About Mara
Hey, I'm Mara. I love dancing. It's practically my favourite thing to do. I love House, R&B, pretty much everything with a good beat, and Benny Benassi is my hero; that's why my column is a shrine to him. I graduated this year and am now in my first year of college where I'm trying to pick a major. Chances are you'll see some of my Psychology questions floating around somewhere here. I'm also extremely interested in Political Science too because I, like half the people living in Canada, somehow want to change the world. I particularly want to find a cure for poverty, corruption, cancer, AIDS and George Bush because honestly, I think those are the biggest problems we have right now. I have decided that maybe I should take the time to live a little before I start though because I have a good fifty years ahead of me to fix all the issues there are. Currently my life consists of: studying, working, socializing, eating and ocassionaly sleeping. I spent practically all of my high school life being a delinquent and partying to huge extents until I discovered my brain sometime in the middle of my senior year. I still like to have a good time every once in a while but you always need to find that balance (I haven't exactly found it yet but I'm getting close). Unfortunatley, a habit that has stuck with me from school is my obsessive gossiping. I just can't stop and you know, an article in Cosmo says that gossipers are healthier people because they bond over it? Who would have thought? Anyway, I do have my limitations and I don't condone nasty, brutal gossiping and I don't gossip about anything my friends have told me in confidence or something about someone else that they have slipped to me, however, if I find you in a washroom at a random party making out with my bestfriends's boyfriend, a few people are probably going to hear about it. Actually, more than a few people will hear about it because one of my absolute pet peeves is parties where the all the bathrooms are occupied due to sexual activity or... puking activity. Sooooo what else is there to know about me? My favourite thing in the world is shopping and my worst fear is existantialism. I am OCDey in a clinical way so you can ask me questions about that. You can ask me practically anything you want except for dumb questions but I'm not going to answer them in my little column here because it's a huge waste of space when I could be writing about myself (Click 'LookIt' on my menubar for answers to dumb questions so you don't have to embarass yourself asking them and getting bitched out from me). What I can do, is offer you three pieces of truly inspirational advice. Firstly, never live your life by what others want of you, cherish yourself and everyone around you, and never beat yourself down about anything you couldn't have avoided. Secondly, donate at least ten percent of the income you earn in your life to someone who needs it. Lastly, never get into a bulldozer when you're under the influence and start driving it towards a poor freshmen (I am never going to another kegger ever again... ever). Ok, I'll shut up now. You can start asking me stuff, if you haven't hit the back button already.

Alright, I know that this is probably illegal but can you download the sims 2 on something like limewire, kazaa, etc? I have the game but my friend has the CD you need to put in to play. I heard you type in The sims 2 cd crack but i tried that and it was in french. any ideas?
I downloaded the original Sims and an expansion pack of KaZaA back in the day. There's no reason you shouldn't be able to get The Sims 2. Usually, people put the serial in the zip file.

my friend loves the movie 'Breakfasts at Tiffany's, and in addition to some things i'm already getting her, i wanted to get her a Breakfast at Tiffany's poster. But i've never seen the movie, and i don't know which of three to choose, and i'd really love input. can anyone reccomend a site where i can (specifically) get a poster of the movie for sort of cheap? thanks. x x
I would recommend getting the classic vintage portrait of Audrey with 'Breakfast at Tiffany's' on top.
You can find it on allposters.com
http://www.allposters.com/-sp/Breakfast-At-Tiffany-s-Posters_i1640995_.htm
However, it is a little more expensive than the other ones so you could take a look at all of them.

Okay so I have blonde hair, medium length with sideswept bangs. It's kinda a dark dirty blonde color. I want to do something totally different with my hair, like some crazy color highlights or streaks or something. I just don't know what color would look good or anything. So anyone that knows what they are talking about have any ideas about anything. Thanks!
Dark hair with blunt bangs is incredibly big right now. Go for a chocolate one. It's very British and chic.
If you don't want to do something as dramatic, I would suggest a few red streaks, red looks amazing but it's a tough colour to maintain.
Something else you could do if get it layered and colour the lower layers brown and dye the top layers blonder. This one is cheaper because you don’t have to keep dying the bottom brown because even if it grows out, the blonde layers on top will cover the roots.

