i was wondering, does anyone have any clue as to how you would go about joining the cirque du soleil? i'm 16 years old and interested in doing something i'll enjoy with my life, and i figured while i'm researching it i could ask here, because you never know what you'll find, or what secret tips people are carrying you know?
this is obviously not your average advicenators question, and i'll appreciate any little known information anyone may have to offer! (link)
|
now, are you talking about performing as a gymnast, or doing something else? they need gumnasts, clowns, musicians, costume designers, act designers, music composers, singers, stage set designers, and so much more. whatever you want to do, you have to be really good at it.
here's the casting page from their official website: http://www.cirquedusoleil.com/CirqueDuSoleil/en/jobs/onstage/default.htm
from here you can contact them, if you think possess any talents they're searching for (or will possess in the future).

HELP!!!I luv my brother so much well hes cute major but hes a spoiled brat and everyones likes him and I guess thats why hes spoiled.I cant controll myself and yes hes 4 years old.
I dont know if I should keep hugin him or ignore him 4 being spoild.
HELP!!! (link)
| |
no. if he's spoiled, you shouldn't do things that spoil him, but you shouldn't stop loving him either. ignore him whenever he behaves badly (kids who recieve a lot of attention hate that so it's a good punishment), but always hug him and give him attention whenever he does something good - like helping you with something, saying "thank you," etc. he's not spoiled because everyone loves him - he's spoiled because people aren't trying to limit him. and maybe you should specify what you mean by "spoiled" -any specific behaviors? that'll make it easier to answer your question.

well people i have been volenteering at the local pool with swimming lessons...and i recently had 4 classes and i got a sunburn and i need it to stop the pain...so what should i do....i hvent taken a shower yet but will it be bad if I do!please give me all the advice you can....
thanks,

buy some aloe vera sunburn relief gel or, if you have an aloe vera plant at home, just cut off a leaf, split it down the middle and spread the gell that's inside on your sunburn. if you don't have either one, you can just use some sunblock - it can help a little after you've been sunburned too. taking a shower is ok, but you probably don't want to turn the temp too high.

Some people say that money isn't everything. But is this really true? If a person makes minimum wage and can barely afford food, can that person still be happy? (link)
|
have you ever heard of maslow's hierarchy of needs? it's a very interesting and popular theory about what people need to have before they can become happy, or in maslow's terms, self-actualized. the very bootom of the pyramid, or the most important thing that you need to start out with, are physiological needs. food, water, clothes. so, according to this theory, once the person has covered these needs, then they can go on with trying to achieve self-actualization. for more info, check out http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maslow's_hierarchy_of_needs
those are just one guy's ideas, and i'm not saying they're 100% true, but it makes sence that you can't go on with self-actualization, or becoming content with who you are and where you are, until you don't have to spend every minute of your time worrying what you're going to eat tonight and how you're going to buy that winter jacket for your kids. but you don't have to be rich. you know, someone said that you're not rich if you have a lot, but you are rich if you feel you have enough. different people have different understandings of what's enough.

