Well I was going to apply to this new store at the mall that sells pretty high end stuff even though I don't have any experience in retail because I was talking to the chick at the counter yesterday. We were talking about McDonalds and how it makes you fat and she seemed pretty friendly.
I walk in and I see this girl who graduated last year and she was really really popular (infamous). She recognized me but didn't say anything even though last year at school she would sometimes comment on conversations my friends and I would be having in the washrooms. She looked like she works there.
So I walk up to the chick from yesterday and ask her if her manager was there. She said she was the manager and then I asked if I she could take my resume. She said ok but she was with a customer (this customer was standing pretty far from the counter but then I realized that she was getting ready to make a purchase). I was like SHIT and was "I'm so sorry" and backed to the side. The woman took about five minutes to purchase and I stood there trying to look confident and watching this cute little girl wandering around.
Then the manager moved to the side and talked to me. I gave her my resume (in a sheet protector) and she gave it back to me saying she wouldn't need it. She asked me what position I was looking for and I said part-time. Then I blurted out that my timings were at the back. She looked behind and read them out. I confirmed them.
She told me she had never seen a double-sided resume before (Most of my friends attach their resumes with two pages stapled together). I said thanks so much and left.
On the way out, the graduate chick was walking by me and I tried smiling at her but she didn't look at me so I was like... Did she just shun me?
So I don't think I'm getting a call back now and my friends want me to go shop there next week but for some reason I felt like that incident humiliated me. I don't know why I feel this way but it might be because of the chick that graduated (I avoid shops where the popular girls work because they either glare at me or stalk me).
When I told my friends about the event, they think it went ok. So am I just being stupid or did I actually screw up?
If you actually said SHIT out loud, you screwed up. Nobody wants a two page resume. Period. Talk to your English teacher or borrow a current book on writing resumes from the library. And resumes should be made to not get back, so ditch the sheet protector.
It is easier to apply for a job selling things you really like, but sometimes it takes an extra push to get it because other people want it really bad. If you talk to the worker bee in the store, maybe she could let you use her as reference.

Okay I have to write an essay on patriotism that's 300-400 words long. I have writer's block BIG TIME!!! Does anyone have any ideas on how to start it??? Thanks! I'll rate 5!
Read some patriotic essays: John Henry's speech, Gettysburg Address, old presidential speeches in time of war, Martin Luther King, anybody with a strong idea of what they think America should be. Just google some stuff until you feel inspired.
You could just do a mental word assocation on what comes to your mind when you think of patriotism, and use that to form an outline of what you want to say. Don't think of all of number of words.
Interview several people into what they think about patriotism and how to show it.

13/m Hey all, I've got the longest story in the world to tell, but nobody wants to hear that. Basically, over the summer I realized that I loved one of my best friends, I told her, she's not sureherself how she thinks of me. And I'm not talking about any of that crap teenage infatuation. I know infatuation. I know love. This is love. Well, last night, I dreamt about her =D The last time I dreamt about her, I dreamt that I asked her out. I asked her out the next day but to no avail. Of course, I've been thinking about her and only her for months, ever since I discovered my true feelings. It's been making me fail my classes---like for example we just got our progress reports, and normally, I'm really really smart, I'm in all the advanced courses, but I got an F in science...
Last night I dreamt about her. It was in the middle of French class, which is weird because she takes Spanish, and her ex was there, as were my parents... anyway, at random when Madame (insert her name here) was in the bathroom, she told me how she felt: "Hey, (my name), I've been thinking, and I realized that I actually do like you as more than a friend." And she smiled, and we hugged, and I danced around the room. I made an idiot of myself, but I was too happy to care! She finally loved me back!
Well, the dream ended as we were about to kiss, because I don't think you're supposed to know what that feels like until you actually experience it. Now, why am I so obsessed with this dream? I'm not very religious, and I'm not superstitious in the least. I don't even believe in luck, with drawing cards from a deck or flipping a coin---there are variable factors that affect the outcome. So why should I be asking a question to 10,000 columnists about some stupid dream? The one supernatural belief that I have is in telekinetics, telepathy, and psychics. Especially between twins (it's a proven fact) or in dreams. Dreams frequently predict the future in my experiences, and my sister's, and my friends', and everyone's. So why should this be any different?
It feels like I'm writing a persuasive essay right now... Another reason why is because last time something like this happened, it was when I e-mailed her how I felt (I'm way too shy) not knowing that she was on vacation with no internet connection. Well, about five minutes after I went outside to play basketball, I started thinking about her a LOT. When I came in, I checked my e-mail, and one of them was from that exact time as when I was thinking about her so much!
But I guess the biggest reason of all... is because I love her so much and I just really want her to love me back, and my mind will do anything to make me believe that there's hope when there actually isn't. For all you DnD fans out there, if you have the Unearthed Arcana book, flip to the part about the sanity points. Well, it feels like I just lost all my sanity points. In a nutshell, it sucks to be me. What should I do???
P.S. I already started keeping a diary of stuff, as of 3 days ago... not really helping...
You seem like a narrow focused kind of person, at least right now. How do you know it's love if you have never dated? It's an obsession, and the reason you are dreaming about it is because you haven't solved in real time yet. Could you just go out on a date with someone else if you can't have her? Because you have to start somewhere.
I think that she does like you or she wouldn't be so cautious. It is really really hard to date a friend because it is so scary to possibly lose them. It is one of the hardest kind of relationships to start. It just gets weird.
I think maybe lay her aside for a while and gain focus back on school. Mainly because you don't want to miss out on future opportunity because of a current crush. It gets easier to balance the two with time. I promise.

