Q: so i just bought marc by marc jacobs white skinny leg jeans and im so excited for them to be delivered but im not sure what to wear with them. im talking about shoes. i know the best thing to probably wear them with would be pumps or some kind of heel and im fine with that. i love heels but i'll also be wearing these in school and running all around the school and up and down stairs in pumps is not so practical.

also! i have a size 10 foot and flats that have absolutely no heel and skinny jeans really bring out the large-ness of my feet which i dont like.
i sort of agree with the other advice'er: slip on keds or any cute canvas shoes are really cute with skinny jeans.

something like these:
http://www.keds.com/shopping/product/detailmain.jsp?itemID=1372&itemType=PRODUCT&iMainCat=193&iSubCat=204&iProductID=1372

or just go to the keds website, they have tons to choose from.

Q: what happens if the condom breaks?
your eggo is prego.

Q: I have, after 10 months decided to get a tattoo for my best friend that passed away in october. I have decided to get a portrait of her on my back. I would like a quote or short lyrics to go underneath it instead of the dates she lived...anyone have any advice? I would like more positive and happy rather than sad. Thank you!

Q: What are some musicals that are good?

Thats a dumb question, but i mean like which ones do people suggest? =]

I saw 'Wicked' at the Apollo Theatre in London, and it was by far the best show I've ever seen. I know not everywhere is going to be as amazing as that, haha, but it's still an awesome play, regardless.

Q: I want a BB Pearl and I have T-Mobile. Can you browse the net w/ the BB Pearl 8100? Also which one is better the 8100 or the 8120? The 8120 costs more but it seems the 8100 does the same but the 8120 has a little more. Does the 8100 have a Micro SD memory slot? Thanks!
P.S. Please don't provide a website from T-Mobile. It would be nice if someone has experience or knows a lot about BB Pearls.
My sister and my boyfriend both have Pearls. They both love it. And yes, you can browse the net with the Pearl, but it gets pricey if you don't get a data plan. It also has a MicroSD slot. From what I've seen, they're really good phones and they both say it's easy to use. I don't know much about the 8120, though, so I can't really compare. Haha, but yeah, the Pearl is a great phone.

EDIT:
No, they don't have T-Mobile, they have AT&T. And they're both on family plans, which have minutes, unlimited texting, and then boyfriend has an unlimited data package thing, which lets him use the internet whereever he has service. Sorry I couldn't be more help!

Q: ive only had sex three times and i don know if i cumed or not i have no clue how will i know
if you don't know/can't tell when you do, you shouldn't even be having sex.

go ahead, tell me i'm rude/mean/whatever. at least i told the truth.

Q: I have these two plastic bags that my curtains came in that have the little plastic hooks at the top that hung on the hanger at the store. i want to recycle them to hang on my wall and use them in some type of artistic way that will match my room decor. i have this bedding, http://www.amazon.com/iRock-Bed-Bag-%252d-Twin/dp/B0012LY6I8/ref=combo_pack_i_1, my walls are the blue of the comforter, my curtains are the green, all trim is white, one wall is completely collaged in magazine cutouts, and another wall has pictures of my friends and i and some shelves with a few peices of my artwork on them. what can i do with they two bags (put stuff in them, ect., what ever you can think of) to hang on my walls that will look great and match my room?
thanks so much!
if the bag hangs flat and is a thick type plastic, i'd suggest hanging pictures in it. just randomly put them in there and glue them to the back to the back of the bag. then glue the bag so it's flat to the front of the picture. and you could place pressed flowers in it, and maybe movie stubs, tickets, other random stuff like that in there too (:

Q: what is a good chapstick that actually has a flavor? i bought some dr. pepper chapstick today and it doesn't taste like anything. :(
i also agree- lipsmackers is great.
i also got some 'double mint' chapstick at clarie's (the boutique-type store) a while back and it's pretty good. it's in the shape of a 5-stick pack of gum.

Q: What's a good cell phone service provider? I'm looking at ones like Sprint, AT&T, T-Mobile, Verizon or other major ones.

