I will give you my description first I am a small girl, I have a heart shape face sort of like the shape of Halles Berry's I have a small head, I have a caramel complexion my eyes are sort of small but nay way I want to get a afro. And, I don't know how it will look and how people will react to it I would like to know what you t hink about afros as women how do you think they look, and males I would like to know if you find them atrractive or at least decent looking. I would like all opinions and all view on it, I'm on the fence right now. (link)
Afro is stylish for sure. Unless we have seen u we cant know if you d be attractive lol!!!


Me and my boyfriend are REALLY close. We've been going out for about 2 years. He calls me everyday after school. I go to his house/he comes to mine like 3 times a week. On the weekends, he calls me at 10:00 EXACTLY to tell me good morning. Don't get me wrong, I love him to death! But.. it's kind of getting old.. I've been talking to other guys, and I think I might want to take a break from this boy. Should I stay or take a break? (link)
Should you stay or take a break?
Ask him!lol!


I am 20/male in college. I am really shy, and there's this girl in class that I want to talk to. The class is a psychology class and after doing personality tests, we found out that she was the shyest person in class (I thought for sure it would be me). Anyway, I dont know how to approach her or what to say to her. And I'd rather not use the results of the personality test as a conversation topic to start out. What should I do and say? (link)
Sent her notes with the excuse that u are doing it because SHE is shy, and you dont wanna freak her out, not because u r,lol!


This is long. Bear with me.

I'm a 14 year old boy in ninth grade.
There's a girl. I'll call her Jean. I've known Jean since the end of sixth grade, and over the years a mild "she's pretty" crush grew to what I at that point thought was genuine love. In eighth grade, Jean and I became very good friends. I was, and remain, attracted to her independence, creativity, deepness, and beauty. My major flaw would be that around her I've always had the tendency to grow quiet, becoming sort of a background lurker when her friends are around. I don't think that comes off very well -_- But anyway, back to the story.

In seventh grade we were writing a song together for our chorus, and I would often call her and talk to her online. I spent most of the day at her house once. My affections were also heightened by the fact that we were in the same musical, and the emotional level we were reduced to by the last few weeks (very, very stressful) eased things along. In those weeks of stress and difficulty, we were there for one another, and by then I felt that I was truly in love with her. Mind you, this whole time I had been a rather whiny bitch over my MySpace blog: "Oh, I'm in love with a girl but she doesn't know I love her." "Oh, being in love is so hard". Mind you, she was well aware it was her.

At the very end of the musical, one of Jean's friends (who I later found out was sent by Jean) asked me whether I liked Jean or not in private. I, being naturally paranoid and defensive, said no. This probably goes on my list for the top five mistakes I've made in my entire life, as this information was relayed back to Jean. She soon lost interest, and my guardedness and inaction proved to be my downfall. After that, everything turned sour. My feelings for her, barely changed, but she grew to find me more of an annoying background character than a friend or anything more. This hurt me deeply, and I froze myself up inside.

Luckily enough, I met a wonderful girl at camp. I'll call her Lindsay. By the end of the summer, I had nearly forgotten Jean and I was dating Lindsay. Lindsay lived 90 minutes away from me, but we talked on the phone for two hours a night and saw each other every other weekend. Things were going pretty well.

Meanwhile, the school year began and I started at my new high school. Jean was not in any of my classes (I was unsure as to whether this was good or bad), and every time I saw her there was a tremendous awkwardness between us. I could tell she no longer flat out disliked me, but how could we possibly converse as normal when she had read all of those MySpace blogs? I began to hang out with the losers and emos, while she hung out with her regular theatre crowd. But time passed...

As things between us became very, very slowly less awkward (the occasional nod or hello), I began to move away from the emos and toward the theatre crowd. I felt that the theatre crowd was where I belonged, regardless of whether Jean's being in it would make things awkward. All this time, I talked to Lindsay every night, and rarely mentioned Jean. Our relationship began to wane over time. Finally, I felt fully integrated into the theatre crowd. Although I still had my "annoying lurker" persona when around Jean, we made a lot of progress. It was soon that I realized that I had rekindled my old feelings for her.

Regardless of circumstances, I could no longer hold back my old emotions. Her beauty is captivating and almost hypnotic, and all the characteristics that I was attracted to shine bright once again. Not to fall into old patterns, but my feelings for her are and were some of the most painful in my life. Imagine standing there as an observer, standing behind a wall of ice... I think of it as one of the worst pains in existence.

