I wonder who farts more girls or boys. Is there any research? Whats your opinion?
you know im really not aware if there are any documented studies on the comparison of rate of flatulence between genders but my guess is it would depend on the person and on the whole is about the same. bottom line?
i think its probably about even but obnoxious guys are just more likely to tell you about it. my ex boyfriend is like that lol. girls tend to be more subtle about it
Hi. (13/f)
I love to talk to people, but when I want to say something, I'm speechless. I just don't have any news. What kind of general stuff could I say? I read that talking about the news and stuff is good, like looking through a newspaper in the morning then using news as your topic of convo. I use that for long conversations with my hairdresser or people like that, but not with my friends. I just need unimportant things to say that are funny and witty and are interesting. Like I sit next my friend Jordan during art class at school, and the only thing I can figure out to say is how "wonderful" his drawing is. I just can't figure out something to say that's like interesting, but casual and kind of pointless, like interesting talk that's solely for the purpose of breaking a silence. I see these people everyday, so it's not like I can ask what they do after school, what kind of sports they play, etc because I already know. Any help please? I hate just sitting there not saying anything.
well do you like this jordan person? tat might be giving you a problem talking to him.if you want to talk to him then drawing upon things from around the room is a good idea, like You Got Advice said. but the random interjections have to be used correctly. like you can tell him somethign about yourself even if its sort of random. it can be totally innocent like "so today after school im goign to.." or "last weekend i..." you know? its hte best if you have a particularly funny story to tell. whats great about this is you dont have to be the funny person in the story, it just has to be a funny story you heard or took place in like "so thi sone time my friend and i were downtwon and there was this Free Hugs guy..." or you can use the fact that its art class. like say you were drawing an apple (i did in my art class.)
you can ask him for help on it. be like "how should i shade this?"
it just takes practice. i used to be really shy when i was in my early teens too but as i got older and more confident it was easier and easier. im sure it will be for you too
we play these games like the "bang" game where we act like we're shooting each other and then ask "who did i shoot?" and the trick is that the first person to talk is the one that was shot. does anyone else know any games like this?
yea like the hat game.
its pretty much the same thing but sort of with a twist. what you do is have everyone sit in a circle (best played with like at least 5 ppl) and then the person who knows hte secret of the game, the Hatter, aka you, is like
"ok i have the hat, i pass it to (ex name of person in circle), who passes it to so and so, who passes it to...." and the more complicated you make it the better. then you say, "who has the hat now?" and the trick is whoever talked first after you say that has the hat. repeat this. it really confuses ppl because youre in a circle and youre making up all these complex stories of who has the hat.
this game torments people.
have fun. :]]
What song is this. It goes like "your gonna need a body bag, ill break bones you didnt know you had, when im done there will be nothing left of you for your friends to hold on to when they find you cold and blue face down in a parking lot." Id look for it on google but i dont know who sings it either. Thanks.
the song is 'body bag' by the artist Hit the lights. i have never heard of this band or this song but you can type lyrics in to google too and it will come up with the song you want. all i did was copy and paste the lyrics you wrote into google.
I have to get braces in 7 days. I just got my spacers in today. How exactly are braces put on, what are the parts to braces, and what colors look good together. Which colors make your teeth seem whiter, I was thinking about getting dark pink and light blue or dark pink and light pink. Which would you choose?
ive had braces for two and a half years
braces are made up of two parts, bracket and wire
the brackets are glued on to your teeth, one per tooth, but they might start you out with like four in the front on the top or something
then theres a wire that they wrap around each individual bracket, and a wire that they weave through all the brackets
the colors come from little rubber bands that they loop around your brackets
since the brackets are so small i can tell you that theres not really a color thats going to make your teeth look that particularly whiter
and youre probably going to get bored with the colors after a while anyway so just have fun with it
i would say choose some cute colors like purple or blue or anything you like
i would stay away from
black (becase do you really want to look like you have black on your teeth?)
yellow (looks like plaque from a distance)
and red (looks like bleeding gums)
anyway good luck and always remember to brush!
