I'm an loner sort of high-school student, that's the kind of person who observes everyone's problems from a distance and finds the solution right away. Not that there's an easy solution to every problem, that's in no way true, but there's always SOME option.
Ah...what else? Well, I have a passion for J-rock, and I love anime too much.
I'm also an artist (oekaki-er), though I suck.
I love composing songs & writing poetry, and I'm pretty good with computers. Ah, and I sold my soul for a piece of baklava. However, I'm an atheist (or ...what's the word, heathen?)...so in my opinion, I got free baklava!! ^_^
And I like ramen ^_^

How many licks does it take to get to the center of a tootsi pop?

I always bite soon, too...
Or the shell part starts cracking a bit and I end up chewing it instead.
Try it yourself!


I've really liked this one guy for about two years and I've finally got the courage to start flirting with him. We became friends and everything was going great. I could tell that he had a small crush on me (and that's what I wanted) however, all of a sudden my best friend starts to talk to him. My best friend is a lot prettier, funnier, more athletic, and smarter than me so of course the guy that I like starts chasing after her right away. Once I find this out I asked her if she liked him. She said yes and she was thinking about asking him out soon. I can't help but think that my best friend has stolen him from me because she's known that I've liked him for over two years. I feel jealous, betrayed, rejected... many other negative things. Should I fight over the guy? Forgive my friend? Drop the whole thing and pretend that nothing ever happened? Please help!

your fellow advicenator,

...I don't believe this,
the exact thing happened to me.
I still regret not having told him.
Don't make the same mistake I did.
Your friend's not much of a friend...
Tell him before she does, unless it's too late.
Your friend seems like a "fling"-type person, so be there if they end up dating and break up.


Recently this guy said I have a lot of pubic hair. He said it was abnormal. I didn't think it was. He said it looked like a forest. Now I'm really embarrassed about this. He keeps making fun of me and these other guys were asking if I shave. I'm getting a new bathing suit for this field trip I'm going on and I'm going to get some wax so I can remove this embarrassing black hair from my stomach. I looked at the wax I am going to buy and noticed that you shouldn't remove hair from genital/vaginal areas.
Well I know I'm not going to use a razor sinse it can cause in-grown hairs and comes back thicker and makes skin irritated.
I can't use my depilatory creme at home because you shouldn't use it for pubic ahir.
I tried to look for some wax that removes pubic hair but I can't find any and the trip is coming up in 6 days.
Do I have to shave down there? I don't want to! This one girl said she got a mohawk. Okay? Will it look bad if I get a small swimsuit and don't remove the hair? I don't think I should listen to the guy. But if I use a razor wouldn't the hair poke out of the swimsuit? I'm still buying the regular wax for my stomach and bikini line.

I don't know what to do! If you now of any wax that can remove pubic hair please tell me. (I can't go to a salon to do it!) Thanks! 14 year old girl. (link)
A razor's the best bet, really...
It depends on your skin, though. Your underarms are probably as sensitive as "down there", so if shaving doesn't cause ingrown hairs or horrible prickles then you're OK. The hair won't poke out of the swimsuit, and it'll probably look worse if you don't remove it. Oh, and in general, the cold wax that you peel off with your hands (not strips) works very well...it won't rip your skin off.
Or, a bikini wax could do the trick...it may be embarassing for you, but it's your safest option.


On sunday and monday of this week, our confirmation class from church went on a trip.
My friend Aaron went, and let me tell you a little about him- he's not a Christian at all.
You can tell that his parents made him get confirmed. He curses a lot, he's really bad and just doesn't believe anything our pastors have to say. He won't listen. On the trip, he was caught smoking a bunch of times. I told him that I was worried, and he said, "I guess I could try to quit." The key words are guess, and try. He probably won't actually do it. I'm really worried about Aaron.... his parents aren't great, and he needs some support, but once confirmation class is over, he'll probably never come back to church. How can I help him, and what can I do? (link)
Kami-sama, I have no clue what to do...
In general, if one of my friends start smoking with no intention of ever stopping, I just stop talking to them, or not care about what he says...