it's really obvious that my mom tries to bring me down. how could she not know when she talks to me. i told her but she said that it was just the way she was. but how can that be when it sounds like she is trying to make me look like i go around looking like an idiot. she's like a jealous husband or boyfriend and i don't like it. she doesn't even make any sense anymore. you make her mad and she reacts like it's the worse thing ever. she wasn't like this before. (link)
| |
sorry, but you forgot to ask your question.
|
ok, i have an online friend who i've been friends with for 6 years now and i sort of have a crush on him and i think he does too...he's just an amazing guys but lately he's been moody with me and just an ass sometimes...sometimes he'll be so sweet and tell me sweet things like he likes me and that he wants to be my boyfriend and then the next time we chat, he's such an ass and denies everything he said the last time we talked!
what is that about???? can someone explain?? is he just playin with me? should i just stop talking to the guy?
I guess i should point out that he's never had a g/f, would that have anything to do with it?
ok thanks in advance for any advice given :)
(link)
| |
maybe he has bipolar disorder, or something of the sort. it's when a person has really bad mood swings, and one day they seem hyper and sweet, the next they're isolated and rude. just don't talk to him when you see that he's being rude again. tell him you have to go, and sign out. as for the relationship, do you really think it could actually work? he probably lives far away from you, and he's acting this way... maybe you should find someone who doesn't act like that and whom you know in real life.
|
Okay, tonight, my mom got really mad at me. Like REALLY mad. And it was all over this stupid box of macaroni that she asked me to make for dinner. I read the instructions wrong, and thought that you had to let the water boil for 10 minutes before putting in the macaraoni. So anyway, she flipped out on me. And started screaming. And she slapped me twice. And i really wanted to hit her, but i didn't, i just grabbed her wrist's really hard. So she flipped out on me contiunously, and after i made dinner, she went on to say "i dont even like this crap anyway" and didn't eat all of it.
This isn't the first time she's done stuff like this and i dont know how to deal with it. what do i do? (link)
| |
maybe she has other serious stress factors in her life, like her job or something else, and she's taking it out on you. it happens a lot and sometimes the only way to deal with it is just to swallow it. when she begins to react at you this way, just be quiet and don't say anything. also, when my mom was like this (years ago), my brothers once recorded her while she was at it and then played the recording to her later. it made her really ashamed of herself and she never acted like that again. or you could just say "you need to see yourself in the mirror right now" or "i wish you could hear yourself!" that might cause a little more negativity at that moment, but still cause her to reflect upon it later.

14.f.
My parents make me go to my grandparents house during the day, because they don't trust me in our house alone.
Well, a few days ago I was reading this book that I have to read for school. I finished the book, and my grandmother asked if she could read it then give it back to me. And I said sure, and gave it to her.
The thing is, I don't know what I was thinking, because the book has SO many cursewords and has sex (gasp) in it. And she's my grandmother...
My mom went over to my grandparents house today just for a visit, and my grandmother said she finished the book, and was concerned about my school, for assigning a book like that. She said she was really surprised about all the cursewords and that I was reading it.
I have to go to their house again all this week. And I am SO embarressed, you have no idea. I'm not sure what my exact question is, just, what do I do?
Does anyone care to be my savior? (link)
|
just wondering, what book was it? was it catcher in the rye, by any chance? just curious =O
and since i'm already typing this, i agree with others - it's not that big of a deal. very often when you worry about some insident and stay up all night thinking what to say to that person next time you see them, at the end the topic doesn't even come up and everything comes out better than you expected. so don't worry. if she does talk about the book, just discuss what u liked and didn't like about it, main themes... just talk about it like you would about any other book.

I've been running the last couple days because I want to start exercising a lot more. But when I woke up this morning, my calves were really really sore. I didn't pull anything or anything like that, they're just sore from all the running. Should I still run today or should I take a break because of the sore calves? If I should take a break on running, is there anything else I could do exercise-wise? Thanks in advance =] (link)
| |
take a beak today. but next time don't forget to stretch - that will prevent the soreness. our coach always told us to switch every day - one day work on your upper body, and then the next day work out your legs. that way you always stay active, but your muscles have time to rest. so when you're not running, you could go to a weightroom and work your biceps, triceps, deltoid and so on. or you could do puch-ups, crunches and such. sorry i can't give you more examples of exersises you could do at home, but i've always worked out at school at the weightroom. you could always ask an athletics coach or try researching it online.

Ok so I'm 16/f, and I feel really weird because most of my friends have done something, and I've barely even kissed.
Everyone I meet is always like 'how can you still be a virgin?' and it feels a bit uncomfortable.
The things is that I always hear older people say to keep it, that they regret doing it in the first place, but why? My friends dont seem to regret it. And almost no guy would go out with someone who's not sexually active. At least no guy I've come across thinks differently.
What should I do? (link)
|
peer pressure, peer pressure, peer pressure... it's heavier than a whole elephant circus.
be smarter than your friends. it might seem like you're missing out on something... but you're not. just imagine - your friends most likely lost their virginities to the first guy that wanted to do it with them. they probably didn't enjoy it too much the first time because it hurt. but they were just happy that they were finally THERE, one of THEM. it was not special to them.
and imagine yourself. a while from now. maybe in a few months, or maybe in a few years. you're with a guy you love very much. you don't want to have sex with him because you want to finally lose your virginity, you want to do it because you want to make love to him. and it will be very special to you, even if it hurts. even if the relationship does not last, the memory will.
i have a housemate who is 24 and she lost her virginity at 23. she didn't regret it one bit, even though she broke up with the guy she did it with. she just didn't have any regrets. and then i had another housemate. she did it with five different guys a month. she got an std from one of them. finally, when she decided to get into a serious relationship, she dated two guys at the same time, and it ended up tearing her life apart. does that sound like a good life to have?
anyway, just try to remember that even though your friends feel like they're the wiser and might be looking down on you, in reality you're the one who is being wise. maybe ten years from now they'll wish they had made the same choices you did.

