about

I'm Christina, and I'm 27. I tend to be brutally honest when I give advice or an opinion. I don't tell people what they want to hear but rather what they need to hear. They don't always appreciate it at first, but I usually get a thank you in the end.

I have 15 tattoos, and 8 piercings. I'm married and just gave birth to a baby boy in May. I'm currently a SAHM so you can find me taking care of my son and binge-watching television while he naps.

advice

For Halloween I want me and my boyfriend to like have matching costumes. I was thinking Jack and Sally from nightmare before christmas (his favourite film).
But is there any others we could go as? :]

You could be:

Fred & Wilma Flintstone.
Barney & Betty Rubble.
Hugh Hefner & a playmate.
Pebbles & BamBam.
Juno & Paulie Bleeker.
Bliss & Oliver (from Whip It).

Or any famous couple from Hollywood.

so there is this boy i like in my school he knows i like him but he dosnt like me. i have liked him for about a year now an this girl in my year lets call her C, the boy really likes C and last year i think asked her out but it only lasted about 2 weeks i think because C ended it she didnt really like him she is one o them girls who is a right slut who all the boys love and last night the bot left a comment on C's facebook saying i love you there not going out with each other like but as soon as i saw it a filled up with tears and ran to my room crying and nw i feel like kiling myself it sounds abit mental i no but i feel like he is the only thing keepin me alive and knowin that he will never like me hurts me so much what shall i do ?

I think you're overreacting just a bit. Just because he doesn't like you right now doesn't mean he won't ever like you. He probably just hasn't realized how great you are. If he doesn't ever realize it, then that's his loss.

You shouldn't want to die though just because someone doesn't like you. Not everyone in this world is going to like you and the sooner you realize that, the better. You can't be everyone's crush, or best friend. You're bound to be someone's enemy eventually.

Anyways, just get over it. There are plenty of fish in the sea. I'm sure you can do better than this boy. This whole situation isn't exactly a good reason to kill yourself. It's just a boy. Stop being dramatic.

Whats a halloween costume I could incorporate this dress into?

Any idea is welcome!

You could be a sexy vampire, or a gangster's girl.

Hello

Long story short i had this huge crush on this guy 2 years ago but he had gf and she freaked out when she knew i liked and now today i DO NOT like him and now both of them giving me terrible looks and they still think i ike him so there al over each other when im around and when i talk to other guys the guy i liked pushes them into me a laughs and high fives his friends !! :@ what can i do to stop this anything will help!!

thank-you

Tell him straight up that you didn't give a damn about him anymore & that he's being immature about something so stupid.

There's no reason for him & his girlfriend to be all over each other when you're around. Why someone would want other people to be jealous of them is beyond me, but let them know that you have nothing to be jealous of & that you don't really care about them or what they do.

the sex is amazing right up untill she says it hurts around the opening. as much as we both want to keep going i stop anyway because i dont want to hurt her, the condom's we use dry out rather quickly and are kinda hard to go back in when this happen's we use Mates condom's.

about 6 hours passed and when the movie we were watching finished i gently pressed my fingers on her but she said it still hurt so i went no further. Would lube stop this? or a change in condom brand? or both?

last time i checked im a good 6.4 inches long and kinda thick... maybe 3cm (ish) across? would size be another issue?

I think you need to do a few different things.

First, try foreplay. It preps the both of you for sex, and it can get her wet enough for you.

Since the condom you're using runs dry, try switching to a different brand. Maybe use Magnums or Trojans since those tend to be the best brands. They're a little pricey, but very worth it.

The problem could be those 2 things, or your size. You might actually be hurting her. Either that, or you're too rough. Some girls are a little sore after so it's probably normal.

Just chill out and let her relax a little. Maybe when she says that it hurts, let her relax a little & then go back at it when she says she's okay. Either way, try those other things & keep protecting yourself.

I like weird movies that make you think every once in awhile, but I feel like I can't find anymore than what I've already seen! Movies like:Donnie Darko, What Dreams May Come, Pan's Labyrinth,Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind,Wrist Cutters...

Any more you guys know of? In that kind of weird, "make you think", odd, a little twisted, genre? (I don't care when it was made,old or new, I'll watch it all!)Thank you fellow inhabitants of zee planet Earth. xD

You can try going to see The Box. It comes out sometime later this year. It's from the makers (I think) of Donnie Darko so it has the same twist.

It seems like it'd be pretty interesting, and I actually wanna go see it myself. According to it's Wikipedia page, it comes out November 6th.

Yeah, I know I could look it up by typing the lyrics. HOWEVER, I just know that there's a few times in the song when "Laalalalaaa, la la laalalaa" or something similar is sung. It's upbeat, a recent song and it's a female sounding voice.

Anyone know what I'm talking about? :)

You're probably thinking of LMFAO. I don't know what the name of the song is called (although I should because they play it at my job, but I don't really care for them).

