First off, I wish my average rating thing was my GPA. Heh.I'm a girl, 15, generally use good grammar (yay!), and a huge fan of sarcasm though I know when it's appropriate and when it isn't. Politics, psychology, philosophy, and history all fascinate me. The music I like usually falls under the genres of psychedelic and classic rock. I hate rap. And George W. Bush. I like giving advice because it gives me a warm fuzzy feeling knowing that other people are crazier than I am.
Ask away, I'll try to answer anything!

Hey!
Well My mom and I really want to get me into modeling. Like not like the boring modeling. Like the real hardcore modeling Like abercrombie & stuff. But I know you have to start somewhere.
I live in a town in Coloraod & its not the type where theres like ads everywhere asking for models.
But I dont where to start. Do I get an agent? & How do I get an agent. I really dont know anything about this!!
Alright, well first off you have to be quite unique or interesting looking, tall, and skinny. You can be the most gorgeous girl in the world and not make it in the modelling world, the business is tricky like that... you have to have the right look and the right attitude (you have to not mind being bossed around!)
If thats all good, then you need to get a portfolio together, some agencies do this, but usually charge a fee. You could probably start out with asking your mother or maybe a friend who's taken photography classes to take pictures of you... a close up shot of your face, full length shot of you in a swimsuit, and a side profile of your face would all the good things to have. Make sure you're not wearing too much makeup in it, agencies want an accurate picture of what you look like.
Once you have a portfolio, find a good agency. By good I mean somewhere that's somewhat respectable and doesn't offer anything sleazy like social escorting or nude photoshoots.... you don't want to get yourself in that position. Try searching Google for agencies around your area. Most websites of places have an email address up or a phone number, so contact them and schedule a meeting. When you meet with them, dress appropriately (i.e. not too skanky or anything, but something that has a unique flair to it) and be as friendly and honest as you can. If they accept you, awesome, if they don't, dont worry about it, just try again somewhere else.
And also DONT expect to get into Abercrombie & Fitch type modelling when you first start out. After a few jobs, you'll get more experienced, and with experience will come the more high profile stuff that you want. Also don't expect to make much money at first, inexperienced models aren't paid much. If you make it through the first couple of jobs and stuff you will probably see your oppurtunities starting to get better.
Also sweetheart, modeling isnt as glamourous as it's cracked up to be. Models spend days intensely practicing for runway shows and have be able to stand in the exteremely bright light while hundreds of people in the audience analyze your every move to see if you're doing something wrong. Photographers are usually exteremely picky and it takes many many takes to get something right. It does have its perks though... theres nothing quite like seeing yourself in an ad!
Take care and have fun, hope everything works out for you.

idk wut category this goes under. :oP
BUT
is it bad to sleep with eyeliner/maschera on?
Its not a big deal, but I'd wipe if off with a makeup cleanser or just plain water before you sleep. Otherwise in the morning it might get all dry and flaky.

thanks!!

heyy well heres the thing .. i'm getting old and i haven't started to shave my legs yet. with winter coming up i can wear long pants but in gym, we have to change into uniforms that are shorts. all the popular and good looking guys are in my gym class and i don't want them to get any wrong impressions .. i want to bring this up with my mom but it really gets uncomfortable talking about puberty and such .. i really need some help! thanks ahead of time !
Ease into it.
I went in steps, first I bought his hair removal cream stuff that you apply onto your legs and leave it on for a few minutes, and then wipe off.
Then I went to shaving, which was MUCH more conveniant, and since I had already used the cream it was much easier for my mom to accept it.
Later, I started to wax,and by then I was pretty experienced with that kinda stuff so my mom kinda let it go.
Some girls use bleach to lighten the hair on their legs and make it less noticeable, but its a big pain and takes too long.
Just gradually talk to your mom about it, and soon she'll accept it. Chances are, she shaves too! :)
alrighty, one of my good friends is...i guess what people would call a 'music elitist'? she's very unique and listens to old rock bands like the who and the beatles and stuff. she acts like she doesnt care what anyone thinks of her, but obviously she does or she would try so hard to be different, right? anyway, I on the other hand, am to her, the stereotypical prep. yeah, i get up and take an hour to get ready every morning, i shop at stores like AE and GAP, and i listen to pop music. whenever i give her a ride home or anything, she's always criticizing and making fun of the music that's playing, and if i go to the bathroom to fix my hair or makeup, she HAS to make a comment. i really do try so hard not to say anything to her about it. i tolerate her BLASTING the who and coldplay in my ears when i'm around her without saying anything, and i completely respect her political and religious opinions (WHICH ARE COMPLETELY OPPOSITE THAN MINE) and she doesnt. what do i do??? today i got mad and i blasted the music in the car and i kept making fun of her music, but now i feel bad. what do i do to tell her how i feel without coming off as a total b****???
