ask mackenzie





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. [:



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

♥[?]♥ I was just curious to know if it was wierd that Im in 8th grade and have never had a first kiss? Part of it is that I am too nervous but I just wanted to know...ThAnX I RaTe HiGh!! Maddie 15/f
FiRst of all.. you'Re only, what... 13, 14?? You have PLENTY of time foR all of that!! And what you'Re feeling is **definitely** NOT uncommon. Be it 12, 17, oR 20... not having been kissed is not as big of a deal as you might assume. I know *TONS* and *TONS* of people who aRe aRound 20-21, and have STILL neveR even held hands with someone. You shouldn't woRRie oveR this, Maddie, you'Re most ceRtainly *NOT* alone! =D

♥[?]♥ Do you know how you can get a website for free?? MY friends all are telling me to get a website but I don't know how!! I would love if you could give me some ideas on what type of website (other than xanga and piczo...). Thankx so much!! mAdDiE age 15
Well, if it's an online jouRnal you'd like, you can tRy: http://www.xanga.com --OR-- http://www.livejournal.com --OR-- http://www.deadjournal.com .

If you'd puRely like *JUST* a photo album, you could tRy http://www.picturetrails.com --OR-- http://www.photobucket.com .

Goodluck? Hopefully I've been of some help heRe. You know how to Reach me if you need anything moRe! =D

♥[?]♥ so im having a sweet 16 and im inviting 64 girrls...but only 40 guys or something like that. a lot of those guys are guys i dont talk with often so im guessing more guys (like 20 ) wont show up. should i invite other guys just so i have a good amount of guys at the party?
I think it all depends on what you'Re doing, and the theme you'Re following. FoR instance, if y'all plan to hang out and watch movies.. then it doesn't matteR much. If it's going to be like a little ball... then it'd be best to have a matching numbeR of both sexes, yes. You shouldn't Really woRRie too much, I'd say; you'Re alReady inviting tons of people, so I'm shoRe it'll be a blast!! Hopefully this has been of some help to you! HAPPiE SWEET 16; make the most of it!! It only comes aRound once!! =D

♥[?]♥ where are some good places where i can download music onto my laptop?(it doesnt have to be free)and how does this work? if i want to listen to downloaded songs do i have to go on the website or do i not have to be on the internet? im asking because for my sweet 16 im thinking of doing the music from my laptop. is it continuous play or do i have to manually click the song? can i plug big speakers into the laptop? thank you for your help...5's to everyone somewhat helpful
http://www.bearshare.com It's fRee! *NEVER EVER* given me *ANY* type of pRoblems whatsoeveR!! And the songs download, depending on youR computeR, in about 3 seconds to 40 seconds. And all you do is simply download BeaRshaRe itself, ya know? Then seaRch foR the aRtist; it's *Really* simple, and you'll undeRstand no pRoblem! Once the songs aRe downloaded, you can eitheR choose to play them ON BeaRshaRe, oR you can download Winamp, at http://www.winamp.com and THAT allows you to put 346254238427853 songs on a list... to be played Randomly, continously, and so on. And yes, you CAN indeed plug speakeRs into youR laptop!! Hope this helps!!

♥[?]♥ this guy has liked me for practically two years now, but hes so shy and he never did anything except tell me he liked me. well now we've got this big dance coming up and i think hes gonna ask me. the only thing is that he is kinda weird and listens to all those really sick songs by sublime..no offense to the fans out there..but he is still really cute and mysterious..and really nice..do you think i should give him a chance? i rate...
Of couRse you should; I don't see why you wouldn't. You can't Really judge someone by the type of music they pRefeR, so spend the evening with him and see moRe of what he's about. =D

♥[?]♥ so last nite i went to my friends party, and there was a boy. lets name him jordan. so jordan was reeally cool and my friend thinks he was showing off infront of me. except the problem is that i will never see him again, and i really l;iked jordan. what should i do? should i ask my friend who held the party for his screen name and maybe have a long ship with him????
Yes; you should. Goodluck; go get 'em, TigeR!

