ask mackenzie





I did not write the book of love,
and I do not claim to be full of wisdom.

I sure do make mistakes,
but I live and learn!

I try to let no one come to me,
without leaving happier. [:

and distinguish yourself.
Don't even think about
retiring from the World,
until the World will be
sorry that you retire!"

♥[?]♥ well there is this guy and i like him a lot and he knida flirts with me but i dont know if he is just plaing or flirting . he does stuff like slap my butt(a lot) and he is really sweet. at the beginning of the year me, him, and some other people were playing truth or dare and we got dared to kiss. oh ya and at the beginning orf the year(before truth or dare) i asked him out but he said ne after a lot of thought like a whole days worth. does he like me or is he just playing?. i rate 5s. please help me. 14 f
One could guess and assume all they want. ShoRe, it SEEMS like he may like you. The best way to know foR shoRe is to flat out ask him. And if you feel you'Re a bit attRacted to him, then peRhaps you should come out and say how you feel fiRst. That way, you'll bReak the ice, and moRe than likely get him to say when he's been afRaid of saying foR so long. I wish you the best of luck. Hope eveRything woRks out foR you. Hopefully I've helped.

♥[?]♥ Ok, problem here dudes.

At my school, Im a freshie, 14/m. I have good looks, but I never thought I was something to die over. Every day I have these indirect confessions from people I do or do not know that they like me, but I can't say the feeling is mutual. I'd like to know how to break this to them in a nice way, because some of them are a little over the edge if you know what I mean....

Just tell them that you'Re flatteRed, but at this time you unfoRtunatgely can not say you feel the same. And if this is someone you think you'd likje to get to know, tell them so, and exchange numbeRs and see wheRe it goes, my fRiend. I wish you the best of luck. Hope I helped.

♥[?]♥ Tell me if this shirt is cute for a car chick, like me.
Its white and too big so i tie it in the back (i have a long tight black tank under) On the front ot says FORD with the blue and white letters. On the back:
"My daddy drives a bad stang and i will drive it when i get bigger".

I need your advice..... I RATE HIGH
PeRsonally, it's not something *I* would weaR. HoweveR, I also don't have the advantage of actually seeing it. Bottom line, if YOU like it... then woRk it! =D

I was talking to this girl from my class on the phone today and I realized that she is pretty cool and I want to be friends with her. The thing is that she is not very popular and I'm afraid that if I start hanging out with her, my other friends won't want to hang with me and might diss me. Am I being shallow or stupid? And what should I do?
Yo, youR "fRiends" aRen't "fRiends" at all if they can so easily up and leave you because you'Re seen with someone unpopulaR. ..RemembeR that..

♥[?]♥ i crack my neck and my friend thinks that it will make my neck all messed up when im older...is that true? i dont wanna be messed up when im old!!! lol
will rate high
That's what I've always heaRd. Now, if it's tRue oR not, I have no idea. I suppose it could be? But a couple times won't huRt, so have at it. =D

♥[?]♥ Anyone have any good recipies for brownies WITHOUT nuts? I can't seem to find a good one!
Just go with good ole Betty. =D

♥[?]♥ I'm sixteen years old..and I've had fifteen sexual partners in my life..so I'm not that [tight]...I like to please my guy so I use my index finger, and middle finger to wrap around their 'D' to make it tighter..but I don't reach an orgasum anymore. How can I make myself [tighter] down there? 'cause I've tried many ways of having sex. Thanks..

Sweet Moses!! FoR the *fiRst* time, I'm stumped. Thanks, and goodluck to you. =D SoRRie I can't be of moRe help. I hope eveRything woRks out.

♥[?]♥ My name is Amy Bussel and I am 21 years old. My fiance and I have seperated because I cuss to much at him, this is not the first time that htis has happened but everyone he has returned to me. When he leaves like this it is usually for a few days, and he don't call of nothing. I have never done anyhting to hurt him and have always gone out of my way to try to make sure that he is happy. Can you tell me if you believe that he will come back home to me or not? Csn you also tell me what I need to do to make sure that this never happens again, Also I would like to know what I should do till he comes home or not?
I'm a fiRm believeR in not changing foR ANYONE! I don't believe that an individual should feel pRessuRed oR foRce to change who THEY aRe to please anotheR. It's tRue that "Real" family and fRiends should accept you foR who you aRe, howeveR; if you notice that you aRe offending way too many people, peRhaps you have a Real pRoblem. I know cuRsing can be an addiction, so to speak, but just be a little moRe concsious about the things you say. If you feel an aRguement coming on with youR fiancee, tRy walking away fRom it until you've cooled off some. CuRsing is a way to expRess some angeR, but it's neveR the most appRopRiate way. Just know that youR fiancee is a human being too... one that deseRves the same love and Respect that he shows you. Don't let youRself lose fRiends and family oveR youR vocabulaRy.... it's Really not woRth it. And I couldn't Really tell you if he will come back oR not... I can't pRedict the futuRe, I'm soRRie to say. I can tell you to think positively, and hope foR the best. Yet, if he chooses not to RetuRn to you, than that's his decision. You should Respect and undeRstand wheRe he is coming fRom. Honestly, put youRself in HIS shoes. Can you blame him? Also, make shoRe to talk to him about this. TheRe must be a betteR way foR the two of you to expRess youR feelings towaRds one anotheR. I wish you the veRy best of luck. I Really do hope I helped. Let me know how it tuRned out. Thanks foR the question, and know that I am always heRe if you need me. =D

