Long story short, I'm from Los Angeles, went to an amazing school, left the US and moved to the Middle East. I've been backpacking around Europe and the Middle East on and off since August 2013.

Would you like to converse? Here's my Forum

Quite frankly, I'm sarcastic way more than I should be. Read a few of my answers, and you'll see that I am not totally mean to anyone.

Type correctly or go home. Yes, that is an ultimatum.

advice

I'm pregnant and due in just one month, and we still haven't agreed on a middle name for the baby. My husband and half our friends and family like Emma Lynn. I and the other half like Emma Linnora.

Linnora is a family name with a long story that has to do with a fort being attacked by native Americans and my ancestors, Linnora and her brother, being the only ones to survive.

Also, our last name is French , like Leblanc or Lecarte.

Please suggest some names OR some ideas for a way to reach a compromise and break this 6 month long deadlock.

I actually want to name my daughter Emmelynn. Maybe you could do that, and then have her middle name be Linnora.

Emmelynn Linnora. I like it. :]

I am sending in an application to MSMS(Mississippi School for Mathematics and Science), a residential high school for intellectual teens. Basically, it's a boarding school for smart people. I really want to go, and filling out the application is the first step to achieving my goal. I'm pretty good with computers, but I'm not sure exactly how to fill out the application. You see, it has to be typed upon the actual application. A copy can't be made of the page, nor can it be typed on a seperate sheet of paper. I know I could do this using a type writer, but I would much rather use a computer. Anyone know how to do this?

Open the application in Microsoft Word and type away. :]

14/f

The other day, I posted something, about my friend hurting my feelings. But, I hardly went into ANY detail. So, now that I feel a little better, I'll go into some serious detail.
-I go to a rich snobby catholic school. Which means, every girl in there, is super mean.
-Even like the loser girls, arn't even nice, no one is.
-We don't do anything in our school, like dances & junk. [ another good reason to leave. i like schools that have activities & stuff, yeah i'm weird..]
-i may hang out with the popular group in school, but i'd rather have no friends at all.
If you were at my school, you'd understand. You can't walk away from your lunch table, without worrying their talking about you.
-Their all SUPER boring. The only way they have fun, is if their picking on someone else.
-None of the guys like us, because they think were all bitches. so, therefore you can't even have crushes on guys & stuff [ they may sound like a retarded reason to switch schools.. but come on, think about it.]
-Theirs only one girl who i actually like. But, sometimes.. she even gets on my nerves, because shes kinda a slut.

So, thats my school. I got in a big fight with my 'best friend' yesterday, I was saying how I was just thinking, only THINKING about switching schools. & shes like why? & i was like.. well its not like you talk to me alot anymore & stuff. [ Yeah, sounds like a stupid reason to leave.. not. Shes one of the few real friends i have.] & she got all defensive saying no im not, oh my god! & stuff.. so then, she got one of the MEANEST girls in the grade involved. & the girl ended up screaming at me & everything. So, i ended up leaving, & i cried myself for sleep, for two hours.

Give me one good reason why I should stay at that horrible school.

I think that you should talk to the administration and get some clubs and dances going.

Meet guys, ask to get your seat moved in class to be by them. Get away from all of these shallow girls. [File a verbal assault case for the girl who screamed at you.] If guys can see that you aren't like them [but you're cool enough to be able to be], then you will have a boyfriend in no time. :]

I mailed out a box/pagae 2 weeks ago. Been tracking it and it says this. what does this mean though?

Label/Receipt Number: 0306 1070 0002 9365 5113
Status: Delivered

Your item was delivered at 7:50 AM on November 13, 2006 in BURBANK, CA 91510.

Wird because I sent it to a 91523 zip code and it says 91510.

You probably got the zip code wrong.

Yayyyy Burbank. I love it here in CA. Burbank is the besttttt.

Do guys dig chicks with glasses? I need to get glasses I think, and I'm already short, fat, and kind of ugly. Now I need glasses. Now will the boys think I am uglier than before?

Glasse add personality to people's faces. I've worn glasses since I was 4, and now I have rally cute frames that complement my face. I have a round face and really light skin, but my glasses are square and black (emo glasses). I look so different without my glasses.

Contacts are also an option.

what does "playing tonsil hockey" mean? how do you play??

