Hola! The name's Caitlin, 20, college junior. Being an oddball myself, I love to give an encouraging word to those who are "different", but I'll awnser advice on anything.Tell me whatever you want. I'll awnser any question so long as it's sincere, and I'd really love the occaisonal joke or humerous post.
NOTE- If anyone here reads my column on a regular basis, you may notice that my feedback as dropped a bit suddenly. This is because I got a low L2 rating on a question I responded to. Please note that in general, I do pay strict attention to my grammar and such. I am an English major, after all. But at the time I was looking at that question, it was late at night, and I was tired. Focusing on giving what help I could, I didn't even notice the multiple spelling mistakes. Needless to say, I am rather upset at having my rating so damaged by this one event. Please realize that while I care deeply about the professional look of my responses, I care more about what I am SAYING. I'll try to be more observant in the future. Thank you.

Ok, this is a total random question and is basically for anyone who has seen a ballet. Im in my ballet studio's The Nutcracker and Im the sugar plum fairy, I was wondering should I smile? would it make it less graceful or better? (link)
| |
It depends on the dance, but for the Nutcracker, I'd say do smile. See what other people are doing. Just try to "match" the other dancers on stage.

I'm currently in an internet relationship with this guy in Canada (I'm in Australia) We liked each other for about a year, and only recently decided to give the relationship a shot. We had a few problems before we got together, but we worked them all out. We're meeting in a few months time. I do like him, however, there's a lot about him that bothers me. He's a REALLY extremist Catholic, and whilst i am catholic too, I'm nowhere near as religious. A lot of what he believes I respect, however disagree with. I have to act different around him, for example, I can't swear or say anything even remotely 'suggestive' Sometimes I feel like he's testing me, because he asks me questions like "did you go to mass today on sunday? Did you enjoy it?" and "How far do you think is too far?" I never feel comfortable around him and he doesn't know much about who I truly am due to this reason. He's a really innocent guy for a teenager, and whilst its good that he respects me, he's really uptight and we can never talk about things or joke around like other couples can. I realize that not everyone is into that kind of thing, but it's like we never do anything 'fun'
I tell him I love him every night but sometimes I wonder whether I truly do. I want to make this work but I have a nagging feeling telling me that this isn't right and I shouldn't be with him. What should I do? Is it normal to feel like this? Do you guys think I should still try with him?
Thanks. (link)

Hmm...that's a tough one. I actually have a friend who is very conservative while I myself am very liberal. I think he wants us to be more than friends, but personally I know I couldn't be in a relationship with him- it would be too much strain. If you feel uncomfortable when he's talking to you, if you don't know if you can be happy with him, I'd break it off. It's not an easy thing to face, but I think you'd both end up making eachother miserable. If you do decide to break things off, explain to him that you just think the two of you aren't right for eachother. He sounds like a good person, so you could try to "still be friends", although that doesn't always work. Hope my ramblings helped a bit. In the end, do what you want, not what anyone tells you to.

okay ive been like hooking up with this guy he has a girlfriend and told me he was gonna break up with her because he wanted to be with me he doesnt call me anymore , we havent talked in 3 days and he is still going out with the girlfriend he told me he was breaking up with.
Is he losing interest in me? and what can i do to get it back? (link)
| |
Personally, I wouldn't waste my time getting his interest back in me. Flat out, he lied to you, and he isn't devoting the time to you that you deserve. Let him have his girlfriend, and go find someone who'll be true to you.

home remedies to clear up pimples? (link)
| |
Just scrub your face every night- and wash off the soap! I've heard toothpaste works, but all remedies vary. Also, home facials like those with oatmeal keep your skin clean- that's the key- pimples are caused by oil on the skin, so do your best to keep your face clean.

a guy asked me if i drink but i only drink beer.. so is that considered "drinking" (link)
| |
Yes, that's considered drinking. Well, unless you only do it on rare occasions. But if you drink anything alcoholic on more or less a regular basis, it's considered "drinking". :-)

okay so i had sex with my boyfriend last night and ever since then i have been throwing up and i keep needing the toilet i no im not pregnant and there is no chance i could be cuase im on the pill and he used a condom, ive had sex before and never felt like this whats wrong with me have i got a desease or something im gettin really worried please help i will rate high (link)

Well, first of all, go see a doctor. Now. I can't give you medical advice, and even if someone else can, you need to hear it for sure. Secondly, nothing is 100% effective, so get tested.
Let me alse say, don't panic! I've heard of it happening all the time, probably some random reaction. Just better safe than sorry.
(Oh, and on a side note, this might be a good opretunity to guilt your boyfriend into dinner or something. Don't blame him, just get him to pity you ^^)
What? I had to! Lol.
So, go see a professional and find out for sure. Get well soon!

