about

Hi, my name is Angela. I'd like to think I'm a friendly person and I've had my share of experiences and knowledge.


My friends tell me I'm great at giving them advice (most of the time) and I like to have fun while I'm at it.

Not sure about something a decision? Need more insight? Have some questions about sex? You should feel free to ask me about anything at all. I check my email all the time and I'll try to respond as soon as possible!


advice

Ok well im moving and we are finally buying a house. My parents said that we could buy 2 dogs a dog that stays small and a larger dog maybe like a retriever or something. well i get to choose what kind of small dog we want and i need some help, any ideas? also any ideas for names?
thanks for any help!
X to the O

What I had was a Cocker Spaniel ( a not so big dog ) and a Maltese. When getting a smaller dog, choose very, very carefully.

Do you have the time to groom your dogs? A lot of toy dogs need daily grooming which can range from 10 minutes a day to about 40 minutes (detangling).

Smaller dogs tend to be much more vocal. Of course, this depends on the personality of your dog. With all said, I like the Charles Spaniel and pugs :) Here's a website to give you some ideas: http://www.dogbiz.com/dogs-grp5/toys-index.htm

I would suggest spending time at a kennel, playing with each dog and asking the sales associates about each breed. The most informant method is searching online.

Can you tell me eyeliner and liquid eyeliner brands? Oh and I want to see you're opinion on what is better to use.
And is there any COLORED mascara? Like.. purple, pink, etc? If yes, what stores are they in?

Alright one of my favorite stores to go to when I'm on a search for something is Sephora. They have mascaras in all the colors of the rainbow (and more). One of my favorite names in there is Sugar, they have the most adorable stuff! They just happen to have what you need, too. There's something out right now called I Wink 4 Sugar Mini Mascara Set. It's $19 but it has 4 different colors to choose from, all guarenteed adorable.

As for eyeliners, I like estee lauders new retractable ones. You can switch them out and they glide on perfectly. I wouldn't go for liquid eyeliners. If you're a beginner at applying they tend to go all over the place, painfully in your eyes. A cheaper alternative is the Sephora Kohl Pencil. It's 8 bucks a stick and it's also excellent. What i am using now is Clinique, I love the sparkly effect. :)

During 4th period yesterday, my friend, Ryan had my cell and I forgot to get it back from him at the end of class. So he had to keep it and his 5th and 6th periods are football. All the football guys know me so I guess they thought they could mess with my phone and it would be alright. Here's just a few things I found out they did:

1. changed my b/f's name to "cock sucker"
2. took pictures of themselves in the shower (surprisingly enough, I wasn't turned on)
3. sent dirty texts to people
4. changed my dad's name to "do not answer"
5. downloaded all these songs and games
6. i have a "never delete" folder for the texts i want and didn't want to delete and they of course, deleted them! (they claim this one was an accident)
7. and changed the language to German

I was furious with them when I saw my cell. Mostly at Ryan for letting them do it. So, I am not talking to any of them until I figure out if they're worth it or not. Specially Ryan. Now, he claims he is mad at me because I had no right to be mad at him because it wasn't his fault! How immature is that? I don't care that they used up my texts or downloaded stuff that cost money and I don't want them to pay me back or anything but what should I do?

Oh my god that tends to happen to me a lot! I would let someone look through my phone and forget to get it back. The worst I had happen to me was the girls decided to try and schege a date at PF Chang's with 3 of my recent exes (clearly marked in my address book) on the same night as, well, another "date". Of course, this was all totally forgiven since they put a stop to it before the initial date.

What it looks like to me is just a bunch of boys being boys and trying to outdo each other with silly pranks. What bothers me, though, are the nude pictures, dirty texts to other people, and deleting your folders and texts. Everything else seems very typical, but those are violations, possibly one that is punishable by law in your state. Aren't cell phones officially banned from all gyms and locker rooms?