I share a T-Mobile family plan with my sister but I'm going to get my own once the contract ends, so I'll need a good service that's affordable. I wanted to get Metro PCS but the problem is that the coverage area is SO limited. It doesn't work in certain cities.

What are you experiences with these providers? Good/Bad?

Another thing, I owe a pretty big bill to my cell phone company. After my contract is up, I still owe them money, right? But the account isn't even in my name, it's in my sisters lol, so does that mean it screws with her credit?
I have AT&T and I love it. I get service almost everywhere, and I live in a small city in West Virginia, haha, if that tells you anything. I also took a trip to England and Ireland and I had service there as well.

Plus, for my family, AT&T has the cheapest plan for my family- four phones, the lowest amount of minutes, and unlimited texting.

And I have no idea about the last part, haha, sorry.

Q: I was wondering if it is worth it to buy the Pantech Duo (at&t) if I don't use internet on my phone?
yeah, i have the duo and don't have internet and i still love it. beware though- i'm on my THIRD one! the other two have had problems with the screen, so they replaced it for me. maybe i just got unlucky, but i'd go for the blackjack 2 or a blackberry curve. i do love my phone though, when it works. haha.

Q: So this upcoming fall I will be starting my senior year. In the yearbooks, every senior is allowed to put three quotes. Whatever they want. I was thinking I'd have one quote about life/life lesson/etc and then two funny quotes. Does anyone have any quotes, please don't give me sites because I can just google and I have, but can't find any good ones :/. Even if their not about life or funny quotes, can you think of any good ones?

Thanks

Q: I was in town yesterday and there was this girl and she had an amazing skirt!
it was an ordinary denim mini skirt, but she'd faded it(like with a cheese grater), had some bleach spots and on the back(on the ass)it was ripped, and there was like red material behind it(not her underwear).
Also she had those festival wristbands sewn onto the edge of the skirt (you know those fabric ones`?)
It was so cool! I want to make my own, but I don't want to copy her, cause she goes to my school, so what are some things I could do to customize my skirt? :D

Btw, I'm not a prep or anything, please don't suggest pink or flowery type things.
go to goodwill and buy a bunch of old, cute ties that match some stuff you'd wear with your skirt. patterns are fun, in my opinion.
cut the tie so that you have about 3-4 of the end left.
cut your skirt a little bit too if you don't want to to be longer :P
then sew the tie ends to the skirt (:

and, you can cut holes in the back pockets and patch them with the remaining parts of the tie, and add random patches of the tie anywhere on the skirt. (:

here's a stupid drawing i drew as an example. haha...

Q: you guys always say to get a new razor everytime.. and i have to shave every week.. and a new razor every week would get pricey! i want to use nair down there but it might burn so.. what should i do
just make sure you shave first in the direction of the hair, then against it. and i also use conditioner instead of shave gel, it keeps it smoother and i don't get razor burn or anything after i shave.

Q: So me and my boyfriend will have been together for about two years when his 18th birthday rolls around (beginning of October), and I have no idea what to get/do for him. Last year I had a pretty nice paying summer job, so I was able to buy him an xbox 360 with a game. This year Ive got another decently paying job, so money really isnt an issue. I just want to do/get something special because its his 18th you know?

Any ideas?
you could get him an ipod touch or some sort of ipod, and get it engraved on the back. on the apple website, engraving and shipping is free.

Q: Hey guys. I'll be turning 16 on the 29th and I was planning on having a party with about 17 or 18 people, both boys and girls (5 guys, 12 girls or something like that). I don't live in a neighborhood, my house is pretty secluded, and I don't have a pool. So I was wondering if anyone had some good ideas as to what we could do. We can always watch a movie, but I feel like that might be too boring to do the entire time. Thanks to any suggestions!
if you can, maybe have your dad or someone help you set up a campfire area outside and you all can make smores and/or roast hot dogs and stuff. that takes up a lot of time (:

and if it's warm and if you have a nice, flat place near your house, go get a slip n' slide. people love them!

