born and raised in chi-town.(a.k.a.- chicago- for the slow kids)Last time i checked, i was a girl.and i have 10 piercings- 9 of which i did myself.(all but my eyebrow). fun stuff.

advice

well ive had a fwb for awhile and its been going pretty good up until now .. hes my best friends ex from a while ago and she doesnt have a problem with it .. but me and him dont really get along anymore so weve decided to stop. the problem is now i like my other best friends ex boyfriend and i dont know if i should tell her or not because im afraid she'll be mad. She told me she thought it was wrong of me to hook up with our other friends ex so im scared shell think its wrong to go out with her ex. i really like him and she told me she noticed me flirting with him lately but i dont know if she cares because she doesnt like him anymore .. i don't know if i should just ignore my feelings or let her know the truth? does anyone know what i should do?

i believe you should do both. by not hiding your true feelings, nothing will come between you guys. if u hide your feelings, you could probably end up being mad at her for any unknown reason in the future.tell her whats the deal, if she accepts it and is finally cool with it- go ahead- if she's not feelin it like you are- think of who means more to you. hope i helped.

Ugh...okay I HATE my clothes. I went through this whole phase recently of "I care what everyone else thinks and my opinion doesnt matter". And that includes clothes. I wear the same old crappy polo tees from hollister and stupid jeans and stupid shoes. I just look like every other boring un-unique "prep". Well, i've finally grown out of this. I now want to start dressing like my personality which is edgy, unique, and artsy. I like rock/emo/indie music if it helps? I'm looking for some fashion tips (example...stuff like wearing your belt to the side, etc.) And some stores online I could check out to help me dress more "edgy". Also, i dont have alot of money. How can i rock out a plain polo? Any hair ideas? Makeup ideas? I hate dressing "preppy" when inside im not like that. THANKS!

might sound a bit avril, but i love how ties look as belts. i think it's VERY edgy, and definetely unique. as for rocking out polos, brooches are in, simply bunch up a corner of the shirt near the waist, and pin it with a brooch. they come in so many styles and colors, and are fairly cheap.also,considering the polos, you can decide if cutting them up is an option for you, but cut off the collar of one, and then cut the neckline at an angle, so it drapes off one shoulder. pair it with a cute and bold looking tank.(walmart!)ive taken old jeans that it a LITTLE snug, and cut the seams in the crotch, and folded it over, sewed it,and washed it. the product is beautiful and defintely edgy, the more you wash it so it frays. try it on a pair of jeans that dont fit you at all, just for practice, to see how well it turns out. depending on your hair length, a good style can be created by wetting your hair, towel drying it just a tad. then, cover your hands in gel, and scrunch your hair all over. its pretty hard to explain, but make a fist with sections of hair in your hand. do this all over till your hair starts to look wavy. then use mousse and continue to do the same. blow dry it, not completely dry- but just enough to set the waves. then hairspray(the more the better) all over, and scrunch some more. this style is great for just about anywhere. another simple style can be made by buying a waver.they sell them for real cheap at value city, dollar general, and walmart)it looks like a straightener, but has waved plates. (NOT a crimper- looks too 80's)and wave tiny sections of hair over straightened hair. just a few pieces here and there- too much volume can be made by thuis style if you wave too much hair, and youll look like a clown.as for makeup, liquid eyeliner is just about the edgiest thing in the makeup world. paired with lots of black mascara, you really cannot go wrong. really hope i helped you. good luck with your new looks.

My guy friend and his girlfriend broke up, and he still likes her alot. She likes him still too but she doesnt want to get hurt and they will be going to different schools. My guy friend asked me to help him get through this because I'm the only one he can trust. I want to help him in any way I can because I want to be close with him. What should I say to him to make him feel better? Thank you so much!

let him know that there's things in life that take time and space. both of which he needs to give her at this point. wether she still loves him, i believe that if he gives her some space, then if she wishes to come back, she will in time do it on her own.only time will tell.

I am Executor of a low value Will with no property involved. I should be able to collect all the deceased financial assests without any problems. Do I need to go to Probate?

i know nothing of this matter, but i guarantee you that watever this matter consists of, you should defintely be able to find your answer online. simply go to a search engine,(google, etc.), and type in the basics of what it is youre looking to find out about. it might take a little research, but it's 100% positive that you can find it online.

I like this guy and I think that he's funny and in general a really nice and polite gentleman. But I don't know if he likes me, at first I did, but now I'm doubting it. He used to stare at me like all the time, but now I think that it is just wierd. Because whenever one of us are looking around we almost always lock eyes. And then we turn our heads away quickly. It's kind of funny. His sister is one of my good friends also and she invited me to go to church with her this weekend. I'm trying to get to know him more, but it is just hard for me. How can I work up the courage to talk to him? How can I find out if he likes me back? If he doesn't do you think he will one day? How do I become one of his good friends first? I've heard him talk to some people and we happend to have a lot of things in common. He's a sophmore and I'm a freshman and I've never had a BF, so I don't know what to do. This is the first time that I really liked someone that might like me back. I just don't want to be scared from this experience, I want it to be a happy one!! :)
Thanks in advance.

i know exactly how you feel. i have felt just like this on several ocasions. and i know the feeling is amazing- which is why you should definetely not scare yourself out of it. if a guy locks eyes with you, he's more than likely not counting your eyelashes.there's for sure a reason he's looking at you, in a way which im sure drives you crazy. being friends with his sister is definetely a plus. depending on how close you are to her, i think you should probably clue her in to the fact that ur feelin her brother. this way, she can at least know to bring you up sometime in a conversation. she can then say something along the lines of 'she's sucha great person to talk to, and she said the funniest thing today!', etc. to start a conversation, and who knows?- he might spill all, and clue her in just as you did!ive learned to work up the courage to talk to guys by making jokes. laughing (in a joking matter of course) about something hes wearing, or the way his hair looks is a start. if he gets defensive, just say "no, i just think it's cute". i know it probably sounds lame, but its never failed for me!and as of becoming one of his good friends, watever you do- do NOT get so attatched to him that you find yourself following him around. he needs his space, just like everyone else does. ive made that mistake before, and ive found myself in awkward positions, like, thos awkward silences that come around. id have to say that thats all i can give on this situation, i hope it helps, and good luck in all that comes your way between the two of you.

Does anyone know where I can get some pics of haircuts? (on the internet) I'm looking for pics of sweeping bangs with long hair. Thanks!!

by going to clairol.com, you can scan a picture of yourself, and try different hair cuts, colors and styles that suit your face shape. if you dont have a scanner, then i'd say check out walgreens. they sell a specific magazine that focuses on hairstyles and such. i think it probably runs for just a few bucks, and there are very cute styles and cuts.