So there is this guy I really like. But I hardly ever get to see him. Recently I've been wondering if he likes this girl named 'Kelly'. 'Kelly' kinda looks like me, shares my name, and we have a good bit in common. I think they like eachother because they sit near eachother during lunch, usually walk with eachother when school lets out, and he sometimes passes by our classroom [which isn't even close to where his classes are]. or could they be hanging out because she's telling him some things about me? See he used to flirt with me and if I was confused he'd be the first one to help. But if she is telling him somethings about me that'd explain why they walk together after school, my last class is with 'Kelly'. But he could just like my name.. he went out with another 'Kelly' a year ago. So what is going on!?!
Honestly, I think if he's spending that much time with Kelly number two, then you should give him that space and I know this sounds horrible but don't get your hopes up. Unless you have concrete evidence to believe that Kelly the second has told him things about you in the past and their relationship is based purely around hooking hte two of you up, he probably spends time wither her jsut to...spend time with her!
some signs? OK. When they're walking together, do they often look back at you? Does he? Does she? How often do they walk together, and when they do, how close to each other do they stand? If they are whispering things in each other's earis, or if their arms are often linked, then they are flirting.
I have been in situations similar to this, but the best advice is to not get your hopes up too much, unless you assume that they are talking about you on FACT. And besides if this guy has a Kelly fetish I think that's a little weird personally, but I guess that's just me. Best of luck. (PS- I've known a few GUYS named Kelly, do you think he'd go for them? ;-)
Hey well I need to present a project on the 13th in front of the 10 and 11 graders and im in 9th grade and I cant do it Im not prepared im SUPER shy and so is my partner and she talks really really really really low barely I can hear her so My question is??? What should I do about my shyness becuase there is this girl in the 10 grade that talks about the peoples style and talks alot about people and I hate that..So what should I do???..I need help ASAP!!!!
Ha I'm sorry to laugh at this question, it's not you, it's just that I am giving a very similar speech tommorow =]
Here's what I did:
1)Get together with your partner on multiple occasions and practice together, but have your practice audience in the next room. Tell your friend she gets a donut if they can hear her speech in the next room.
2)Practicing alone? I know this is going to sound weird but practice in your underwear. taht way, if you happen to forget your pants you won't be nervous. Just kidding. But that will make you more confident. Just think, "If I can do this in my friggin underwear then I should be able to do this with pants on no sweat!"
3)And the girl who talks about people? I've got a great trick. Try to give her eye contact as you speak. Stare her down girl! And as long as you take care to look fabulous on the 13th she wont have anything to say about you anyway!
Above all remember it's just a speech and try to have fun with it. Fake it till you make it. The more comfortable you look up there, the more comfortable you will actually FEEL
hey guys. I'm Jackie, I'm 15. I have liked this guy for a while. And we flirt and stuff. He acts like he likes me, but he told my friend beth that he only likes me as a friend. I try to get over him, but everytime i get close to it, I see him, or talk to him and I fall right back into liking him. should I get over him? And if so how? please help. thankss
*Jackie*
Realistically, it sounds like he might be one of those guys who flirts with lots of girls (believe me we all know the type). If this is the case, he might act like that a lot with other girls. Next time you're around him, try to pay attention to that. Does he flirt with lots of other girls? If he does, then you have two options. You can A) Just be the cattiest, most flirtatious queen of them all, or B) You can back off and even move on to new territory (I'm not saying permanently though). Once he doesn't have you around he may realize what he's missing. And if he doesn't he was never worth it anyway.
Ok that was the sentimental way to handle this like a mature person. But you want to know how I would handle it? Here's what you do. Go for one of his buddies. Jealously can be a monster and if you're always flirting with his friend, he may become more interested in you. I know that sounds horrible but unfortunately it is a prime example of how the male mind works.
Just plain want to get over him? I reccomend the Summer 2006 issue of Rolling Stone (it has Johnny Depp on the cover ;)
If you've seen Moulin Rouge, do you know if it was based on a true story. Like was there the "diamond dogs" and the "sparkling diamond"? And a show called "Spectacular Spectular" if you could tell me, that would be great.