But whether he realizes it or not, your support really means a lot to him..

Perhaps religion is forced on him, which may be a cause for rebellion...
I mean, I'm atheist myself, though most Romanians are strongly religious (orthodox)...and if I were in his shoes, I might smoke as well.
Make sure he knows that you're always there to support him, and BE there to support him...

Honey, that's all I can say to help, perhaps you should post this question to the main board and see if you get a variety of answers.


Dear person i'm horny all the time its just crazy i masturbate ever day prolly 10 or more times it makes me sad i have sex alot to does this make me a bad person???....kendra (link)
Uh...
I've heard that even people in healthy & happy relationships masturbate often (props to cosmopolitan), so apparently this doesn't make you a bad person.


what are the stars for by the colunist names?dont mean to sound stupid..lol im just curious...thanks (link)
Yup, it's the overall ratings. Almost perfecly accurate, too...if you're a 4.812*, then you'll have 4 stars and 0.812 of the fifth shaded in ^_^


I am turning 12 in October. I am about 5'1". I weigh maybe 115-120... is that bad?
PLEASE HELP!
Oh, and I'm a girl!
Thanks! Bye (link)
That's very normal...
Plus, weight doesn't matter that much..
It's how much round there is per pound :P
Plus, you'll start growing a LOT very soon, and you'll use up much of your excess fat doing so.
Don't forget that muscle weighs more than fat.
And also, if you can tell the kind of body type you're becoming, (top-skinny/pear-shaped, curvy/hourglass, boyish thin, or whatever) you'll be better off, as you'll know what you have to excercise to have it looking the best it can.


Will Clorox Bleach bleach your hair? I don't want to try it out and find out that it works! This isn't really important but I would apprechiate it if you would answer this.
I appoligize if I didn't spell apprechiate right. (link)
It'll bleach your hair, yes, but it'll make it very brittle and will likely crumble after a bit of brushing. Stick to the colour that comes in pretty boxes, ok?


For those who use MSN messenger , you will see a little option , which is "appear offline" . This means that even though you are actually using the internet , you just want to seem offline . I want to know if a certain someone is avoiding me , so do you know if threre is a certain method to check this ?
I was chatting with this *someone* , when he suddenly went offline . I noticed that when i sent another message to him , instead of the usual "message might not be received as recepiant appears to be offline" notice in red , nothing happened . I could send my message without any difficulty .
It's really important to me to find out if this *Someone* is trying to avoid me , so please answer quickly .... thanks =) (link)
I was wondering the same thing, but no...it's a hard to tell. And if he's appearing offline, everyone on his contact list will be affected; only blocking will affect only one person.
However, you may want to confront him in person, and ask him about it. Hard to do, but worth it..


I was hot one night.... 3 nights. So I turned the air temerature down and then my mom realized and she said that costs money! my family doesnt have alot of that to spend on something like this! what should i do? i dont want them to be mad at me!

help! (link)
Along with what the others said, you should probably ditch your blanket or comforter, and leave the window open, if it's colder outside. Worst-case scenario, drink something cold, or take a cold shower before going to sleep.


Hi I've been having mood swings lately and I am only 11 yrs old what would cause me to have moodswings? (link)
Raaaaaaaaging hormones, baby!
Enjoy it. Cause you're stuck with them for the next few years.


im addicted to boys.. what should i do?im 14 years old.. all i think about is having sex with guys help me (link)
It's normal...
Hormones raging...
All that good stuff.
Actually, I'm 14/15 right now (few more weeks, baby!!) and I think about guys a lot, too...but if it doesn't distract you from everyday things it's OK


I like this guy but I don't know how to tell him. The only way I can act around him is like mean? What should I doand is this normal? (link)
Oh, it's normal alright...
What should you do? Well, act nicer for a while, and if he asks what's up tell him that...well, you sorta like him.
If he doesn't notice, then he's probably relieved that you're nice and doesn't want to jinx it. Tell him anyways.