ok so there's this boy i met on a cruise a few days ago and well i really didn't meet him but he's tall cute kinda shy which is like the oposite of me the only problem is i can't remember his name it's really weird and i think it starts with a E. well here's my real question...how do i get him out of my mind? i think about him non stop he is the only boy i have ever cried over and i beat myself up menatly becouse i didn't make better friends with him. i need help forgeting him and moving on i have no way of getting hold of him so it makes it much worse i'm so upset please help i rate.

oh man, opposites attract like frikking magnets. you're lucky you're the outgoing one - you can make moves on the shy guys you like. i'm the shy one who likes outgoing guys and can't do anything about it. ahem, sorry...
ayway, what i wanted to say was that you liked that boy because he was your type. did he appear to be the opposite of you, yet something about him seemed right, almost familiar? well... i don't want to get into really annoying detail here, but there's a thing called myers-briggs, or also socionics and typology. it divides all people into 16 types. there's 8 soulmate couples within those types. so think about it... every 16th guy could be your soulmate! that guy was probably your right type, and he was cute. of course, there's more to it than that. but you will be able to find another guy who seems just right.
and another thing... once i felt the same way about a guy at my school. he seemed like the opposite of me - popular, outgoing, understanding, careless about his grades. but i was so shy and never even talked to him. a few years later i find his lifejournal... turns out that he is gay, but that's the worst part. he is an idiot. so, i liked a gay idiot the whole time. what is not at all the way you thought he seems? i know it's hard to think of it that way because you'll never find out for sure, but chances are, he really isn't. when you get a crush like that, you tend to give the person a lot of made-up traits and angelic characteristics along the way without even realising it.
just give it time. your other soulmate is out there. and because you're outgoing, you won't have so much trouble finding him.

im 13/f and whenever i go swimmin i get a little darker and i like my skin tone the way it is how do i go swimmin and still not get a tan? (link)
| |
use an spf 50-70 sunblock, that should help for sure. i think they're intended for babies or people with extremely sensitive skin or even albino, but if you don't want to get any more tan, it should work. besides, uv radiation is bad for your skin anyway - it increases the risk of skin cancer and makes it age faster. so, if you use a really strong sunblock, it would be better both for your looks and for your health.

im going to be 17 years old in a week. and ive never really had a "real boyfriend" before. i mean i went out with like 3 guys, but that was all in middle school, and it wasnt anything like people have now in high school.. tomorrow im going to this party with my friend, and ive been praying all day to let me find a guy that wont just try to get in my pants and then leave. thats what always happens. it would make my birthday soo much better if i could just find a guy that i connect with, and that is actually interested in me and not only sex. especially the first night we meet. there are guys that want to meet me in person and hang out that are from myspace, they are my age and live by me but for some reason i always turn them down. every single one of them. does that mean that non of them are "right" for me? or am i just shy? i dont know.
tomorrow i want to get to know a guy and maybe even go on a date or two after the party. and then hopefully it can lead into my first real relationship
but i dont even know how to get started with that. i dont know how to act or what to say or anything..and how do i know that they actually want to get to know me and they arent just using me to get some? how can u tell the difference?
if anyone and everyone could help me in any way possible to make me think i might actually meet someone tomorrow night i would appreciate it soooooo much.
i always wish on stars that i see and i pray that i find a guy, but it never happens.
i really really think i deserve this. i know i can get a guy, because i do think im pretty. so thats not the reason.. but i dont know why i cant ever find someone that i like enough.
thanks sooo much xoxoxo (link)
|
well... i am almost 18, a sophomore in college (it happens) and i haven't been in a serious relationship either.
you are right to reject guys from myspace. i tried going out with a guy like that once, because i thought he could be trusted since he was russian like me. it was pretty dumb, like i didn't know that guys think the same way no matter where they're from! if they're asking you out online, they are probably just looking at the picture and thinking "that's a hot chick, i wouldn't mind taking her panties off!"
anyway. the reason that i'm still single is that i'm afraid to open up. every guy that i've opened up to and became good friends with (or just was really open with for some period of time, even one night) ended up asking me out. unfortunately, i only do that when i know that i could never be attracted to the guy. point is, i'm using this example to tell you that sometimes you need to let them take a look deep inside you. tell them your fears, your secrets, the silliest things that could possibly come to your mind, things you are embarrased off. i personally can't do it with guys i find attractive, but that's just my problem and i'll try to work on that. maybe you have have more guts than me. or maybe we both need to work on it.

