I'm a somewhat logical thinker, though sometimes my mind wanders off into deep fantasy space. My relatives and friends alike can't understand me, which is okay with me, since I can't make heads or tails of some of them either. These faults aside, I enjoy a lot of different things, from all sorts of music, to reading, writing, rambling in the woods and in the verbal form, and have recently discovered photography, though I'm horrible at it. I try being funny, and am noted for suceeding in it. (Though on occasion, my friends wish I were less of a clown in some situations.) My sole confidants are my parakeet and two cats, to whom I tell all my secrets and fears to. Maybe that's why they've gone a bit psychotic. My friends and siblings often are drawn to me for advice, which I have, over the years, given out willingly, and have been informed recently that I'm quite good at giving it.

She's trapped inside her own world of sins


She can't get out, but she never wanted to get in


No one seems to notice, they just pass on by


Everyday she puts on her best smile, never wanting to start to cry


She's ashamed of everything she's ever put herself through


If she could only start over again, there's things she would not do


She never really wanted to be that kind of girl


But it was just so easy to fall into that world


Her world just keeps on falling down, around her like a thick cloud


She can't even see a thing, can't even hear a sound


Her skin crawls with angst, not knowing what to expect


She's afraid to open her eyes, afraid of what she might see next


She'd huddled in a corner, wrapping herself in her arms


Trying to block whatever it is that might put her in some harm


A single tear rolls down her cheek, the one she's tried so hard to block


She's tried to find the key, the one to open up the lock


She never wanted to be bad, but never wanted to be good


She doesn't know which way to go even though she should


The girl looks deep inside her own reflection, to see what she can find


But all she sees is false hope and deception, it's what she's trying to hide


But, you wonder, how I see all those things you can not see


It's a secret I've tried to hold dear, but that little girl is me (link)
Wow...that's sad. Sad, but good. Very good! But is it really you that you're talking about? Awesome job! :)


I shave my legs,
I sit down to pee.
And I can justify any,
Shopping spree.
Don't go to a barber,
But a beauty salon.
I can get a massage
Without a hard-on.
I can balance the checkbook,
I can pump my own gas.
Can talk to my friends,
about the size of my ass.
My beauty's a masterpiece,
and yes, it takes long.
At least I can admit,
To others when I'm wrong.
I don't drive in circles,
at any cost.
And I don't have a problem,
admitting I'm lost.
I never forget,
an important date.
You just gotta deal with it,
I'm usually late.
I don't watch movies,
with lots of gore.
Don't need an instant replay,
to remember the score.
I won't lose my hair,
I don't get jock itch.
And just cause I'm assertive,
Don't call me a bitch.
Don't say to your friends,
Oh yeah, I can get her.
In your dreams, my dear,
I can do better
Flowers are okay,
But jewelry's best.
Would you look at my face,
Instead of my chest
I don't have a problem,
With Expressing my feeling.
I know when ur lying,
You look at the ceiling.
Don't call me a girl,
A babe or a chick.
I am a WOMAN,
Get it, you prick? (link)
Haha! I love that poem! (except I like gory movies too...^^;) Heh....wonderful!


Okay, I like this boy named Joe. We went out for a day but then we broke up because he claimed he didnt know me enough. I still like him but he doesnt like me anymore, well he is saying that atleast. and i sorta believe it because i called him, he knew it was me, and he hung up... ON PURPOSE! how can i get his attention and maybe go out with him again? (link)
Sorry, but if he says he's not interested, he's not interested. Drop him and move on. There's probably the perfect guy out there waiting for you, and the longer you spend pining after Joe, the longer it'll take to find him. :)


