ok, i'm looking for songs about two things:
- someone who is in love with someone that has no clue that they love them or that they are there
- someone who is in love with someone that she thinks is in love with someone else (it could be that the person is lucky or that the person can't love them the same way she/he does)
Thank you

Try the song "Something About Us" by Daft Punk?
Also, the song "You Don't Know Me"? Not sure the artist, but it was in the movie My Best Friend's Wedding.

I need to know how to make my hair wavy.My hair is long-ish,layered,and I have sidebangs,if that makes any difference.
I like how my hair looks when I let it air dry,but dont have time in the morining before school to do that.I'd rather use sprays,gel,shampoo ect. than a diffuser.
but does anyone know if a diffuser is easier or works better?
If a diffuser doesn't work,what kind of hair products ciuld I use to make my hair wavy?
thanks =D (link)

There are many hair products on the market for curly/wavy hair.
You said you have longish hair. I'd recommend a curling mousse, then, so that it won't weight your hair down. Just run it into your hair with your fingers, then flip your head over (upside down, I guess) and put mousse in the back. Scrunch it while your head is upside down, then just flip back up. Your hair should show a lot more curl than usual.

hi everyone i really hope someone can help me. i have curly hair and if i dont stragihten or crunch it and wear it down, its frizzy, HUGE, tangeled and looks DISGUSTING!! is there any other hair style for curly hair that isnt crunching or straightening? thanks a lot..please help! (link)
| |
The wonderful thing about curly hair is that it is extremely responsive to suggestion. In other words, if you pin it up when it is wet and can keep it that way until dry, you can make almost style imaginable.

how exactly is green tea good for you//help you lose weight? does diet green tea work the same way? (link)
|
Green tea has lots of antioxidants and such. Not sure how it helps you lose weight though.
And yes, diet will work the same. You see, the tea itself has little to no calories. It is the sweetener that adds calories.

I lost my season pass to Six Flags and I'm at a loss as to what I should do. I called the guest relations office and I'm about to call the Six Flags of America number. I can't believe I lost it but I figure since I have my license for identification, it shouldn't be that hard to get a new one.
Any ideas?
Thanks for anyone who has a clue on what to do!

|
Go to guest services next time you are at Six Flags, tell them you lost your pass. They'll probably ask for an id, and may charge like $5 for a new card.
But it's no big deal. I used to lose my passes all the time. ^^

You have to use a special formula for the face.
Try Sally Hansen's Brazilian Formula. It's really gentle.

Is it possible to lose 3 pounds in one day? I totally pigged out last night at a sleepover and when I came home and weighed myself I was 101. But I felt self concious because I have to be in a bikini in front of a guy tomorrow so I didnt eat all today and I excercised. Now the scale says Im 98.5 and I am wearing the same thing I was when I weighed 101 - a bikini. Is that possible or is the scale wrong?? (link)
| |
It is possible, but it's probably water weight. When you exercise, you lose weight from sweating. But if you properly hydrate yourself, you'll get it back.

I hate my body so much. Im anorexic and I have been since February, but I read the effects and I want to eat healthy! Ive started eating again, but its all junk. Does anyone have a meal plan that will actually help you lose weight and is easy foods to actually get at a supermarket? (link)
|
Kudos to you for wanting to be healthy!
Okay, first, don't try to lose more than 1-2 pounds a week.
As for foods, it is really easy to eat healthy these days.
First, make sure to get enough calories. 1500 a day is ideal for losing weight as it provides enough energy for proper body function and exercise while still helping you lose weight.
Eat breakfast! A bowl of cereal, a cup of yogurt, a piece of fruit, something light, healthy, and full of natural sugars and carbs. It will give you a jumpstart for the day.
At lunch, try to balance carbs and proteins. A salad with chicken or steak is a great choice, as is a taco or wrap. But be careful with tacos. Ground beef can be very fatty, so unless you buy and prepare it, don't trust it. Deli meats can have a lot of sodium and preservatives in them, so be careful with those as well.
For dinner, you want to focus on proteins. When you sleep is when your body rests and rebuilds, so protein provides necessary materials. Chicken breasts are a fabulous way to eat healthier, as they are so versatile! I personally love to make baked chicken with rosemary and blackberry wine. Or you can put salsa on it.
An important thing to remember when cooking healthier is to not neglect herbs and spices. Unlike condiments, they don't add unwanted calories. Just lots of flavor.
Hope I helped, and good luck!