im 13/f
whenever i go out in the sun and its like too hot or i run a lot or when i like get embarrassed my face starts turnin red its not becuz of sunburn and when i go inside and turn on the cooler my face turns normal again. Can u guys tell me what i can do so my face wont turn red like a cherry? (link)
|
you listed three completely different situations, but they all happen for the same reason - your blood vessels just work that way. some people get a little pink in those situations, some don't have blood flow to their face at all, and others are like you and turn "red like a cherry." it's just your phenotype, there isn't much you can do about it. only thing i can suggest is learning to control your body better through yoga, but that takes many years of practice... so unless you want to become a hardcore yogini, your only option is getting a tan or wearing tan make-up to lighten the effects a little.
***
i just casually asked my parents about it, and my dad said he read a book on acupuncture, and apparently if you want to stop yourself from blushing or having a fast heartbeat, you have to press hard with your nail (use your left thumb) at the inside top part of your right pinky. he says it really works (trust me, he's the kind of person who would have to use it a lot). i hope that's not too confusing. if you want to learn more, check out a book on acupuncture at your library.

you know how in little kid's boutiques they have clothes that have patches on them that have like candy logos? like soffe shorts with a bazooks bubblegum logo on it? the logo isn't apart of the fabric. the deigners get some kind of patch and put it on regular old soffe shorts and make like 20 dollars off of 7 dollar shorts just cause of the patch. I want to know how to get things like this to put on shirts and how to put them on, or how to somehow make logos into things to put on shirts. thanks! (link)
| |
buy special iron-on printing sheets they sell at places like wal-mart or office depot among other types of special printing sheets, find the logo online, print it out and iron it onto anything you want. not 100% sure that it would be completely legal because i'm sure those t-shirt companies get permission to print those logos, but then who cares, it's not that big of a deal. make sure you use a good printer, those print-outs don't always look quite as good as the painted ones.

Ok, so there's this guy that really likes me, we'll call him Joe. Joe is going out wiht my best friend we'll call Sarah. Well Joe dosen't even like Sarah and I have a boyfriend, but I like Joe a lot.
I like my boyfriend AND Joe.
Joe really likes me, like once, we almost kissed. We got close and then my cell phone rang.
My boyfriend is sweet and I love him to death, but I don't know what to do.
Like if I dump my boyfriend then go for it with Joe, Sara will hate me!
What to do what to do?
I'm just really confused. please help. (link)
| |
sounds to me like you should just forget about joe. think about it - you will be hurting your boyfriend, your best friend, and possibly even yourself. what if it doesn't work out with joe? you'll whant what you had with your boyfriend back and there will be nothing you will be able to do to get him back. is joe worth giving up two people who are closest to you? try not being around him too much. if he comes on to you, tell him that it could never work.

okay, so i'm 14/m, and she's 14/f, and i've known her for a really long time as a friend, and i've had a secret crush on her forever now.
so i said to her the other day, "hey, do you wanna go see a movie or something on friday" and she looks at me like i'm crazy. i've never really had a girlfriend before, and i think i totally f*cked up our relationship. she won't even talk to me anymore. anyone got some advice that could help? (link)
| |
well, i've had a couple of good guy friends ask me out, and even though both times i knew they liked me and i expected them to ask the question soon enough, it still came as a shock. i think she needs some time to get over it. give her a day or two, then ask her is she likes you, and let her know that if she doesn't, you would really like to continue being friends. but if she says no, don't keep moping and hoping that she'd change her mind, because that will only make her not want to hang out with you. trust me, i know. on the other hand, if you just let it go and act like it never happened but still be friends, she might actually think about reconsidering (once again, that's from personal experience).

