why do all the boys like a certain girl with blonde hair and blue eyes? (link)
|
Because Hitler is their role model. Jk, but not all boys like blonde hair and blue eyes. Many find the combination pleasing to the eye, but a lot of those guys only care about looks, which you don't want anyway. I think that blonde hair and blue eyes is the traditional stereotype of a beautiful person, just like Barbie (who also has blonde hair and blue eyes). But lately brunettes have become more popular, and there is more of a balance, so don't get too fed up. Hope I helped!

I need a new word to substitute for "amazing" because I use that wayyy too much. Any ideas? (link)
|
No word is good when you use it too often, so try to mix it up a little. You could make up your own creative saying or make an old one famous. Ex. "That's hot." -Paris. But anyway, here are some ideas:
Ordinary: Awesome, cool, fabulous, great, neat, super, sweet
Different: Fantabulous, far-out, phenomenal, rad, scandelous, wicked
Intelligent: Anomalous, fictitious, preternatural, thaumaturgic
Fake: Gick, hoy, scah
Hope I helped!

My whole life, I have always had a little chubby part on my body every now and then. I am looking for a way to start toning up my body so I can keep it that way. Any ideas or tips on how to keep a toned up body? (link)
|
First of all, don't just do exercises, especially for that area of the body. Spot reduction is a myth that exercising that area will help you lose fat, which is a LIE. But still exercise because it's good for you, and play sports because they are fun, and mostly just eat right. You don't have to diet or eat less, but don't pig out on junk food and try to eat your fruits and vegetables. Good nutrition and an active lifestyle will help a lot. These are the only tips that work for everyone. Also, if you do exercise or play sports or eat right, stick with it. Don't give up, get lazy, forget, or decide not to, because that just makes it harder to start again. Keeping thinking of your improved, strong, healthy, future body. Hope I helped!

|
How sweet of you to keep me busy. I'm actually not being sarcastic. Well, not that you care, but this summer I am spending lots of time with friends, maybe going on vacation (not sure if we are yet), going to the Lisle BASKETBALL camp, going to the volleyball camp, and CHILLAXING! (Yes, chill + relax. The ultimate. Can also be chill + max...) Hope I helped!

so i was looking @ ur year book the other day, and i was wondering who filled out those BEAUTIFUL two pages in the back, it said "meags" in really big letter, and i wanted to say that im greatly impressed!!! (link)
|
Well, Miss ANONYMOUS, I believe the great piece of work was done by none other than Olivia Victoria (Catherine) Shane! She achieved her goal of writing me the longest note, taking up exactly two pages, and it was beautiful. Hope I helped!

ok well i think i may like this girl or at least i find myself flirting with her alot, maybe it's just my nature?? i have no idea, but me and my gf broke up and im not sure if im just flirting with this girl because i like her or if im just trying to get over my gf. and the problem is i don't wanna like her because one of my good friends likes her too, and i would really feel bad if i did that. plus summer is coming up so i dont kno if i'll c her ne more. so can you please help me (link)

What's a better way to answer a question than with a question itself? When you were going out, did you find yourself trying to hide feelings for this girl because you were taken? Be honest. If you did, then you know the answer to that question- you really do like her. If not, then you might still like her, but you might just be on the rebound, so here are some questions to ask yourself: What exactly do you like about this girl? (If this is hard to answer, you're probably on the rebound.) Does your ex ever come to mind when you are flirting with this girl? (If no, then you probably like her.) Do you flirt with other girls too, but maybe not as much? (If yes, most likely rebound.) Does your good friend flirt with her around you? (If yes, then you might not even like the girl, but it's instinct to want something you know you shouldn't/can't have.) Do you plan to see her over the summer or think you will? If no, then no need to worry because she will be out of your mind and you can focus on other people. If yes, then try to avoid it, or bring other friends along to distract you. If you really do think you like her after all these questions, and you can't stop thinking about her after a while, and she might like you back, then talk to your good friend about it. Hope I helped!

HOW DO U MAKE UR EYE STOP TWITCHING!?!?!?!?!?!??!?!?!?!?!?!?!!? help before i shoot it! (link)
|
Well, shooting it IS one way to make it stop twitching, but that might hurt a little... usually eye twitches are caused by stress. Some ideas for relieving this include: Sleep, taking a walk, thinking happy thoughts, managing your time wisely, taking deep breaths (in, and out, and in, and out), and ignoring the twitch. It also appears that when you want someone to see the twitch, it goes away. Then when you want it to stop, it returns. So maybe you should want it to stay, and then it will go away. Just make yourself believe that you want it. That should do it. Hope I helped!