Now, what happened recently was a naked picture of Jean was discovered. A junior who I am going to call Wanker traded iPods with Jean's ex-boyfriend, and proceeded to start showing people the picture. I specifically requested not to see the picture (yaaay code of honor!), and made him promise not to show it to anybody else. It was apparently sent to a couple other people... With Jean's understanding and support, I devoted the past two days (Tuesday and Wednesday) to tracking down each address the picture was sent to and then wiping it from their hard drives. I'm a bit of a techie in that sense :P

All the while, I felt bad because of my relationship with Lindsay... But I know that we will be over in the near future. We have been going for five months, and our relationship has simply run its course. It's only a matter of time now. In any event, today, Jean was called to the office. She was pulled out of last period gym, and I waited for her until the school day was over. She got out, teary-eyed, and told me she'd talk to me later. I wanted to hug her so badly... But the VP was right there.

I got on the bus to go home, and the busses began to leave. Standing there, I ultimately decided "fuck this". Tired of being the lurking bystander, I got off the bus and waited an hour and ten minutes with a couple of her friends until she got out. When she did, she was crying, and I held her. I had pretty much been needing and wanting to do that since eighth grade. It felt really good. I finally saw her off to her car... I know she appreciates what I've done for her, but I really don't know other wise. Then again, maybe I do know but don't really want to admit that she has no feelings left for me.

Long story short, the school isn't doing anything and everything is Wanker's fault. After I had him promise not to show anybody, he showed the pictures to his entire bus. But that's not really important.

My point is, my relationship with Jean is so ridiculously strained and complex, I'm wondering what I should do. Is there any hope for me/us at all? If it's any help, here's one of my old questions that tells a lot about me, my stance on things, and my life:

Thank you for reading this far. If you did, you totally deserve a cookie :) (link)
I read all of this.. where's my cookie? lol.. soo.. ok here I go: Lindsay, she might be nice and all, but you're in 9th grade (I am too, so don't be scared that some 40 year old creep is giving you advice) anyway, so you're in 9th grade, you need to go on dates, and you apparently can't date this girl since she lives 90 miles away. I say break up with her, but you could still talk to her. Jean, ya'll should be together. I mean really. It was REALLY sweet of you to go hold her like that. Keep doing things like that and she'll like you again. She was obviously interested before, since she got her friends to go ask you. If she liked you once, she'll like you again. Don't be totally crazy and outgoing, but open up a little. Be sensitive and sweet but, you know. Just DON'T GIVE UP, you will really regret it! This boy that did that, he's UGH.. something's wrong with him. But atleast it gave you a chance to possibly get Jean back, lol! Well, I don't really have anything else to say, just stay strong and yeah!

you could put up your hair in pig tails to make ur hair look like ears and like get a white t-shirt and paint a monopoly board on it that might be a little hard if you don't have time for that you couldjust wear a brown shirt (or whatever color ur hair is so it will match your "ears")


Hey.

I know this is pretty basic, but on iTunes, how do you make it so it only downloads checked songs to your iPod? I had it like that before, but something got reset, and I forgot to do it :/

Thanks in advance! (link)
once you plug in your ipod, click on the picture of it and somewhere on the page it opens it says "Only Sync Checked Songs" if you check that box it will only download the ones u check.


What does it mean when someone uses the phrase "This is boreing, but the bottom line is it's important." What does "bottom line" mean? (link)
the bottom line means like the most important thing like if someone is talking then they start going on and on and on about something then they say the bottom line is......... it means that that was the most important part of it.

tonight i smoked pot, it wasnt for the first time, and it wasnt close to it. but i got it from a new person. i knew him so i didnt care. when my friend was breaking it up she noticed there was little bits of white things.i said who cares. and we smoked it. i had about 10 - 13 hits. usally i have more, but i didnt want to. 15 mins that, i was really high. i never been that high before. i was tingaling inside. when i blicked it was like talking a picutre, it flashed. then i started moving very slowly. does any one have any idea what was happening to me? was there any thing in the weeD? (link)
U r ruinin your life lol!


alright. i've been told that i'm pretty by guys and i do have a good personality, but the thing is; i haven't had a boyfriend since 7th grade. which was 2 years ago. what's wrong with me? i don't want to throw myself at a guy because that would freak him out. i'm just worried about being jealous of couples holding hands and being all lovey for the rest of highschool. should i just wait it out & see what happens?
(which will be nothing at the rate i'm going:p) (link)
Well to tell you the truth sometimes people are being polite. And to destract you from one thing they empasize on a good part of yourself.
For instance when you ask somebody "is your girlfriend hot?" n he replies like "she is a really good girl" then yo know his girl is butt ugly lolz! Because he didn t answer in the first place.
When I turn down boys I always start like this, "you are a good boy n a good friend of mine but...". Yo understand what I am saying?
Dont worry u r still young n not many people at that age have a relatioship. Just be the best you can be!
I am not saying you are ugly roflmaozzz! I am saying you are young.