i broke up with my boyfriend because we werent acting like boyfriend and girlfriend... like whats the point of going out with someone if you act like more that friends when you are just friends and when we are more than friends we act like nothing! i still like him but i know we are better off being friends! what should i do?!?!?!?HELP!!!!!!! (link)
That's what I did last year, too...
But it's so much more awkward to act like a couple, yet have everyone know that you're just friends, they'll think that you're seeing eachother in secret or something like that...
Just because you broke up, does NOT mean you have to stop being friends! It's OK, if you can still be good friends he'll understand.


Is there any way to get over someone. I'm a guy who is trying to get over a female friend who doesn't feel the same way. (link)
Move ON!!
Find a new girl...
Or do something to take your mind off her.


What do the smiley faces mean ?like some are smiling and others are frowning.

Hey gurl...i got a good question for ya!:P Im in Romania right now, and i REALLY miss my best friend in Canada! Her name is Alice, and she may not know it...but shes my best friend and i MISS HER TONZ TONZ TONZ!! lol Well, thats pretty much all i wanted to say, but if i need to ask a question...How are ya, Allie? I hope everythin is goin great! Im officially homesick, and i hope i can come back soon...LYLAS!! *muahz*
-~*~IrInA~*~- (link)
Ack.
You just made me cry.
On my English report.
I miss you so much!!....
Are you coming back this summer?
And how am I? Well, still in pain from being "stupid" as Steve puts it, but otherwise...
Peaceful.
No more suicide pictures. (or were you not there for..? OMG! You weren't!!!!!)

If you were here, it'd be different...
You'd probably be doing community service with me at the Romanian sunday school...
Would have met Chris, Alex, and Anna...
and Anca, Calin and Alex from the Sunday school...
plus, the cutey little kids at dance practise...


ok i need to loser 10 lbs in the next 2 weeks.. i weigg 126 i ned to get to at least 115 what r some good ways to do that (link)
You don't NEED to lose any more weight!
If you *have* to, though, for whatever reason...
Eat eggs, or a grapefruit for breakfast.
Have a small, vegetarian lunch.
Don't drink fruit juice or pop, only water. A lot.
Jog for an hour each day, and do sit-ups or push-ups.


i hate to ask too many questions but, in addition to my other problem, my parents are arguing every day and whenever they go near each other they yell and get mad. Does this mean they are going to divorce or is it possible they will work things out? (link)
Last year, I thought my parents would get a divorce, because they were miserable (not with eachother, but with work) and they fought constantly...
However, if I acted hurt by their arguing, they'd stop soon, and I'd put on a slightly dramatic act, mumble something about immaturity, and go off to draw.
Then they'd stop.
But if a married couple doesn't argue at all, that means there's a problem; perhaps one may be dominating the other, and the other's too afraid to speak out. That's even worse.


I play the piano, and at the moment I'm supposed to be working towards my Grade 7. The problem is, though, that my piano teacher hasn't given me the music yet - he only gives it me a couple of months before the exam and so I've never got more thatn a merit in any of the Grades so far. I know that if he gives me enough time to do my pieces, I can maybe get a distinction, or at least come close. I have a friend with a different piano teacher, and say she's working towards Grade 6, he'll give her Grade 7 music even before she's done her Grade 6. I don't get why my teacher does things differently because I know I can get better marks if I have the pieces for longer! What should I do? (link)
I'm in the RCM program, too!
And (whoa, FREAKY) I'm in grade 7, doing my exam this summer, and also starting my grade 8 pieces.
I usually overlap the grades, so that by the time I'm done one exam, I have the pieces almost memorized for the next.
It's really not fair to be restrained from learning the pieces beforehand...it's just not right. I've been getting over 90% on all my exams, because of this way.
I suggest finding a new piano teacher, however much you may be attached to your current one.