Why Philiam? Where did that name come from? Thanks for the good luck and saying I'm awesome.

wats ur fav. tv. show?? and don't say something weird i am sooo bored so i wanna know!! do u watch family guy?? i love thta show but i dunno when it is on?? i like stewie cause he has a cool name and he is soooo funny!!
Love,
The Random Weirdo! (link)
|
I'm sorry but I don't have a favorite TV show. I used to watch TV all the time, but I have been busy lately and don't watch it nearly as much. Family Guy can be funny, but I rarely watch it. But I do like the OC, shows on MTV, VH1, Disney, ABC... I could keep going, but for your sake I won't. Hope I helped!

ok so i'm going to prom and i was wondering what you think the best way is to get in shape this week...quick!!! like pilates, running, lifting, sitting on the couch, etc. (link)
|
I'm sorry to break the news to you, but you can't get in shape in one week. It takes 2-8 weeks to see improvements, but you could still try to be active everyday. That way, you will already be in better shape for the next big event you attend, and you won't have to worry. Plus, it will help in daily activities. A wider range of exercises is better, so make sure to always be doing something different: ex. pilates, running, lifting weights, sports, kung-foo, stretches, and eating right. Hope I helped!

p.s. Have fun at prom!

Ok so theres this guy that Ive liked for about a month now and I told him I liked him on Wensday. So since then weve been talking, hugging, flirting stuff like that and he says he likes me back. Saturday he wanted to go to laser tag with me but his mom took his car so he culdnt then he called me later that nite and said he wanted me to come over to his house but i didnt answer the phone. And he texted my friends phone Monday before school and said "why doesnt she kiss me." "would she do anything with me" stuff like that. Then I get to school Monday and he didnt come up to me and talk to me. Now Ive heard he might be talking to some other girl, even though he still flirted with me and stuff today during bowling. What do you think is going through his head? (link)
|
He seems like a player to me. I think you should stay away from him, because he wouldn't ignore you and flirt with other girls if he really liked you. He just wants you to do stuff with him, so go find yourself another crush. Then again, he might think you don't like him anymore, because you didn't answer your phone and maybe don't act like you do. He may not have been flirting with another girl- simply talking. Don't jump to conclusions. For this reason only, I suggest that you not be cruel to him and stay open-minded. You will know he is a player by how he acts, so with that open mind, keep an open eye out for him. Hope I helped!

i feel like i'm losing my best friend to my other best friend. does that make sense? probably not, but i'll try to explain. my best friend is awsome, we've been best friend for as long as i can remember, but i'm starting to feel that we're growing apart. she doesnt like a lot fo the things i do, she doesnt like that i have a bf that i spend a lot of my time with, and she doesnt like how i live my life. my other best friend is alomst the exact same as her. what do i do? i dont want to lose either of them, but i feel liek i'm going to unless i change my ways. (link)
|
Not to be cold-hearted, but get used to change. Life is full of it. I'm not saying you should just leave your friends or not care about them anymore, but people grow apart and you have to accept that. The most you can do is try to become closer again, and if she doesn't want that then there is nothing you can do. As for not losing her, you can try spending a little less time with your bf and more time with her. Don't ditch your bf, but call your best friend up and ask her to hang out. As for not liking how you live your life, what can you do about it? You have to be more specific... how do you live your life and what does she not like about it? If it's something that you really can't or don't want to fix, then tell her how you feel, and say, "Listen, I can't change who I am, but I don't want to lose a great friend like you. Please like me for who I am." Or something along those lines. Same with your other friend. If they can't accept that, then you know what you have to do. Unless you seriously have no other friends (which isn't good anyway) and you would be depressed (literally) without these two best friends. If these are true then you will just have to sacrifice your true self and force yourself to act and live as your best friends want. If worse comes to worse, which is more important to you: Your life or your 2 friends? (Yes, I know friends are part of your life, but I mean the rest of your life including your family, your boyfriend, how you act, and how you personally approach everyday events.) Hope I helped!

I feel like sometimes i cant stand being around this person at school, becasue its like she doesnt like to be around me. I even joined a sport that i really dont like just so i can be with her more. Yet it seems worse now that i have joined the sport because she still doesnt want to be around me. The problem i am really having is that i cant stand to go a day without seeing her and it seems like she could care less if she saw me or not. But lately i think she has been trying to fix this, but i have always wanted to know why she seems to be embarassed about our reltionship and cares to much of what others think instead of caring about how she feels. Any help with these questions would be grateful. (link)

