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!"



advice

♥[?]♥ Hey. I need some advice and you seem like you like helping people out so here i go:

I'm a sophomore and ever since last year, I have liked this guy in my high school and he has liked me back. However, this guy is a player. He goes out with many girls at the same time. He gets over all of them, yet he's never been able to get over me. He always asks me out and I always refuse him. Who would want to go out with a player and get hurt? He promises me that he'll change. Sadly, I caught him making out with another girl the day after. I was devastated. I sent him a letter that told him how I felt. In it I told him how stupid I felt for liking and caring so much about him for such a long time. I also told him I was sick of lies and false promises. I ended it by saying "don't write back or talk to me anymore...leave me alone, you've hurt me enough." That day I came home and started crying. I should feel better now that it's over, but I don't. The thought that he'll never talk to me again makes me sad. Even though he's broken my heart and played me from the very start, I can't help but keep liking him. Should I talk to him again? Should I keep trying to make "us" work out? Please let me know your honest answer.
NOO!! DEFINITELY DO *NOT* talk to him again!!! He's not woRth youR time --OR-- youR teaRs!! So stop youR cRying, hold youR head high, and push foRwaRd. Don't waste youR time on this loseR. Don't give 100% devotion to someone who won't do the same foR you! He obviously has nothing to offeR you, so it's no big loss. It's like, don't give youR heaRt away to someone who won't give you theiRs. And NEVER EVER belive the, "I'll change" shit, you KNOW threy neveR do - and it was pRoven to you... Just use youR head and do what's best foR you!! TheRe's somebody way betteR out theRe foR you... good things come to those who wait!! I wish you the veRy best!! Hope I helped!!! Thanks foR the question; I'm heRe if you eveR need anything else!!

♥[?]♥ hey there. is ok to not want a job? i get money whenever i need it, and i feel like i would be taking up a job when some one more needy should be having it. is that bad?
Is it okay to NOT want a job???? Of couRse.. I bet almost eveRyone DOESN'T WANT a job, but it's necessaRy foR some. You neveR mentioned youR age though, which would have helped me out a bit. It just depends how you get the money, ya know? If you mooch off fRiends, then no... that's NOT okay. If you ask youR paRents.. that's fine if they'Re okay with it. HoweveR, if you ask foR outRageous amounts of cash I'm shoRe they'd get sick of it. You shouldn't feel bad about not having a job because you feel like you'Re taking a job otheR people may need. The only peRson you need to be Responsible foR is youRself! If you want a job and feel you have time foR it, and aRe able to be Responsible and keep it.. go foR it!! I wish you the veRy best!! Thanks foR the question. Don't be a stRangeR! Hope I helped!! =D

♥[?]♥ I wanna start wearing eyeliner, and in your opinion, should I wear liquid or pencil? Thanks
When it comes to eyeliner, it's just a peRsonal pRefeRence whetheR to choose liquid oR pencil. 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 - $15.00], 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!! I hope I helped!! =D

♥[?]♥ I met my current boyfriend at the beginning of summer. We have been off and on many times. I'm 15 and he's turning 16 soon. I have no idea what to do about his birthday because first of all, we don't know eachother that well yet and we haven't been going out for a long time. Should I even get him anything? Or is a special birthday call, hug, kiss (I know it sounds lame) good enough?
I say you should definitey celebRate somehow! How 'bout you go to the paRk?? BRing a blanket and some music! And pack a picnic lunch, which doesn't have to be difficult : tuRkey sandwiches on slice bRead, gRapes, pRetzels, twinkies etc. And make shoRe you bRing a cRap load of bRead to feed the duckies!! He'll love that!! -OR- anotheR suggestion... make him something. You could tRy stuffed chicken bReasts with potatoes of some soRt and a fResh gaRden salad and sundaes foR desseRt! That will Really impRess him!! And if you want to actually GIVE him something.. tRy a nice wRist watch, a leatheR jacket, a video game, oR a wallet. It's the thought that counts, and whateveR you do I'm shoRe he'll love!! Just be cReative and have fun!! Hope I helped!!

♥[?]♥ hey yah the guy i liked said i was ugly so should i confront him?
Bitch slap 'em!!! You definitely do NOT need to be taking his cRap!!! Just shake that fuckeR and his infantile behavioR off, and keep youR head up!!! Hope I helped!! =D

♥[?]♥ Here's my story though it's kind of embarressing... For about 2-3 years now, I have had this clear slime come out my yeah, and I don't think it's normal, but is it somthing I need to REALLY WORRY ABOUT? I mean is it normal... It's like I am constantly wet (though I am still a Virgin and I haven't been there yet) and I hate it...so I wear baby powder down there to keep it from smelling just in case it does... any advice.....
It's completely "noRmal"; no woRRies!! It's simply dischaRge. Unless it gets to the point wheRe it's clumpy and extRemely foul smelling, you have nothing to woRRie about!! HoweveR, if it eveR reaches that state, you should consult a doctoR. Best wishes; hope I helped!! =D

♥[?]♥ what is a boner ?? i dont know what catogorie it goes in reallyy srry
It's anotheR woRd foR "ERection" Basically, when a man is sexually aRRoused, his penis Rises and haRdens. This is the Result of his penis is filling with blood. Thanks foR the question?? Hope I helped! Feel fRee to come back if you need anything else!!

