Hopefully I've been of some help to you. Know that you can always come to me if you need anything else.. =D

♥[?]♥ I just had to put my cat to sleep due to blindness and its hard for me, because hes older than i am!!!!! he's 17 years old and i've had him since he was born. he was just the sweetest cat ever and he was sort of my best friend. does anyone have any tips of how to make this pain go away??


sorry i sound so dumb...lol. please help!!
AWW! I'm so soRRie; I know how you feel.. death has been all aRound me lately. I know theRe's no woRds I can say that will bRing youR kittie back, oR even help A WHOLE LOT, but just know that I am thinking of you. PeRhaps you ought to take a look at this site: http://www.belairemanor.com/home/rainbow2.html [click "Click Here To Begin]; I think it should at least be of some ReassuRance. Best wishes!

♥[?]♥ hi my dad comes home high everyday. i know he smokes cigars and i was wondering if you can get high off cigars? or is he doing other stuff?
ARe you positive he's coming home high? You can't get high of cigaRs, DeaR, soRRie to say. I guess he's doing.. "otheR stuff".. =/

♥[?]♥ ok ya'll this is a long one but please help me out and i'll rate ya high! ok im 16/f and ive been single for a pretty long time compared to usual. but lately ive been really crushin on this guy in one of my classes. hes adorable! he has big brown eyes and such a cuuuute smile! and his body is freakin sexy! but anyways i think he might like me too. like i sometimes see him looking at me when i turn my head to look at him (haha)! and whenever i walk in to my class he smiles such a cute smile at me and says heyy really sweetly. but see the thing is he has a lot of other girl friends, we'll like friends that are girls and they are all really pretty and really stuck up and sort of sluts (no offense). and he like smokes a lot and stuff. and i dont know if he likes me (if he does actually like me) because he really does, or if he just wants to have sex with me and stuff. but see i dont talk to him too much either. like were on opposite sides of the classroom. and i mean we've talked a couple of times and ya we were flirting, but i dont know if its normal for him. so my question is do any of you think that i should try and go for him (like give him my number, talk to him more, and ya know other things) or just move on and forget about it. ive had a couple of boyfriends like him before but i cant say i was too happy with him. i really just dont know if he is worth it ya know? what do yall think? thanks yall!
I think you definitely ought to give it a shot. ShoRe, you *may have* had boyfRiends in the past that *seem* similiaR to him, but with all do Respect, it's kind of unfaiR to judge him so pRematuRaly. And so what if he smokes? I can *TOTALLY* see how that might be a tuRn off.. and *YES*.. it *IS* a bad tRait... BUT.. that doesn't necessaRily make him a bad peRson. Just keep an open mind and give this guy a chance. You can *ASSUME* he's only out foR sex... but honestly... that's just a suspiscion until peRsonally *pRoven* otheRwise. You just definitely can not cheat youRself out of something that could potentionally be Really gReat by thRowing out some eaRly accusations.; that wouldn't be faiR to youRself. Hopefully I've been of some help to you heRe! I wish you all the best of luck!! Go get 'em, TigeR!! =D

♥[?]♥ If i were to babysit, where could i like help? I only have my 2 little cuzins, and i dont want to ask for money right up-front. And i dont have anyone around my neighborhood to do this. where should i go? what should i do?
If baby sitting is an option, you definitely ought to tRy that. HoweveR, baby sitting is a seRious matteR. Make shoRe you know exactly how to peRfoRm CPR on infants and toddleRs in case of emeRgency, and once that is all settled, you can add that to youR Resume, which would be teRRific. PaRents aRe wayyyy moRe likely to give you theiR business if they feel theiR child will be safe with you. TRy making a bunch of flieRs and distRibuting them on the bullentin boaRds of youR closest couple of gRoceRy stoRes; fRee advceRtising -- that's what it's theRe foR. Also, you can tRy putting an ad in the papeR, if possible. Best of luck to you! =D

♥[?]♥ Ohkay, I have a very weird problem. I can't put on eye liner! I always mess up! Any tips?
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

♥[?]♥ What are the different little codes and thing syou can do on myspace like make your text move. Please tell me..

Don't let some jealous baby contRol youR life. If you aRe close to this guy.. don't let anything oR anyone come between you. Who gives a flying fuck what she thinks... he obviously does not need a peRson like that in his life anyhow... too much immatuRity and dRama going on theRe. She has *NO* Right to tRy and dictate youR fRiendship oR involvement with anotheR human being... you need to tell heR this.. Hopefully eveRything woRks out!
