HEY EVERYONE, I'M KAT!
and i'm here to help :)
i love to give advice, and i've been told that i give some good advice, aswell.
i'm very dedicated once i get involved in someone's problems, and i'll probably make sure you're okay, and that my answer has been sufficent.
i don't 'sugarcoat' my answers, as just about every columnist on this site complains about, but i do present everything in a way that people will be able to handle, and relate to in their situation.
i could honestly care less about ratings, i just wanna help some people out. in my problems, current and past, i seek help through my friends, who i adore.
i'm a huge my chemical romance fan, and i know pretty much everything about them; so if you have a question on them, i'm here. go for it. ;)
i'm unique in my own way, so ask me for something, and i'll give you a fairly different answer.
XOXO
KAT!

k well like if i start to run everyday for like 30 minutes, will like my legs get all muscular,
because someone told me running turns the fat into muscle, or does it burn the fat off then start tog gain muscle, cos i dnt wanna be more muscular so could i like stop after i lose the fat?
&like would running help your whole body. (link)
|
Usually, running just tones your body up. You most likely will lose fat, which will expose the muscle beneath the fat.
And yep, running helps your whole body.
To keep yourself entertained when you're running, try running with friends or a sibling. Or, you could bring a walkman/ipod, ect, and give yourself a certain amount of songs to reach. Then give yourself a reward at the end of the week for stickign to it or something.

There was this movie from a long time ago(I think it might have been a series of movies) that I loved and I wanted to rent for my little cousin. I can't remember what they were called, but here's what I remember:
It was a cartoon, and there were these little kids, a brother and a sister. And there was this tree; I think it was in Central Park. They went into the tree, where there was a whole other world. It was inhabited by some sort of creature; gnomes or something. And there was an evil gnome queen. Also, I think it was kind of musical.
If anyone knows what movie this is it would be great. (link)
|
Aww, I used to watch that movie ALL the time!
It's "A Troll in Central Park."
:)

me and my girlfriend are really close an everything but recently she tearned all despressed and wont talk. and shes very quiet now which is weird since shes usualy really extremely loud. she doesnt want to do anything with me anymore and stuff like that. shes really tight with my best friend. and he told me that she told him that some fifty year old raped her.why would she tell him and not me. what should i do? (link)
|
It's definitely not that the dosen't trust you. It's because she's probably very uncomfortable about that, especially to talk about with her boyfriend.
Let her know your friend told you, or ask his friend to ask her if it's okay if he tells you. Then, make sure you talk it over. She will be emotional for quite some time, that's the normal response, and make sure you're there for her. That's a traumatic experience, so don't shy away because she cries or something..

I'm 14/M there is this smokin hot girl on my soccer team. I'm the golie for my team. I'm pretty shure she likes me too. How do I flirt with her in practise? She is dating another guy, not going out with him but dating. How do I flirt with her, and in the proses get her to like me? (link)
|
Well, things that I would think were cute would be..
Standing next to her alott.
Singing songs or something with her. Really dumb ones.
Make fun of random stuff with her.
Make faces with her from across the field.
Do stupid tricks with the ball.
On water breaks, squirt water at her, not on her clothes, but you get it..
Good luck.
XOXO

I need your help deciding what the ideal menu for a public dinner would be.
Not knowing what would be the best dishes to serve is making this an impossible task.
If you will tell me your favorite foods, or point me to your favorite recipes, it would really help a lot.
You can list as many things as you like. They don't have to be fancy things at all. I am all about the comfort food baby! :)
This will be a mixed group of people so I would like to have something for everyone.
Cooking for a banquet is not as hard as trying to figure out WHAT to cook!
Everyone will receive feedback.
Thank you!
P.S. If all that was a lot to digest, pun intended, here is a summary: Please list all your favorite foods. (link)
|
Eh, these are probably really common.. BUUUUT..
Ramen Noodle!
Ice Creams, Moose tracks are the best.
Everyone likes ice cream cake.
Veggie Trays would be good snacks..
Cookies.
Hot dogs.
Pizza.
Spaghetti.
Mashed Potatos
Scalloped Potatos
Corn Dogs.
Garlic Bread.
Soup!
Yea, and most people are very snack oriented.. :p

What is more accurate? The way you see yourself in the mirror or a picture? When I look in the mirror or see myself in a video, I look a lot different than I do in a regular picture. Why is it like that? Any ideas? Thanks! (link)
|
I think it's more accurate to see yourself in the mirror. Just know it all depends which room you're in, because the lighting could be different in other rooms, lol. They're all different, because cameras have different things to look clearer, so some of them have to change the lighting and all that.
Hope this has helped at all!