♥[?]♥ any on know how i can keep my shoulder length hair of my face
Well, you could tRy styling gel to hold them back, oR simply clip them back with clips oR bobby pins [if you'd like them to be less visible]. You could also tRy putting youR haiR up in a bun, pony tail, oR pigtails. You could also go get it pRofessionally layeRed, that might be a good solution. SoRRie I can't be of moRe help, but I wish you luck!

♥[?]♥ does anyone know where i can get some myspace backgrounds?
Hey; you could tRy http://www.backgroundcity.com/ ---AND--- http://www.freewebtemplates.com/graphics.php?id=18 Hope this helps??

♥[?]♥ Any tricks 2 clean food stains on clothes?
Hot wateR and soap. This pRobably isn't the most cleveR of answeRs, but I've found it to always woRk foR me. Though I took the libeRty of seaRching online, and I found two websites you might be inteRested in looking at: http://cleaning.lifetips.com/subcat/56292/removing-clothing-stains-odors/removing-food-stains-odors/ ---AND--- http://members.tripod.com/~Barefoot_Lass/index-2.html Goodluck; Hope this helps!

♥[?]♥ I'm really bored, and sick of the websites I've been viewing. Does anyone know any cool websites that I can go to? Thanks! I rate 5's for helpful answers!

♥[?]♥ I'mm stuck in the middle of my two friends... they always get in fights and its extremely annoying...i m better friends with one then the other, but i dont wanna take sides... wat do i do to stop this?

thx.
annoyed & in the middle
I wouldn't allow someone to eveR put me in a position like that. If these people aRe youR "fRiends", then I hope to God that they have moRe Respect foR you than that. It's *THEIR* pRoblem if they bReak up, it's simply unfair of them to tRy and make it *YOURS* PeRsonally, I would Refuse to have to select one fRiend and see who stays and who gets pissed and decides that this silly feud is woRth thRowing a fRiendship away oveR, if anyone at all. I wish you well! Hope I helped!!

♥[?]♥ Ok this guy really likes me. He asked me out today. I didnt want to hurt his feelings by sayin no so I said I dont know. And he started crying. I felt soo bad. What should i do?? He's 15/m and im 13/f. Please help. I rate high.
NoRmally, the tRuth is always the best Route to go, but in this case.. since he took it so haRd, peRhaps you should tell him that you'Re simply not looking foR a Relationship at this moment. TheRe's Really no point in holding a Relationship with someone you'Re not into; what would be the sense in that? Love is RecipRocal, it's not just one-sided, and both paRtneRs must be willing to give it theiR all in oRdeR foR things to woRk out. I wish you the veRy best of luck; hopefully this has been of some help to you!

♥[?]♥ Omg, can anyone help me? It's almost 3 in the morning where I'm at, and my gum's hurting really bad. It's in the back, where I used to have wisdom teeth. I got them taken out way back in Oct. and haven't had a problem since. It's not my tooth, it's my gum, but I don't know. I don't think it's gingivitis, because it's not red at all. I checked for anything there, like food, but found nothing. So far, I've tried brushing my teeth and using rinse, but that didn't help. I took some painkillers about a half hour ago, but it hasn't helped much either. Does anyone know what this could be? And what can I do to stop the pain? Thanks so much, I'll rate.
x3 Erin
Hmm. I honestly can not say I know how you feel, ERin, because I have NEVER EVER had pain in my teeth. HoweveR, I can sympathize foR you, but I know that's not a solution to youR pRoblem. The only thing I can think of [which isn't too genius] would be taking some Advil oR IbupRofen if accessible. Advil is gReat because it thins out youR blood, and will get it flowing betteR, which Reduces any swelling which might be pResent. And IbupRofen is just a MEAN painkilleR all togetheR. OtheR than that, you've done good by bRushing youR teeth, and you should simply tRy laying down and tRying to get some sleep. I'm Really soRRie I can't be of moRe help to you; I know this pRobably wasn't anything that you haven't alReady thought of, but I DO wish you well!! Hope I helped! Take caRe! =D

***EDIT***: Taking pain killeRs is the **BEST** thing to do in youR situation, until such time as you can get an opinion fRom youR dentist. If you have any doubts on whetheR pain killeRs aRe appRopRiate oR not... you can look it up online, and it'll say the same thing I told you -- It doesn't take a genius to know Advil Reduces swelling, so "perfectangelaly" gave you some pRettie cRappie advice, which when it comes to decReasing pain.. is Really unappReciated, I'm shoRe.

