Hi, I was wondering if someone can help.

I'm looking for an adjective to describe my way of looking at life. Basically, i see life as pre-destined, and whatever happens happens and couldnt have happened any other way.

What is the name for this sort of thinking?

Thanks :)

That's sounds sort of like fatalism (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fatalism), determinism (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Determinism), or predestination (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Predestination).

Hope I could help :)

okay in the town where i live, all the cheerleaders have these little wooden signs in their yards that say [school name] cheerleader. well i just made cheerleading and my parents wont let me put my sign out because they think its "tacky." and actually, i dont really like it either, cuz i feel like its kind of bragging. but the other girls have been asking me why i dont have my sign out, and i don't know what to say. i dont want to insult them by saying my parents think its tacky. so what should i say?

Oh man, that is tacky. *shudder*

Your parents have kind of given you an easy way out. Just tell the other girls you're not allowed to put the sign up, and don't elaborate. If they ask you why, bitch about your parents and they'll leave you alone.

Hey! Well I'm into blue cheetah print, but I don't know whether to but the dress from Urban Outfitters or the ruffle tank from Alloy.

http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/shopping/product/detailmain.jsp?itemID=28883&itemType=PRODUCT&iMainCat=10&iSubCat=15&iProductID=28883

vs...


http://store.alloy.com/item.do?categoryID=22&itemID=47801&sizeFilter=&colorFilter=&brandFilter=#

What do you think? Which one would you buy?
Thankssss

Well, the Urban Outfitters link says it's currently out of stock, so I guess it's kind of a moot point.

If it's any consolation, the Alloy top is way cuter and significantly less expensive :)

what would you call that kind of shirt?

Are you asking about the sleeves or the graphic?

A shirt with sleeves like that is called a raglan.

^So basically, I love that.
And I was wondering how I could wear it to school without making it look too fancy?
Maybe like a thing white zipper jacket? or something...
itd look weird with jeans right? I'm not sure how long it is...

It's reallly cute.

First of all:
Please, please, PLEASE don't wear it with jeans. That's a surefire way to ruin a cool dress.

Two ways of casualizing (...that's probably not a word) a dress is to wear a solid colored t-shirt under it, or a denim jacket over it. You could always just keep your hair, shoes, and accessories really simple, and you wouldn't look too overdressed. Or, like you mentioned, a white zip-up jacket would look pretty awesome.

I hope I helped :)

Does anyone know when The Office Season 4 will be coming out on DVD?

Season 4 hasn't begun airing yet, so I doubt there will be any information on it's release any time soon.

If you're thinking on Season 3, which just finished, the DVD comes out on September 4th.

the sound recorder on windows only records one minute at a time, then you have to hit record again. anyone know i can make it record longer, or any free programs i can download that will record until i push stop?

Yeah, Windows sound recorder kinda sucks.

Try Audacity. As well as recording sound, you can also do a lot of pretty awesome editing.
Here's a link:

Hey! Well I'm looking for new sneakers, and they have to be flyyy lol. So I was looking at these:

http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/shopping/product/detailmain.jsp?itemID=29874&itemType=PRODUCT&iMainCat=121&iSubCat=557&iProductID=29874

^^what do you think?

Additional suggestions would be greatly appreciated :]].

Those are super hot. Urban Outfitters has some pretty rad shoes, I gotta say.

I have to disagree with a few people below me...I think that's an awesome color combination. While they wouldn't *traditionally* go with everything, they definitely wouldn't clash either.

Here are a couple other options in similar styles:

I got a bank teller job and you have to dress up, what are some good ideas? and I have long thick hair whats some good ways to do my hair that look professional?

For your hair: a ponytail, a bun, a braid, a solid colored headband, a French twist...you can probably get away with wearing your hair down as long as it's clean and brushed.

Just keep your outfits simple and understated and you'll be fine. I would suggest investing in a pair of pinstriped pants in black or brown, and maybe button-down shirts in a few colors. Pencil skirts are also good--they're cute and very flattering.

Good luck at your job, I hope I helped :)

does anyone know of a free online spanish program that helps you learn? I am on level 2 or 3 if that helps... I googled it but I need advice to know that they dont have virus or anything. Preferrably one that is fun and easy to use, but anything really.

www.studyspanish.com

I'm in love with it. Not only does it have a lot of information in an accesible format, it also has free quizzes so you can practice. It's pretty much the bomb...

I hope I helped :)

ok wlel im wearing the white and red dress to my grad

http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r155/wind_miko/dress.jpg

Do you think i can wear a black fake beaded necklace with it?

First of all:
Woot! You picked the cuter dress :)

As someone below me said, if you're going to wear a black necklace, it would be better for you to do black shoes or like a black headband or something.

I personally think that dress would look better without a necklace...maybe dangly or hoop earrings? That's just my personal opinion...you should wear what you like best and makes you feel most confident.

Have fun at graduation!