Anyways, it sounds like it's a girl but it's really a guy with his auto-tune.

is red lipstick too bold to wear to school? i love it and i wear it all the time out side of school, but i've never worn it to school, it makes me look better, but i don't know. what do you think? 17/f

No. I've had friends who wore red lipstick to school. It's no big deal.

Alright, In June I had gotten the env Touch because my enV 2 had fallen in a lake and gotten lost.
Ever since I got it, it would decied to turn off at random times.

Today -October 15- My phone had turned off when I got off my school bus to go into school. I turned it on, and went to type in my phone unlock code but then realized it wasn't there.
Somehow when my phone shut off, it reseted my internal and external background, banner, and took off my phone lock code.
But everything else was fine.

I though it was just a random screw up in the system since nothing had happened the rest of the day.

Now it's 8:20pm and my phone just did the exact same thing again.
I turned it on and put everything back to normal.
No less then 3 minutes later it turned off and did the same thing again.

I'm not sure whats going on, but I'm going to bring this to my dads attention tomorrow morning.
If I get another enV Touch if the one I have turns out to have problems, is there any way possible I can save the locked texts I have?

I NEED these texts and I NEED proof of who they're from because they are harassment texts from this girl I locked so I can take her to court of they continue. My schoo principal has seen these texts, so he knows who they're from.

If I forward them to my email it wont say they're from this girl. This is why I absolutley NEED to save these texts somehow with proof of the number they're from.

Help?

And yes, I have a phone memory card that can switch all my data to a new phone, but it DOES NOT switch texts to the knew phone, I've had many experiences with this.

Help, asap.

You need to take the phone to Verizon store where you bought it. Chances are, they're going to give you a new En-V Touch & make you send in the old one since that's the one that's broken.

There's not really much else you can do to recover those text messages on a different phone. Just e-mail them to yourself. It may not say who they're from but if you write down her number in the e-mail, I'm sure that'll be proof enough.

whats douching?

It's a technique to clean the vagina.

You can buy douche packs at the store. It's gonna be in the same aisle as the pads, tampons, etc.

One of my best friends got a colored tattoo about the size of a fist on his shoulder and said it cost $250, the place was really nice and they charged by the hour. I'll be getting one on my hip that's about one inch by 4 inches in black and grey tones. Any predictions on the cost? The parlor was rated 5 stars in multiple reviews that I found, it's not the same one my friend went to. I've already emailed them but I haven't gotten a response.

You have to go in for a quote because most places won't give quotes over the phone or e-mail, etc. I think they need to see the idea first hand, the placement, etc before they can tell you exactly how much they're going to charge you. It also goes by artist because every artist charges differently so while one will charge $250 another will charge more or less.

Just go to the shop and get the quote. That way if you have any questions about it, you can ask them. They probably know a lot more about this than we do, and I'm sure your friend would tell you the same thing I'm telling you right now. And if you wanna know how I know, I've got 3 tattoos. So, that should be experience enough.

Who's the prettiest girlfriend of Robert Pattinson?

Well, if the rumors of him dating Kristen Stewart are true, I'd have to say she's the prettiest. People tend to think she's boring or dull looking, but I think she's very striking.

How do u make letters bigger on myspace

Take out the stars.

I want to have a pet. I'm not talking about cats or dogs though. I would like a small pet that can be kept in a cage. My parents are divorced and I spend one weekend a month with my dad and would want to take the pet with me.

I'd like a fairly intelligent pet. Something that isn't too smelly would be nice. I have heard things about Chinchillas being cute but I have read plenty of times that they are very fragile. I don't want a fragile pet. Cute isn't REALLY important though.

I can do a few hours of maintenance a day with the pet so if it needs walks or playtime that is just fine with me. A friendly animal would be nice...something that could get used to being held sometimes.

My best friend suggested getting a rat but I'm not sure. What would you suggest?

I would suggest a hamster. They're fairly cheap (around $11-12 at Petco) BUT when you buy the cage, the food, the bedding, the hiding house, the chew toys, etc, it can get pretty pricy. They're awesome though.

They don't take much care. You can clean the cage everyday if you like, but you can also clean it once a week. Giving them chew toys will prevent them from biting on their cage. Get them a ball so they can roll around for a bit since being in a cage constantly is tiring. Refill their food everyday & you're set.

Hamsters are fun & cute, so I would recommend that. Just make sure you take good care of them because poor care will cause them to die. They live for around 2 years with proper care.

I was writing a letter the other day and realized that I had no idea what P.S. really stood for. I've seen it plenty of times, along with P.P.S, even. What do these letters actually stand for though?

It means Post Script.

I seriously need some help.
Ok, so 2 weeks ago... at the start of the school holidays, my boyfriend and I attended this party, everyone was piss wasted, and I was so out of it...
I don't remember a lot, but...