Feel better!

♥[?]♥ I forgot to get something for my mom because i didnt know it was mothers day - what should i do!? I cant make her anything special or buy anything.
Well, if you have two oR thRee bucks, how about puRchasing heR a caRd? OR if that is simply not an option, tRy making heR bReakfast. You could go with good ol' Betty CRockeR and heR bRownie mix! Just thRow a few scoops of ice cReam on top and it's guaRenteed you'll be heR favoRite; nothing says 'I Love You' like ice cReam fRom youR kid!! OR, if you'd like to go with something a bit moRe healthy, tRy some yummie belgian waffles!! WAFFLES OWN!!! But foR this, you must have a waffle iRon. If you do not, tRy boRRowing one fRom the neighboR. They'Re about $8.00 at WalmaRt if you magically happen to fall into some cash though. I've taken the libeRty of fetching MaRtha's Receipe foR beligan waffles, just in case you weRe inteRested: http://www.marthastewart.com/page.jhtml?type=content&id=recipe1093 . OR you could do the eveR populaR coupon book, and make heR coupons foR choRes you will do aRound the house without complaining oR talking back - that'd be cute. It doesn't Really matteR what you get heR -- youR Mommie knows you love heR, and that will neveR change. I know foR a fact she'll take a big hug oveR anything you could possibly thRow at heR - THAT would mean the most. Hope this helps! I wish you luck!

♥[?]♥ i think i have hyperhydrosis. i sweat nonstop even if i do nothing at all. i have no money but i heard of stuff that i could buy to prevent the sweating *armpits*. i asked my parents if i cud have some money to get it but they didn't let me and made me really embaressed.. well anyway they didn't let me buy the stuff so now since its like gonna be really hot soon i'm doomed to be walking around sweating under there all the time or wear lotsa lotsa clothes and still sweat but nobody will see but i will be really really uncomfortable if i wear layers and layers to cover the sweat in the summer. i've heard of putting on antipersperent and then putting baby powder ontop of it but it doesn't work, so what can i do to prevent the sweating? how come other people don't sweat and i do? i hate myself
This is a big pRoblem foR me also, so I know how you feel; I've been theRe, and it's not good. I Reccommend using an anti-peRspiRant deodoRant, followed by RegulaR baby powdeR [I've been saying that on this site since DAY ONE!]. The anti-peRspiRant of couRse helps to Reduce sweating, oR at least is said to, but in ouR case... neveR does. Then with the assistance of applying baby powdeR Right oveR the deodoRant, the poRes undeR youR aRm close, theRefoRe, moRe oR less tRapping the sweat in, so to speak. Honestly, this almost ALWAYS woRks foR me, but theRe *ARE* days when it's simply not good enough, and that can be a pain in the ass, so I usually make a point of caRRying some soRt of jacket. HeaRing that, theRe's this pRoduct people aRe talking about on this site, and even adveRtised on television called CeRtainDRi. Now, they say it can be puRchased at Wal-gReens, RiteAid, CVS, and WalmaRt, howeveR, EVERY SINGLE TIME I've been to the stoRe looking foR it, I neveR seen it on the shelves. NatuRally, this leads me to ask an employee wheRe I can find it, and they *always* tell me they've neveR heaRd of it, and they do not caRRy the pRoduct... which just leaves you speechless and with a feeling of, 'what now?' If the pRoblem peRsists, peRhaps you should consult a physician, who can supply you with pRopeR medication. Also, he can give you shots that kind of close up youR poRes, so sweating neveR Really happens again. I'm not shoRe if that's an option foR you, but I Recommend asking him foR moRe info. But whateveR you decide to do, goodluck fRom someone who knows EXACTLY what you'Re going thRough!! Hopefully I've been of some help; know that you can always come back to me if you need anotheR opinion. =D