I have long hair and am trying to get it curly. The only problem is only about the bottom half of my hair will curl, because it is weighing the top down. I cannot get layers, because i am doing the locks of love thing...but are there any products or something i can use to help this? (link)
|
Try a shampoo and conditioner specifically for curly hair. Also, use curling mousse, as it won't weight your hair down any more. Scrunch it through your hair. For even more curl, flip your head down (so your hair is hanging upside down) and apply product and scrunch it. When you flip your head back up (do this kinda slowly), it should be much curlier.
And kudos for doing Locks of Love.
Good luck!

im going to major in engineering. is it okay for me to take all the engineering classes before the general requirement classes (history, english, math, science)? (link)
|
It probably is okay, but I wouldn't do it.
I'm also majoring in engineering, but my school has a suggested schedule. So I'll give you a little advice based on that.
Try and take one or two gen ed classes a semester. If anything, they'll provide a little break from all engineering. And you'll meet lots of different people there, not just those in your major.
|
Okay I need some major help here:
I have really skinny little boney legs.. and I want to make them normal sized! They're soooo skinny it's embarrassing! My arms are skinny too, I've just always been this way. I eat alot and whenever I eat, I eat until I'm full. I don't eat many vegetables, mainly fatty things...but it's weird because it goes to my stomach and nowhere else! Is there something wrong with my metabolism or something? Because it seems like my food doesn't distribute properly...or is there anyways that I can build up my arms and legs? Is it just a muscle thing, or an eating thing? Thank you so much for any feedback!! (link)
|
Eat veggies! Unless you get the vitamins you need, your body will not be able to process food well. Improve the quality of food you eat, and you'll be well on your way.
As to exercise, walking and running are great for legs. But if you want some killer muscles, try cycling, martial arts, or aerobics/dance. Even if you aren't a big fan of working out, keep looking until you find something you enjoy. Try the local YMCA for classes.

im 14 rite now and im a size 34A. but my mom is a D cup.. did i just get really unlucky and not inherit big boobs? or am i just a late bloomer? (link)
|
Hey, a D cup ain't so great. Take it from me. I'm a 38D, and it's not what you'd think. As MHScutie said, you get to wear all sorts of cute clothing that I can't. Not to mention you don't have to deal with all the pains associated with a larger chest.
Anyway, you'll probably grow more. You're 14! Just wait for it.
|
|
i am goin into the ninth grade and i still hav like no chest. its sooo embarassing. Is there like any chance that ill grow more befor school starts? its weird because iv already had my period, but i hav no chest. (link)
|
It isn't weird. There are plenty of girls and women who don't have large chests.
You probably won't grow much more by the time school starts.
But don't worry about it! Having huge boobs will not make you more popular (I know this first hand) and they certainly will not make you a better person. And any guy worth your time will not care about your chest at all. So relax, and enjoy highschool! Don't let something as simple as your chest bring you down.
|

my period is really heavy like the first 3 days! well i dont care during the day because i wear tampons but at night i wear pads. i usually have to wear like 4 seriously big pads because its so heavy at night and sometimes that even leaks through! i heard that wearing a tampon for a long time like overnight is bad for you and you are at higher risk for that TSS or whatever! soo is it? or what should i do? im even on birth control lol and im 16/f. and thats why i went on birth control because i thought it would help my heavy flow but it doesnt seem to work. (link)
|
I have the same problem sometimes, so I'll tell you what I do.
First, at night, try overnight ultra thin pads. Stayfree are the ones I use.
Also, try sleeping on your side. It helps prevent leaks.
As to the tampon, you may have to wake up in the night to change it. But it would probably be worth it.
|
|
ok so i'm 14/f. i'm 5'5" and like 105 pounds or around there. I don't want to lose weight, I just want to be more healthy. even though I appear skinny, I don't feel as in shape as I should be. Like I ran up the stairs today like once and I was out of breath by the time I got up. what exercises or other things can I do to get in shape? or food I can eat? thanks :] (link)
|
You are underweight. Your current BMI is 17.5 and it should be between 18.5 to 24.9
Just eat healthy. Lots of fruits and veggies, etc. And I'd recommend lots of lean proteins. Also, try some strength training, to build muscle mass.
If going up a flight of stairs makes you out of breath though, it may be asthma. If you continue to feel out of breath, talk to a doctor.