My boyfriend told me to make out with this really hot chick, so I did... Then this random dude was like, ALL over me... and He was kissing me and feeling me and shit.

And... my boyfriend saw and he was being all emo the rest of the night, I tried to make it up to him, but he wouldn't talk to me, like at all.

The next morning, I went to another state and went to another suburb... (like for the holidays)
I haven't seen him in two weeks, and just recently he's been talking to me online, asking me "if this is really working" and "if you wana break up, just say so."
-Does that mean he want's to breakup with me, but he doesn't want to do it? Like he wants me to dump him?

He says he doesn't trust me.
What can I do to gain his trust?
Probably nothing huh?

I just, hate this!
He makes me feel so shit about myself, all the
time. Like even before all this shit happened...
If he only know how much he was hurting me.

What should I do?
P L E A S E !
I'm so desperate.

If your boyfriend makes you feel like shit, then you shouldn't be together. No one should feel shitty in their own relationship.

Break it off.

I've been with my boyfriend for almost three weeks, and people keep saying to me 'Awh, you and * look so cute together!' or things along those lines, and I'm not sure how I should respond. I mean, naturally I'm happy, but I'm just not sure what an appropriate response to that would be.
Any suggestions? :)

Just say "Thanks." There is no fancy response to that. Just say thanks and move along.

What is the best place to go in Las Vagus, Nevada?

Las Vegas* is awesome.

There's a lot of cool places to go, so I would try & go to see as much as you can. Catch the fountain show on the strip.

The Luxor is SO amazing. They have a Titanic exhibit. I didn't get to see it because it was kinda pricey, but it looks like it'd be cool. Make sure you go to the M&M store & the Coca Cola store. They have LOTS of memorabilia. Some of it is a little over priced, but it's Vegas so it's not exactly shocking.

I would definitely go for a gondola ride at the Venetian if I were you. It's super romantic. :) If you happen to go to the New York, New York, ride their roller coaster because it is so much fun! The design of the hotel is really amazing. If anything, that would be a great place to stay because it's so nice looking. It could be a little costly but since it's on the strip, it's worth it.

Make sure you hit up hotels that are off the strip. The Stratosphere is really nice. If you wanna stay there, they're decently priced (around $25 a night). They have a nice pool area as well. Also, the buffet at The Orleans is really good. So is the buffet at the Rio.

There's something you must do when you're checking in. It's called the $20 trick. Chat up the person at the desk, and when they ask for your credit card or your ID, slip them a $20. Ask if they have any better rooms available that they could possibly upgrade you to. It works about 70-80% of the time, and it's definitely worth it. :) I don't recommend slipping anything higher than a $20 but if you're feeling risky then that's your call.

Definitely take in all the sights and the experience. Take lots of pictures. Vegas is a lot of fun so make sure you do whatever you can! :)

Ok so I'm 19 years old. I never really acted my age since when I was little i failed 2 grades but even like that i was always "childish". I don't look my age either. Most people think im only 16 and freak out when i say I'm 19. Mys sister is 14 and shes my best friend. we do mostly everything together. Shes gonna have her "quinceanera" which is when a girl turns 15 party. So she has her "court of honor" with all her friends. I never met X before but i did hear about him. And my sister said he liked me because he would see me when i would pick her up from school. there has only been two practices and he has went to both. the first time i saw him i thought he was around 17. but hes 15. We started talking during the practice. He got the dance really fast so had to dace with most of the girls so they would understand it too. he said a little comment about dancing with me. (one girl wasn't there so i had to fill her place. I'm not in it) But i told him that i wasn't in it. Some how he ended up dancing with me and i was like. Why are you with me you should be with another girl. and he was like oh yeah. he asked me why i wasn't in it and i told him because i didn't want to and of my age. he said he thought i was 16. and i said nope I'm 19. Last practice was Sunday again he was flirting with me i try to stay away from him. but some how i always end up near him. We started talking about his cousins 15. and end up being really far away from the rest of the group. One girl saw us talking and said that we looked cute. i told her well I'm 19 and hes 15. and she laughed and said that she wouldn't tell. and he put his had around me and say thank you. When i drove everyone home i told them that they had to be quite cause i wasn't used to driving in car with a lot of people and who ever was the quietest got to ride shotgun well everyone was laughing because he was the quietest. he ended up being the last one to drop off. UGH! i kinda secretly am starting to like him more than what i think I'm aloud to. I don't think its right. Not about sex. because thats not even in my mind. I have always wanted to wait till I'm married. So what should I do should i follow along or just try and stay away from him?

Yes, you are too old for him. He is a minor & you are an adult.

I would just stay away from him. It'll do you both a lot of good, especially you.

what could t****r stand for?
cheers xxx

I have no idea considering you filled it with stars.