Woah. I hate to admit it, but you have just described who I was a year ago to PERFECTION. I listen to the Who and Beatles and everything too, and always spat out random music trivia that I just sorta assumed people were as interested in as I am, even though was hardly ever true. My best friend is like you, she likes pop music and shops at those kinda stores and stuff, and she had to point it out to me when I was being an annoying bitch like that, because I just didn't see it otherwise! Although when she said it sometimes I think I was very defensive, but I really did make a mental note to stop being so irritating. Personally I dont think your friend is "trying hard" to be different, I think its just a case of different tastes. YOU NEED TO TALK TO HER ABOUT THIS, cos my gosh if my friend never told me about it I'd probably still be acting like that! And eventually my friend started to discover the certain beauty of the kind of music I listen/ed to, and I swallowed my stupid pride and admitted that her music wasn't all that bad either... I started caring more about how I look, she started to become more relaxed... and we just fit together so perfectly, so just give it time okay? And dont worry if she gets defensive if you say something about it, cos I'm sure she really does listen to what you say and try to improve, she just has too much pride to admit it!
I'm sorry this answer was so jumbled up.
Good luck, I hope everything goes well for you :)
I'm in the mood to read some good books. Does anybody have any recommendations (preferably from young adult or if not from there than not too boring and old lady like). Thanks!
Sophie's World by Jostein Gaarder. I read that this summer and its such an amazing book.
And Then There Were None and Endless Night are good thrillers by Agatha Christie.
The Jeeves series by PG Wodehouse is super hilarious, but you have to understand British humor somewhat.
The Catcher in the Rye by JD Salinger is really great, don't think its boring just because it's a classic, its a very intersting novel.
I recently read The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time by Mark Haddon, couldn't put it down.
Hope that helps!
out of the blue 2 guys like me at the same time. i chose the one that i knew the most. we have been going out for a day and hes saying he loves me and i just feel confused and i want to tell him that. but then this other guy is so sweet and says he would never cheat on me and stuff because the guy im going with is what you would call a rebel. i really dont know what to do please help me
It won't be fair to guy #1 if you're constantly thinking about guy #2, and vice versa, so if you think you're gonna do that then pick neither for the time being. But, if you're fully willing to commit yourself, then try sticking with #1 for now since you *did* pick him, and you know, rebels can be sweet and loyal too :). Maybe you're just glorifying #2 because you're not with him at the moment.
But really,
Who makes you happier?
Who do you have the most in common with?
Who's personality (and looks!) are you more attracted to?
Who do you feel most comfortable around?
Who do you "click" with more?
If you dont know the answers to these, you need to spend more time with both of them!
And remember, two guys are always better than none :P
im so unhappy. i dont really know why, people just bring me down with stupidity and selfishness. i guess mostly just teenage problems, im just afraid this unhappiness is going to get to far. ive picked up smoking, and drinking, and popping pills, just to feel better. (no cutting or anything i think thats rediculous) but i guess my question is, what do i do to make myself happier. what can i say to myself or do for myself without having to go to a doctor because im another one of the millions of kids with "depression"? 17/f thanks ahead of time
Teenage angst, my friend.
Everyone goes through this. Don't worry. Smoking, drinking, and popping pills are just as silly as cutting is, so I'd suggest you try to lay off it for a while and find a more natural means to make you feel better. Fill your life with the people you love and that love you, do everything you enjoy, and remember, don't take life too seriously, no one can get out of it alive anyway ;)
If all else fails, see a counsellor or therapist, it may not seem like they'd help, but they really do. Use anti-depressants as a last last last resort.
It may take some time, but everything ALWAYS sorts itself out, I've realized that, and soon you'll realize it too if you just hang in there :)

Hey. I was recently thinking about becoming a model, I dont know...just for fun for a little while. Everyone says that Im really gorgeouse (spelling??) and that I should go for it while I am still young. The thing is..I have no idea where to start!!! So I guess my question is, how would I break in...are there any former or current models here that could help. I just dont really want to get screwed over by some stupid company that says they know what they are doing, but really its just a scam...I've heard the horror stories. so Any Ideas??? Easy 5's!!!