Q: In my school we have this tradition ot sign each others shirts when we gradute, so I need a good one sentence´(REALLY SHORT, PLEASE) that I can sign on pretty much anyones shirt (ill probably go with an inside joke when it come sto my close friends, but I need something I can write to the rest..)


Any ideas? Thank you!
"Looking forward to looking back."

It's my class' motto, since we just graduated a week ago (:

Q: hello. so i have around 200 dollars from graduation that i would like to spend, plus i could get a couple hundred more by trading some of the gifts i got. i don't know what to get myself!! i just graduated from high school.. i'm a girl. i live in austin, tx. and i'm going to UT next year. i already have a digital camera and i'm planning on getting a laptop. any ideas on what to get?
if you want to get something big/nice for yourself, i'd get an ipod touch. it has wireless internet so when your in class (assuming UT has wireless in most spots on campus like most colleges do), you can access the internet, record speeches, and take notes on the ipod.

other than that, i'd definitely save it. that's why i'm doing with mine and i'm in the sam situation (:

Q: I absolutely love the clothes and styles at Victoria's Secret.com but i also cant afford to shop there all the time. so does anyone know of some different stores that sell the same type of clothes at cheaper prices. One of my favorites is wet seal but besides that, i have no idea. Also does anyone know of a store that sells cute dresses like the Victoria's Secret ones. (oh and i already know of Hollister and American Eagle, etc so besides those)
Thanks =)
wet seal has 984753745620375 dresses for about $15.

Q: 13/f


my graduation from 8th grade is coming up and so is my birthday. I have a good cellphone camera and ipod. i cant think of anything I might want . not clothes money or gift cards. whats some cool stuff out now? any ideas are appreciated. thanks.
how about a wii?

yeah, sounds lame. but i just graduated high school and everyone LOVES coming to my house to play the wii, even though we're 17/18 years old. we have the wii sports, guitar hero, and the new mario kart, and we have all kinds of mini-tournaments and get everyone to bring their controlers so 4 people can play at a time. it's fun for sleepovers with your friends and after dances for school and stuff.

if you don't want one of those, i'd definitely agree with the other reply-er: ask for a laptop. they are super handy and i love mine (i have a pink dell inspiron 1525). you can get a new one from around 600/700, or even shop ebay for a nice used one (my sister did and hers works like new).

hope i helped (:

Q: so today at my school vvas senior skip day.. and my boyfriend stayed home. im only a freshman so i vvent to school.. i called him after school and he told me he vvas planning on going camping tonight vvith his vvhole senior class. this vvorries me because i knovv hovv he gets vvhen he is drunk & there vvill be alot of drunk girls there.. & its about an hour avvay from vvhere vve live. im not so sure if i can trust him yet.. i dont vvant to tell him that he cant go but i also dont vvant him to go.. vvhatttt shoulld i do? anythinggg vvoullddd be helpful =]]
thank youuu.
having just graduated myself, no matterwhat you say to him, he'll probably still go. you'll just have to trust him. seniors don't like when younger grades interfere with their plans-- believe me. my class did almost the same thing that his class is, and juniors from another school tried to crash our party.. and let's just say their car was pretty f'ed up and they didn't want to crash our party anymore. haha.

and by the way, please stop making your w's with two v's.. it's really annoying to read.

hiii! i'm caroline. i'm eighteen years old, and just started my freshman year of college. i have a magificent boyfriend who i love more than anything. we've been together over three years. he's also my best friend. speaking of which, my other best friends are also pretty fantastic. another huge part of my heart is devoted to god. he's blessed me with so much more than i deserve, and even though i fall short on a daily basis, he's still there for me, every step of the way. i'm a pretty simple girl- i love anything fun, texting, being outdoors, swimming, playing soccer, frisbee, or watching football, spending time with my family, and most of all- living my life to the absolute fullest.

to be frank, i'm not going to answer your questions about girl drama or pregnancy, because i have no experience in either of those categories, nor do i want to listen to you whine about how "we didn't use a condom" or "she's such a &*^#%!!!!". however, i'm totally open to anything else. drop something in my inbox and i'll get to it pretty quick- i'm quite the net nerd (:
