Q: does anyone know where to download ebooks or whatever of harry potter?
thanks:)

i don't know, but i do know that the 7th book is coming out on 7/7/07.... it's kinda cool... :]

Q: you know that girl camille from bring it on: all or nothing? well her name is solange knowles smith, so is she beyonce's sister?

yah, it is her sister. :].

Q: Alright, my mom says that I shouldn't be an actress because she doesn't want to see me waiting tables when I get older. But I love acting, it's what I do, I mean my nickname is basically Drama Queen. But now I don't like much attention, yet I still want to be an actress, that or do something with animals. Everyone says that I'm a great actress, and I'm waiting for for the play I always wanted to do, Romeo and Juliet. Ever since I was like 5, I wanted to do this play. But I think I should just end my acting career now. Who am I kidding, show buisness wants an actress to be beautiful and skinny, which im neither. What do you think I should do? Should I end my acting career?

thx. ^__^

it doesn't matter what you look like, a lot of actresses aren't super skinny. i would stick with acting no matter what antone tells you. don't let just a few people let you down. i can tell your a good actress by the way you asked your question! :]

Q: Does anyone know of website I can go on that when you type in the name of a play it gives you a summary of it and info about the characters?
Thanks!

you can try google.....

Q: My dad's making me start tennis this summer, and i don't really have a choice, so, ya. Anyway, I'm pretty athletic, I play soccer, volleyball, basketball, and I take a dance class once a week. So do you have any tips on some basic things for tennis? Like anything. I don't want to look like a retard when I go to the camp thing.
Thanks!

P.S. Does anyone know if they care if i wear earrings? thanks!

well, starting a new sport is a good thing. if its your first time playing tennis, then you should know nothing, just the basic things. they don't care if you wear earrings. the basic thing is that you want the ball to go over the net, what a backhand and forehand swing is, and practice swinging. good luck, and have fun!

Q: This is from: Am i doing the right thing?

Do i have to tell her the reson why i'm leaving is because of her? if i do i might break her heart. right? or will she understand?

you don't have to tell her its about her, just say that you think you should have a new experience in life in a differnet place. if you tell her that you r moving kuz of her, it will break her heart, so just take it one step at a time, and go with your instinks.

Q: I have been doing gymnastics for basically my whole life. I thought that it basically defined me until this year, when I joined track. I'm a really good sprinter, and hurdler. I qualified for states in both events, and it's my first year. The problem is next year, my brother is going off to college so my mom is getting a full-time job. I won't be able to get my lisence for another two years, so there is no way I could drive my self to sports, but my mom said she would only have time to drive me to one. Plus, I'm going to need to get a job. My question is, what would be a better choice? (in your opinion, I don't care if I should do what my heart desires, because I have NO IDEA!) haha. but back to that point, would it be a better choice to stick with the sport I know and am good at, though I might not excel as much as it, along with all of the friends I have made throughout my time in that sport? Or should I continue on with the sport I will undoubtedly go far in? Please tell me why you chose the sport as well. Thank you very much!

if i were you, i would stick with doing track because you can meet new people and its some thing new! you'll get faster, which if ever get tired of this sport, then you can do a different sport because you are very fast at running. you'll probably get tired of gymnastics 2. look at the cost difference, which one costs more, what's the difference between the 2. if you have to get a job, and your mom will have to get a full time job, then chose the cheeper one so it's not as expensive. no matter what you chose, both of the sports are good. GOOD LUCCK!

Q: In one year or so i might be moving with my parents to hawaii, i want to go cause its my home land and i want to move away from CA. I made great friends and i dont want to leave them. i realized i gained feelings to my bestfriend. i told her how i felt and she knows. she didnt respone to me about it. so i knew she didnt care for me in that way.

But i've been geting alot of body lang from her of liking me back. i ignor it but she dosnt want me to.(what i mean is, she flirts and always grab my attention, and when i walk away from it she gets mad or try her best to get my attention again)

the other reson i'm moving away is because of my feelings. I dont like it that i'm in luv with my best friend who is a women.
if she does want to be with me I'll say no. i might break her heart (i know).Because i'm afriad of what people might think.

But if she dosent have feelings to me i'll be happy. but i know i'll be jealous if she is with someone elus.