I have a little experience in this area.
Modeling is really a tricky business cos you can be the most gorgeous person in the world and still not be right to be a model. You have to be very tall, skinny, and have the right attitude for it... you have to not mind people bossing you around.
If this all sounds okay, then you first need to get a portfolio together. Some agencies do this, but make sure they don't charge you much for it. If you don't have a portfolio, you can get a friend thats maybe taken a photography class to help you out... normally you'd need a straight shot of your face, a profile shot, and a full body shot of you in a bathing suit. Remember not to wear much makeup in the pictures, companies want to see how you naturally look like.
Next, find a agency/company. MAKE SURE that it doesn't do anything sleazy with their models like social escorting or nude pictures. Try using google to search for some good ones around your area. Some agencies offer an online application where you usually fill in details like your height, weight, waist measurements, bust size, etc etc.
After this they'll probably call you to schedule a meeting, bring the pictures you have with you, and remember, be friendly and confident. After asking you a few questions they'll tell you whether or not you're what they're looking for, and if they don't accept you, don't worry about it! Try again somewhere else.
Modeling also isn't as glamourous as people think it is. To prepare for runways you need to practice for days, have tons of make up piled on you, be constantly ordered around, and stand under the boiling lights while hundreds of people analyze your every movement. For photoshoots you need so much patience to deal with people telling you exactly what position you need to be in. You need to be extremely self confident, otherwise you'll have a hard time because photographers and runway coaches really tend to pick you apart. Also, don't do this for the money... if you do, you might end up disappointed on how muc you make at first. Aside from that though, models really do get a lot of cool things...they get invited into lots of awesome parties, meet amazing people, and I mean, seeing your face in a magazine is pretty damn exciting.
Okay, sorry this was soo long! Give me some feedback on how it goes, okay?
Goodluck, stay strong, and have fun :)
I recently met this guy and we're now dating. We aren't exactly what you would call the cutest couple because well, some people don't believe we belong each other. Those some people being my friends.
I'm what you could call the preppy high school cheerleader that hangs out with other preppy cheerleaders/jocks.
He is...well I'm not sure what he is. When you look at him you think oh, just another punkish looking emo druggy kid. Which is what my friends think. But, he really isn't. He did voluntarily dye his hair black and has an eye brow and lip piercing. Along with another one that is below the belt that I haven't seen yet ;P.
But anyway, back to the point. He's a sXe(straightedge). If you don't know what that is, it means that he doesn't drink, doesn't do drugs and doesn't believe in casual sex.
I was recently involved in an accident. The accident should have never happened because we'll the driver and I were drinking. Fortunately, I'm still alive. And because of the accident I've decided not to drink anymore. (I met my bf after my accident).
My friends think that my bf is BS and that he's just kidding himself. And obviously, do not like him. His friends and I get along fine and he doesn't mind my friends, except for the fact that they don't like him. What should I do?
Does he make you happy?
If he does, other people's opinion of him shouldn't matter much. Tell your friends to get over it, its not them thats dating him, its you. And tell them that if they cant find it in them to like him to at least respect the fact that you do.
But one important thing to remember is to not desert your friends. If theres a break up you dont want to suddenly find yourself void of both your boyfriend AND your friends.
So what you need to ask yourself is, is this guy worth it? If he is, stick with him all the way, if he isn't, listen to your friends.
Goodluck. (And sorry if that didn't make much sense)
i need a list of a LOT of rock bands. dont ask why.
over 5-6 is a five. rock bands, but not gay bands like simple plan and good charolette.
The Doors, Rolling Stones, Beatles, Velvet Underground, Grateful Dead, AC/DC, Guns n' Roses, Red Hot Chili Peppers, Led Zeppelin, Pink Floyd, Aerosmith, Allman Brothers Band, The Calling, Creed, The Darkness, The Kinks, Neil Young, Queen, R.E.M., Ramones, U2, The Who, CCR, Creed, The Clash, The Byrds, The Hives, Lynyrd Skynyrd, ELO, The Yardbirds, Bruce Springsteen, Bon Jovi, Elvis Presley, Elvis Costello, Jimi Hendrix, Neil Young, Lou Reed, Janis Joplin, Bob Dylan,Iggy Pop & The Stooges, Jeff Buckley, John Lennon, etc etc etc
What's the difference between rock musics? Like I've heard of punk, ska, emo, rock, hard rock, screamo, death metal, etc. etc. What's the difference? And any others you want to add in feel free!