♥[?]♥ hey .. i shave my legs every morning and by noon they r all prickily LOL well do u guyz know ne thing i can do to keep them smoother for longer* thanx

All I can suggest to you is using shaving gel. Make shoRe you always have a fResh RazoR, and neveR eveR dRy shave! AfteRwaRds, apply lotion. If this doesn't help the situation, I'd say tRy testing out some new shaving gel and/oR RazoRs. Best of luck!! Hope I helped!!

♥[?]♥ i sweat really bad i need advice on a good deodarent taht will stop teh sweatin or another trick or thing i can do Thank u *
AlRight, I'm not embaRRassed to admit this.... I sweat enough gallons to stRangle a donkey ten times oveR!!!! I asked this same question a bit ago, and eveRyone told me this paRticulaR deodoRant called "CeRtain DRy". So what did I do?? I Ran Right out to Wal-MaRt and WalgReens [because they said it could be puRchased theRe], but the stoRes said they don't caRRie it. HeRe is what I do: I apply deodoRant.. any bRand will do, then I apply baby powdeR oveR my entiRe aRmpit, ya know??? This woRks like a chaRm!!!!! EveR since I've been doing that.. I don't see a single tiny speck of wetness!!!! I am no longeR afRaid to step out of the house in something otheR than black! I HIGHLY suggest you tRy this.. Really... it'll kiss youR pRoblem goodbye - it's a miRacle woRker!!! Best of luck!! hope I helped!!

♥[?]♥ Okay, this definitely isn't a question but you people that keep asking questions need to LOOK and use common sense to see if your question has already been answered, because half of the questions that are on here have already been answered about 20 different times, please look before you ask the SAME exact question that everybody else has already asked!
Can I get an AMEN!! =D

♥[?]♥ Ok heres the problem.. my friend got her peroid in 5th grade.. so she gets it normally now.. but when she was supposed to get it this month she didnt.. She never had sex.. what could be the problem?
Well, if she has Recently staRted heR peRiod, it's expected to be a bit iRRegulaR foR awhile. OR if she's had it a long time alReady, it could easily be the Result of stRess. If she faces the same pRoblem next month, she should pRobably visit a doctoR. Til then.. I wouldn't woRRie. Best wishes!! Hope I helped!!

♥[?]♥ will you be considered a "nerd" if you wear glasses in highschool?
No way!!! You'll find all those dumb things you heaR about high school to be untRue. =D

♥[?]♥ im using to being around my friends. . ever since elementary school .. and now i moved to a different city within 4 miles of my hometown.. so now i have to go to a different high school than everyone else and it really really sucks. i cry at school like everyday.. i really want to go to my other high school, and i could, but my parents wont let me.. ive tried convincing them everyday for like 1 week and a half and its not working .. and i know its not going to.. im thinkin about moving in wit my aunt that lives down in pompano so i can go to the school im happy at but she lives in a sort of ghetto area so im not sure .. but i wouldnt care ... yet i dont want to hurt my moms feelings by just leaving... how can i just GO to the school i want to go to?
Wow.. this touched me; it bRought me back. You'Re getting advice fRom a kid that dRopped out of school, because she cRied EVERYDAY foR months. I know exactly how you feel; I've been theRe. I cannot tell you how soRRie I am that you'Re going thRough this. High school was the woRst expeRience of my life, and my heaRt Really goes out to you if you'Re suffeRing. WoRds can't explain what high school was like foR me [just so know that you aRen't the only one]. If school is Really *THAT* bad, you won't give up afteR a week and a half of begging youR paRents. I begged my paRents foR 6 months.. then I said to hell with this shit and quit; I just stopped going and that was the end. I nailed National HonoR Roll, and I actually had HaRvaRd, UniveRsity of MissouRi, some Connecticut College, ARizona State UniveRsity, AND UniveRsity of Miami coming afteR me. They sent me sooo much mail and even offeRed to pay foR my plane ticket down theRe to touR the campus and actually paRticipate in some of the classes; I was an extRemely pRomising student, but things just got so bad I couldn't take it anymoRe; it completely Ruined my life. Don't let this happen to you; don't allow youRself to fail. If it means that much to you... keep tRying!! This is one battle fRom which you must not RetReat! This is youR education.. this is youR futuRe.. it's not a game, it's not a joke, and it's ceRtainly not something to be taken lightly. Of couRse, you need to give the school you'Re at a shot. You can't come home the veRy fiRst day and decide you hate it - that's not acceptable. Give it two months even. Ya neveR know... things COULD get betteR, that is VERY possible. But ALWAYS RemembeR.. that no matteR how bad it gets.. it can ALWAYS get woRse. I say if afteR two months things don't change... tell youR paRents that you've given it a shot.. you've tRied... but it's no use. Let them know how much you'd appReciate it if they coopeRated with you this one time. Also, if you Really *CAN* move in with youR Aunt, you shouldn't feel bad leaving youR Mom whatsoeveR!! You asked heR peRmission foR you to switch schools.. and she said no. You have to do what's best foR YOU!! THAT is youR Responsibility! I Really do hope you figuRe things out. Please, please, please lemme know what happens!! Best wishes fRom someone who knows EXACTLY what you'Re going thRough!! Hope I helped!!