It means to make out. :]

alright, so first off i'll say i'm 13/f and I'm turning 14 in about 2 weeks. My best friend's birthday is in January, last year she didn't have a birthday party because her mom said she was too old and mature for birthday partys... well, lets say that I still want to be a kid and still throw birthday partys. I just thought about some ideas that I could have for the party. Here they are-

Hollywood theme-
everyone dresses up as a celebrity, then we have a red carpet at home where each person walks down and then they have to do what the celebrity does (example- christina aguilera- that person would have to sing) and then later do a craft project, we take cement and shape it into a star, then have each person put their hand and foot prints in, and also their signature, then let it dry and then they can keep it. Pretty fun huh?

well my question is... does this idea sound too childish? and are 14 year olds still allowed to have birthday partys? I really dont want my friends to go home after this party, saying "Oh my gosh, she threw a party that 7 year olds would!" I want a party that makes my friends say "WOW! That was amazing!" but still think I'm not childish.

oh yeah, and another idea was to split everybody into teams, then tye-dye T-shirts with team names, then play night games that have teams included... then when everybody is cold, we make a bon-fire and make 'smores. Does that seem too childish to you people for a 14 year old??????

THANK YOU FOR TAKING YOUR TIME TO READ THIS... REMEMBER, MY BIRTHDAY PARTY WILL BE IN 2 WEEKS, SO I SHOULD HAVE SOME IDEAS SOON!

Bonfireeeeeee. That would be so chill. It'd be even cooler if it were coed. :]

Hi, I need to learn Hebrew in less than 6 months. Does anyone know a program or how I could become almost fluent in hebrew fast?

Please help!!

THANKS!

iTunes has a cou[ple of programs under audiobooks. Shalom!

I'm a Guy, and for some reason I'm attracted to the opposite sex. I don't think I'm gay because I would never have sex with a male, but I can't stop looking at guys. Whats wrong with me? and is this Normal?

If you're attracted to the opposite sex, you'd be attracted to women.

Yes, it's normal.

Okay right now I am 17 in high school. And I would like to become a news anchor where should I start. I mean I make the announcements for my school sometimes and it feels good doing it. I also was thinking when I do get to college that I should goto a community college and then transfer to a university do you think I should do that.

You need a major in communications or boradcast journalism. Anchors work their way up from writing and stuff most of the time, and so you need to be well qualified. If you are not a really good reader or your voice is not the clearest in all the land, you may have a problem. Potential employers won't know that you graduated from a community college because it only matters where you graduate from.

Okay I do have many skills with acting I have always wanted to goto disney,nick,cartoon network. But I am currently in Houston tx. So if I want this career will hiring a agent get me any where?

All three of those studios and most of the auditions are here in Burbank, CA. Hiring a Texas agent will be pointless because you'd spend thousands of dollars on travel. If you're serious, come out to Burbank now.

ok so im always hearing, on tv shows, "if we could afford it, i'd love to go to..bla bla bla..(name of university) and things like that, yet i often hear "all it takes is the good grades, and then there's always a fund, or a loan that will pay for university"

you know what im saying? llike if there's always a way to pay for the university of your choice, than howcome the wholeworld doesn't choose the best universities?? like ok, you'll be in dept for a while cause you have to pay back, but if you borrow ALOT and get into a awesome collage than you'll have a bigger chance of becoming something successful so you'll be able to pay back everything..am i making any sense? you know what im saying? like why is money a big issue for people who are choosing univerities or collages?

Loans have huuuge interest rates. Like if you borrow $1, you will probably pay back like $1.10 or $1.25. If you borrow $100,000 (will cover about 3 years at the most expensive universities) then you will pay back $125,000. That's a huge problem. Debt is never good, and it can ruin your credit score. Also, if your parents have poor credit and you're a minor, well, you're kind of screwed.

And, awesome college doesn't necessarily mean that you'll go further. Plus, all colleges are awesome for someone. They all have their strengths. Cal State Northridge just isn't a good medical school. Med school isn't great for music. West Point isn't really an education college.

Unfortunately, you have been misinformed. Plus, it's getting harder and harder to get into good schools. The baby boomer years are going to be in college next fall, and child birth rates keep increasing.

You'll see when you get older.

Me and my boyfriend are planning on having sex soon. Neither of us have ever done it before, so we have no idea what you are supposed to do without getting hurt. I am 13 and he is 14, do you think that it to early, even with protection?? Any advice would help.