i'm looking at movies then a dinner...
Can someone give me and example like throughout a whole date i'm about to go on my first date yeah im 12...so..yeah.
Like you see the girl outside the movies and you greet her what do you say? you go in, when your in the movies i cant think of anything to say....in there when the movies start itll be okay then in dinner what are some questions you ask and how do you make them flow and not make them seem awkward or random (link)
|
Hey!
Do NOT sweat it. She's just as nervous as you are, so the worst thing to do is for both of you to just be scared.
When you first see her, do something funny. Make a face or tell her how pretty she looks or something like that. Maybe hug her, if you two are that close, yet.
In the movies: Warning, most people get really nervous here, so HAVE FUN. Don't worry about being all romantic, it's your first date. Throw popcorn at her, mess around about the movie, just play around. If you want, hold her hand.
Then, at dinner, once again.. concentrate on having fun. If you just mess around, conversation will flow naturally. What I think would be cute would be to write something on a napkin and pass it to her wne she's not looking. Say something like "are you having fun?" on it or "what's up". Make faces at her when you think sh'es not looking.
Joke around alot, that's basically my philosophy. :P

I read a question about some girl drinking her boyfriend's pubic hair- and it totally grossed me out. Do people actually do that? (link)

I read that question, too.. and I was totally grossed out by it, lol. As far as I know, most normal people don't do that..

I'm going to Six Flags in a few days with my friends. I'm usually not the type to ride roller coasters, but now i really want to ride some. The problem is, I don't know if i have motion sickness and I'm scared I might get sick. I've gotten sick on rides before, but that was because they were rides like the tea cups in disney world/land. My question is...what do I do if I do start to feel sick on a ride? Is there anything i can do to even prevent from possibly getting sick at all, like taking a medication? And last, if you're nauseated, what are some tips about how to feel better? (link)
|
I've got this problem, too. It really sucks, but here's what I do:
Dramamine (pronounced like that, sold pretty much in any convenience store and places like Walmart/Kmart,ect) really works. Warning, if you're not moving around alot, though, you'll get tired. But it really does work, I take it on the way to Cheering competitions and stuff. :)
Also, make sure you eat before this, not RIGHT before, have enough time for the food to digest, because if you DO get sick, it wont hurt as much. Also, drink alottt of water before you go on the ride.
Salty foods help sometimes. :)
Hope this has helped at all!

what are some good qualities people look for in a cheerleader? is their a good weight for it? is it required to be able to do flips and such...cause i cant do flips, not even a cart wheel, or splits...should i not go out for it cause i cant do flips and such? (link)
|
I've been cheering for five years, and I guess I've got some experience, so here ya go..
Usually, it dosen't depend on weight. It just changes what stunt position you have.
Backspot-Taller or heavier girls.
Base-Stronger girls
Flyer-Light and usually small.
Some teams don't base it all on gymnastics, but you may have more of a chance if you learn some.
And I don't know how to do ao split, so yea.. I doubt they worry about that, too much.
YOu should definitely try, whether you think you can make it or not! You never know!!
Smile Sparkle Shinee!

i havent been able to eat how i normaally do for the past 2 days. like i havent been hungry. when i have been hungry, i see the food my stomach starts to hurt. help? (link)
|
I'm not exactly sure why this was caused, but it sounds like your stomach is shrinking for some reason. As much as it may hurt, you need to eat small amounts of food all throughout the day if you can, so your stomach will expand a little, so you'll be able to eat normally again.
Just please make sure you actually eat, you definitely don't want an IV hooked up to your arm for nutrition.

whenever i where like.. tight shirts or sweaters i always tend to sweat
i know its normal but its embarrassing
is there any deorderant (sp?) that is good to prevent it
especially with summer almost here
i dont want to rely on sweatshirts and big tshirts the rest of my life... (link)
|
Alright, so most people have this problem. The shirts you're wearing are probably cotton, too. I'd just work on wearing a little more deoderant than usual to start. If that dosen't seem to work, try to use Certain-Dry. I've heard that's good for excess sweating.
I'd also say to try to wear less cotton, or a cami top underneath, so your skin's not exposed to the material that makes you sweat more.
I really hope this has helped at all!

my boyfriend ((my first)) just asked me to go to the movies with him. first date. i didnt answer yet because i think hes gonna "make a move" and kiss me, but im not ready for that at all. we just stareted going out on a few days ago. i want to blow it off. i dont want to tell him that im not ready to kiss him or anythingg. what do i do! i need an answer quick! (link)
|
Alright, so what I'd do in your situation, is to tell him your parents aren't going to let you go alone with him, so try to bring a group of friends along with you. That will make it harder for him to 'make a move.' You could also count it as double dating, and if you think he's going to try anything, and you really really don't want to go through with it, just start talking to your friend.
If you're REALLY nervous and totally against it, talk to him about it. He should respect that you don't want to kiss on the first date or anything.
Hope this has helped some..