Lately ive been having large amounts of trouble sleeping im only 15/m andi just cant seem to fall asleep ive lied in my bed for hours on end with my eyes closed and i cant fall asleep even if im tired idk why im having so much trouble. can someon please give me ideas to help me the sooner the better b/c its 1 am not and argh!
First, you need to a take a look at your daily habits. Are you very inactive before you go to bed? Are you drinking enough fluids? Are you drinking caffeine or eating heavy foods before you sleep? Are you depressed? Sometimes its the things that you do during the day that effect your sleep.
The National Sleep Foundation also recommends doing the following if you're unable to sleep (take a look at http://www.sleepfoundation.org for more information):
1. Maintain a regular bed and wake time schedule including weekends.
2. Establish a regular, relaxing bedtime routine such as soaking in a hot bath or hot tub and then reading a book or listening to soothing music.
3. Create a sleep-conducive environment that is dark, quiet, comfortable and cool.
4. Sleep on a comfortable mattress and pillows.
5. Use your bedroom only for sleep and sex.
6. Finish eating at least 2-3 hours before your regular bedtime.
7. Exercise regularly. It is best to complete your workout at least a few hours before bedtime.
8. Avoid caffeine (e.g. coffee, tea, soft drinks, chocolate) close to bedtime. It can keep you awake.
9. Avoid nicotine (e.g. cigarettes, tobacco products). Used close to bedtime, it can lead to poor sleep.
10. Avoid alcohol close to bedtime.
If none of these work, you might have insomnia; something a physician can prescribe pills for. You can read up about that here:

yesterday i was in the tanning bed (wearing goggles)
i felt a bug or sumthin fly on me so i took my google off to get the bug off. they were only off like 2 mins.
now, i have something on one eye that looks like pink eye and it hurts really bad. was it from the tanning bed or just pink eye?
Yes, the UV rays are very powerful so there is a huge chance our eyes were hurt from them. 2 minutes is a long time considering the average time you should spend in a tanning booth is 10 minutes.
But if you think you might have Pink Eye, that is a possibility too.
On both hands, you need to see a doctor. Try to make an appointment as soon as you can. If I were you, I'd head over to the ER right away. There's no point in taking chances when it comes to you eyesight.

hi :]
16/f
well me and my mom were talking yesterday and shes like i think i might know something else to get you for christmas! and im like what? and shes like have you ever heard of the CHI straightener? and im like yea the one that costs like $200. i heard its suppose to be good but for anyone that uses it does it really work good or what because i will feel bad to have her like spend so much and have me not like it!! well thank you.
The CHI iron is practically the best on the market. I'm thinking about buying one for myself since my other one burnt out because all my friends have had theirs and its still as good as the day they bought it. You should go for it, it also comes with a warranty in case anything goes wrong but that's only for technical problems, you're never going to be unsatisfied in terms of quality.

Thsi question is in my head for years now: is final fantasy a show? there's a game but people make music videos of it and in some videos have words on the bottom like subtitles so I wonder if it's a show too and they made it into a game? If there is a show can you give me a website to watch or download it? thanks!
Final Fantasy is also a movie. You should be able to download it off a client like KaZaA but if you don't have one, you could always try YouTube.
I found a bunch of music videos for it there but it might take a little searching to find all the pieces to the movie because YouTube only allows clips shorter than 5 minutes.

My bestfriends birthday is coming up in about a month, but i want to do something really special for her.Shes always saying that how she does stuff for other people but she didnt get anything for her past 2 birthdays. Which is true, so i want to do something that she would love. For my other best friend we went out to lunch and then had a sleep over. I want to do something like that.
A little info: she likes photography, is from hawaii,shes kind of a laid back skater type of person, but she doesnt skatebroard that much and is 15/f.thank you for your help
That lunch and sleepover idea is nice.
If you want to do something extra special for her, how about buying disposable cameras and spending the morning taking artistic photographs? Give then to a one-hour developing place and eat while you wait. Then fetch the photos and go over to wherever you're having a sleepover. Pick out the good pictures and make frames for them. Then give them to the birthday girl.