Am i doing the right thing? of running away from it all? i cant blame her its me i blame.

i can stay here in CA without my parents because i'm 20 yrs old women and i can live on my own. But i dont have a good paying job or a car. so i have no choice.

but still is it right for me to just leave and ignor whats going on between me and her?
i know i need to talk to her and i will soon,but what would you do if your in my shoes?

if i were in your shoes, i would talk to her, tell her how you feel about her, and then tell her why you are moving. talk about you fellings for her, and if she doesn't feel the same way, then tell her you are moving away. don't think of it like running away from her or anyone else, but think of it as a new chance in your life to meet new people and get a new relationship. you will make friends there. still, keep in touch with all your friends from cali. good luck! :]

Q: i get jealous of people easily, and it's really annoying. i wasn't like this before and nothing really happened to make me jealous of people. if my friends get a cute expensive purse from their parents, or if my friend gets a ring from her boyfriend, i'll get jealous. i'd want to go shopping and find something that nobody else has that i know they'd like. same with looks, if i thikn i girl is prettier than me, i get kind of upset and i wish i were her. it's seriously super pathetic and i dont' know why i'm like that now! how can i stop being jealous?

that happens a lot to me 2. i just start 2 forget about it, though. like- maybe i'm not supposed to have that, or i can find better things than her. but i have the same problem, but its just because all my friends are spoiled. not all, but some. when you think about something they have, compare it to the best thing you own, and try it from there.

Q: Alright, so, I'm an arachnophobic... Well, I think so.

My mom grabbed clothes from my floor and other things onto my bed and when we were done putting them away, there was a spider there. So, that means the spider must've been on something to get there, because it wasn't there before (unless it WAS? eep) & yea, the point is, she killed it.

But now, I'm afraid of even going near where that spider was, & now I think they could be on my floor, or in my clothes..

And logically, I think, well it's dead. & it was there the whole time and I didnt freak out until I saw it so whats the problem..?

BUT I don't know and I can't get over it! Pleaseee.. I want to be able to sleep in my bed again :( haha.. i know.. sounds very stupid.. but plz.. help?

the exact same thing happened to me. i get freaked out so easily by bugs- any type.. but aftter a few days- i forget all about the situation. you will 2 hopefully. there's nothing to worry about- a lot of people r like this. like me! haha...... i hope u find a way. :]

Q: Hello, I'm a guy, nearly 17 and my hair is past my chin :)
The problem is it takes hours to dry! I'm told it is thick hair, and fairly straight, slightly wavy.
I would like to wash my hair every morning before going college but it's impossible..

My method of washing/drying is:
Shampoo -wash in
Condition - ends only
After shower:
Twist hair to get most of the water out, go mad with the towel, comb it through and get a true parting. I then put it in a pony tail and let it dry that way..

Whilst on the subject, I also lose alot of my hair from combing and washing in the shower, which annoys my parents :P

hey- shampoo and condition the whole thing. it will make it better. then get out, dry it, and keep it straight down. there are some "after conditioning" hair products which are used after your shower,, u put it in and it dries your hair and makes it feel way better! you'll think of something- just don't put it in a ponytail. or get a trim- it willtake shorter to dry.

Q: I'm having my braces removed in a couple of days. I'm concerned though, 'cause the dentist said that it's a 2-day process.

I got them on October 31st, 2005 (no candy for me that year, i know!). So it's been like 2 point something years so far. What should I expect during and after the removal? Blood? Weird nasty tastes?...Tooth decoloration? Pain?

Also, the dentist will file my teeth 'cause they're not all similar in length. Will that hurt or bleed or anything?

And is the switch from braces to a retainer a big jump? Did anyone get braces then retainers?

I'd like to know what it was like for you guys. If you haven't had them, it's ok, i'd still like to know what you think awaits me!

I'm 18/f.

Thank you. =D

ok- well i just got my braces on in february- remember the process? that icky glue taste and all that? nothing like that is gonna happen probably. first- they take off your rubber bands- then your metal band. now all your left with is the metal squares that hold your teeth in place. they have to take that off. i don't no how though. sorry. it wont be too bad.GOOD LUCK

Q: How long after you eat can you excercise? And how long do you wait after you finished eating to excerxise? Because I eat after I excercise and my stomache hurts. And I excercise 30mins after I eat and get a stomache ache

when i exercise, i usually don't eat before it, i eat like a banana after i exerise, thats really good for you afterwards, just don't eat

Q: I really wanna tone up my but and upper legs right below my but and lower stomach. Im alright at the minute I just wanna be a lil bit more tonned.
Ive tried doing squats and lunges but it just seems to be toning my legs?
Please help

try crunches for you stomach, and for your legs, eat good and get exercise. also, when your not hungry- don't eat, unless it's fruit.