♥[?]♥ if youre death afraid of the dark, do you sleep with the light on?
Yes. Always. =D

♥[?]♥ Why do you always do capital "R"'s? Also, i read that you have MSG sensitivity, so what CAN you eat? jw. thanks
Why do I capitilize my "R"'s? I'm not shoRe? I just always thought it looks cute - I noticed it fRom my handwRiting. On papeR, I wRite all of my "R"'s and "N"'s in capitol letteRs, so I figuRed I'd caRRie the "R"'s oveR to the net. I don't do it on AIM though, so if you eveR choose to message me.. no woRRies. Then people staRted leaving me 'questions' saying they liked it, and it's my "tRademaRk", which I thought was neat.. I'm THIS young, and I have alReady established a "tRademaRk"?? =D And uhm... the only foods without MSG I can think of would be butteRscotch, and homemade bReads. Like, I had chicken and pasta foR dinneR tonight, about 7 bites in my head just split in half. I had to leave the table to Run foR aspRin. I can't even explain how bad it is - it Ruins almost eveRyday of my life; and it's always been so. Thanks foR the question though; that was neat. =D Have a good dayyyyy!

♥[?]♥ Does anyone know a site that shows people how to do some exotic dance moves ? like the pussycat roll and the hookers strut etc .
Thanks *
Well, I seaRched online, and came up with http://www.sexinfo101.com/fp_erodan.shtml ---AND--- http://www.wild-side.com/poses.html [note that this one DOES have pictuRes..] Hope this helps! =D

♥[?]♥ i live in this very small town and im 14 and so is jessica, we've been goodfriennds since we were 10 and she was always sort of an ugly girl, but now shes really gorgeus, shes fit into her body, pretty face, killer body.. she has the whole package. i love her becuz shed never ditch me and shes still the same but now shes been seeing or hangin out with older guys, some 18, some 21, or 23. and i mean if she can do it good for her but i hungout with her, this 22 year old john and his friend vince and i mean we rented a hotel and her and john went in but me and vince stayed in the car and we smoked and kind of hookedup, im getting feelinds for him and i know hes older but is it ok? she didnt make me like him or anything
Well, it's actually extRemely illegal to be hooked up with an oldeR fellow, so in THAT sense, haha.. it's pRobably not a good idea. But if you'Re asking if it's okay [besides the legal side], it just depends on youR moRals and views. To be peRfectly honest, I've had Romances such as that, and pRobably woRse ;D, so I'm not going to sit heRe and pReach to you. Just know youR limits, and make shoRe to pRactice and live by them. And RemembeR to neveR eveR eveR eveR do *ANYTHING* you'Re uncomfoRtable with just to impRess and/oR please someone else! Also, you'Re only 14... you'll have plenty of time foR men in theiR 20's when *YOU* Reach that age; just don't tRy to gRow up too fast -- once you've gRown up, you'll wish foR youR childhood back.

♥[?]♥ I've always had this question. If you put a plant in a microwave will it grow larger or faster?
Well, I've heaRd of micRowaving SEEDS, but not the plant ITSELF. MicRowaving seeds would be no diffeRent fRom heating them, except that the distRibution of tempeRatuRes in the seeds and soil might be a little diffeRent fRom what you would get if you simply used a space heateR, foR instance. If you can follow me heRe.... what happens is: the paRticles oR photons of ultRaviolet light, X-Rays, oR gamma Rays have enough eneRgy to cause chemical changes in oRganic molecules and can induce mutations in living oRganisms. HoweveR, the photons of micRowaves have so little eneRgy that all they can do is heat living things. The most likely Result of micRowaving the seeds will be that the seeds will become oveRheated and will not gRow at all. Hope this claRifies?
