about

I'm a photography major at a community college. I love music, fashion, art, my friends, books, films, theatre...and vampires. Ask me anything. I especially like questions about my opinions on something and questions that aren't even asking for advice.

I was in Hollister and I heard this really good song! The only lyric I can remember of it though was something that sounded like "gloria". Also, a boy and girl were singing it. It kind of sounded like a rock song, and it sounded new. Does anyone know this song. Oh yeah I tried to google it.

Random guess, "Wine Red" by The Hush Sound. Hope I'm right.

I'm pretty sick, & I have no energy for hardly anything. & all i've done all day is sleep, play games on my ipod & listen to my ipod, & watch tv. & that gets pretty boring after awhile. what else could i do? i can't be jumping all around..because i have a pretty high fever. my brothers both had this same thing. & it lasts about 4-5 days. any ideas so i dont lose my mind of being so bored??

Rent a good TV series or a bunch of movies you've been wanting to see and watch them, read books, read magazines, read the newspaper, write, listen to music (obviously), get caught up on homework, call friends or talk to them online, paint, myspace or facebook it up.

My dad has been SUPER angry recently.. ever since he found out he had diabetes, he has been more upset than before he found out. Could diabetes be the one causing his tempers? Or him finding out him having it made him angry, perhaps? Or both? I don't know.. but I am scared of him because he is always angry. What can I do?

One of the problems that most people have in the early stages of diabetes is random mood changes and they tend to take it out on other people. My mom does the same thing. Just give him his space. If it really starts to bug you try to confront him about it with your mom or sibling(s).

What is Seasonal Affective Disorder? How do you get it, and how do you get rid of it?

SAD is basically when your mood and emotional state of being change with the weather. For instance, you get a bit depressed in the winter. It's completely normal and pretty much everyone can suffer from it. Since the transition from lovely Fall to crappy/freezing winter kind of sucks, the remedy for me is to stay active and try to spend more time around people.

ok, so my friend likes this guy right.. and at one of our skool dances, i asked him if he liked her and he was all idunno ... i guess.. he gave her a huge hug at the end of the dance, and she is like soooo excited!
So i guess my question is.. how can i find out if he likes her.. like without being a pest to them..??
thx in advance!!!

That's something for your friend and the guy to work out, not you. Just a word of advice, if she asks you to talk to him for you, his first impression of her will be that she's too immature and insecure to talk to him herself and probably a little weirded out. Trust me, don't do it. Also, if he hugged her, it doesn't necessarily mean anything. I mean, I have a ton of guy friends and hug pretty much all of them every time I see them. Don't overanalyze it.

I saw you answered a question sort of like this, so I was just wondering: How do you make is so the picture is black and white, but one part is colored on PhotoStudio 5.5? Thanks.

I'm not familiar is 5.5, but if it's anything like CS2 (which it should be), what you want to do is use the lasso or polygonal lasso tool (polygonal lasso tool is easiest) to select the area you want in color. Copy this and paste it into a new layer. Make the first layer "black and white" by putting it in grayscale or turning the saturation all the way down (if you want to adjust your tonal values, channel mixing or lab color works best). I like to turn up the saturation a little bit on layer two (what you copied, the color portion of the image). And voila.

What are you supposed to do after a guy kisses you? Do you just sit there and don't say anything?

It'll all make sense when it actually happens. I promise. Don't worry.

how do i do selective coloring [i think thats what its called - when only one part of the picture is colored and the rest is b&w] on photoshop 3.0?

Use the polygonal lasso tool to select the area that you want in color, cut it and make it your "Layer 2". The first layer should be the original image. Put this in grayscale or turn the color saturation levels all the way down, and then go back to Layer 2. Turn the color saturation level up a bit to really make it pop out of the picture and paste it onto Layer 1. Voila.

I really want to get my stomach flatter. Is there a good diet for this? I am also going to start doing my zone pilates everyday. Also, i was thinking of taking some sort of weight loss pill, i know they are dangerous, but i am not looking for an extreme one. I am not overweight, i just have some fat, i need to get toned (i am like 110 and i am 5'4). The problem is that i am 16, so i wouldnt be able to order them because my parents CANT know...i need something from like a CVS.

Thanks so much!

I'm also 110 and 5'4". Your height and weight are normal, maybe even a tiny bit underweight for your age. If you excercise more and do more crunches, your stomach should look flatter relatively quickly.

what are some drinks, food, ANYTHING that helps speed up your metabolism? i'm not talking about excerise, cuz i'm well aware that does help. but for example, is it true adding pepper to your food speeds up your metabolism?

thanks in advance ! :)

Drink a lot of green tea. I usually have a hot cup of it in the morning and bring a water bottle with a green tea bag in it to school every day.

I'm in 7th grade & I'm taking Algebra1. Do you think this is advanced?

I was homeschooled and took accelerated advanced courses, and I wasn't even doing Algebra I in 7th grade, so yes, I think that's advanced.

wat trends are in style now? Also, how do you pull of the belt on the waist? I dont kno how to do it...

Trench coats and plaid are coming back. Skinny jeans are slowly on their way out again. Big, bulky yellow totes are coming in. Ballet flats are still in. Nautica is becoming increasingly more popular. The belt around the waist can't be pulled off by most people, don't do it if you have large breasts...wear the belt around your waist, below your breasts but above your waist. NOT right below your chest because it'll look incredibly dorky.

What is the difference?
I am seriously confused,
because I've heard that Agnostic means you don't believe in anything, and Athiest means you make fun of God.
Is that right?

An Agnostic is someone who has a religion or certain beliefs but is not currently practicing any rituals or a religious lifestyle. An Athiest is someone who believes that there is no god. Usually Athiests have evolutionary beliefs.

my boyfriend and i are thinking about having sex for the first time in the near future. i don't really have access to getting birth control because my mom would flip out and i don't have anyone who could take me to a health center type thing to get some.

my question is, is a condom effective enough to use without me being on birth control. will it be safe?? and is it true that there is only a 2% chance of getting pregnant with a condom?

When used correctly, condoms are up to 96% effective in preventing pregnancy, and if it breaks you can always get morning after birth control from Planned Parenthood. The question you have to ask yourself in the event that the condom breaks and you can't get morning after birth control is, what would you do if you got pregnant? I'm not saying don't have sex, I would be a hypocrite to say that, just be careful and think about it.

Your BMI (body mass index) is probably something like 21.0, which is a tiny bit less than ideal weight. You're normal.
