ask mackenzie





I did not write the book of love,
and I do not claim to be full of wisdom.

I sure do make mistakes,
but I live and learn!

I try to let no one come to me,
without leaving happier. [:



"Exert your talents,
and distinguish yourself.
Don't even think about
retiring from the World,
until the World will be
sorry that you retire!"

♥[?]♥ If you have a myspace, can you read who's viewed it?
Not yet. Rumor has it a code is going around for that is in the works, but to the extent of my knowledge it has yet to be released.

♥[?]♥ any one know any good sites that i can upload music to host it?
The only two I know of are http://briefcase.yahoo.com and http://www.ripway.com , and they always works fine for me. (:

♥[?]♥ hey :]

ive noticed something on AIM and i just wanted to see if anyone noticed it as well, or agreed...? I had my aim profile minimized and every once in a while it kept popping up again. I didnt touch it once or view my info again. I had this theory that when my profile popped up when minimized it meant that someone was looking at my pro. I just wanted to see if anyone agreed or had their own opinion? thanks in advance :] Ill rate
It's really more of a reminder that you never X'ed it out, is all. (:

♥[?]♥ what exactly is a BMI?
BMI stands for Body Mass Index. It's just a percentage of how much of your body mass is pure fat. You can learn more about it at: http://www.am-i-fat.com

♥[?]♥ are there any image manipulating programs out there for FREE (not trials!) that i could download? something like photoshop or something..? anything like that?! haha thanks.
Well as far as changing lighting aspects, I know Image Zone is completely free (and not a trial). I've had Image Zone for months now. You can download this at:

And Picasa might not be a trial version, but I'm honestly not sure. You can download that at:

♥[?]♥ ok so i (16/f) really like this guy that i work with and we get along soo well!! we spent all day together at work after school and every second we spent talking and laughing about random stuff!! anyways he's kinda shy and i dont really know how he feels about me so should i make the first move? im kinda shy when it comes to guys so if anyone gives me some good flirting tips or ways to let him know that i like him i'll give 5s!
What if he's sitting back thinking the same wonderful things about you that you are him? How far could your relationship possibly progress if you're both awaiting the other to make the first move? You'll never get anywhere if things continue on like that. If he's available, I would definitely give it a whirl.


Have you tried searching the internet for websites to assist this? There really is an over abundance of information and encouragement that awaits on Google. I've looked online for you, and came up with a couple websites that should keep you entertained:

♥[?]♥ Is breaking up over the phone okay? Or should I make an effort to do it in person?
Breaking up on the phone is better than simply never talking to them ever again - that really bites. If you ask me, breaking up over the phone just seems so lazy and impersonal. If you discuss the issues in person you two might be able to come to some sort of mutual agreement, thus making things better than ever before. However, if breaking up is completely what you want, then how much effort is it really going to take to look that person in the eye and saying it? I think it's just a major respect issue. If you've taken a liking to someone deeply enough to set up a relationship, then I feel the respect you had all the while should be carried through 100%, ya know? =/

♥[?]♥ What does it mean "to make woopie"

I was reading a poem my mom wrote after her baby shower. Is this some old expression about sex?
It's less common these days, I suppose. I gather it was big during the filming of the game show "Newlyweds", since the term would come upon 10 times per show. And that was filmed between the mid 1960's to 1990's, I do believe?

♥[?]♥ i always always ALWAYSS get pit stains. and it stinks because it shows through no matter what color i wear. i even tried speed stick antipersperant idk i still got pit stains. i hate raising my hand and stuff bc i know i have them. any suggestion howi can get rid of them or conceal them?
This was once a big problem for me also, so I know how you feel; I've been there, and it's not good. I reccommend using an antiperspirant deodorant [such as Suave], followed by regular baby powder. The antiperspirant helps to reduce sweating, or at least is said to, but in our case... never does. Then the baby powder will close the pores of your under arm -- more or less trapping the sweat in, so to speak. Honestly, this almost ALWAYS works for me, but there *ARE* days when it's simply not good enough, and that can be a pain in the butt, so I usually make a point of carrying some sort of jacket. Hearing that, there's this product people are always talking about on this site [but I believe that's from "Monkey See, Monkey Do"], but it's even advertised on television. It's called CertainDri. Now, they say it can be purchased at Wal-greens, RiteAid, CVS, and Walmart, however, EVERY SINGLE TIME I've been to the store looking for it, I've never seen it on the shelves. Naturally, this leads me to ask an employee where I can find it, and they *always* tell me they've NEVER heard of it, and they do not carry the product... which just leaves you speechless and with a feeling of, 'what now?' If the problem persists, perhaps you should consult a physician, who can supply you with proper medication. Also, he can give you shots that kind of close up your pores, so sweating never really happens again. I'm not shore if that's an option for you, but I recommend asking him for more information. But whatever you decide to do, goodluck from someone who knows EXACTLY what you're going through!!

