Okay, On This latley i been hearing alot about "MYSPACE" What the heck is it???? Help im confused!!! Maybe teach me a easy way to do it too? THANKS!

-Xo-Thank-You!-oX-
Sry i didnt know what category to put this under..

http://myspace.com is the site. Basically, it's for keeping in touch with your friends and meeting new ones. You have a "blog" type thing (Although almost no one on myspace uses their blog), you can add "friends" to your list, you can leave comments for people, and things like that.

Personally, I say don't sign up for it. If anything, at least sign up for a Xanga (http://xanga.com) if you have not signed up for that yet. Xanga is better in my opinion. Xanga is a blogging community where it's like an online "diary" or "journal" type thing. Xanga is very easy to customize once you get the hang of it.

If you'd like to see my xanga it's located at http://xanga.com/poorcookie

I use "GIF Animator". You can search that up on google or something. Yes, it's free. I looked it up on google for you and found this: http://www.jhepple.com/gif_animator.htm If that download link doesn't work, just search for another download site for it.

I also have Ulead GIF Animator Lite Edition, but I never use it. This version is free. You can look that up on a search engine for a free download.

If those don't work out for you, check out this page: http://www.v-direct.org.uk/AnimatedGifs.htm Scroll down to where it says "THE TOOLS - ALL INCLUDED PLUS LOADS MORE..." and there will be more animators listed. You can search for those and try them out.

Good luck!

Honestly, I do not think anyone will write a poem for you. If you don't believe me, wait and see who replies to this question. It is your grade and your poem, you cannot make someone else write one for you. Do your own homework. Plus, if you don't give credit on who wrote the poem, that's plagiarism. And I don't think you'll give credit because then the teacher will say you didn't write your own poem.

But I will give you advice on how to write that poem of yours. Since the topic can be ANYTHING, that should be easy! There is no such thing as a bad poem. Everyone's poems will be different and what is good or bad all depends on the reader's taste. The only way you'd make a bad poem was if you wrote something like "I like cheese. It's cool. Yes." So just get writing and don't be afraid of what comes out.

To get you inspired, you can look a pictures (your own or from the internet or a book), or read some inspiring quotes (you could search "inspiring quotes" on google, you'll get plenty of results). Some topics at the top of my head: a crush you've had, your best memory, what really moves you, what makes you sad, how you are feeling etc.

Get writing and good luck.

Just be patient with your dad. I'm sure you can live a little longer without buying nice things =b But if you're really eager, just remind him...simple as that. Or write a note and put it in his pocket or something so he'll see it when he's at work. Or email him so when he checks his email he will be reminded. Hopefully something will work. But it's no biggie, he'll get to it (=

It's true that most internet making sites are scams, but I wouldn't say all of them are scams. If you're going to go and try out a money making site, just make sure it is SAFE and the payment sounds REASONABLE. Safe, meaning you don't have to give out your address and stuff like that. Reasonable, meaning they don't hand out money just like that because that means the site will eventually close down since that'd be too much money to pay people.

Right now I'm trying out http://www.ibux.net/?r=2611 . If you can sign up for that, that'd be great. lol, but the decision's yours. I use this particular site because the payment sounds reasonable. It's not like they pay you 3 cents per search. They pay you 90 percent of what they get. Which means they'll never have to shut down because they're paying people too much and they're going poor. They will always get 10 percent no matter what, so everyone's happy. It's safe because you can use a paypal account (paypal.com) and they don't ask for anything else. Paypal is safe, if you've never heard of it. If you check out sites, you'll see they ask for donations or payment through paypal. It's quite popular and secure.

So those are my tips to you, good luck!

You could download http://palfun.com. I'm using it, and it logs convo's. Not the greatest though, but I'm using it for now.

Just look up for recipes online. I did, and I found this: http://robbiehaf.com/Recipes/O/79.htm

You could eat a big breakfast so you won't be as hungry throughout the day. Eat like an upside down pyramid...eat less as you go through the day and never eat at night.

To stay on your diet, you could record everything you eat. If you ate a lot of junkfood, recording all of it down would make you realize it and it might make you feel bad and stop eating. lol. Just stay away from the kitchen. lol.

You can also try out this site: http://www.fitday.com/WebFit/Index.html Yes, it's free ;) Good luck!

I'm going to give you advice I have given to many other people.

First of all, do you even have a girl in mind you really like? If the answer is no, then why are you depressed? You need to wait until you DO find that girl and ask her out. Until then, you can't go around being depressed about being single when you haven't even found the girl you're crazy about.

