I heard the phone recordings by Oksana Grigorieva about Mel Gibson yelling and being mean. I think there's like 5 or 6 revealing tapes now. Well, I'm wondering if anybody knows if they've been altered or doctored up? I haven't gotten to read anything about that but I'm sure it's been questioned lately since they're new on the Radar site pretty much.

Does anyone know?
And, by "know" I mean have you heard anything about it from TV, News, or internet article?

Kind of curious since I really like Mel Gibson as an actor and would hate for this stuff to ruin his career if it isn't for real...

And, heck, if you don't know...feel free to just give me your opinion then :) THANKS

Seem real to me. Doesn't make a difference, his career was ruined after the sugar-tits and "Jews are the cause of all wars" thing a few years ago.

I will be heading away to college for the first time next month and I am staying in a dorm that has community bath/shower rooms. It really wigs me out not to not have a private bathroom of my own...is there anything you can tell me that will help?

You're not a boy. Small victories.

I'm starting school in august and just want something easy to use with good battery life that is durable. All computers seem the same to me!! Just have to write papers and use the internet basically... And store music and pictures

If all your doing is writing papers and going on the Internet and storing music and pictures, you should go with a PC. You can't afford a Mac if you're a college student. It's paying thousands extra for something slightly more shiny. If you're a smart PC user and actually download anti virus and anti spyware and anti malware software, you'll be fine.

Hey, Advicenators!

I need some help interpreting a dream because I think it is of great significance.

The dream begins with me in the backseat of a car with a 5-year-old kid driving. I was scared.

The next part of the dream seems of more significance. I dreamed that I was in my crush's living room (I've never been there before, though) and I am using his laptop. It is very similar to my own. There is no one else in the living room and I am sitting on the couch with a table in front of the couch and then a turned off television. I am using his laptop, logged on his account, and we are instant messaging. He tells me that he'll be here soon, etc. However, while we are IMing, more than twice, the laptop just logs me off for no reason!

At one point, two girls walk in wearing dark red dresses. They both sit to the right of me on the couch. One of the girls is pale (I don't recognize her) and she is REALLY mean to me! She calls me an asshole and is very rude. I was absolutely fuming, but I did not respond to her. The second girl is silent the whole time. She invited my crush to prom this past year and I was jealous, although he and I ended up spending the whole night together. She looked different though: thinner, different facial structure, but I could tell it was her.

Finally, he arrives, and we talk and cuddle, etc.

I've already looked up some of the symbols:
Laptop: need for communication
Couch: relaxation, also sexual connotations
Backseat: not in control of my life (disagree?)
Mean person: I'm too hard on myself
Red: lethargy; lack of energy (disagree)

But, (1) can someone please tell me the significance of the laptop continually logging me off in the middle of our conversation? It was very annoying, and I was afraid he would lose interest in me. A couple times, it was password-protected and I asked the pale girl what the password is accidentally, and she was REALLY mean and rude. Does it imply communication lapses and "boundaries" in our current close friendship? (2) Do the two girls represent his other potential love interests? The girl who went to prom with him will be graduating and at one point had a crush on him, but he definitely is not interested in her. The pale girl was wearing a really short dark red dress, but BOTH girls disappeared when he arrived, if this is of any significance.

Please note: I really like this guy and I want to pursue a relationship with him, which I think is very well possible.

Thank you!

It means you have way too much time on your hands and you need to give some of that to me. Dreams don't mean shit.

ok... I am 18 and getting married soon.. My mom used to want to do stuff with me all the time.. but for about the past 4 or 5 years it seems like she doesn'treally care about me anymore... I have 2 older sisters and to me it seems like she is more worried about whats going on in their lives then mine...The brides parents are supposed to pay for most of the wedding and the only thingmy mom has done is buy POTATOES!!! I don't want to confront her about it cause she doesn't really listen to me anyway. I try asking her to do things with me and I try to involve her in the wedding plans and everything but I don't know what to o about her anymore..someone please HELP!!!