♥[?]♥ would it be cheating if I thought that one girl {other than my girlfriend} looked realy sexy? Also, would I be cheating if I masturbate?
Masturbation is not cheating, because it's not being done with another individual; only yourself, and that is perfectly fine. And really, a good hand full of people have had an attraction towards someone outside of their relationship (whether that be a single quick glance or something long lasting) while currently commited. It's not a crime, however, it's not something that I suggest mentioning to your significant other.

♥[?]♥ Theres a girl at my school i think may have an eating disorder of some kind. Within the last few days she seems to have lost A LOT of weight. She used to be fairly skinny, but now shes like tiny. And this may sound a little odd, but she did have some, i guess you'd say definition, to her body, and now its all like flat. I'm not friends with her, actually, I don't really talk to her, but it concerns me a little. It could be something else, i know, but i was wondering if i should say something to someone about it, or just mind my own business and let her take care of herself.
I would stay completely out of it, personally. If it truly is an eating disorder then her struggle needs to be her own. Sure, someone is bound to interfere at some point in time, and when that happens she'll probably grow bitter and hateful. Eating disorders are a very personal problem, and she needs to correct them for herself, not for any order she's given to follow. That's just my opinion, anyhow. Playing with an eating disorder is like playing a fire - just keep out. =/ And if you're not even close to this girl and have noticed, I'm sure her family will be catching on pretty quickly.

♥[?]♥ How do you shut down an xanga site? I kno you cant delete it, but how do i shut it down?
http://edit.xanga.com/signin.aspx?ReturnUrl=%2fshutdownquiz.aspx


They're going to give you a quiz that will take about 3 minutes or so. They'll tell you basically that once it's down it's down for good. It's kind of annoying, but I feel it's a good idea because it gives you time to think your actions through.

♥[?]♥ When are you able to know the sex of your baby?
I didn't know the answer to this personally, so I looked it up online.


"Sex determination of the fetus can be done accurately by 15 weeks by expert ultrasound at our office in most cases, and as early as 14 weeks in some cases. This can sometimes be helpful in ruling in or out some diseases that are sex-linked. The sex of the fetus is also accurately determined if a patient undergoes a CVS at 10-11 weeks or an amniocentesis at 15-16 weeks"

What do each of these column settings refer to on your column? I mean, which section? Like, if you put a color in, where will it go?
It's just like it sounds. The SIDEBAR is the place on the right or the left (depending on your chosen layout) that houses the section of how many views you've had, how many questions you've answered, your location, your age, your screen name and so on. So that place is the SIDEBAR.


Sidebar background color: -- whatever color you want the background for the sidebar to be.

Sidebar background image (URL): -- or if you'd rather have an image, place the URL here.

Sidebar text: -- color of the text ONLY within the sidebar.

Sidebar links: color of the links ONLY within the sidebar.


And for the "PAGE" part.. it's the same as the "SIDEBAR", only for the rest of the page (which is where your info is, and where the questions and answers are, ya know?

♥[?]♥ okay im 13 and i lost my virinity the other night and he didnt use a condom and neither of us came and it was pretty quick...do you there is a possibilty i can get pregnant??
When the consequences have the possibility to be extremely severe, don't take a child's word on this. Just because he claims he didn't ejaculate does not make it so. Not to insult you, but if he was foolish enough to go along with the entire act without the use of protection, then I wouldn't be surprised if he's wrong about the grand finish. Also, precum shares the possibility of pregnancy, as well (if ya didn't know).

♥[?]♥ Is it gross or weird for a girl with very dark and coarse hair to shave her arms?
Surprisingly enough, more people than you'd assume shave their arms. I suppose I can see how you'd feel insecure about this, but it's all an unfortunate normalcy of life. If you truly feel like this is what you want to do, then I suggest very lightly dragging a disposable razor over your arm. This will lighten the hair, and providing you don't go crazy, no one will be able to tell.

♥[?]♥ is 16 years old too old for a 14 year old?
because i don't think its a problem and it never ever seemed like a problem until one of my friends brought it up. hes totally cool with it. and he doesn't like force me to do anything. its nice. but is he really too old?
I don't see 14 and 16 as an undefeatable gap. If you like this guy, give it a chance. If you see a good opportunity, why would you deny it? Marriage obviously isn't something you're ready for, so spend your teen years having fun and learning from them.

♥[?]♥ well all my friends think i hooked up with a kid. i really didnt. when i finally do [ which will probally be soon ] i dont want him to think im a bad kisser or that i never kissed anyone before. what do i do . how do i act? i dont want to look stupid i want to be a good kisser .. any advise?
Well, it's difficult to tell you how to kiss. I'm sorry to provide such an average reply, but it usually "comes naturally". At any rate, I've found a few websites that think they are capable of supplying some great tips:

♥[?]♥ douche what does this mean?
i heard it before but don't know what it means.
thnx!♥
"A Douche (French for 'shower') in American English generally describes a stream of water or a device used to introduce a stream of water into the vagina for medical and/or sanitary reasons."

Though the term "douche" has become a popular insult, mostly among 13 year old boys..