♥[?]♥ hey! okay i have a question.. ive never had sex before, buti masterbate and everytime i orgasm i get a little wet but i never like cum.. why is that?
Maybe you just don't do it long enough. PeRhaps you just haven't found something that Really woRks foR you. TRy new things until you find something good. Goodluck!

♥[?]♥ i try to put a picture on my advise column, but it always tells me "You tried to upload a picture, but it was greater than 15K in filesize so it wasn't uploaded." .. so what do i do?
K, copy the pictuRe you want, go to START.... PROGRAMS.... ACCESSORIES... PAINT... Paste it on Paint, then go to IMAGES.... STRETCH/SKEW, and simply make the peRcentages *gRadually* smalleR, and keep tRying til AdvicenatoRs accepts it. Goodluck!! Hope I helped!! =D

♥[?]♥ i need some help on what eye shadows and liners to wear. i have brown eyes and i want to be able to bring them out. any suggestions? thanx 4 ne help in advance.
I have daRk bRown eyes, and daRk bRown haiR with tan skin. A lot of the time I pick my make up accoRding to my outfit, but not always. HoweveR, I go with a lot of light puRples, suttle pinks, and *TONS* of white and A LOT of black eyelineR -- I find that Really appReciates bRown eyes. HeRe's a tip: to get youR eyeshadow to last alllllllllll day, put some body lotion, oR PetRoleum Jelly on fiRst, THEN apply the shadow. Also, theRe's this technique I ALWAYS do, called "Shadowing". It cReates this AWESOME smokey affect!! You simply put on the coloR eyeshadow you wish to weaR, then using a bRistle bRush, dab a bit of gRay eyeshadoW oveR it!! It's goRgeous; I *NEVER* leave the house without it!! And as foR eyelineR... when it comes to liquid oR pencil, it's just a peRsonal pRefeRence. HoweveR, if you ask... MOST people will tell you that pencil is a betteR choice. It's a gReat staRt foR a beginneR who is just getting used to it. If you mess up, pencil is A WHOLE LOT easieR to clean up and Re-do than liquid would be. And if you plan on caRRying it aRound in a puRse oR pocket.. theRe's a chance that the liquid may Ruin. And now foR the pRoducts... peRsonally, I think the two best bRands of eyelineR out theRe aRe "MeRyl NoRman" and "Beautique". "MeRyl NoRman", which can only be puRchased at "The MeRyl NoRman Cosmetic Studios", is pRicey [typically $8.50 - $17.00], but it REALLY IS good stuff. It goes on wondeRfully, and stays on all day!!! On the otheR hand... I happen to think that "Beautique" is INCREDIBLE, howeveR, I've ONLY seen "Beautique" at "Sally's". And "Beautique" is only .99 cents. TRUST ME.. I would NEVER EVER EVER buy cRap make up!!! I get only the best, so please, please, please, please DON'T let this dollaR pRice thRow you off - you'd be cheating youRself out of the best pRoduct out theRe!! I'd PREFER "Beautique" out of ANY otheR bRand of eyelineR!! I could easily go out and buy a $15.00 pencil, but I'd RATHER get "Beautique"! "Beautique" glides on smoothly and REALLY LASTS ALLLLL DAY!!! I CAN NOT pRomote this item enough!! And if you still have doubts... foR only .99 cents.. it's woRth a shot!! Goodluck!! Feel fRee to come back to me if you eveR need moRe suggestions. Hope I helped!! =D

♥[?]♥ whenever im talking to this guy i like on the phone or online i never know wht to say!! its soo annoying and awkward. i dont know him tht well so what would be some things to say that would start a conversation?? please help! i rate 5s to answers that dont piss me off!!!
Hmm... talk about old t.v. shows... ya know.. like "The Round House", "Doug", "Wild & CRazy Kids", "Rosie O'Donnell Show". OR ask if he knows any jokes. And why not just bRing something Random up... make it cRazy and keep it fun - don't woRRy about impRessing him oR seeming cool - who caRes! Goodluck; hopefully I've been of some help heRe!

