Matt's advice column

I went to WalMart to buy the Sims 3 but they were completely sold out and I asked the electronics guy in Walmart and he said he wasn't sure when they were going to be getting them back in! :\

So, where can buy the Sims 3 game for the PC? I want it sooo bad but I don't know any other places that might have it other than WalMart! :(

Any suggestion is appreciated, even if it's just specific websites that are trustworthy. I've never ordered from online before but if no store had them I guess I would have to, right? I don't know...help!

http://www.amazon.com/Sims-3-Pc/dp/B00166N6SA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=videogames&qid=1244794635&sr=8-1

Note the reviews. I personally wouldn't shell out 45 bucks for something with such poor reviews, but then I'm not much of a Sims fan. Ordering online is quite simple really. All you need is a credit card. And to know your address. Can't forget that. You'll have to make an Amazon account, but that's fairly simple. Then you just click the button to the right that says add to shopping cart, then on the next page to the right you'd click precede to check out, where you'd deal with all your credit card information and shipping address. Simple, easy, good for the lazy.

josh decided he would choose between me and kelsey but he would need a couple days because he liked us both. i finally talked to him and he said he was sticking with kelsey...so once again he led me on and broke my heart! its so hard to find the right boy, should i just give up on him?

Are you saying that resident piece of shit Josh is "the right boy"? If so, you need to reevaluate your standards as far as who the relationship material people are.

Judging from Josh's behavior, you're probably pretty young, because mature guys wouldn't do that. At this age, you'll either have to deal with the shit that gets thrown at you or give up on dating for now.

okay so we broke up like a little over a month ago and i've been talking to his sister and she says that he has no social life since we broke up, and he's been being mean to his friends and stuff and he was doing better with me (he had a social life with my friends-guys&girls too but now they kinda don't like him cuz he dumped me). the last month while we were dating he would lie to me and tell me "his mom wouldn't let him go out" or "he had homework" and he never used to do this for like the first 6 months we were together. she says hes lazy but he still likes me. i guess what i'm saying is that i miss who he used to be...we were planning on hanging out when school is over, so my question is, do you think i can get him back the way he used to be during the first 6 months? how? things were perfect last summer and i want them to be this summer too. and please don't tell me to just move on, if worst comes to worst i know that i can. i just want to give this a shot because i do miss who he was. thanks so much. 17/f hes 17.

What are the odds? I don't know. Hang out with him once or twice. Ff he's not himself, forget it.

I don't know why he became such a recluse, but the issue wasn't with you. One of the reasons he may be so keen on hanging out with you again is because he realizes what he's been missing in his life, and he associates the good times with you. So his desire to hang out doesn't necessarily mean anything as far as his feelings go, but then again, it always could.

In conclusion, I don't know your boyfriend. His behavior is strange, so I have no situation to compare that too. Basically, it's a coin toss. Worth the flip at least.

I am a 20 year old History undergraduate and I feel like my life is falling apart. The past two months have been very difficult from being filled with my stupidity. I found out I was pregnant mid-March and had an abortion two weeks ago and the guilt is eating me up. I keep reliving the experience in my dreams, or, worse, I dream that I am still pregnant and wake up hopelessly disappointed (I am regretting this decision so much). I was supposed to take a pregnancy test on Friday to confirm that I am no longer pregnant and I can't bring myself to do it because I'm scared of seeing the negative result. My boyfriend resents me heavily for the choice and so refuses to talk about it with me, but I completely understand I can't say I would react any differently now. My parents were so strongly for the abortion that I don't want to tell them how I'm feeling now that it's been done.

I initially felt I made the right choice: I'm too young; I have no family who could help me because my only relatives (my parents) moved (as already planned) to Saudi Arabia a week after my abortion; I have no money; and my boyfriend is leaving to study in California at the end of this semester. Now, though, I feel it was a selfish thing to do. I took another life for my convince, really, when I could have just given the baby up if I couldn't actually care for it. I know people who had children younger than I am now and who coped marvelously. I murdered and it is haunting me.