My boobs hurt really bad when I wake up in the morning. But if I wear a bra to bed, they dont hurt as bad. I'm not big, only 38A/30B. Does anyone know why it hurts so much? Also, I dont really sleep on them. Thanks!
It's not a good idea to wear a bra to bed. I would suggest one of those camis with a bra built in because they are pretty comfortable. At least they aren't as restrictive.
They just tend to be sore when you are younger and around your period.

Okay my hair has been through hell. My original hair color is brown. Then I dyed it really dark, then light, then dark again. Then got it cut which took alot of the darkness out, then dyed it blonde, and then i took the blonde out of it..which left it light brown. Also I put a perm in my hair a while back, then wanted it out so bad because it was making my hair look so dry and damaged. My hair used to be real short, but in about a years time it has only grown from above my chin to my shoulders. It is so unhealthy at the ends, especially when I tried to take the perm out with a relaxing creme, and when I tried to wash the creme out the ends feel out, globs of hair came out, I was terrified. Now it looks so fried, and I have to straighten it for like 30 minutes just to get it from being all frizzy and damaged looking. I even trimmed it, but the damage comes back... I was wondering what products could I use to fix split ends, breakage, and dull looking hair? I have tried infusium 23, pantene pro-v, garnier fructics, I have also tried hot oil treatments, conditioners, and leave in conditioners....nothing works...
Stop the madness. Just let your hair be for a few months. No straightning, hot oil, blow drying. All of this processing has taken its toll. Find some really cool bandannas for a while. Then start trimming the bottom to get the bad ends gone. After some time has passed, your hair should be looking a lot healthier.

okay, I am 21 and still a virgin. I have done other stuff just not had sex yet. The thing is I was almost raped by one of my ex boyfriends and I am kind of scared of guys now, not all but some of them. I feel really pathetice because I am still a virgin and I am 21. Plus my uncle has aids and that is another reason why I am scared. I don't have a bf right now but am looking for one. When I do find one and we have sex how can I make myself less scared to have sex? Is there anything I can do to calm myself down?
any help will be great, guys and girls
I so promise you aren't alone. My fiance is 37. So he's a late bloomer, but he's waiting. It's been difficult as the "not a virgin," but I got tired of being stuck with the absolute wrong guy. It isn't easy to keep it.
The best way to have sex is with someone you can totally trust. Whether that is in marriage or not. That means someone to help you take care of the possible child or sickness that happens if you have sex. Someone who is there after all the possible good and bad things. So I would strongly suggest waiting, and don't let it bother you so much.