I'm assuming you are a teen. You don't have to worry about being lonely for the rest of your life! You have plenty of time to find your soul mate. You can't get depressed just because that special girl hasn't gone out with you yet.

My brother is twenty three and he still hasn't found love. I'm not sure if he ever will because he pushes away everything and thinks marriage is stupid. That doesn't mean his life is worthless. You don't have to get married just to be happy. There are many people out there that are not married. Your life doesn't have to revolve around having a girlfriend. And if you have excellent friends you can live life happily without being tied down.

So whether you find someone or not, you will be happy, as long as you try to be and work for it.

My point is, everyone has a boyfriend or girlfriend at different times. Even though it may feel like you're the only person "lonely and single", believe me, lots of other people are too.

So the solution is to stop wanting a girlfriend. We make ourselves suffer only because we want things and because we are selfish. If we put those selfish wants aside, they will come to us when they come and you don't need to mope around all day waiting for it.

Nobody "needs" a boyfriend or girlfriend. Heck, we could go through life without one. Don't be a dependant person. Enjoy life single while you can. A guy doesn't need a girl just to be happy. If you kept yourself happy and surrounded yourself with awesome friends, you wouldn't worry about getting a girl all day long. There are many things in life we can achieve and they don't require having a girl by your side.

Being desperate for a girlfriend is not a good thing. You know why? Because it makes your judgement cloudy. You'll probably end up going out with any old chick. That's bad because you want someone special. Which is exactly why you should just let life take its course and wait for the perfect girl to roll along.

And if she never comes, so what? The truth is, not everyone finds love. But that doesn't mean your life is worthless. Your life is what you make it. So make life great.

I'm assuming you already read my link to "How to get someone to kiss you" on my advice column? If you haven't, you should read it. Here is the link: http://www.advicenators.com/qview.php?q=308815

Try out the tips I mentioned on there.

Seeing him only at school is a problem. You can't exactly get closer to him if you only see him at school. Some things I can see right off the bat are: You don't spend enough time together, school isn't exactly a romantic environment, and having classmates and peers everywhere can be intimidating.

Since he's a totally shy guy, like you said, I can see why he isn't kissing you. At school there are students and teachers everywhere. He might not want to kiss in front of these people.

My best advice to you would be: See him outside of school. I'm assuming parents are the problem you can't see him. There are ways to see him even if your parents are like that.

Don't think "Oh, that's easy for her to say. She doesn't understand."

Because...I DO understand! My family doesn't know about my boyfriend and we've been going out for more than six months.

What are some ways to see him, you ask? Well first of all, have you tried talking to your parents about this? Have you showed them you are mature enough? Have they met him? Maybe if they met him they'd like him. If that's scratched off, you could go on "group outings". Go out wiht lots of your friends, including your boyfriend. And then you could even spend some time alone with him. You can ask your parents to pick you up after school later and have your boyfriend do the same, so you can see each other after school. You could also say your boyfriend is your bestfriend. That won't be lying either, unless you and your guy aren't that close. If they knew he was your bestfriend they'd be okay with you going to see movies with him, going to the park with him, or things like that. Those are just some ideas.

Once you've got that down, kissing will be totally easier since you won't be at school. Try the kissing tips I mentioned on that link. And if none work, just go for it yourself, I say.

If there is absolutely no way to get out of school, you're going to have to be patient. If you want to kiss him so badly, go for it yourself. If he is really shy like you say, he might not be ready to kiss yet. If that's the case, you'll have to be patient and wait until he is ready. Let him get to know you better so he'll be comfortable kissing you. Again, this has to do with seeing him outside of school.

If he is shy, one way to prepare him for the kiss is to talk about it. Talk about how you've never gotten your first kiss before. You hope he can give you your first kiss. Stuff like that.

Don't worry about getting a kiss before high school. Even if you don't get one, it's not like it matters. You've got your whole life to get tons of kisses ;) Plus, you want your first kiss to be special, so don't rush into it. Good luck!

You're not alone on that. It's kind of weird how you can practice for hours alone and when you get up there in front of everyone those hours of practice went to waste.

Maybe once you're up there, you can pretend no one is there. Pretend it's just like when you practiced at home...you're all by yourself. Eye contact with the audience is good, but what would you rather have? No eye contact, or a shaky, nervous break down? And then from there you can build your way up. Actually, you could just focus your eyes on the tops of their heads, not their eyes. Move your eyes from one side of the room to the other once in a while. It might make it look like you're having eye contact, even if you aren't.

When you are in front of everyone, just think of everyone watching as your friend. If they were all your friends, you wouldn't be nervous would you? Talk to them like you'd talk to any other casual friend of yours.