okay... so i cant tell if im pregnant or not.. im afraid to go take a test so im just wondering what are some signs of beign pregnant.. i havent had sex.. but me and my boyfriend did other stuff and i cant remember if we were as careful as we should have been.. like if he touched himself and then he touched me ... could i really get pregnant like that? i havent gotten my perid yet but i am very athletic.. i feel fatter and look rounder.. but that could just be my mind.. i dont know...
im really stressing out..
please help....
if you need more info askk me please... (link)
|
I'm almost one hundred percent sure you're not. You could probably get pregnant like that, but if you were, you wouldn't get 'round' for a few months. Three, at least. And by then, you'd have things like morning sickness, many hormones (sandess, anger, that kinda stuff).
It may just be in your mind since you think there's the possibility you may be pregnant. Really, if you go like.. another month and still think there's a problem, take the test.
Hope I've helped!

I love these songs:
sick or sane-senses fail
act appalled-circa survive
control freak-copeland
what i've done-linkin park
so can someone name more good punk,rock,emo,screamo bands like this that arent like, common?
thanks. (link)
|
I don't know if you'd consider My Chemical Romance common or not, but I definitely reccomend them. They're my favorite band. =). If you don't like their new stuff, try to listen to their older albums (they didn't just come out, like everyone else thinks). Revenge and 'I Brought you my Love, you Brought me Bullets'.
Some other bands I think are good would be
Sum41
Three Day's Grace
Queens of the Stone Age
Rise Against
The Pink Spiders
ACDC
KISS!
McFly
Korn
AvengeSevenfold
Hope this has helped at all! Good luck looking for music!

okay... so i've had some pretty bad things happen to my family that i really strongly belive are my fault... because of that i hide my emotions and don't ever cry infront of people. so i'm friends with a bunch of people and about half of them are girls... well sometimes they get emotional for (what i think) no good reson... like they're grounded, they're big brother's moving out of the house (not even out of the city), they just had "a bad night" and now they're thinking or talking about cutting. well, from reading this you might be able to guess that i just can't simpathize with them or feel sorry for them, and i get down right pissed when they talk about cutting like it's a braging right or something (i used to cut). so my question is do i really have the right to tell them that they're crying over nothing? am i over reacting? what can i do to not get so pissed off? (link)

Hey,
Okay, so I totally understand where you're coming from; how you feel like you SHOULD be sympathetic, but how there's definitely a reason you shouldn't be.
Just think about it this way, everyone handles things in their own way. However small a problem, it's probably still a problem in their opinion.
There's also the aspect that cutting is turning into a thing where people want attention.
Try to talk to your friends, and tell them that it's really not a good idea to do that to themselves over these problems, and if they'd looko at their issues from another perspective, they wouldn't seem so bad.
If you talk everything over at once, you and your friend will be able to get over everything. (Thier problems, and themselves). Make sure you get all of the issues out of the way, though. There's no use going through a big confrontation, and leaving things unsaid.
Hope this helps at all.
XOXO

there is a game that people play on the computer at my school all the time, and you like draw a line for this little guy to skateboard or snowboard or whatever off of it. and it looks really fun. whats the name of the game and where can i find it? (link)
| |
Hahah, they play this at my school all the time, too. I'm not too sure of what the link is, but the game is called "LineRider", and I'm pretty sure if you searched Google.com, You'll be able to find the link to play the game. =)

5 minutes ago i I.Md this boy hes not just some boy hes like a brother to me i tell him everything but i just I.Md him and he didnt answer so i waited 15 min and he just signd off which is not like him hed atleast say something i dont recall doing anything to upset him should i give him space? (link)
| |
Hah, don't stress it. He may have a messed up intenet. Just because he dosen't usually have problems with the computer, dosen't mean they don't arise sometimes. Don't worry. But if you see any other signs that he might be ignoring you or something, just talk to him about it.

Anyone knows where Gerard Way, lead singer of the ripping band My Chemical Romance went to Art School?
Please answer, I really want to know!
(link)

Rudkers, that's not how it's spelled, but I'm pretty sure that's where he went. Sorry if that's only the college he went to, though. =( .
Ahhh, Gerard Way = Love. =)

hey yeah my moms telling me to sleep morecause i havent been sleeping and im starting to get breakouts. true? or partially true?? (link)
| |
It's true, alright. You need to be all around healthy for your skin to be healthy. If you're tired, it's going to make it hard for your body to fight infections, and that makes it easier for breakouts to occur.