this is my fourth year of playing volleyball. this happens to be the WORST coach i've had to deal with yet.. we're gonna call her BA. she is my sophomore volleyball coach. she acts like we're playing the world championships, ya know? our team is really good.. we've won conference for three years consectively. BA makes us all feel like crap. if we make ONE little mistake.. like hit the ball out, she makes us do like 3 suicides. and i have really bad asthma so it's hard for me. when i mess up, she picks on me the most. everyone knows im really sensitive, plus i have a horrible attitude. today, i was having an off day and she kept putting the blame for EVERYTHING on me, when something wasn't even my fault. she made us run like 15 sprints because of me. i know all of the running is conditioning, but running doesn't help you in volleyball. it just makes you more tired, you know? the first 20 mins i was really off, but the rest of practice i was doing really good. i was blocking everything that came my way and my hitting was awesome. she didn't say "good job" or "way to go" at all to me.. not once. she really makes me feel like crap, like i don't deserve to be on this team. i come home and cry bc she really makes me feel bad. this has been going on since the summer, and i dont think i can take it anymore. i only play like half a game out of two games anyway.. she doesn't even use me. i really want to quit. i know it's the wrong thing to do, but i cannot stand my coach anymore. she never acknowledges me for everything. i need to talk to one of my parents about it, but they don't understand. they think im not trying hard enough, when i really am. when i can't breathe, i still bust my butt. so i have two questions for you
1) if i don't quit, how can i handle my fear against my coach, or how can i stop being so sensitive about what she says to me?
2) how could i get to my parents to make them see what i have to deal with?
sorry this is sooo long.. but please.. i need any advice i can get.
The best way to make them quit bugging you, is to act like you enjoy it. Give them attitude isn't going to get you anywhere. Just put your best out there 24/7. Coaches talk tough so that you will be tough. It doesn't mean that you aren't a valuable part of the team. As long as you are doing your best, then you have nothing to be sensitive about. Think about what you are saying and how you are feeling before it actually happens and figure out a way around it.
It is generally better to stay active even if you have ashtma. I am sure the coach knows of the warning signs if you are having problems. Things are just a little harder for you in general.
Whining to your parents isn't going to get you anywhere. They are probably going to say that you agreed to be part of the team, and walking out now isn't going to accomplish anything. Besides, this could help your on your college admissions at the least or a scholarship at best.

Anyone who calls me a nerd, dork, geek, etc. will geta one. Anyone who is a smartass about this will get a one.
I like to play DnD, right, and I have the DM Guide, the Monster Manual, and the Player's Handbook. Last month, I considered starting a DnD group. But that idea sort of died down. Well, a few days ago I picked up the Unearthed Arcana book, and I realized what all I could do if I was DMing a campaign. So now I've been asking my parents about it again, and they say once a month---at most. Also, they reccomend that we do one all-afternoon thing to see how they like it, what they want more of, what they like, etc. So I need to know how long each session should be and stuff like that.
Also, these people are fairly low roleplayers, fairly high meta-gamers. I'm probably gonna give them each a disorder as encouragement to roleplay and make the games more humorous---not handicaps, more like being gay, thinking you're a vampire, OCD, having a lucky charm, etc. Is that a good idea? Also, any tips on how to create a scenario? Thanks all!
Role playing can suck up way too much time if you don't give it a frame. On the other hand, you really want to play at least a couple of hours so you have time for things to happen. I would suggest make it an afternoon with an end time. I have seen so many people ruin their schoolwork by being sucked into game play.
I wish I could remember the actual name of this game, but I remember that swashbuckling and the "trench coat mystique" was part of it. There were more zany things than that, but that was my favorite. The swashbuckling meant you couldn't enter a scene by just walking in. I actually got extra points by swinging on the chandelier.
The trench coat thing was whenever someone said "I wish I had.." whatever it was materialized in the trench coat.
You don't have to have "real" attributes to be fun. And using the books as a stepping off points will help you with scenarios. You can also borrow from your favorite books and movies. If you need an outline, write it down.

You are 13. You have many more years to select the right guy for you. Don't chase him around, make him chase you. Boys can smell desperation from miles away. Just enjoy any time he spends with you, and be careful which benefits you partake of. Because sometimes "friends with benefits" means he is just using you for whatever you will give him.

my (powder, i guess) makeup just fell and broke in a million pieces. is there any way to fix it?
If it fell on the floor, it isn't worth saving. There will be too much bacteria involved. If it just broke in the container, you can us a brush like they mentioned. It might actually be easier to use.

