Can someone just reassure me that getting over true love is possible because right now I'm not so sure..

Is it possible? Have you done it?
(link)
I believe it IS possible- in the longrun. Although the process is painful.

All i know is, although it doesnt seem like it, everything WILL be alright eventually.

I'm thinking the same as you to be honest..it doesnt seem possible.

Ive been broken up with my boyfriend of a year and a half since march.
and it still hurts alot, but i just reassure myself its for the best, and I'll find someone else who will treat me better.

Plus, I find it's the little elements in life such as music and my friends that help me not to focus on this, and to help me get by.

we can never determine how long it will take an individual to get over love. For some it takes as little as days, others months, and for some - years.

I will reasure you as much as i can..but YOU have to believe in it yourself in order for it to happen.
And unfortunatley it won't happen immediatley.

When you are over it, however, i think you'll know and will be able to continue with life acknowledging this.

Im still in-beteen stages where im content with being single, although i AM lonely. However, ive seen this happen to friends - and they HAVE overcome this "crisis".

so if they can, im sure we both can :)


you need to maintain a positive attitude and (cornily) think - anything is possible!

Best of luck - I hope this helped somehow :)

You know how bands have that player thingo on their MySpace? Are there any sites that let you download the songs that are on them?

I know some bands let you download their music but for the ones that don't is there anyway to get the music like through a converter from a site or something? (link)
This may seem a little obvious, but have you tried messaging the band to ask if it's possbile for them to send you a recording?

i own a band account on myspace..and if someone wanted a song...Id most probably let them have it providing the material was striclty for their listening pleasure, and NOT to steal it! ...and i would have to consult the other memeber.

anyway,

Im sure if you asked, you could get somewhere.
If not, try Limewire, or google it to see if they have distributed their music onto any other sites where you could possibly download it.

hope this helped

In between my fingers, my skin is red and a little flaky. There's also little bumps, kindof like scabs but not really. It gets very itchy, and when I stratch it the the bumps, pop? and inbetween my fingers it gets all pussy and sticky and nasty. What is this? What kindof ointment should I use to make it go away? (link)
I get this...

I have mild eczema on my hands for most of the year seeing as i cant completely get rid of it...and ontop of that my hands sweat alot...and i get heat-rash on the palms of my hands and inbetween my fingers when summer starts.( i have it at the monent actually :( )

normally it looks flaky with bumps inbetween the fingers which is what you've discribed.


thats what the pussy bumps are (heat-rash)
Go to your doctor so they can professionally percsribe you something.

i put vaseline on my hands to help the flaky skin seeing as hancream makes my hands sweat.

please dont worry in the mean time..LOTS of people get this.
and it WILL go away :)

hope this helped.

me and my friend sent this realyl close guy friend of ours pictures of our vag and asses and she sent boobs too.. just for pleasure and fun i dont find it wrong but w.e but anyways idk how someone else saw them yeah i was pissed but i got over it.. but then there was a rumer that i had a funny looking vag.. like why is that this is why im self consciens of my vagina beacuse i feeel like there is something that looks abnormal or something .. help please (link)
unfortunatley, you've learnt the hard way!

lesson number one:
NEVER send personal pictures of yourself to a guy (no matter HOW close)if you want them to remain private.

he's a GUY who has REVEALING pictures of you...you think hes going to keep THAT private?

my male friend told me that..and after hearing THIS (which was similar to a situation a girl at my schoool got herself into) it seems VERY TRUE!

i hope you talked to this "really close guy friend "of yours, because that ISNT what close friends do at ALL.

oh, and make sure he didnt put them on the internet either. Because then you have bigger problems :S

anyway,

evey vagina is unique, they all look different. the only way people will think it looks "weird" is because they've seen millions of vaginas, and yours is DIFFERENT from the rest.
somehow, i doubt that they have looked at a million vaginas other than their own, unless they Googled "vagina" in order to releive them of their anxiety about their own genitalia.

this sounds harsh, but i hope you learnt your lesson :( if you have any sense, you won't do it again unless you WANT MORE people looking at you and commenting on it :S




i got a kitten like a little less then a month ago and she hates me. like i lleave her in her cage b4 i go 2 skool and when i take her out to feed her or play with her she bites me and just wants to run around my room. like how do i make her like me? like how can i show her i care? also, my mom is alergic to cats so my kitty has to stay in my room all day long and she stays in her cage and she isnt aloud to get out well only out of the cage but not out of my room and my room is starting to stink how can i make it not stink and what should i do about my cat? thanks bunches! (link)
to add to the other advicenators' great answers,
can i also remind yout that it IS a health risk...(to you AND the cat)

if her kittie litter is in your room, your room WILL become contaminated with germs over time,(as will her cat food if that is in your room too...which ould makethe cat ill )
as your cat grows older it will eat more ...do the maths lol.


its also unhealthy for you keeping an animal in your room- especially cooped up in a cage ALL DAY , the cat will need exercise (which is why she insits on rumming around your room)...do you let it out in the garden?