Well first of all...everyone of my friends are having sex now and im only in the 8th grade...i'll b in high school in a couple months and everybody will be trying to get me to have sex??...should i just try it ..like everybody else..or just tell them that im waiting for a special guy?...but the point is ..is that if im goin out with a guy i might think he is the right guy and go for it but i know we wont last long..will sumone pleez talk to me? (link)
Never have sex with someone just because "everyone else is doing it." Wait until you do meet that special guy, that you know you want to spend THE REST OF YOUR LIFE WITH. (Sorry, didn't mean to sound to dramatic there, just trying to get the point across! :))


me again , guess im still lookin 4 answers y me 1st of all. I get bullied by anyone who sees me in the streets or at school even at m opwn door step tonight they slashed my mums car tyres. The broken in to the car b4 they done this to a few houses on the street but my mums bf blames me just coz i have no friends and e thinks i fucked the kids of so bad that they doing this and the problem is with me. But how half the ppl i dont no i arnt racist , i dont blieve in voilence. I dont go out shoutin my mouth off. Im just a quite girl that doesnt ask for anything. i no this is goin to upset my mum because she's worked hard for everything she owns. i feel so unhappy i cart do anything right even an online relationship every one says ppl go though this all the time but i just wanna die and stop all this pain that i feel maybe then i will stop getting blamed (link)
No, never ever say you want to die! *shakes head* Never ever EVER! But I do feel for you, and I'm sorry your life is painful. Take up some self defense classes, like Tae Kwon Do or karate. You want to make friends, you say? Get involved in clubs, and be friendly to those who are nice to you. Is there a new person at school? Volunteer to show them around, or eat lunch with them.

Also, talk to your mom or another trusted adult about the bullying and how you feel. Trust me, it'll help.


My brother is 11 years old. He is looking for a girlfriend. I know all of you are going to say "This isn't a dating service!" But he is really looking for a sweet nice girl. Well anyway, He lives in Florida, Boca Raton. He would really apperciate if you would answer me. Please he is very despreate.

Love
Despreate man and his sister~ (link)
He's eleven, you say? Then he should'nt need a girlfriend. That's WAY too young! He's got to live life before he gets into a relationship!


There is this guy who REALLY likes me and he is REALLY cute but he acts tooo preverted. Whenever I get around him and then leave he acts all depressed. How can I tell him nicely that I dont want to go out with him? ( without hurting his feelings) (link)
Sit him down and tell him simply, "I'm sorry, I value you as a friend, but I really don't think I can go into a relationship with you." Tell him nicely, of course. Good luck! :)


DOES IT HURT TO HAVE BRAINS THE FIRST TIME IS THERE ANY PAIN FROM THINKING? (link)
Yes, it's very painful. That's why I don't do it often. -_^


Did you see where my sanity went? I need to catch it and sacrivice it to the Gods of Randomness. (link)
Gods of Randomness, oh dear......I've got a long overdue chat with them, seems I haven't been keeping track of my sanity lately either.

Hmm....could yours be underneath that neon black armadillo, next to the mustard-like tasting maramlade? Or perhaps it was eaten my electromagnetic chinchillas. They're a big nuisance, aren't they?

Ah, and if you happen to find mine, lease return it. it might be a tad rusty, since I lost my sanity awhile ago....


What is the meaning of life? (link)
If you've read "The Restaraunt at the End of the Universe," you'd find that the answer is 42.

If you haven't read it, then the answer is to simply be happy and live life to the fullest....

or eating.

The latter being my personal favorite.


Im a 15 year old guy and my flowers died and im soo depressed now....I even named them....Bob..Fred...Jim....Joe....Sue.....Lee....and my favorite flower, Garfield... WAHHH

Why go to any other advice sites? You're on the best one right now! :)

But if you insist on going to others, type in the word "advice" at http://www.google.com.


My dad recently quit his job. He didn't like the managment or something. It's been like 7 months or so and I'm worried that he won't be able to find one and we will run out of money soon. I'm also worried because my dad doesn't do anything all day while im at school. I used to come home everyday and find him sitting there wastching the TV. Thankfully he's starting to get out more and do things. Is there any way I can help him find the job he is looking for? (link)
Find out what job he would enjoy having, that get the two of you together and do some research on it! Check out newspapers and the web! If he doesn't want to, go through the classified ads in your newspaper and highlight all possible jobs he might want. See if it gets the message across.


if u r younger and hav a friend who is only few yrs old, not too much of difference but can it bond more than a friendship and become somthing more? (link)
Why not? My parents have friends who have a 20-year age difference! They both just love each other and each other's company! So go right ahead! :)


Some guy on a message board posted these, and to tell you the truth, we don't have the brain to figure them out (ecept for two which are not here). It's for his school project, one of the is not finnished, so i wouldn't blam you for saying you don't know or just a guess.