Do what everyone else suggest, but if you just cut out your calorie laden sodas, you would be amazed how much that helps. If you are going for inches in the correct place, exercise will help the most. You could also get a body wrap the day before.

I have a friend who has been trying to kill herself. I have been trying to get her help and doing everything I can, but nothing works. SHe takes a lot of advil, and i was just wondering, does anyone know how much advil it takes for it to be enough medicine for the person to die ?
You are more likely to do damage to your stomach and get ulcers than to be killed by advil. She needs help now. Tell a teacher, parent, counselor, adult. And definitely give her the suicide line number.

Hey there! How do you become less addicted to the computer and the internet! Hehe, its really weird because even when I have so much things to do, I still find myself on the computer and wasting time. What to do?
Get a kitchen timer and set it for how long you really want to spend on the computer. When it goes off, get off the computer and go do something else. Time management is an important and useful skill.

You have to stop completely or you are screwed. And even if you passed a urine test, it stays in your hair for months, and they can test that too.

I just got back from the Six Flags in my area. I've been going A LOT lately, since I have a pass (8 times in these past 2 weeks, lol) and today was the first day my inner thighs have been soar. I've been doing the same amount of walking (we'll only be there for a couple of hours before it closes) everyday and its not that much... but now they're soar from rubbing up against eachother. I have to walk funny to avoid my thighs from touching. Why are they sore all of a sudden (they're all red and burn) and is this because my thighs are touching (I've noticed naturally skinny peoples' thighs don't touch...)
Oh yeah, I really wish my thighs didn't touch either. It's just a rash. Don't wear shorts for a while, and that may help. Be sure not to walk around in wet clothing because it makes the situation worse.

Get a job and move out. Well, is there anyone you can talk to in authority that you trust? There is no good reason for her to abuse you like this. You need to tell her how it makes you feel.
She hates herself. It has little to do with you. She is selfish and careless. I would put my money in a bank or a safe where she couldn't get to it. You are going to have to protect yourself and get some assistance because she is out of control.
And tell her she can clean her own stinking bathroom until she learns to share some of the responsibility of cleaning up.