Toulouse LeTrec was a famous artist who did paintings of the Moulin Rouge which was and is, an actual building in Paris, France. The movie Moulin Rouge was inspired by his paintings. Certain concepts or characters, such as the Master of Ceremonies and the can-can girls were suggested by his paintings, but the plot and character development are fictional.
Hey.
I am leaving all my friends next year. So I made a slideshow of like 100 pictures--- it takes about 5 minutes to go completely through. And so I was wondering, does anyone know any songs like that? Like leaving friends behind or something.
I'm more into 60s, 70s, 80s rock. But anythings good. Thanks!!!
the song "graduation" by vitamin C always works for stuff like that. i know that artist's kinda lame and the song's a little dated, but at the end of every school year my friends and i sing that song and it kind of makes it special.
For extra credit, I have to submit something into my school newspaper. What should I chose? Poem or short-story? The thing I don't like about poems is I never feel it has that artistic flow that it should. And what should I write about? It can be anything but I need something interesting yet not embarassing or weird.
I love writing myself. What I tend to do, is first decide what kind of message you want to send. funny? moral? touching? real life? (i find touching/moral usually makes the best impression.)
funny: think of somehting in life that you find ironic. (ex: the word "lisp" has an "s" in it). see what media feels most comfortable to the context. if you want to write something especially bouncy, try a poem with a snappy meter. If you want to get more into characters, try a short story with a memorable cast, perhaps drawing on real life characters.
moral/touching: think of something in life you find poetic. Pick a universal theme, (ex: patterns in life/death). If you find repetition of certain sounds or words that make a visual pattern (ex:
visual
pattern) seems to make more of an impact on your topic, try poetry, perhaps free verse if you feel rhyming would be too bouncy. If you opt for a short story, try to really utilize word-devices such as similes and metaphors.(ex: "and her hair fell about her in an ashen curtain that mirrored her clouded soul). Try to make your concluding sentence a zinger, being very touching and having to do with the theme.
real life: for real-life, there's not much of poem you can do unless something remarkably touching or brilliantly amusing happened to you that you could describe. A short story would be much easier, as you dont have to worry as much about meter of format, and you can still try to stick to the main message as well as the actual events. I find that this subject is often just an inspiration for me to write in funny or moral, as i'm constantly thinking of how the events could have played out bettter lol.
I know this has been long, but hey, at least now you can trust me, I'm definitely a writer!!!!
hey everyone my girlfriend and i are coming up on two years i thought that maybe i would make her a CD with songs that make me think of her is this a good idea and if you think it is can u tell me some up to date good love songs and any other ideas we are only 16 too thanks ill rate
it really depends on what kind of music she likes. that sounds like a wonderful romantic idea. whatever genre it is, try to include a mix of catchy songs and nice mushy ones.
theres this guy and hes a freshman and im a 8th grader and weve been talking for 4 months not boyfriend and girlfriend tho cause we dont wanna go threw all the breaking up stuff. but hes fingered me 3 times and we made out alot but i dont wanna go any farther i wouldnt mind maybe giving him head i just dont wanna have sex. is there anyway when were "hooking up" to make sure nothing goes too farr?
it sounds like what you need right now isnt someone to tell you what you are doing is right or wrong. if you just want to make sure you dont get carried away with this boy, you might try wearing a certain type of "unsexy" underwear or something of the like. Trust me, granny panties will instantly remind you.
ok i want to exercise but i have bad asmta what can i do that can help with fitness
thanks in advance
Have you asked your doctor for help? If you don't have one currently, it might be helpful to enlist the help of a physical coach or a teacher of yours. But I know of a few exercises that I don't think would affect your breath too much, and you can do them anywhere!
1.) while sitting at a table or a desk, put your arms flat against the top and push down as hard as you can against the desk. Hold for ten seconds then release. Do 5 reps.
2.) Stand with your feet parallel and rest your hands lightly on a shelf or something of the like. roll onto your toes and down rapidly 10 times. Do 3 reps. Try to roll through your feet.