I have a coworker that I am very interested in getting to know. I have heard from several people that he is interested in me too but the thing is we are both shy. We make eye contact and smile at eachother but that is as far as it goes. There has been several times where I have come close to telling him how I feel and asking him out but I am too shy when it comes to situations like this. We dont know eachother personally but we have been working together for about 2 years now and I recently began feeling this attraction toward him. I know I should just say something but I would get nervous. What should I do? (link)
| |
Coming from another very shy person, try a note. It might not sound personal, but this is just a first date. Try something like "We've been working together for two years, which is good, becuase that's about how long it's taken me to get the courage to do this: I think I'd like us to be more than coworkers. How would you feel about going out for coffee tonight?" Just make sure it's handwritten

i am being forced to move from my home in texas, to the cold and mean streets of chicago. my mother got a new job, and she is carting me up there in february. however, my father lives here in tecas. i have the oppurtunity to live with him, but i never have, and we arent very compatible. should i go with my mom, or stay with my dad? (link)
| |
Just for the record, I've been to Chicago 6 times, and I love it there. If you're more compatable with your mom, follow her. You'd be confortable, yes, but probably less happy with your dad. However, talk to both parents all together. Maybe warm months in Chicago, cold ones in Texas?

look, i go to a british school, and next year i will have to choose my subjects for IGCSE? I am good at both history and Music, but i love music 100% more! the problem is my parents, who do not want me to take music. they feel that history would be much more scoring! but i really, REALLY, love music, and i am good! i learn the Piano, and will be taking grade 6 of the royal schools of msic exam, and i play the flute and the guitar as a hobby. PLEASE HELP ME!!
i need advice! (link)
| |
Gah! Gah! Where is my Siren Cytheria?, she'll be bound to have an opinin on this. As do I- go with your heart. Try telling your parents "If I take history, I will most likely end up in a field I dislike, and not try as hard, wehereas if I go into music, I should enjoy what I'm doing, try harder, and hopefully be successful" Remind your parents that they arn't you, and vice-versa. You are your own person, and should follow your dreams, not theirs.

There's no avoiding hating school, I'm afraid to say. Just keep focusing on college and freedom

I'm gay, is that bad? (link)
| |
No. No, no, no, no, and in case you missed it, no. From what I've heard, it's the way you were born. Even if it IS a choice, I don't see why people are so . . .uptight about it. It doesn't matter who you fall in love with. If you're a good person, you're a good person. Gays have morals, and they follow them. In fact, most of them have better morals than I do sometimes . . .

I just lately found out that my cat, Orangy, could talk and now he's asked me to marry him and I accepted. Now I'm having second thoughts... What should I do??????

| |
I'm sorry, but if they don't let gays get married, they won't let humans and cats, either. So don't worry about your thoughts. But maybe you and Orangy can run off to a happy place together.

Is it safe to use any old salmon steak from a reputable market in my sushi, or should I stick to the stuff from the Japanese market? (link)
| |
Just make sure they know it's for sushi, so they give you the (for lack of a better word) safest stuff. You are eating it raw, after all.

I am 12 and I would like to start babysitting. I have a neighbor who has a 6 year old granddaughter and I occasionally baby sit her for an hour or so. I'd like to have more clients (you could call them), but i don't want to have strangers calling me everything friday night. Any ideas? (link)
| |
When all else fails take matters into your own hands. Ask friends and family for names of people who might use you. Call them yourself, and offer your services. Just ask them not to give your name away to other people, so you don't get too bogged down.

I was the one who wrote "First Kiss Gone Wrong" I have had time to think about it and I really don't want to have a boyfriend right now. *Peter* is really nice but I just don't really want to be with him anymore. If I break up with him everyone at school will say, "I told you so!" Because they all made bets on how long we would last the first day we were together. I don't want to have to be the one to break up with him but I will if I get really unhappy. HOw can I 'make' him break up with me? (link)
| |
That's tough, because really, you can't. Sometimes you just have to take a deep breath and face the music yourself. Take him out in private, and tell him how you feel, reminding hom he didn't do anything wrong. As for the people who say "I told you so!", try shrugging and saying "Yeah, you did. What's your point?"

I like a boy. Jackson. He is cute. He likes me, too. I want to make something for him. WHAT? A friendship braclet?????????????? HELP!!!!!!!!

To be on the safe side, you might not wanna try jewlery. I guess it's a "guy thing" some of them have. Then again, if you know him well, and think he'd like that, ignore me completely. I'd try food, like cookies or something. What's that about the way to a man's heart? ^^