Wow. I'm older than you, I've never had a boyfriend, and I haven't had my first kiss, or been on my first date. I don't regret it at all.

Next week, when you two break up, not only will rumors be spread around, but you will wish you had waited.

I can't wait to tell my first boyfriend (or my husband, who knows?) that he is the only guy that I have ever kissed or have had sex with or anything in between.

Abstinence is power. There will be no doubt in your mind that the time is right when the time really is right.

Please, please don't make this huuuuge mistake.

Many teenage boys want to get in your life, get in your pants, and get out.

Don't let this happen to you.

okay, its my birthday so I have alot of extra money, the thing is I really really want a good hair straightener.I have like 150$ in birthday money but I really really want to spend a maximum of 20 but I'm willing to go over a LITTLE bit if you know a quality hair straightener that heats up really quickly and is good.

Twenty-dollar straighteners are crap. I have used a couple of them, and they didn't really work.

Recently, I spent about $150 on a straightener. It heats up faster, is better for my hair, and it takes less time. I'd recommend spending all of your money on a really good straightener.

Ask the perosn who cuts your hair. They will have the best opinnion because they've worked with your hair and seen it and experienced it.

Good luckkkkk.

ALright, well i was going out wiht this girl for a while and i really like her than we broke up during the summer, then she went out with 2 other guys after me that werent really as meaningful as when we were going out. So we started highschool and now homecomings coming up in exactly a week and and now shes doesnt want to go with teh kid that asked her because he acting wierd now and stalking her and says there going out when there not. Now i really want to ask this girl and ive liked her ever since we broke up and idk what to do, she doesnt want to go with him but i dont think she wants to hurt his feelings, what can i possibly do in 7 days to get her to start thinking about me again??

Just ask her before some other guy does.

A few kids in my school are holding a car wash and i'm working. i need tips of what to wear (sexy please) kind of warm maybe.. its october. also, the kid i like will be there and i want to impress him.

Well, I have the EXACT same situation, and mine is tomorrow. Tomorrow, I'm going to wear short(ish) shorts, a cute tee with a wifebeater underneath, and flip-flops. Also, I'll most likely wear a sweatshirt in the morning (until we start. I'm going to help set up.) Good luck with this boy, and maybe start a water fight or something. Those are always fun. :)

Okay i taped yesterdays new episode of Supernatural (thursday, october 5th) and i didn't get to watch it yet. but by accident i taped over it tonight. is there any way for me to watch that new episode? like does CW play reruns of supernatural? or can i download it somewhere?

thanks so much! i'm going to die if i don't see this new episode.

I think iTunes might have it. They've had Supernatural reruns in the past.

Ok here is my questions:
1. What color shoes should I wear with a brown dress for a bat mitzvah tomorrow?
2. What color sweater to wear over it?
3. I really never wear makeup except for plays and dance recitals so should I wear it to this bat mitzvah? I'm in 7th grade and I just turned 13. If I should, what kind of makeup and what colors should I use if I have pale-ish skin, light brown hair, and blue eyes?
4. Most of all.. should I get my hair done? The service is at 10:30 am and then the party is until 6:00 pm, and the party is like 7 hours. Pleasse tell me how I should do my hair? This isn't the most formal thing like black tie, but it's not casual either. My friend said to get your hair done with half up and half down. How should I ask for the lady to do it?

I didn't even wear makeup or get my hair done for my OWN Bat-Mitzvah, let alone someone else's.

Maybe clear lip gloss and mascara would look well. Should bring out your eyes and make your smile pretty.

Wear metallic shoes.

Why a sweater?

Are there any orthodox Jews who can answer this question for me?

A neighbor built what appears to be a big plywood box a bit bigger than a car in his driveway.

It has what I think is Hebrew writing on the side.

Can anyone tell me what the heck they are doing? I don't think they want to talk about it so I am asking here. Any help?

Well, it's irrelevant as to what type of Jew needs to answer your question.

It's most likely a sukkah for the Jewish holiday Sukkot.

i want to start babysitting for money bc i need money haha but my parents said i need to take a class to learn how to do cpr and all that before i babysit. is this true?

Is it required by law? No.

Is it worth it? Yes.

Could you get paid more? Yes.

Could you save lives? Yes.