3.) Put a book between your legs at the knees or some other flat item, and squeeze your knees together as hard as you can. Hold for 10 secs then release. Do 5 reps.
And also, if you're just looking to stay fit, remember the take the stairs instead of the elevator trick? Well, believe it or not, that works. Even pacing wjile you're on the phone, wlaking to the mall instead of getting a ride; it all helps!
i am really lonely right now. i have one best friend and like 2 people think im their best friends but i dont like that that much. i do have people who i consider friends though. ANYWAY, i really want a boyfriend right now. that may seem slutty but im really lonely. i really want a boyfriend. what can i do? thank you so much. ill rate for good answers, not smartass ones. that = 0. k thanx bye
Ok, if you want a Dr. Phil answer, I should tell you that you shouldn't need a bf to feel supported, and that basing a relationship on loneliness will probably not end well. But I know that may sound smartassed, and you would probably like some real advice. I think what you need is a change of scenery. Try to kind of get in with a new click. Maybe get together through your one best friend, and start hanging with a new crowd. You'll make lots of new friends, create some good memories, help you feel less alone and more comfortable with yourself. (Plus, once you're feeling a little more grounded, you just may notice a new guy with lots of boyfriend potential!)
Ok, well I know it's a ways away, but my friends and I are getting a head start on Halloween. I was going to be like an 80's chick. I have the big jewelry and I was going to wear a side ponytail, a miniskirt, and a shoulder shirt, with some leg warmers and pink converse. But, I also thought of maybe being Marilyn Monroe. Another thing is, I will be with my crush. What do you think i should be? Which one would look cuter? Thanks in advance. I rate! :D
Just my opinion, I think you should go as Marilyn Monroe. But there are pros and cons to both.
Marilyn Monroe--
Pros: It lets your crush not feel pressured to be matching you; it's fun, sexy, and cute; it's a classic
Cons: It has been done a lot; you would have to buy a costume
80s chick--
Pros: you can be more creative; you already basically have what you need
Cons: You would have to plan whether you were going solo or starting a theme, and have to deal if you wanted to be the only one, or if you wanted your crush to go matching
I'm sure you've realized most of this, but in my opinion, Marilyn Monroe never goes out of style, and it's perfect and flirty for your crush!
Where can a get a good list of British 19th century movies. I love Jane Austin adaptions like Emma, Sense & Sensibility, Pride & Prejudice, Etc. I have been searching online, but have had little luck. Any recommendations?
Well, actually there is a new adaptation of "Pride and prejudice" comeing to theatres very soon. I saw the preview for it a few weeks ago! It sounds like something you might enjoy if you don't know about it already.
Can anybody tell me some really good hip-hop music.. i want some thats not popular and everyone is listening to it now-a-days. Something original.. Like Screens falling by SPM.. its not huge but its a good song. Like that. thanks
I already answered this question when you asked me, but I'm not sure if you got it so I wll answer again. I think you could try a contemporary artist like Jem. Her stuff id really trippy, kind if different, and not all too popular. Her album "Finally Woken" is really fun to listen to and you can get it for cheap on ebay and probably amazon.
hey, whats a good name for a female golden retriever? my family is getting a puppy but we need to give her a good name... any ideas?
thanks in advance
Well, I could give you a list of a million names, but I think the best thing for you to do if you don't have a name in mind is let the dog choose. I kno it sounds stupid but really, go online and get a list of names and start reading them off to him. He may respond to some more strongly than others. This will help you have a good relationship with your dog as well.
hey I'm 14, short and skinny for my hieght. I wanna know how to get a six pack or something along those lines. Any tips/steps? Has it worked for you/ someone you know? Also should my eating habits change?
As long as you're eating healthy and not losing weight all over the place you should be fine. Everyone's body is different. you have to accept that you're growing. But if you want a toned tummy though, there are some exercises you could do.
1.) Try doing about 20 crunches every day.
2.) Lie on your back and lift your legs to a 90 degree angle, then lower them. Do this about 20 times every day.
These exercises will tone your obliques and abs. If you want something more professional, you could opt for exercise tapes, they're all over ebay!