cats are very curious, outgoing creatures- theyre not like dogs who love to stay indoors all day, they like to explore :) (and they cant do that in a cage)

i hate to say this, but it sounds as if this cat is going to cause problems for itself and you if youve been restricted to keeping it in one single room.

its unfair on the cat. my mum is alergic to cats too, and it makes her hay-fever worse lol..but she loves them and so lets the roam freely around the house and outside.

if your mum is allergic to them, surely she would have realsied that having a cat would be unfair on the animal due to the standards you have to keep it in :(

and keeping it in just one room will STILL irritate your mum's allergy because:

anything in your room which will be shifted around the house, (for example your dirty laundry) will have "cat-ness " in it, so technically she will have contact with the cat, and also.. air circulates around your house and the "cat-ness" will be inter-twined with the air :)

i know you love your cat, but i dont think this is a good idea keeping her as

a) she sounds miserable ( and she could turn into a violent cat!)

b) its going to cause problems for you in the future.

is there a relative who wouldnt mind having the cat and you visiting it often?

if not, i would sort out something before the situation gets worse :(


the best way to make your cat love you is to grant her freedom, and show her affection after doing so.
dont force her to have a hug with you as this drives them away! haha

i wish you the best of luck!

Does anyone know any pop or rock songs that involve being imperfect? I wish that I could hear some things that relate... help? (link)
right

PLEASE listen to the song "maybe"

www.myspace.com/alexandshaun

see what you think.
its an acoustic song ( and a rough recording)


its about how love and a certain relationship was imperfect... as in the girl was never good enough.

listen to the words in the verse as these are more about being imperfect.

enjoy :)
and get back to me if poss :)


what is it?
(link)
it's also a nightmare :D

and there is now way of getting rid of it unless you have treatment.

damn.


what are some thigs i could do to have me stand out bfrom everyone else...in a positive way? (link)
make yourself as individual as you can by doing the most individual thing only YOU are capable of doing...

be yourself.

act how YOU want and not how others expect you to act.

say WHAT YOU want and HOW you wish to say it.

others can not criticize you for doing this because being unique these days is very rare.

if they werent so caught up in all of this popularity bullshit and follwoing the crowd, or acting to impress others the WHOLE time,maybe they would be as strong as you by wanting to be different.

ive been doing this for about 3 years now, and to tell the truth its alot better.
youre known for WHO you are rather than what you appear.

my friends know me for being totally crazy ( and bordering on insanity haaha)...and others DO look down on me, BUT i remind myself that if theyre going to be like this all through life, they have no hope :)

good luck :D


lets say your moving to the another country or state soon and your good friend comes up to you and say"can you do me a favor?" and you asked them what it is and they say"can you not leave?"---do you think this is cute? (link)
This is lovely :)

it really sounds as if your friend cares about you, and if you go, they'll feel empty as they are basically begging you to stay!

i wish you luck with your move, and luck with making new friends as kind as this one seems to be :)


I need a prank to play at my slumber party. Any ideas? (link)
well...
it's a bit weird BUT i heard that putting your friend's bra in the freezer is a good one!


(BONUS if it's a gel bra! ) haha

BUT i dont understand why people would want to do that...

best way to find out is to do it!


have fun! :)

riiight i need a bit of advice, girls your the only people who can help. i love my gf to bits but she keeps like having loads of mood swing i know the period n all that but its not that:S she keeps having loads of mood swings and everything is ok with her family and all that i dunno what it is. so girls do you get like this at times?? and if so why:S its personal yeh but i could realy do with the help. thanks very uch:) (link)
Well, you and I are in the same boat.

my ex used to become very emotional and take me along for the ride.

that included him being weird, moody and DUMPING me 3 times PLUS saying hurtful things which i could'nt manage to piece together as they werent true (or were extremely exxagerated)!!

well, now you've told me this i have alot of sympathy for you to be honsest!

it just sounds as if shes' a little inconsiderate of how this may affect you NOW becaue of what happened last time (her dumping you), and for reasons such as that its just irrational and unfair on your bahalf :(

well, you love her. you support her. you be there for her.
thats all you CAN offer.

and if she isnt grateful for that and can't see how much you care for her, then i'm sorry but you don't deseve treatment like that, and she doesn't deserve to have the privalage of having a caring boyfriend if she is just going to dismiss you.

hope that helped a little more :)
-------------------------------------------------



hey

can i just say

i was actually dumped because of this.

ill tell you WHY i was like that, to help you understand :)

(if what i have to say doesnt apply, then i apoligise, im just trying to make you understand how its the things you may not even realise affecting her moods :( )


i doubt you treat her badly, but when i was with my boyfriend, it was really great until he broke up with me after 10 months. i had the occasional mood swing mostly due to hormones. however, then we got back together a month later which changed everything. i was having mood swings every week because of HIM and we broke up about 3 months ago because of it.

he was blind to it and so didnt understand, let alone ASK why i was like this.

