♥I don't have a clue. Maybe it's a glitch, or admin took it away for some reason. i still add it before every one of my answers because the hearts still show up on my column front page.

♥Classic rock is good stuff. If you like the Pink Floyd kind of sound, I would suggest buying these CD's: Rage Against The Machine, Led Zeppelin, Nirvana, AC/DC, The Deftones (a little harder rock), The Beatles, The Cure, Metallica, etc. Hope you like some of these.

♥Those "spongey things" are called Loofahs! It would be best to change them every month because they are storing bacteria. Don't listen to people who say it's alright to keep it until it falls apart, that is unhealthy, it will get so dirty that when you wash yourself with it, all you're doing is spreading bacteria. Try and switch out your loofah every month, they aren't expensive. It's the most sanitary way to go.

♥You can get a cold during any season, any place, anytime, any country. You can get a "cold" even when it's hot out. I don't have a clue why it's called a cold. Have your parents/guardian take you to see a doctor and ask for a nasal spray. Nasal sprays will help your nose to be not so stuffy, a good brand is RhinoCort. Also, drink plenty of hot green tea with honey drizzled over top. It's good, and it will help your sinuses get cleaed. Hungry? Go for Mexican style food tonight, the heat of the Chile peppers will un-clog your nose. Be sure to always have tissues on hand. Feel better!

♥I somewhat have to agree with you on this one. However, cutters have reasons to why they do it, not always neccessarily because "life sucks i hate myself im depressed". They do it because their body feels a certain way unless they cut. Cutting is not only a physical addiction, it's a mental addiction as well. People like us who aren't involved in that type of deal aren't able to understand, and probably won't ever. You just have to accept it, and if it bothers you, ignore it.

♥Try LimeWire for uploading songs to your iPod. It doesn't cost any money (even for songs), it's fast, it's easy, it's legal. You will always get what you want, and maybe more. LimeWire is going to be your new best friend. The link to download it is http://www.limewire.com

♥Sounds good. I checked on a website called All Recipes for "Cinnamon Tortillas" and found this recipe: http://appetizer.allrecipes.com/az/nnisFritSlsndCinnmnChips.asp . It is exactly what you're looking for. The recipe also tells you how to make a fruit salsa as a dip for the chips, but if you don't like that just follow the "chip making" part of the recipe.

♥No. Soda is not good for you at all. I can imagine that you reallyare addicted because of the high ammounts of caffeine and sugar. I suggest you try and atleast cut down on your soda intake. Try flavored sparkeling water if you like the carbonation. Soda will rot your teeth, literally. There was once a study where a tooth was placed in a cup of Pepsi overnight, when they checked it, the tooth was decayed. Eek! Also, believe it or not, there are carbs (carboydrates) and sugar in soda that will cause weight gain. Diet soda isn't good either, it's filled with chemicals, artificial flavors, and sodium.

♥You aren't starving yourself because you ARE eating. You aren't eating enough and not eating the proper nutrients. I suggest you eat more than you are now, and eat more healthy alternatives. Daily meal example:

Breakfast- Half bagel with light cream cheese, a fruit, and some canadian bacon or regular. (eat a semi big breakfast, it's the most important meal of the day)

Lunch- Sandwhich with wheat bread (or white), any type of lunch meat, cheese, lettuce, mayo, whatever you like on it. A pickle, some chips or pretzals, and a cookie.

Dinner- Grilled chicken, rice, veggie, etc.

♥Hippies? I think they're cool. They aren't afraid to be themselves, live the way they want, and speak out to the world about their beliefs. They love the Earth and their surroundings. I think everyone should act a bit like a hippie sometimes, speak out their opinions a bit more and try to change all of the unneccesary bad things going on in the world today. Matter of fact, I just sounded like a hippie.

♥Well it depends. You shouldn't force her into taking you back. Do things that will show you that you havr realized your 'problems' and are working to correct them. If she wants you back, she'll take you back, if not, she doesn't want you back. It's all about what she wants.

♥Nobody has any right to push their religon and beliefs on people, it's not right. You are your own individual person that has a right to have your own opinions and live life how you want it. You are not wrong at all. I'm an athiest but my whole family is Christian, they don't push anything on me. If I were you I would tell your mother this and refuse to go to the church, it isn't rude or disrespectful to her, it's disrespectful to YOUR religion. Every human being has right of opinion, and yours is to be satanist, there is no right for someone to try and change that.

♥It depends. Think back, do you remember telling her especially not to tell anyone? If you didn't actually tell her not to, she still can remain your best friend. Although, if you did warn her and she still told someone, I don't think she should be your best friend. Of course let her remain your friend, but get a new "best" friend. BUT...if the secret you told her was something she could be concerned about and she told her family or your family, I think you should let her off the hook because she was just concerned.

♥It's actually true. I heard that and then did alot of research, and it turns out that he really is a 27 year old man. The reason he looks like a 12 year old boy is because of a serious growth disorder.

♥Yes, soda is very bad for you. Not only does it cause you to gain weight, it stains your teeth and causes gas. There was a study where a tooth was placed in a cup of soda overnight, and the tooth rotted. Diet soda pop won't make you gain weight, but it can cause future complications in the future because of the ammount of salt and chemicals inside. Stick to water and juice, a diet soda is good every once in a while, just not every day.

♥Yes, I think it bothers all of us. The best thing to do is just ignore it, let them be annoying if it makes their lives seem cool to them. If you really can't stand it, go to Column settings (I think thats where it is) and you can block certain users with a rating under 1 or 2.

♥I totally understand how you're afraid to get into a relationship because of your past. Because you are 13, I think you should give "going out" a try, at your age it isn't considered a "relationship" and won't be as serios as your mom and dad's old one. Not all guys are the same you know. Make sure you find a guy you really trust that you know won't do anything to harm you. If you're still getting second thoughts, you aren't ready for a relationship anyhow, so put dating off for a while until you really feel that you're ready.

♥Yes, you should use a condom. This is the safest way for you to go. Although, condoms don't guarentee no std's. You can still get them by using the condom, but the chances are only a little lower.

♥That doesn't seem normal. I'm not a doctor, so I really can't help you much here, but I can suggest what might be causing this.

*The midnight snacks, you said you ate big ones, try cutting down or not eating one for a night, when you wake up see if there is a difference.
*If that doesn't work, tell a parent and go to the doctor, there may be something wrong with your stomach or digestive system.
*Also, these are the symptoms of Morning Sickness when you're pregnant, have you had sex? Take a pregnancy test.

Good luck, feel better.