Punk- Revolutionary music. Something that stirs up society. Usually very upbeat. (Ramones, The Sex Pistols, Television, The Clash..predominantly 80's)
Ska- Kind of a punk/reggae fusion.. (Five Iron Frenzy...90s)
Emo/Screamo: YOU'RE PIERCING MY HEARTTTTTT I HATE YOU FOR DOING THIS TO MEEEE YOU'RE THE ONLY ONE I EVER LOVEEEEDDDD YOU KEEP STICKING NEEDLES INTO MY SOULLLL blah blah blah. Whiny, annoying bands whos lead singers all sound exactly the same. Dashboard Confessional, Yellowcard, Taking Back Sunday.. 90s- current)
Rock: Came about from a mixture of Country and Blues.Usually consist of a vocalist, guitar player, drummer, and a bassist. Guitars are usually the main sound. Just for the record, SIMPLE PLAN IS NOT ROCK KTHX. Strong beats, powerful vocals, usually upbeat but can have slower rhythms as well. ( The Doors, The Rolling Stones, The Beatles... 60's was the golden era)
Hard Rock: Like rock, but usually with a edgier sound and a more powerful vocalist. This came about mostly in the 70's. (Guns n' Roses, AC/DC)
Death Metal: Noise. Hard to listen to, understand, or enjoy. Usually for very frustrated individuals. (Black Sabbath.. 70s as well)
Rap: Overrated talking. (Eminem, Nelly, 50 Cent...90s-now)
Psychedelic: Usually drug-fuelled, crazy, trippy stuff... really creative and interesting to listen to though. (The Grateful Dead, The Velvet Underground, Jefferson Airplane...60s)
I know you didn't ask for what decade they were from, but I thought it might be useful to know. :)
Oh and if you have any more music related questions ask away, I'd love to answer.
should i carry a purse to a homecoming dance tonight?
It depends on what you want to take... if you're taking a cell phone or camera or anything else you might wanna, but if its just cash I have a friend who always just sticks hers in her bra :P
Although this could have bad consequences...once 200 dollars fell out of her dress and she got some weird looks haha
Have fun :)
can someone help me reword this so i can understand it better:
"We are examining the role of steady state chemical weathering on Earth"
Trying to find out what happens when chemicals regularly have bad effects on the Earth.
what does orgy mean?
A wild sex party.
(www.urban-dictionary.com is a good site to go to for questions like these)
14/f. Here's the thing. I am so in love (ok, like) with this guy. There's only one problem-He's my teacher! But he's so hott! He's also funny, nice, and smart. I really like him, but I don't want to b/c he's too old for me, and nothing's ever going to happen between us. How can I convince myself to not like him?
You cant control who you have feelings for.
Though, that being said, this is probably interfering with your education somewhat (starting at the teacher rather than listening to what he says! =P) and also, it must be at least somewhat frustrating knowing that nothing is ever going to happen.
Try focusing on people around your age, go out with a few hot guys, and hopefully you'll be over him soon enough. People have crushes on their teachers all the time, but make sure you don't turn this into an obsession or anything... haha it could be embarrasing if he caught you doodling his name on your work =P.
Goodluck.
ok things have gotten really stressfull in my life right now and i need soem help. the only way i have found to handle my stress is smoking. i have smoked for 4 years offa nd on. but never as much as i smoke now. about a year ago a pack would last me almost a week. now it barely lasts me over a day! i want to slow down, but i tend to get grumpy and really super stressed when i do. any ways i can either cut down with out freakign out or just take away some of my stress? i know smoking so much is only harming my body not helping, but i dont know any other ways to handle my stress
Writing (/blogging) is a good way to handle stress... complain, curse, whatever... its much much less harmful than deteriorating your health with cigs.
Smoking is something you cant exactly just quit off the bat. It has to be gradual. At first, try to get back to a pack a week, and the limit yourself to 5 cigs a week, and cutting down from there. When you're ready, try the gum/ patches.
Goodluck. Gaining freedom from the urge to smoke is really worth it in the end.