Hi. If it helps, I'm 15/f. Ok, I think I might be gay or bi. Lately, I have found myself wanting to be with a girl more than with a guy. A few weeks ago I was at the waterpark with a friend, and I checked out almost every pretty girl I saw. Now, honestly, I don't know if it is because I might be gay, or because I find myself wanting to be a lot like them. Also, there is this girl at my school who just graduated. We were friends, and she was also gay. We played softball together for 2 years. I found myself wanting to be with her more and more everyday. I have had this 'crush' on her for as long as we have known each other. First, it started out with her looks, but I as I got to know her, it became stronger. I haven't had a real 'crush' on a guy since then. I don't really find any boys that attractive any more, but I find myself checking out girls more and more often. Also, when I watch movies, I check out the girls more than the guys. It's just like the guys are there, and the girls are there for me. It's hard to explain. I mean, I don't really want a boyfriend. As awkward as this sounds, I WANT A GIRLFRIEND! You know, how usually girls dream of doing sexual things with a hot guy they see in a movie or something? I do that with girls!! Someone please tell me your honest opinion. (link)
| |
you could really be a lesbian, or you could be going through a phase. although fankly, i think it sounds like more than a phase. but don't be too freaked out. it only matters what makes you happy. if you think you'll enjoy being with a girl, then by all means go find yourself a cute and funny girlfriend! just be aware of the stress ahead that you will have to go through if you really do turn out to be homosectual - having to tell your parents, fasing homophobia from strangers, employers, coworkers, and even your friends. but anyway, sometimes people thinking that they might be homosectual get a partner of their sex, and then realize that it's not really what they want. so maybe you should just try it out, see if it "fits."

hi. i need ideas for what kinds of things i should make and sell at a craftr fair. i already made jewlery, mirrors, and picture frames. what are some cheap things i can make that are not too hard to do?
thx ill rate (link)
|
you could also make greeting cards - some stores sell blank cards in their craft sections or you could just fold hard paper. decorate them with pieces of fabric, glitter, beads, hearts and whatever comes to your mind.
also, you could make keychains (they sell rings in craft sections too). to make those you just need to play with your imagination a little. you could make them with beads, hemp, clay, fabric, and a lot of other things.
another thing i thought of are strings to hold your glasses. i'm not sure what those are called, but you could just buy the little loops to go on the glasses in a craft section and then simply attach them to long strands of beads.

I am 20, a little athletic but i could stand to lose 20 pounds (i'm just a shade under 6' tall, 221 lbs.). I show everyone respect, I'm always referred to as a 'great friend' or 'like a big brother', but no matter how much i try i cannot get past that image. i'm either not seen as a date-able person or everyone i try to get close to lies and leads me on instead of telling me the truth and letting me know why they're not interested or what i was doing wrong. Am i doomed to be forever in the hell that we guys call the "Friend-zone"?
Any and all suggestions are welcome, but I have had enough 'help' from other guys. please understand that i'm looking for the female's answer to my problem.
thank you,
Confused-&-Sad (link)

i know what you mean. i have a couple of friends like that, they both asked me out and i rejected them because i felt like we could be close friends rather than boyfriend/girlfriend. i think the probelem is that guys like you often act like they want to become just friends from the very beginning. maybe it's because you don't get a crush on a girl until you know her much better, or maybe because you're afraid to make moves. you just need to let her know that it's an option as soon as you think you might like her. maybe flirt with her a little, compliment her eyes or her sence of humor, and so on. ask her out soon enough where you're not really friends yet but you enjoy each other's company. i personally would not date a close friend, but i would date someone who i have known for a long time. that way she mayb know that you have a pleasant personality, but she's not yet in that friend-mode where she can't imagine herself making out with you.