Q: hi i just asked a question like 20 seconds ago about getting this guy's sn and how to ask my friends BUT i thought of an idea:

what if i gave a list of like people's sns i need & asked my friends? would that be obvious? & in the worst case they'll think it's someone on the list. you know? ugh i hate my friends... they're so stupid. :] thanks!

what i do- i use the aim email, and if one of your friends email you something that they emailed to a bunch of other people to then ask them who those people are.

Q: Thirteen, almost Fourteen.
110 Pounds.
About 4' 10'

My stomach almost makes me look pregnate when I'm not sucking it in, which is weird, because I used to do 100 curlups a night. I've got a four pack if I suck my stomach in, but I always feel fat and disgusting.

Is this normal? How should I adjust my weight? (should I gain, lose, or maintain?)

don't worry, you'll grow... and if you're really confused about your weight, the just try to eat more fruit and vegetables, healthy food... maybe do 500 crunches a night, you'll see a difference, trust me! Good Luck!

Q: I need some REALLY good chicken recipes [I have chicken breast],
I don't know what to do with it. I've tried a lot.
I just want something that tastes good, is easy to make, and one that you need basic ingredients for.

PLEASE help. :)

Thanks

make a chicken fillet- they're always great tastin, and they are so easy to make!

Q: Hi! I'm sorry if this is kinda long, but please help!

Alright, to start off, my best friend is in major LOVE with the band Relient K. I thought for her birthday it would be intresting to get her tickets to go see them. There are 1 parent going, and 3 other girls, me and her. Tomarrow the 3 other girls are comming over. We are going to figure out a way to present them to her at her party [ since most of the people at her party either wern't a part of it or wern't allowed to go. How should we approach this? Creative ideas wanted!!!

wrapp the tickets in side a bunch of things, like a bunch of boxes, with maybe some bracelets inside it 2 or something like that. have fun and be creative!

Q: [question#1]will i get a flat stomach and smaller thighs from this:

breakfast: special K cereal
lunch: hot pocket
snack: fruit/vegetable
supper: something not fatty
drinking plenty of water
doing like 300 situps everyday

[question#2]anybody know any THIGH excersices?

omg! i eat special k every morning- and i've gotten skinnier... maybe a hot pocket wouldn't be good 4 you, but maybe something like that. fruits and vegetables are always good, and drinking water is great-better than milk... 300 sit-ups might be harsh, i don't see a change in that. try doing 500 crunches- it made a difference on me! a thigh exercise could be lunges, or just run.
Hope you get an idea!

Q: Ok well this one kid that i like, and he likes me asked me to the movies ( to go last weekend).

1. We don't talk to much b/c i'm a freshmen and hes a junior so we dont' see eachother to much. And we only talk on aol and hes only on aol like once a week.

well he asked me to the movies (last week) and that never happened b/c we never talked to make plans after that.

WEll then i talked to him Sunday and i was like we whould go to the movies this weekend ( b/c we didn't get to last weekend) and he was like yeah we should. And he was like hows friday? and i was like yeah thats good.
But then we kinda stopped talking about that.
So now is Wednesday night and he hasn't talked to me after that, therefore havn't made plans.
So tomorrow is that last day we could pretty much make plans.

It just pisses me off. he says that he really likes me and stuff, but never talks to me. He always tells my friend to say things to me but never just talks to ME.
URGH this sucks all makes me upset. and idk why
should i be freaking out over nothing? and what are some ways i could talk to him at school.
like things to say to him (b/c we've havn't talked in school)

(fyi...i went out with this guy last year, he broke up with me and everything ended pretty sucky, so having him likeing me again is relaly GREAT, but at the same time it sucks b/c he isn't talking to me in person, just on aol)

hey- justbeyourself- and if you see a break-up coming, you should break up with him first... you'll find a way.