Just remember that there's nothing to be embarrassed about. Don't think about what will happen. Just focus on what you're trying to say. And before you know it, the presentation will be over and you'll get an A+! And talk with a somewhat loud voice...that might keep your voice from sounding shakey. Plus, hearing your loud voice might bring up your confidence level. And if you have a good friend in the class watching you, just glance at them when you need support. Don't forget to smile! It makes people think you're confident and it releases those feel-good chemicals.

Next time you go up, take a deep breath and have confidence in yourself! Good luck!

You said you want to go on the blind date. So go on the date! No buts.

Don't be positive about being negative! You don't know for sure he won't like you. You don't need to be extremely pretty or stick thin in order for a guy to like you. You have to love yourself first in order to love anyone else. Blind dates can be fun because you're meeting a totally new guy and it can be exciting. So just give it a try and go on the date. Be confident. Not so confident you scare him away and make him think you are arrogant of course. Just be confident about yourself and smile. Talk to him casually. There are lots of things to talk about, just say what pops into your head. If he's a great guy, he'll like you for you and not base everything on looks.

My point is, don't worry if he likes you or not. Just go on the date to have some fun. If he likes you, that's great, you had fun AND you scored! If he doesn't like you, that's alright because at least that's one more guy to check off on your list. And it might not be because he doesn't like you, it might be because you guys just don't click and he's not your type. You can't expect everyone to like you, there's gotta be someone out there that doesn't. That's true for all of us, so don't feel bad even if he doesn't like you.

Plus, it's only one date, so if he judges you so quickly, he's probably not worth a second date anyway. Dating is about experiencing things, bonding with someone, and finding out what you need and want. Not all dates go perfectly well and not all dates end up in having a new soulmate. We date so we can try new things and have some fun and hopefully find our perfect soulmate.

Good luck on your date!

Hmm... This seems familiar. (http://www.advicenators.com/qview.php?q=329124)

But anyways, in case you aren't that person and this is a coincedence, I'll post my advice again...

"The reason we get embarrassed is because we care too much about what other people think. So the answer is to simply care less about what people think. Simple answer, but it doesn't mean it is simple to accomplish. Take it one step at a time. When something embarrasses you, just take a deep breath, count to ten maybe, try to laugh at yourself, etc. And when you get embarrassed think about how it will really affect you in the LONG run.

Examples:

-You trip in front of every one.
-People forget things so easily. They'll forget your little accident in no time. How will this affect your life later? It won't. And if you still remember this incident in the long run, you'll be able to laugh at yourself.

-You say a stupid answer to the teacher's question in front of everyone.
-Like I said before, people have bad memories. It doesn't affect your life later, and you'll be able to laugh at yourself, even if not everyone forgets it. Plus, you learn from your mistakes.

-You talk to a really cute guy and the back of your skirt is actually stuck in your underwear.
-If he thinks you're an idiot, that crosses off another jerk on your guy list. See? That's a good thing. And if he still likes you and thinks you're a cute dork, you've definitely scored.

See, in every situation, there's a good side. And even if there's absolutely no good side, it won't really affect you in the long run. Just think about that."

And if you ARE the same person, the answer is obvious. Thinking about what you did all night makes things even worse. So don't do it. If you still think about it all night, you obviously didn't pay attention to anyone's advice, and that's why you haven't been making any progress.

I have my own website to upload my poems. (http://within.now.nu in case you wanna see it.) You could make your own website and upload whatever you want to it. Or if you're not patient enough to get into the whole website business, I would suggest http://www.fictionpress.com. There you can upload poems and stories. Other users upload their stuff as well. Users can review your poems and leave you comments. http://fictionpress.com/~reallyhyperchick is me on there.

As for the poetry contest, you can enter at Poetic Power. Here is the link to the website: http://poeticpower.com/

Have fun!

If you think you love 2 people at once then you don't love either enough. - Micaela Logan

I strongly believe in this quote. Don't throw around the word love like a hot potater. lol. It's a special word and only one girl deserves to hear it from you.

So don't say you are madly in love with your girlfriend if you say you still love your ex. Your ex broke up with you for a reason. I'm not sure what the reason is, but whatever it is, she probably isn't willing to go back with you again. Plus, even if she did she might break up with you again. Once things are done, they can be done again. So one piece of advice I would give to you would be to not go back with your ex. She has probably moved on and you should too.