If you're willing to forgive them, I would suggest talking to them, SEPARATELY, rather than as a group, and if you don't feel they're taking responsibility for being an ass, then you should tell the coach or your administrator. This kind of joking-around can bar them from the season. Again, these are just boys, being boys, and they don't mean it in any sordid way. Personally, I would make sure they restore my cell phone and what they can't, make sure they apologize for.

As for your friend Ryan, are you sure that's the kind of person you want to be friends with? The nude pictures are just foul. When you're talking to them, try and remain calm, and offer strong points about why what they did was wrong. Firmly let them know that next time this happens you will take action.

see, i have a boyfriend..but i think somethings up with him, ever since his good friend started liking me, hes been acting weird lately, he usually talks to me all the time, and sits with me too..i asked my best friend..and of course she went over to him and he said she needed some space.....I dont get it..please help me understand this whole situation!

"I need some space" usually means that he needs time to think (yes boys think!) about where he stands with you now or it could be he's having second thoughts about being your boo. It's kinda like, ok whoah, back up and look at the big picture.

Since his good friend adores you, too, he probably doesn't want to spoil his friendship with him over you. This is not to say he doesn't think you're his world, it just means he doesnt want a messy encounter. Your boyfriend probably has talked to his friend already and is just giving him time. It takes a lot of guts to admit you like your bud's girl ;)

I have a OLD friend but really concerned about her. She is just 12 and she went to her B/Fs today. She won't stay at her dads (parents r split up) and she always stays at her moms. I guess she wants people to think she iss cool I don't know. She acts like a prep and she NEVER calls her dad or anything and you know it hurts his feelings and she hasn't been to her dads in 2 weeks and when she did go she stayed in her room. Her dad and my sister (who is married to him LOL) have been VERY good to her. I mean my dad doesn't even care about me and she doesn't know how luccky she is. What can I do. Thanks (Please no smartA**es)

That's exactly it, she IS just 12, and you've just got to let kids do their own thing. Maybe she feels hurt inside by her father when her parents split up and by ignoring him she wants to feel disconnected from these feelings that are constantly bugging at her. Since she is 12, you can't expect her to see these feelings until she does the damage that she feels is enough and then repents. Sometimes the only thing you can do is just sit back and just watch the action.

This is the kind of love-hate relationship that happens in a parent-child relationship when a divorce takes over a family. The child becomes attached to one parent and feels as if the other parent should be blamed. No matter how well your sister and her father treats her, she will continue to treat her father with contempt until she deals her damage. You cannot stop her angst and trying to contain it will make it worse. What I'm saying to you is just don't waste your energy and stress about it. Even though it is your sister, this is between her and her family. I'm sure it hurts you to see her father heartbroken by her actions but she will learn to accept the divorce and he'll have to learn to accept her hostile feelings toward him.

Let me use an example to explain her feelings: As a child, you used to act out a scene when you yell at your teddy bear as a way to let out something thats been bothering you, but you knew that it would still love you so it makes you feel better. This is a similar to what she is experiencing.

What you can do is let her know that her father loves her and he wants to spend more time with her. Yes, she is lucky to have a father who still wants to be a part of her life, but you can't bring that realization to her. She has to realize that herself.

hey i am 13 and i waz just wunderin how do u exactly dry a bra i rate well real well so...plz help me

Do not, I repeat, do NOT put your bra in a dryer. It'll most likely ruin it (depending on how delicate it is) or loosen the fabrics that hold it together. It's best to handwash and hang to dry. Use two clips and clip each of the straps to a handle/bar in your bathroom or shower. This goes for non-cotton panties and lingerie too.

My name is ashley im 15 & i have this friend leanna .. we both liked the same person for the same about of time just about .. then she started goin out with him .. is that right .. i think if two friends like the same person neither of them can have that person cause its not fair .. she always uses the excuse against me that its happend before & she tells me im not a goodfriend and im selfish & if i was a good friend that i would be accpecting of this .. am i right or wrong in this situation? .. i feel betrayed because of her .. i never would do something like that to her .. so what do u think .. am i right to feel that way or am i wrong ?

i rate =)

This sounded like my situation with someone when I was in high school. So this is what I basically pulled from all of it.