( by the way, im not saying youre at fault at all, im just talking from experience)

he was TOTALLY in control, and this made me doubt to whether he loved me or not.
its not JUST that, it was tiny things like he may have canclled our plans, and i could never trust him.

sometimes it went as far as he would call me a name and not mean it but i took it to heart because im sensitve. and then wewould argue.

i became VERY paranoid which caused me to be VERY snappy around him.

of course, he couldnt understand this, but im hoping youll have more tollerence with her, by trying to understand...after all women have these as it is preparing them for motherhood.

if worst comes to worst, youll go a few days without seig hr so she can cool off. explain to her how you feel, and maybe youll be able to talk abiout it and explain that you may feel that its ruining what you have.

but if you love her, dont break up with her.
because that will contradict your emotions, and make her feel totally at fault.

i didnt have anything to be mooday about either apart from him. maybe its different in your situation.

She may have things she doesnt want you to know, like it may be school stress, or she MAY be having family problems, but doesnt want to say anything.
It coud be something realy samll to you, but big for her...for example her best friend may have copied her hair style or bought the same top as her.

it IS normal for us to be depressed or moody without a reason though.so dont worry :)you wont get this because luckyily, males are not as emotional as females! haha

all you can do is appriciate her for who she really is despite her "alien" personality, all girls have them. try to support her as much as possible and i know itll be hard, but she really doesnt mean to act like this.

if we could help it, we wouldnt do it :)

sorry this was a bit long, but i hope i helped somehow.
i would have offered more if you explained the situation a little further :)

you sem to care for her a great deal if youre seeking help.

good luck and i hope all goes well :)

take care

Alex


do i have a yeast infection if my discharge is whiteishh or is that normal. oh yah and there is not itching or burning. (link)
you sound normal to me

discharrge varies...until you start to itch...and discharge smells perculiar and looks a bit like cottage cheese, you have nothing to worry about :)


i usually am music savvy type girl and i always find my own music. but lately i can't find any. im into all types of music except pop. whats on my ipod currently is indie music. anyone got any good artist? (link)
check out this unsigned band from England called Forbidden Lust..im sure they'll offer what you're looking for,as they really vary their style.

they're on myspace: www.myspace.com/forbiddenlust

good luck. hope you like them :)


okay so i have a boyfriend of about 9 months now and i love him so much.. it's just sometimes he annoys me and we get into stupid little fights..i have a problem with like over thinking things, or sometimes i let things get to me that shouldn't. does anyone have any advice as to how i can just let things go and be more carefree about things? and also is this normal? like do couples get into little stupid fights? just let me know! thank youu (link)
YES THEY DAMN WELL DO!!

i am, EXACTLY the same as you. i over think EVERYHITNG..i think too much..that it sometimes CAUSES the stupid fights.

the only way to resolve this is to talk to one another it.

(without sounding like an insaine psychologist:)do you feel you need to be constantly reassured..or you have trust issues?
this may be why.

i know i do..which isnt good.
at least youve aknowlegded this..well done :)

i feel my boyfiend of a year and a half will get back with his ex...of 6 months maximum! its 90% likely he wont...but i convince myself he will..because im stupid like that.and im neurotic (creating probs that dont exist...a result of too much thinking..again!)

however, i tell myself that if he didnt love you, he wouldnt be here for you. "so quit your whining" hehehe

now that you understand how you feel, take action...take a deep breath before speaking out loud, and calmly tell him what you feel, and how you think you over think :)
if he loves you, the least he could do is try to understand. :)

it will be hard, but you can do it :)
good luck:)


where's a good site to do music downloads besides itunes, myspace, and limewire [which is illegal anyway]?
maybe even a site where you can listen to the whole song without a lot of "buffering"?
thanks. (link)
you cant download songs, but its good..and has different versions of some songs on there..which is a bonus if youre a huge fan of a certain artist

its called: www.seeqpod.com

they dont buffer as much as myspace!!
just wait for the song to upload and away you go...

enjoy!


well i know alcohol is bad for you and stuff.
but i was wondering why.

like whats in alcohol that messes with your brain and kills your liver? (link)
just to add to those responses..alcohol is a drug.

any drug is bad for you. (unless perscribed)


i like him
hes likes me
hes got girlfriend
im fridgid
help lol (link)
well, if he likes you back, all he has to do is break up with his girlfriend..if hes telling you the truth.

about being "frigid"...i dont know how old you are..whatever the age, there is no age where youre expected to be sexually active in any way.

if you ever have that desire, make sure you're ready, dont plunge into anyhitng you may regret.

take it a step at a time.

remember, dont push him to break up with her. how he is feeling is confusing enough (maybe he feels a bit guilty THIS IS NOT YOUR FAULT THOUGH!! well...unless you left out something :) )...she may be devistated with his decision. in these situations, you have to consider EVERYONES feelings.

good luck whatever happens :)