It's your wedding; you can pay for it yourself. The whole bride's parents statute is a thing of the past. Don't bitch.

hey im a 23 year old girl ive been with my husband for 8 years we've been married for 2years. we have a beautiful son together. I love my husband sooo much . but for the last 2-3 years ive been having sexual feelings towards women . i thought it was just a phase at first or a fantasy but still to this day i feel the same. i only seem to get arroused when i see or think off women in a sexual conent . am i bi? or lesbian or do u think its just a fantasy of mine

Why does it matter? You're in a heterosexual relationship and have a child with this person. Whether you're bi or not is literally meaningless.

What does it mean when a guy says he wants to teach you about life? We are both 16 and i'm not sure what he means. I have been friends with this guy since I was in second grade. He has always been like a brother to me, so I dont think that this has anything to do with sex. We have never dated or done anything. He helps me when I'm in trouble, but i'm not a bad peron who gets into trouble either. I've never had any desires or urges to become sexual with him and he hasnt either, sometimes he tells me I'm like one of the guys.People keep telling me its only about sex thats why I'm sying its not. He keeps our relationship non sexual, fully respects me, never says anything sexual and is always being nice to me,so what did he mean he wanted to teach me about life?

It means he listens to too much indie shit.

I'm off to college this year. I'm going to be dorming, but I have NO IDEA what I should bring and what's provided by the university. I didn't get to go to a tour of the dorm so I don't know. (I'm going to Stony Brook, if it helps)

So, what do I HAVE to bring? What should I bring? What shouldn't I bring?

The other two just about covered it, but I'd like to elaborate on Witty's advice about valuables.

LOCK. YOUR. DOOR.
HIDE. YOUR. SHIT.

I cannot stress that enough. This past semester, one of my roommates decided to be an idiot and not lock the door. Guess who had their lap tops stolen? Luckily I had mine with me, so my 85 gigs of music were safe, but those filthy douche bags are still short two shiny Macs. So, because you can't trust your roommates to do what one would assume is something completely obvious, you should always hide your valuables.

Okay hey Matt... Well you answered a previous question I had and I just wanted to follow up. It's me the fourteen year old girl that got dumped by her sixteen year old douche bag boyfriend who guilted me into giving him a bj and then broke up with me four days later? yeahhh... just refreshing your memeory.

Thing is weve still been kind of talking... Cuz as stupid as I know it is and as much as I don't want to I STILL like him... I promise, I don't want to like him but I honestly just can't help it... I still think about him everyday and I cry myself to sleep unless I sleep with the teddy bear he gave me and I just feel like we could have made our relationship work if we had tried a little harder. He doesn't want me back... at all... and as horrible as this sounds I just want him to be upset! I feel like a pair of socks he just threw off without a second thought. He's already starting to put new socks on... lame metaphor I know... But I really do still like him and I don't know why!! How can I like someone who treated me like shit and has hurt me this bad?? Why am I so cut up about someone who doesn't even care about me?? It's just so confusing because one day he'll say things liek "I handled all of this wrong. I wish we would have had more time to think about it. I'm sorry I hurt you, I feel bad. I did enjoy seeing you today :)" (we saw eachother at a party) and then the next day he'll say things like "shut the fuck up katie, stop talking to me, this is why I find you annoying. I don't like you, it's over." Even when he is being sweet we both know gettnig back together is not going to happen. He wants to be friends... but I don't think I can do that. All I want right now is to stop liking him because I know I shouldn't but I don't know what to do...

You shooouuulldddd fill his role in your life with other, non-douchey things. You've already answered your question. You don't want to be friends, he's too big of a fuck to get back in a relationship with, and he's a flip-flopping asshole.

And yet you still like him. I'm not going to question that, and there's nothing necessarily wrong with that. What would be wrong is trying to make something work that CLEARLY has not, will not, and most of all, can not. So toss the teddy bear, hang out with your friends more often, and just generally fill that void. Stop talking to him.
