Hi, I'm Anna. I love visual art - acrylic painting, CG, color pencil. I'm also interested in poetry and classics, particularly Latin. I play ice hockey and love to ski (I get lots of chances since I live in Maine). I adore the ocean and my favorite color is blue. Thankyou. *bow*

well i have never met my father and my mom told me that he was married 2 times before he met my mother but he never married my mom and he had 6 boys beofre me and i'm a girl. and the only thing i don't get is why he could get married 2 times before my mom and then have 6 boys with 2 other women and spen time with them but when he realizes that he has a girl he runs and i ahve never met him and i don't understand how he could handle 6 boys but not me? and all i want to knwo is how like when i talk about my dad that i don't break down in tears how can i do that?

I don't think it's because you're a girl... it sounds like he knew the other women much better, so maybe he feels like he's responsible for the boys. After all, he was married to their mothers. If he didn't marry your mother, he was probably going to run whether or not you were a girl - likely whether or not you even existed. And in the off chance that it was because you were a girl, then I don't think he's the kind of guy I'd want to have around. Still, it's sad you haven't met him. Is there any way you could? That's the best solution... if you can't, just know that it's not your fault.

What's a good way to pick up chicks? (link)

Offer chocolate. Some people *coughme* would do pretty much anything for chocolate. Make sure it's good and dark.

I want to dye my hair blue... no... I MUST dye my hair blue! bright blue! the problem is that I have dark hair and I've never dyed it before and I think I have to bleach it blonde first then dye it blue for the color to show up. Is that going to ruin my hair and make it all crackly and nasty? (link)
| |
I'm a little iffy on the blue, personally... in my experience, it fades to a weird green-grey. Be prepared to dye it back again (or to something else) when that starts to happen. Redder colors don't have that problem.

What's a good way to meet new people? (link)
|
Go new places!
When you're in a social situation, make eye contact. Talk to people. Smile. People like friendly people! Get involved through volunteering, church groups, school groups, whatever. Meet your friends' friends. Be gregarious! ...yeah, easier said than done. But it works!

I'm on my period and have really awful cramps. What's the best drug to take? Aspirin? Tylenol? I'm tempted to just take them all. (link)
| |
I generally take Aleve because it lasts a long time... you can get it anywhere... and you only need to take two at most (I'm crap at swallowing stuff, especially when I'm feeling lousy). Advil works okay in a pinch, and it kicks in faster... I've heard wonders about Midol, but I don't take it... though I think it has caffeine or something in it. I would personally NOT recommend Aspirin or Tylenol, but that may be just my preference.

I want to have a party and I want to serve cheese, but I don't think plain old cheddar is very classy or interesting. What are some other good cheeses I can serve just cut up as cubes, that people might not have tried before but will still like? (link)
|
Sharp cheddar isn't boring at all... and it goes REALLY well in veggie wraps with salad dressing. Honest.
I am personally a fan of St. Andre, but I don't know if that's the kind of cheese, or the company it's from. But it's squishy! I'm a lot of help, I know.

I am building a bridge out of toothpicks. Problem? The stupid glue won't dry! PLEASE help me! It's due tomorrow! (link)
| |
Ah, I remember making one of those... if you can't get the glue to dry, try clamping the toothpicks together with wire or twist ties until they'll stay on their own. Then when the glue is dry, you can unwrap the wire.

How do I get kids to show up for debate practice, or to take chess practice more seriously?
Chess isn't all fun and games if you want to get good. And it's frustrating to go to tournaments and lose all the time, so I'd think they'd want to get better. Study. Too much like schoolwork.
At least they're showing up for chess practice. I'm getting almost nobody to debate practice. And this was their idea, too.

Well, the best thing I can think of for debate is to give them really controversial issues, things that are important to them, and let them take sides and just argue it out for a while. Then get more formal once interest has gone up.

Is it better to dance and look really stupid or not dance at all? Should I try taking danceing lessons? (link)
| |
Definitely dance... I used to be too shy to dance, but now I just do my own stupid thing... and it's LOTS more fun.

what do i do if i by all the clothing i think is really cool...but when i were 'em at school they dont look so cool..... (link)
| |
Well, if you think your clothes are cool, then stick with them... don't be afraid to be yourself! I always feel kind of less than myself at school, don't worry.

I like to go jogging in the park a lot, but I've heard from some people that it's really tough on my joints, especially knees. My knees and ankles are sore after I run, but I can't think of a better activity to do for my heart, you know what I mean? Is running really so bad? Am I going to crumble into nothing someday, or can I just drink lots of milk and be fine? (link)

You may benefit from better shoes. I'd suggest looking for shoes with lots of cushioning and good arch support, they'll help correct how you put pressure on your legs.

How do you get blood off the walls and carpet because I spilled alot of it while killi*cough* I mean choping up meat and it was all bloody and now everything else is all bloody too. (link)

You should, er, think about calling those friendly people at 911... they'll, uh, clean it for free...

I have been talking with this guy online for over a year now. He only lives about an hour away but neither of us have met people from online so we've never met in person before. My parents are having a bonfire the weekend before Halloween and I've invited him. He's accepted the ivite but I've also arranged to meet him this weekend. I'm really nervous about it. We're really good friends right now and I guess I'm just worried that meeting in person will ruin that. The question I have is should I be worried? (link)
| |
Well, bring another person and all, to be safe... but it seems that you're more worried about how he'll turn out to be. Don't. You've known him for a while and talked to him quite a bit, so he shouldn't be too different in person. Good luck!

My parents want me to go to a state college just because it's cheaper. I want to go to a private university because I like the opportunities they have better and it provides a more Christian atmosphere. My parents don't seem to understand that idea, they just think it's all about the money. I'm willing to pay everything, loans included, and I'm going to get a crapload of scholarships because I'm fairly intelligent. But my parents don't understand that. What should I do? (link)
| |
Private colleges generally provide much better financial aid... I would look into that, as well as the scholarships. If you can get a decent amount, you may well end up with almost the same cost as that of a state school.

I like to run around town in my favorite running shoes, not wearing socks. This is cool because it's relaxing, but not cool because my shoes smell like the living dead. I really, really don't want to wear socks, so besides that, what can I do to cure these things? (link)
|
Well, you can throw them in the wash, as silly as that sounds... you can also buy those aroma-ball things (get them at sports stores), those are pretty spiff. Just remember to take them out of the shoes before you try to put your feet in.
You could also try to sell your current pair on the black market as chemical weapons, and use the profits to buy lots more shoes.

If toast always lands butter-side down, and cats always land on their feet, what happens if you strap toast to a cat and drop it? My first friend said that the cat would eat the toast. My 2nd friend wanted to know what kind of toast: rye, or sourdough, and when I said it was regular white bread, she bit me. I said that the cat and toast would be sucked into a rift in the space-time continuum and the world would end. Who is right? (link)
| |
Well, it really all depends on weight... if the mass of the toast is not equal to that of the cat, then the cat will win. Unless, of course, you used Wonderbread.