4 of the past 5 nights, I have been waking up in excruciating pain. This pain is in my knee cap. It's not something I experience when I first wake up in the morning, it's something that attacks during the night, causing me to awaken. You've got to understand and believe me when I say this - this is the most dreadful, awful, intense pain I have EVER experienced in my ENTIRE life, hands down, without a SINGLE doubt. To be perfectly truthful here, I generally cry when I'm physically hurting, as it helps me cope with any ailments I might currently be dealing with. However, crying over my sudden and harsh knee pain doesn't make much sense to me. No amount of tears, and no tantrum I could possibly throw would do this pain justice. I find that it only upsets myself more. In the past I have always be able to rely on my tears to calm myself, and now that I DO NOT have that, I'm unaware of where to turn.
I know that I'll NEVER have a proper diagnosis until I see a doctor. Problem is, I'm not covered by Insurance, as we just moved to a new state, and my father's job does not offer benefits. But who's kidding who; the REAL problem is that I am AFRAID to inform my family. I'm scared they might TRY TO take me to the doctor. I know this is what's best for me, but the doctor/hospital is my biggest fear EVER. I realize if my pain is THIS insane, avoiding the doctor/hopistal is plainly prolonging the inevitable.
I'm not really sure about what it is I am asking here. I suppose I would just like some opinions, suggestions, guesses, ideas, knowledge... ANYTHING you might have to contribute!!! =/
- I'm female; a few days away from 17.
- I'm not exessively large, but I guess I could stand to lose a few pounds?
- Again, this has ONLY occurred 4 of the past 5 nights, and ONLY during the NIGHT.
- I know that the weather can do some funny things to your bones, but the weather in Connecticut has been in the 90's for the past couple of weeks. Always humid and consistent. The weather has never had an affect on me BEFORE - at least not that I've ever NOTICED, so I'm skeptical that the weather is causing my pain. At this point in time, I'm not going to cross ANYTHING off as a possible cause.
- This is ONLY in my LEFT knee. ONLY in the knee cap ITSELF - not the entire leg, and the pain does NOT "jump" around.
- My sleeping position? Generally [and ALWAYS the case when I have experienced this pain] I have been sleeping on my RIGHT side. MEANING, my LEFT leg didn't have much weight to speak of resting upon it, understand?
- I guess it's important to add that I have a "condition" where my legs and feet randomly swell up like Stay Puffed Marshmallow Man in Ghostbusters..... This used to be insanely bad [not to mention highly disgusting] but ever since I've gotten the proper leg braces, that problem seems to be no more. Now, what CAUSES that random swelling? Salt. Basically it's where salt gets stuck within my body, causing it to expand. You might be thinking that it's the LEG BRACES that is causing this, BUUTTT.. I haven't been wearing them for the past three weeks. So the problem IS NOT the WEARING OF them. This has lead me to believe it COULD MAYBE [just as it "COULD MAYBE" be anything else]... but it COULD MAYBE be my NOT wearing them that is having this affect on me. But if this is so, why haven't I ever experienced this in the past??? Yet, problems have to start SOMEWHERE, right? But really, my legs have only been a problem TWICE [as far as swelling goes] in the past 3 weeks since I've neglected to wear my braces. Honestly, I don't believe the cause has anything to do with this. Also, when this swelling is present, it starts at my toes, and works it's way UP my body. It never has a chance to even REACH my knees, because I catch it while still in my foot.
- This brings me to my diet: My diet hasn't changed much within the past 4-5 weeks. I've obviously been cutting back on my salt intake. Other than that, I really haven't been over eating or under eating any. I eat until I'm full, and I then call it quits. I NEVER drink milk or soda; ONLY ONLY ONLY water, and A WHOLE LOT of it. The past week my Mom [who is the one who generally provides all of our meals] has been away on vacation. During this time, I've been properly fed. But to be honest, I've sort of replaced lunch with a package of Austin Peanut Butter Crackers, which are very high in sodium. If this IS NOT having an affect on my SWELLING, I severely doubt it's having an affect on my KNEE CAP. As I previously said, I am not willing to discount ANYTHING as of yet.
- I'm not involved in sports, and since I am new to the area, my friend count is a complete zero, so needless to say I don't really go anywhere. So no... I haven't hurt it during some crazy practice drill or anything. I know that I can hurt it anywhere, but don't you think I would have noticed the pain [at least a TINY bit] if I had pulled or torn something?? And if you think I might have done this, why does it only attack at night? Not even during the day in my long naps in the SAME sleeping position.. but ONLY at NIGHT. Is that just coincidence???
- This pain strikes suddenly, and ONLY leaves when I begin to work my joint like a mad man. I generally lay there in pain for about 5 minutes, before I gather up enough courage and willpower to begin extending my knee. Once it's fully extended and moved around for about 10-15 seconds.. the pain DISAPPEARS ENTIRELY!! I would NEVER know it even happened.
Can someone tell me.. is this a "common" thing? Does it ever happen to YOU? Know any possible remedies or temproray solutions? What do you *ADVISE?
I understand you are not a medical professional, but I would be ever so appreciative of some guesses here. Please, anything you've got. This pain is so intense, my body begins to shake violently, and I get the urge to vomit. :D It's just not a pretty picture. Last night I slept with a huge garbage bag at my side, as I expected the pain. Can I predict the future or what -- I'll be damned if it didn't happen AGAIN. =[
Thank you, all, very very much for ANY information you provide.
Mackenzie
My apologies on the length of this question. I was trying to the best of my ability to NOT leave any details out, clearly.
In case you're curious, you should expect a rating. It's the least I can do.. :D
Do you take a multivitamin or eat bananas? You may need some potassium. I would try that for a few days to see if it give you any relief. If there are exercises you have done in the past for you leg problem, I would suggest making sure to do those. Sometimes it's just a horrible muscle spasm. They usually make me scream bloody murder. But after that, you have got to find some way to go to a doctor, even if it is the local health department. It will eventually keep you from sleeping, make you irritable, and affect your grades. I hope you start feeling better soon.