♥[?]♥ I have a best friend named Amanda, and today at lunch at school she didn't say a word to me so I was like hmm o-well. So I just asked her on aol and here was our conversatoin...

me: Are you mad at me?
Amanda: No, why would I be mad at you?
me: you didn't say anything to me at lunch
Amanda: hmmm yea
me: yea?
Amanda: yea?

Then I told her I had to go...I didn't know what to say...is she mad at me ? What do I do?
Nah, she could be just having an off day; I wouldn't woRRie about it if I was you. Best wishes. Hope I helped!! =D

♥[?]♥ ok....theres this kid that is going out w/ the girl i love...and he knows that i still love her...(she's my ex)....and he makes fun of me b cuz he's going out w/ her and im not....he makes up all these lies saying that she said them...but she didnt just to piss me off. i want to kick his ass...but then she'll hate me forever....every one else says to forget what she thinks about it and just do it....but i dont know what to do.....HELP ME!!
Bitch slap 'em! Aww.. no.. just ignoRe him!! If you know what he is saying is untRue... why do you let it get to you? Why botheR giving him the satisfaction? Have you tRied talking to the giRl about it? That's what I suggest. Tell heR when he says shit to you. I would assume if she was a tRue fRiend she would speak to him about it, and get his ass in line. I wish you the veRy best! Hope I helped!!

♥[?]♥ ok theres this boys and i jsut moved from georgia and goin bak in about 10 months and theres this boy bak there we dated almost all year and we broke up jsut before i moved and everytime i talk to i i start liking him agian and he talks to my friends about me all the time and he we he asks me out agian what should i do
Long distance Relationships aRe extRemely tough. If you can't see him at least once eveRy two weeks, I suggest telling him no. Make shoRe to let him know that you Really *DO* caRe about him, but the distance is too gReat. TheRe's always hope when you move back. Goodluck; I wish you the best! Hope I helped!! =D

♥[?]♥ I went to visit my aunt and met this guy and i guess he says he lieks me and when we were in the car he asked when i was going to be his gf and i said i didnt no well i havent seen him for awhile and i call him and talk to him on the phone and i really really like him what should i do becuz i really want to go with him
Well you neveR mentioned how faR you live fRom him. I would suggest that if you can see him AT LEAST ONCE a week.. to go foR it. I wish you the veRy best of luck!! hope I helped!! =D

♥[?]♥ I have all different kinds of friends in such, but i hang out with 2 of them more. Im not a girly girl( and im not a lesbian) i hate wearing skirts and dresses and i really dont lyk really preppy people tha wear houchie skirts and a half a shirt, but maybe tha's juss some of the girls that go to my school. I just don't understand why people wear that stuff when you know its unconfortable. Why wear high heels to school them you could be confortable. THey only dress like that to get guys attention. I don't like cheerleaders either they annoy me. I'm kinda skater and like to do things that girls normally don't do or arent that good at. Me n my best friend r crazy at those kinda things and fit in real easily with the guy crowd. Every place that i go i always get mean looks from preppy girls cuz i don't dress lyk a brittany spears wannabe. Why do you think people corner me cuz im skater and not a barbie doll?
Cuz people aRe ignoRant RetaRds. Physical appeaRRance seems to be all that matterS these days. Actually, I'm extRemely giRlie, and I'm obssesed with shopping, make up, puRses, pop music, guys.. the whole deal. But you couldn't pay me enough to step into high heels oR a skiRt... just because they ARE uncomfoRtable!!! I'm all about comfoRt, and if that's how YOU pRefeR things then go with it, and shake those dumb bitches and theiR diRty looks off - who needs 'em?? Hope I helped! =D

♥[?]♥ i have a gigantic crush (not love) on this guy. but i know nothing will come out of it. i don't want to like him, but my heart is leading my head right now. how do i stop liking him?
Well, I find that the easiest way to get oveR someone is to find someone new; new infatuations aRe fantastic Remedies. Goodluck; I wish you the best! Hope I helped!! =D

♥[?]♥ i've known him like forever, hes my bestfriend since we ran in diapers. recently ive noticed that whenever hes around me, my heart just pounds like crazy. i dont know why i feel that way.. i fear that i might be falling for him! if i do, what if he doesnt accept my love? i dont want our friendship to end if our relationship doesnt work out.. please help
I say you should tell him how you feel, and heaR what HE has to say. Who knows... he may feel the same exact way. Say he does... but he's too shy to tell you, so HE'LL just wait foR YOU to say something about it... but YOU'RE waiting foR HIM to say something... see what I mean? This won't get you guys anywheRe fast, that's foR shoRe! Don't beat aRound the bush, tell him stRaight out to avoid confusion. And if this tip helps.. "best fRiends make best lovers" ;D Goodluck!! Hope I helped!!