Are you two going out? It seems that way by how you are wording this question, so I will just assume that you are. I don't know her (or you) so this answer is just to help, but I can't tell you how she really feels, because I don't know: Does she have the same friends as you? Maybe she would rather see you on the weekends and her friends at school, because she has many groups of people she likes to talk to, and doesn't want to leave anyone out. Do you know why she doesn't want to be around you in the sport? Maybe she has a friend (or friends) that she never gets to see and she wants to be with her. Or maybe she doesn't mind talking to you at the sport, but she doesn't want you to hold her or anything because her parents or other adults are watching and it seems awkward. I, personally, know that it can sometimes be weird when adults are around and watching. You say she is embarrased. If you two are going out, as I think you may be, then I doubt this is the case. It might even be the opposite, where she doesn't want to "show you off" in front of everyone. Maybe she feels too much like those people who make out by their lockers in front of everyone. Maybe there are adults/teachers at school, too, and this still feels weird. If this is the case, then she can't help feeling that way and you have to deal with and respect that. She probably cares a little about what others think- How many girls don't?- but I'm sure she still cares about how she feels. If she feels uncomfortable holding hands or being held in public, then she can't just change this, and you don't want to push her and make her feel odd. As for not caring if she sees you or not, maybe she is just bad at showing emotion or feelings. Have you ever considered that you might do the same thing? If you are in one of her classes or walk into one of them, do you say "Hey" or do you just ignore her? It might be weird either way if the people she is around are commenting on your entrance and saying, "Ohh! Look who it is!" Maybe you do the same thing to her without realizing this. I wouldn't be sticking up for her so much, but you said she seems like she is trying to fix it a little, so that's all that matters. I think you should give it time and see how things go, and if you have problems then talk to her about it. Hopefully she will talk to you if she has problems herself. Good luck with everything. Hope I helped!

so meagan, me and my bf have been together for quite a while now and he's always been alittle shy.. maybe that's the right word, or maybe embarrarsed it better, but he never wants to hold my hand or flirt with me at school, or when were with our/his friends. i mean i didn't really care that much about it before but now that i think about it, i woudl really like him to at least hold my hand. cuz when it's just me and him, he's the sweetest. and he shows that he really really really likes me, and hes just perfect, but i don't know what to do about when were at school or with our friends. can u please help me?

Before I begin, I would just like to say that I realize your question was in my inbox for quite some time, but I was having some technical difficulties. Sorry for the inconvenience. Now on to the answer: As bad as it is to assume, I am assuming that your boyfriend is a good bf (because you have been together a while now) and that by now he can tell when you are upset or mad. Instead of joking around when he doesn't hold your hand, show your true feelings! You don't have to say it, but even the dumbest guys can see when their gf is upset. I am sure he will ask you what's wrong or if he did something (eventually) and this is when you have to take advantage of the situation. He really wants to know what is going on inside your head. Tell him that he acts different at school or around your friends, or better yet do these four steps: 1) COMPLIMENT him, 2) tell him how you FEEL, 3) state the PROBLEM, and 4) COMPLIMENT him again! Hope I helped!

well i go to school everyday and theres people who think there so kool and they push people around. For guys there the "popular group". They play games like at lunch they'll sit at a table then u'll sit there then they get up and go to a diff table. When they do this every day it gets annoying. So i need advice on what i should do and if i should sit and hang around with a diff group. (link)
|
Are they trying to be funny when they do this to you? That's not funny OR cool. I'm surprised there even IS an empty table to go to.... I would get annoyed, too, if they did it every day. I am assuming you have said something like, "Ok, guys. It gets OLD after a while. Can you STOP?" If you haven't, then do it. And make sure they know that you are serious. If you talk to another group (or at least one person from another group) kind of a lot, then go and sit with them. That wil show the other guys that you weren't kidding. Besides, it's better to be friends with a lot of people anyway. Especially if your current friends are mean and think they are "cool". However, if you can live with it, or you can get the message across to them that being mean isn't cool, then sit with them, still. I highly doubt that's going to happen though, and guys won't want to talk about it, so if you are comfortable enough to go sit with other people, then go for it. Hope I helped!

alright so since were on the topic of LOVE i was wondering what U think love is (link)
|
What is WITH you people and love? Why is everyone always so interested in it? I swear half the people I talk to wear they are either "in love" or have "been in love." I don't want to sound like a cold-hearted Scrooge who has never been loved (believe me, I have) but it's way too common. I think love is when you seriously cannot live without someone and you have this feeling. I have never been in love with someone other than family (you know what I mean) but I hear that you can tell. My definition is when you want to spend the rest of your life with them. Well, that's part of it. There is more but it's too complicated to explain. I may try another time. Hope I helped!
~Meags
p.s. I saw this quote in a person's away message and thought it was cute and just about right:
"You know you're in love when all you can think about is that one special person and you can't stand to be away from them for more then one second. You miss them even though they're standing right next to you. You fall asleep thinking about them, and dream about them every night."

That is a very odd and personal question, and I am not at liberty to disclose the information that would answer it. However, love is a very powerful word. It should only be used in the most delicate of situations. These times include talking to family, CLOSE friends, and religious figures (like God or Jesus). In my opinion, love is too often used in today's society. Please refrain from using "love" in the future unless you TRULY mean it. Please and thank you. Hope I helped!