I don't think you're the "poor dude". I think your girlfriend is the "poor dudette"! You need to decide who you really love and only choose one. Don't put it off either, because the longer you wait, the more hurt your girlfriend will be. If you decide your girlfriend is not the one for you, just sit down with her, and gently talk to her about it. It'll hurt her more the longer you wait so just do it. Even if you're not SURE if you love her, you need to break up with her. Because chances are, if you aren't sure you probably don't love her. And I'm sure the last thing you want to do is break your girlfriend's heart even more by leading her on.

If you really think you love your girlfriend and you decide you don't want to break up with her, you need to spend more time with her. Get to know her even better and get your ex COMPLETLY out of your head. That's the least you can do for her. And even then, if you decide you still don't LOVE your girlfriend, it's time to break up with her. Dating is about experiencing new things, trying things out, bonding with someone, and finding what you need and want. You don't have to be confined to one person forever, you are free to date people to find your soul mate.

And like I said, the minute you find out she's not the one you love, you need to break up with her and save her more heart ache.

I have been there before. I have lost my old time friends from like 2nd grade and 4th grade when I entered middle school...and truely I never did gain them back. It's not like we have a grudge against each other or anything, it's just that we have all moved on and some of my friends have literally moved away.

The only thing you can do to keep from losing your friend is to talk to her. Tell her what you told us. It probably won't fix the problem 100%, but at least she'll know how you feel and if she's a good friend, she'll start trying to spend more time with you and fix the problem. Sit down with her somewhere and have a long talk. Perhaps even with your bestfriend's new friend, so that you can let everyone know how you feel. Don't feel bad about feeling jealous and replaced because we have all experienced that when a bestfriend starts spending more time with someone else.

You could also try becoming better friends with your bestfriend's new friend. Maybe you'll even like her more than you thought you did. That would be a good thing because the three of you will hang out and you'll have TWO bestfriends. There's nothing wrong with having more than one bestfriend.

And if all else fails, I'll tell you the truth. Not all friendships work out. Sometimes, even the sturdiest and longest friendships die out.

Think of it this way: "In everyone's life there are certain people who have helped to form his character and given direction to his life; they are like big stones in a river that force the water to alter its course."

And even if those people are not with you forever, they still helped form who you are. Cherish your memories...don't forget them, but don't be sad when your newer memories don't have your bestfriend in them. You will make new friends. Just be glad you were friends with your bestfriend and you made some good memories together.

Even if you were still friends with your bestfriend, that doesn't mean it will last forever. It might have to end eventually anyway. Different colleges, etc.

Try fix your friendship, but if it doesn't work out, just accept it, look at the positives, and live life.

Um. Shaving is totally optional and totally up to you. There are no "rules" stating you have to shave before you are fingered. The end.

Well if he's your ex, you should think about why you two broke up in the first place and decide whether you want to let it go and try again with him. If he cheated on you, or something like that, just remember if he did it once, he can always do it again.

If you don't know if you like him, chances are you probably don't like him. lol. If you did like him, you wouldn't have to ask. But if you want to know if you like someone, here are some things: How do you feel when he is around you and when he is not? How often do you think about him? Does he make your life better and do you make his better? What are some things you like about him and what are you some things you dislike about him? The list goes on and you can ask yourself other questions, but in the end the answer is deep in your heart. Only you can decide. Good luck!

Well, to be honest you SHOULD ask him to slow down. I mean, you've never had a kiss and he gives you french kisses during the whole movie?! lol. It's no biggie, if he's a good boyfriend he'll understand why you want to take it slower. Or if you don't want to actually tell him to slow down, you could give little messages here and there. Like when he tries to kiss you, make it short and pull away. And if he tries to kiss you again, move your head so he can't kiss you, gently push him away, and say you're really into the movie and you don't want to miss it. That might get the message through, but you should just talk to him about it because it might give him the wrong message and it might hurt him.

Good luck!

You did the right thing. You guys don't even know each other that long. If he agreed you guys were rushing into things, he has no good reason to be mad at you for taking a break.

Honestly, he is being a bad boyfriend. A good boyfriend should always back off when the girlfriend is feeling pressured. Although his feelings hurt, he probably doesn't realize that yours matter too. It would probably be disappointing to go out with someone and have them ask you to take a break, but it's nothing big. He should understand that. I think he's just making things more dramatic than they should be. It's just a simple break because you guys barely know each other. Nothing big.

You need to talk to him about this. If he understands why you did what you did, he's boyfriend material and you should spend more time with him to get to know him even better. If he just makes a big scene and is still all mad at you, you should drop him like a hot potater. lol. Dating is about experiencing new things, trying things out, bonding with someone, and finding out what you need and want in a relationship. If it doesn't work out, you move on and live life. Good luck!