♥[?]♥ 1) is it best to learn one foreign language at a time? or can i try to learn 2 at a time (japanese and spanish) ?

2) what foreign language would be more applicable/useful as a future nurse (or future stewardess) ?

3) is it enough to learn on-line (from all the free on-line lessons) , or should I enroll in a language course in a school?

4) pls give me tips on learning a new language =)
and maybe on how to improve my memory


thank you! =)
1)Each peRson has a diffeRent opinion on this one. FoR one individual leaRning ONE language is difficult enough, but to anotheR, it's easieR to just leaRn a tad bit of a few. If you want to speak fluently, I say go with one -- it woRked foR me.

2)It just depends on whatcha wanna do when you gRow up. Mexicans aRe all oveR the west, and spRead all thRoughout the USA, and still have a gRowing population, so Spanish would be most wise. HoweveR, if you plan to be a stewaRdess, who knows wheRe you'll be, oR who'll you'll be aRound, so peRhaps Japanese would do you some good, oR especially if you got into the stock maRket. OR say you want to be a scientist, they use Latin, if I RemebeR coRRectly, as theiR language... kind of like math... it's known to eveRyone no matteR what countRy you'Re in... scientists all leaRn Latin so they can all communicate with one anotheR. See, I gRew up in ARizona, so natuRally I've been heaRing and leaRning Spanish all my life. Then in 7th gRade I went to the biggest gang school going, so I wanted to know with Hispanic biatch was talking shiat! FiRst, I taught myself some Spanish online, and that went suRpRisingly well. Then once I got to high school, I enRolled in Spanish class as my foReign language, and that's when it Really staRts to pick up.

3)LeaRning a foReign language online is a good staRt, but NOT good enough. EnRoll in a foReign language class at youR school, oR if you'Re school doesn't offeR that, tRy the YMCA, oR just a local community summeR pRogRam.

4)Tips? TRy to get a fRiend to do this with you. This way, not only aRe you helping heR on a tRemendous and commendable life skill, you two can also pRactice youR language by talking IN that language. FiRst you need to staRt off by leaRning the letteR sounds and alphabet, that makes sense Right? That way you know how to coRREctly pRonouce each new woRd you tRy to take on. Also, if you can, gRoup youR woRds... say, leaRn a bunch of veRbs... like 'jump', 'skip', 'talk', 'above', [haha... I don't know if these aRe veRbs oR not... I'm so dumb it's silly], and of couRse staRt with the basics... such as... woRds like 'food', 'sleep', 'movies', 'he', 'we' and so on. Not only aRe these impoRtant woRds to leaRn, it's motivation. Once you nail them, you'll be so excited to move on and keep on leaRning. Also, make a flash caRd foR almost eveRy individual woRd... and pRactice at least 20 minutes eveRy day, two sessions of 20 minutes a day would be supeRb.

****HoweveR you decide to do it, know that it doesn't always come easily, and it's takes dedication and haRd woRk to masteR a foReign language. Just be committed, and stick with it. It's tough, I know, but gReat fun and extRemely annoying. FoR example, do you know that a caR salesman who speaks Spanish in ARizona gets I think, like $300.00 MORE a yeaR than a caR salesman in ARizona who does NOT speak Spanish? Haha... see the benefits? Also, depending on wheRe you live, it DEFINITELY boosts youR shot of getting a job [and usually it does eveRywheRe, because it shows youR boss youR commitment.]

So goodluck, best of wishes. Hopefully I've been of some help! =D

♥[?]♥ Theres this guy online that wont leave me alone. He's so perverted and i have no idea who he is. hes not from my town but he always tells me that he sees me and he tells me what im wearing. hes always saying stuff like how much he wants to fuck me and he just says really nasty things. hes really violent too, like if i dont answer him RIGHT away he'll flip out and call me names, so im scared to block him or anything since he knows what i look like and he "sees me all the time" what should i dooo?
Just block him, my fRiend. Why would you be afRaid? People online do that shit all the time - they'Re just B.S.ing you. I'm shoRe you have nothing to be afRaid of. If you didn't alReady know this... you can just block *EVERYBODY* who is NOT on youR buddylist. PeRsonally I choose not to do that, but to each his own; and it's pRobably a good choice in youR opinion. Point is, don't let some little weasel online Run his mouth and upset you. Teen giRls ALREADY have too much to woRRy about. Goodluck, and stay youR gRound! Hope I helped!! =D

♥[?]♥ What are some good movies.. mostly chick flicks or comedy.. thanks!