Hey, I'm 13, on my mom's accont, I don't think this matter though?
-Anyways. I was thinking about going on an all protein diet. All I eat is meat.
Breakfast- Bacon [ the kind I buy is like 50 calories for 3 peices ]
Lunch - A few slices of Ham.
Dinner:
Monday- small hen.
Tuesday- baked chicken
Wednesday- steak
Thurday- baked fish.
Friday- ribs.
I'm 5'1...150 ilbs.
If I exercise for 30 minuetes everyday, Will I have a flat tummy by January?
Thanks!
If anything, I would suggest cutting out meat. Keep a healthy balance of all four food groups and eat by portions.
I'm not sure about the timeline, I recommend asking MikeCFT.

15/M My locker is next to someone who has some bisexual friends. There are 2 of them. The other day when school was over, one of them was like, hitting on me and saying that I'm cute and sexy and stuff like that. I'm straight, so I got a little freaked out. I am used to getting that from girls, but I'd never had someone who's gay do that before. The kid is pretty proud of be bi, too. He wears shirts that say stuff like "Don't hate, celebrate," and "Gay pride." He also wears rainbow-colored shirts and he wears make-up and acts and sounds very feminine. So it's not like he's trying to hide anything. Anyway, the other day when he did that, I got all mad and called him a fag, queerbag, and other derogatory words and yelled at him. And then, yesterday, he was standing in front of my locker, but instead of politely saying excuse me, I said, "get out of my way, you faggot," and then I grabbed him and pushed him out of my way. Then I said, "did you like that when I grabbed you, gay boy." Some of my friends said to go beat him up, but I would never do anything like that. My mom thinks that bisexuality is wrong because she thinks that people should pick to like one or the other. She doesn't hate anyone, and neither am I. I'm not against gay people. But what should I do to deal with this and what should I say to the kid to apologize? When those 2 incidents occured, everyone around was laughing at him and teasing him. I feel bad for him and I felt guilty. The rate of suicide among gay teenagers is high, and I don't want him to commit suicide and then blame me for it. What can I do to get rid of my anger? Is there counseling or anything?
The important thing is that you feel guilty and you're willing to admit that you were wrong.
I think you should at least let him know you regret it. You should go and apologize to him. It doesn't have to be long unless you want it to be. Just go up to him, and tell him you're sorry for the way you behaved. You can even explain that you were a little freaked out if you feel like it. He'll probably really appreciate it.

okay.. its almost been a month since me & my boyfriend has been going out.. and my sister & my boyfriends older sister's boyfriend told me to be careful, because he can do some things, and that they don't want me to be getting hurt. and they think that he's not right for me. so what happened was that.. once and a while.. he asks me these weird questions like "do you even want to be with me?" and im like "yess.. if i didn't wouldn't i broken up with you already?" and he was like "ohh i knew that.." .. 2 days ago. out of nowhere he said "i miss holly" (my friend.. but not so close anymore cause drama). and im said "...." and he says "shes my friend." and im like "yeahh i know." >.< and tonight. i was talking to his older sister, shes my friend also.. and she told me that she saved one of their conversations on aim onto notepad, so she can read it later.. and he was telling holly that he wanted to break up with me but he didn't know how to. and she was calling him "babes" and stuff and he said "iono hun" . and then his sister was like "why do you wanna break up with mary? and how do you not know how to do it? you broke up with linh.. how many times?" and he said "no.." and he started cussing her out. and i she also said that holly told him that i liked some other guy.. WHICH I DONT. i did like a long time ago.. but that was BEFORE i went out with him. it was also weird.. because she aimed me up today and said "neil wants to break up with you." and i said "O.o" and she said "jk."
SOMEBODY PLEASE HELLP ME.
Dump him. He's a jerk, but be straight forward about it.
Just be like, Ive heard you wanted to break up with me, thanks for letting me know, here I'll do you a favour...