Thanks.




Longmobile
it's the world's longest car i swear
it reaches from beale street to washington square
and once you get in it
to go where youre going
you simply get out cause youre already there.

Superstitous
if u r superstitoous youll never step on cracks
when you see a ladder you will never walk beaneath it
and if u spill some salt youll throw some cross your back
and carry round a rabbits foot.... etc (too long of a poem)

HW machine
The homewrok machine o the hw maching
most perfect contraption that's ever been seen
just put in your hw then drop a dime
snap on a switch and in 10 seconds time
your hw comes out quick and clean as can be
here it is nine plus four and the answer is three
three
oh me
i guess it's not perfect
as i thougth it would be.

Er.....you don't mean he wrote these as a project, do you? Because that would be plagarism...

Al lof those poems belong to Shel Silverstein (and his publisher, probably...). He's a wonderful poet, though his poems are meant to be funny, and not deep. They're merely fun thoughts of his thrown together, and some aren't supposed to make sense! :)


Which do you think is better?

1)



The Moon

The moon whispers nightly prayers
before the sun awakes to overflow the day with light

The moon is the stars storyteller and
sings a lullaby to bring all children to a slumber

It witnesses all night activity
as a sliver of silver in the sky

The moon brings restless animals
to their hunting hour and
see all lowering their sleepy eyelids.

Ooh......bravo!! It's so hard to coose! But I like 1 a bit more. Awesome job! :)


hi really like this kid and i think he likes me but whenever i ask him out he says he likes me kinda as a grlfriend and he wont tell me yes or no (link)
Forget him. Sorry to sound so harsh, but if you've asked him repeatedly, and he STILL hasn't told you a direct answer, than it's his loss. Maybe he didn't know what to say, or was afraid of hurting your feelings. Just move on. Continue being friends with him if you want, and maybe he'll begin to see what a mistake it was to hesitate.


I know that this question is gonnaa sound a lot like Legally Bl;onde, but I think my dog (pug) is gay!!! (Help...me...) (link)
How do you know he is? Sometimes dogs like to "hump" other things/dogs/people, as a way of showing dominance.

And if he is, so what? All the more power to him! You shouldn't be worried. Just keep on lovin' him! :)


My friend told me that me an dmy boyfriend make a good couple but he never talks to me even though we just started goign out like a day ago.. But still.. Shouldnt he be talking to me, maybe he is juts shy like me.. Im really shy and I think Im gunna just talk to him (try) tomorrow anyways... but I needa know why he isnt talking to me.. !!! (link)
Hmmm...interesting. Maybe you're right. Maybe he is just shy. Or maybe he's been so busy, he just really hasn't had the time to sit down ah=nd have a nice chat. (After all, you've only been going out for a day.)

Then again, he could just be going out with you just to have a girlfriend. If he is, drop that jerk like a flaming potato!

Just try and talk to him first, like you said. Don't end the relationship yet, just wait and see what he's like. Of course, if he still doesn't talk to you and/or is being a jerk to you, definitaly tell him to shove off. Good luck!


Assuming u are in loved with a guy and you can't tell him and he do offer you on outing and you do agree but really in love ,pls what can you do because people believe girls should not woo aguy but guys should do so.

(link)
Who in the world told you that?! OF COURSE you can ask him out and things like that!! I have!

Ah, and when you finally work up the courage to tell him your true feelings, which, by the way, you really should, don't lay on the mushy-gushy lovey dove stuff too much. (Unless he's a guy who's really into that.) Save that for when you're really REALLY dating, and into this relationship. Good luck and have fun! ^_^