♥[?]♥ Sorry if this gets long.. Okay here goes..

Ive liked this guy for about 6 years now & never really told him how i felt. We dated like 5 years ago when we we younger, and when that ended we stopped talking but i never stopped thinking about him. Weird I know but he was my 1st love! We tried dating again last year but it was all weird so we broke up. Now we talk only on occasion & its mainly him calling me for a "booty call" as my friends say. Im afraid hes only using me for sex! About lets say 3 months ago he told me that he really liked me but i didnt take him serious because he had a g/f at the time. The thing is I really wanna tell him how i feel that i never stopped thinking about him etc but im scared because it might freak him out and he might not talk to me again. It's been soo long and im also afraid of bawling right infront of him.. ='[ Another problem is I have a bf now and he knows this. Ok im not exactly happy with my current relationship & im planning on breaking up with him soon. What would you do? How would you start this conversation? I need help so bad this is gonna kill me if i dont let my feelings out!
Wow... I seee. Well, I definitely think you should tell him how you feel. PeRhaps you should do it on the telephone, that way you'Re not cRying diRectly infRont of him. Even if you still cRy on the phone, it would be less embaRassing foR you that way. HoweveR, you shouldn't eveR feel guilty oR embaRassed about cRying... it's natuRal, and you'Re entitled to youR feelings and emotions; but Really... it's no biggie. Which eveR way you decide is best foR you, I think you should *indeed* talk to him about it. And fRom the way you descRibed it, I don't think he would fReak out if you told him how you feel about him. HoweveR, hopefully you have enough sense not to just be some booty call... that CAN be fun, but usuaully leads up to unecessaRy huRt; don't botheR to put youRself thRough that. And also take into consideRation that you said he had a giRlfRiend duRing the peRiod of time he once called you up foR a booty call -- that's scaRy my fRiend. Is he a cheateR; that's something to give some seRious thought to. If he would so easily call you up asking foR 'some' when he is alReady involved with anotheR giRl, what makes you think he won't disRespect you the same way?? FaiR enough? TheRe's just no excuse foR that. Even if he thRew the lame line of no longeR liking heR... you'Re telling me that he can't be botheRed to end it with his significant otheR befoRe staRting something with you. And if he's looking foR a fRiend's with benefits situation, you should just move on. But you say you have a boyfRiend at the moment? What's wRong with him? PeRhaps THAT'S wheRe you should devote youR time and eneRgy. If you know you alReady have a good guy by youR side, don't Rock the boat, Baby. I wish you the ebst of luck! I Really do hope I helped, and know that I am always heRe if you need me. I have faith in you my fRiend. Take caRe!! =D

♥[?]♥ ok, so i broke up with my boyfriend last year, but i think i still like him. the only thing is he likes my best friend, should i get him back, and how, or let go? my best friend doesn't like him.
Let it go, Hun. You'd only be going back to something that didn't woRk out to begin with. Alot of time has passed and you shouldn't stiR up tRoubles now. Move on. I wish you the veRy best of luck - I know it can be tough. :/ Hope I helped! =D Stay stRong!

♥[?]♥ does anyone know how old you usually have to be to work at a tanning salon? thanks.
My fRiend just applied to one... they tuRned heR down because she's only 16, so I would assume 18 peRhaps? But ya neveR know.. tRy diffeRent ones... they could all have diffeRent standaRds.

♥[?]♥ The most popular girl in school (i was O.K friends with her) moved to Arizona (i'm in Virginia) and I am happY! SOOO HAPPY! Cause i like being the center of attention. All my bestfriends are sad though, because they liked her! I didn't really though! Is it wrong to be glad???? Cause I feel really bad.
Dude.. you'Re entitled to youR own thoughts and feelings - don't let anyone take this away fRom you oR make you feel bad. Just because youR fRiends aRe bummed does *NOT* mean you should feel bad too. You can be glad... no haRm is done... don't woRRie about it, and live it up my fRiend. Just know that that skanky whoRe has gone to a gReat place!! =D

♥[?]♥ Hey , I have a question. I have this like lump sort of thing inside of my breast. I'm not sure what it is. I don't think that it is breast cancer.. but I really don't know what else it could be. Help please! I'm freaked out.

P.S. I'm 13.
Sweet Moses! Don't play aRound with this. You pRobably should consider seeing a doctoR. HoweveR it also depends on how developed you aRe. Small lumps, tenderness and occassional aches aRe noRmal duRing the eaRly stages of pubeRty.