Not only this, but around the time I discovered I was pregnant, I had a flare up of Ulcerative Colitis (I was diagnosed age 16 and had been previously without symptoms for 2 years). The illness greatly affects my general feeling of well-being and I am too embarrassed to tell my friends so they just don't understand. I feel entirely alone and isolated with this entire thing, especially now that I have two "secrets" to hide from my friends (I am so embarrassed for having the abortion). I'm in a total rut that I can't seem to drag myself out of. I have a history of self-harm and I refuse to resort to that but it's getting so much harder to resist. I feel like I have no one to talk to who can understand that what I did was horrible and not hate me for it.

I have exams starting tomorrow that, as a result of the events of the past few weeks, I am ill prepared for and I just don't know how to cope with any of this. I want to stay in bed forever and never get up. I wish it never happened. Please, please help me...

You didn't take another life, you stopped one from occurring. Can't murder what isn't alive and human.

EDIT:

Mmm, doesn't work that way. Just because something has the potential to be a human life doesn't make it human. You said it yourself; clump of cells. Gnats are made up of clumps of cells, but you wouldn't think twice about killing one.

I really want to have a special song with my boyfriend and he thinks it's a neat idea too. We both tried to think of neat songs to "have" together but we're not coming up with much, really.

We've thought about:

"The dance" by Garth Brooks
"You're still the one" by Shania Twain
"Remember when" by Alan Jackson
"Holding you holds me together" by Gretchen Wilson
"I'll Look After You" by The Fray
"Truly Madly Deeply" by Savage Garden
"Lovesong" by The Cure

...but nothing is really sticking as a great song to have together. :\

Does anyone have a good suggestion for our song together?

Choose a song that they really don't like, that's what I did.

I narrowed it down to Crusher Destroyer by Mastodon and Mother Puncher by Mastodon, and went with Crusher Destroyer. So you should go with Mother Puncher.

This is going to sound a little stupid probably, but my boyfriend has lied to me about something small and now it's totally made me wonder if I can really trust him.

Basically, he told me that he couldn't really afford to go crazy and all-out on our one year anniversary day, which I was completely fine with, but then he kept going on about wanting to buy this Playstation 3 game that was something like $70. Anyway, I found out that he bought it a couple of days ago, but he told me it was only $10 because he had traded in some games at the same time; however, he accidentally left the receipt for it in the living room, which showed that this was not the actual case--that he had actually paid full price for the Playstation 3 game.

Now, before you think I'm crazy or something, my boyfriend and I have had problems in the past and have been working on getting our trust back for each other. (He had a wild night out with the boys once that totally crushed our relationship for awhile) It bothers me that he couldn't just be honest with me about this, I guess. I mean, it wouldn't have been a big deal at all...why lie?

Do you think I'm overreacting?

Fuck that asshole; break up with him.

My boyfriend and I are having our six month anniversary on Friday and I want to make him a mixed CD of songs to share with him. I don't really know what KIND of songs to put on the CD, let alone which specific songs.

Should I make a mix CD of love songs? My favorite songs? His favorite songs? What?!?! And...are there any SPECIFIC songs I should really add to the CD before I give it to him? Ugh, how in the world do I make the perfect mix CD? :\

As long as you don't put your favorite songs, you'll be okay.

Okay i am a 13/f and i want to have sex with my bf. We have known each other since pr-k. We have been dating for almost 3 months and things are getting to be really serious. i always told people i was going to stay a virgin until i get married but i dont think i can do it anymore. He worships the ground i walk on and he isnt like most 13 year old boys. He loves me for me and we have grown up togather so he knows everyhting i have been through. I want to have sex with him and he only wants to if i want to. i do but i dont want my parents not to trust me anymore i have told my mom about it and she said just to let her know. i did and she flipped so what do i do... Please help AND FAST!!

He's not like most 13 year old boys? So what is he like, a 14 year old boy? If you're not ready to raise a child, you're not ready to have sex. Just take care of these urges on your lonesome...

And if that doesn't work, just imagine a watermelon coming out of your vagina.