me and my bestfriends has been friends for a long time ! i would totally be a different person without her.. but for some odd reason.. she stopped talking to me, and i aimed her after i called her cause she didn't pick up.. and she never answered on aim. she was typing.. but she didn't enter anything, she js backspaced and didn't say anything.. then my older sister got mad and aimed her up saying why is she ignoring me and stuff.. but i told my sister that shes gonna get more mad.. so she said "don't tell mary that im aiming you, she doesn't know." and etc. finally when i commented her myspace.. i told her i was sorry for whatever i did that i got her mad at me.. and she put "............" and i said "are you mad?" and she said "should'nt you know if im mad or not?" and i said "okay, your mad.. can we talk about it?" and she said "i don't know HOW to talk about it." and i said "tell me what happened?" and she said she doesn't really wanna talk about it right now. idk what to do.. i didn't talk bad about her.. she treats me so well.. theres nothing bad to talk about.
my friend says that i should js give her some time and ask her again later.. and i told her when shes ready to talk about it.. aim me.. but she hasn't yet..
SOMEONE PLEASE GIVE ME SOME ADVICE !
Just give her some space, she'll come around and tell you. If not, ask a mutual friend who she might have confided in.
And don't let your older sister talk to her again.

Hey. Well I'm 14/f and a freshman in highschool :) We're having a debate in clas, and my group plays the role of the U.S. Army, and we basically have to debate why we're right about taking over the Native American' land. And ideas? I mean, we have some, but we obviously need more to build up on. Thanks
* Nations conquer each other all the time. It's been happening forever and is basically a way of life.
* Native Americans need to become modernized and catch up to the rest of the world, having their own land alienates them.
* If the Native Americans are given back their land, then people will have to give land away to the rightful owners everywhere. What kind of life would it be if all the Mexicans were vacated from Mexico and all the African Americans from Australia? It would take every race back to the place they were originated and promote isolation between races. If that's not realistic, neither is giving the land back.
That's all I can think of. It's a tough case. Good luck.

When you use a vibrator..do you usually put a condom on it?
Not unless it's been used by anyone else who has an STD or if sperm was transferred on to it.
You're better off washing it or sanitizing it anyway.

I'm on Depo Provera, the birth control injection, and I started spotting today. I know it's supposed to happen, but does it continue for long? Is it going to get heavy? If anyone has experience with this, please let me know, because I want to see my boyfriend tomorrow.
Usually -all- methods of birth control cause spotting within the first two months. It's nothing to worry about.
However, if you've been on the birth control for a while, you might want to consult your doctor. Spotting shouldn't be occuring if your body has already adjusted to the hormones you recieve.

How long does alcohol stay in your system?
And is it possible to get an alcohol test to see if you've been drinking (not that I have, its just that a few of my friends have and I'm worried that they'll be kicked off the field hockey team if we are tested)
SO:
*How long does it stay in your system
*Can you get tested to see if you've drank some?
Alcohol stays in your blood for less than 24 hours depending on your metabolism. About ten percent of this is expelled by breath, perspiration, and urine. After a day of abstaining from drinking, there will be little evidence to support that you were drinking unless you are an alcoholic (in which case, your liver might reveal that you have been drinking).
You can be tested by a breathalyzer (which is the usual way for cops to distinguish between a sober person and a drunk person). Your perspiration, urine and blood can also be tested.

Hey im in grade 11, i live in Ontario,Canada. Anny how my spanish class is going to spain this summer and we need to do alot of fund rasing to help lower the cost.
So my question is;
What are some good fund raser ideas that dont cost alot to do yet bring in a good profit?
Thanx a tun!
Try doing a bake sale or a fashion show.
For the bake sale, try cooking ethnic Spanish food and for the fashion show, wear Spanish clothes.
You could combine both in a "Spanish" event with a theme. You could have tickets and prizes donated by local businesses, play some Spanish games et cetera.