My sister just had a baby and he husband's last name is Wood. Well, my sister has always wanted to name her daughter "Holly". So we just need a few HONEST opinions here.
Do you find it tacky to have a girl named "Holly Wood?" (link)
|
I'd personally use it as a middle name.
But I've heard of crazier.
One of my friends mom is a teacher, and she knew a girl whose name was Crystal Shanda Lear.
|
possibly the best subject ever for a question.
My sister shaved our dog today as he's a labradoodle and has a fairly thick coat, that was just getting unbearable for him in the heat. However, my sister being the person that she is, didn't read any of the instructions, and did it while no one was home. Now my poor puppy is stuck with a bad case of razor burn. He's been scratching at it, and I was wondering if there was anything I could use to help soothe his skin. I've looked at the pet store and most of the skin care seems centred around fleas, so is there anything I can make at home, or a people lotion that is gentle enough to use on him? (link)
|
Aloe works wonders. And if your dog licks it off, it shouldn't hurt him.
Oatmeal baths are great.
You could try baby lotion. It is very gentle.
Go to a large store like Petsmart or Petco, and ask them there. They'll have special lotions there, if you want to use them.

Ok, so on new years eve me and my then friend got really drunk and my mom didn't find out until about a month ago. Well she has to go away for the 4th of july weekend and she's like you better work that weekend (what she means is you better not hang out with your friends while i'm gone!) I already said it was a stupid mistake that will never happen again! I need her trust back...and i know this sounds like i don't care or whatever but i still want to party. I mean i'm in high school i want to have the expiriance (sp?)Ok i need her trust back! (link)
|
Hey, I never went to big parties or got drunk, and I had an awesome highschool experience!
But first, kudos for not going behind your mom's back on this.
It will be hard to ear her trust. But here's something you can try.
Ask if you can have a party of your own. Plan out a guest list and such with your mom, decide what you are going to do, etc. Agree to call and/or have your mom call every few hours or so, to check up. This way, your mom knows what will be happening when she is gone. And keep her in the loop as to everything. Don't hide things from her.
Hope it helps!

I weigh about 117 and I am about 5'4, not bad at all. I am completely happy with my body except for my "love handles". They stick out past my underwear, bathing suit, or any low rise jeans. But it's weird because the rest of my body is basically thin. I just want to thin out the sides of my stomach. How should I go about this, and how long do you think it will take? (link)
|
One thing you may want to try is mid rise jeans.
Even if you are thin, love handles form because of wearing lower cut underwear, bikinis, etc, because it puts pressure there (so it doesn't fall). Wearing mid rise clothing will get rid of the appearance of the love handles.

I really want to get a kitten, but my mom keeps saying no. My dad says its fine, as long as my mom says yes. The kitten is free, but it still needs shots and stuff. My dad would take care of the fees, but my mom still says no. How do I convince my mom that a kitten is in fact a good idea? What should I say to her to make her say yes? (link)
|
Prove you can handle the kitty.
Try volunteering at the local shelter, or petsitting for your friends/neighbors. Learn about basic cat care, and show how you could do it. Discuss how you'd fit the cat into your life, when you'd feed it, clean its litter box, etc.
If you can show your mom that one, you really want a cat, not just a kitten, and two, that you have seriously thought about what is involved, she will probably say yes.
Another issue might be cat hair. Get a short haired kitten, a few lint rollers, and promise to vaccuum the furniture.