Sure you and your friend should have the right to pursue anyone that you want but it's what you do with that opportunity that matters. Perhaps she did something that you lost the opportunity to act upon. From her point of view, she probably saw it as "Hey we both like this guy, she's probably not serious about him since she hasn't made a move yet, so I might as well do it". What Leanna probably felt tired of just waiting and "letting go another one" so she decided to make the move. Or if he made the move, it is something that made Leanna jog his mind. Every second of every day gives you the chance to catch his eye, and to aspire for anything you wish. Waiting on that chance is never a good thing because there is an expiration date to everything, whether you like it or not.

Whether you are wrong or not is not a clear line that you can just draw from. Your friend made it clear that she liked him, too, so it's not like she pulled a carpet from right under you. But she did not necessarily clear that she was going to hunt him down and the shock is probably what made you react with anger. She had no right, however, to call you a bad friend, or accuse you of being selfish as if it was a disturbing thing to be feeling or that it makes you a bad friend. Leanna most likely understood that you were going to react with anger, so she defends herself with reasons, not excuses, and met you with anger by picking at you with a very juvenile reasoning. Don't worry, you have every reason to feel the way you feel because it is a natural feeling of betrayal but you need to be able to understand it from her point of view in order to move on.

Hopefully, you are now able to accept that your friend is going out with a guy you had a crush on. Again, it shouldn't come as that much of a shock to you. "Just because" she is your friend does not entitle you to her judgement as much as you are in control of the boy's judgement in her. Yes you are allowed to feel the way you feel but you should not judge your friend based on these hostile feelings right now. Your friend Leanna will mean more to you in a month than that "old news" will.

And besides.. it gives you the edge in first picks next time. Just make sure you get your foot in the door before your friend does when the boys are all prim and lined up. ;)

What probably happened is your AIM program got deleted in the process of getting rid of your virus.

Try this:
Go to www.aim.com and redownload the AIM program. After its downloaded, try logging in.

ok my guy friend was over a few weeks ago and we like open mouth kissed for about a minute and he did stick his tounge in my mouth and i stuck mine in his and he rubbed me "down there"(but i was wearing pants). people asked me if i made out with him and i just dont answer but hes telling people that he didnt make out with me it was just a kiss..... what was it?

Hm sounds a lot more like someone just stuck a pacifier in your mouth. Yes that is considered more than a kiss, especially since he went below the hips. Of course he might have done it as a automatically and was subconsciously aware of what he was doing. (This does happen, believe it or not)

The most likely reason why he omitted the fact that anything else happened is he doesn't want people to dig fear into you, which would make you less likely to hook-up with him again. ;)

i am trying out for cheerleading and i am really pale. my legs are really white, so should i ask to go tanning or should i try something else. i cant go outside to tan cause its like sooo cold out. please help!

Lol hon don't stress at all about it. We're not looking at your legs we're looking at what they can do! A lot of girls, stress over a tan, but what they don't realize is no one else notices. I'm a regular tanner myself, but its become more of a habit more than anything really.

Hiya i have natural wavey hair i normaly straighten it but i want to wear it naturaly wavey but the porblem is that poofs out too much at the sides when it drys has anyone got any ideas to help stop it poofing out.

will rate high for good answers.
thanks xxx

Ok get a pencil and paper, you'll want to write this down.

One of my girlfriends turned me onto this but there's something called the Super Skinny Serum by Paul Mitchell. It should be at a beauty place near you but if you don't have a specialty store around you, just get one at a salon. It's probably the cheapest most effective thing I've used so far. It's $16 at retailers and 20 at salons but worth it and you don't even need a straightener. All you do is hop out of the shower, brush it through, whip the serum in there, and you're done. It also dries your hair in 5 minutes! That's good stuff :)

i love this boy.
he keeps himself completely closed off from the rest of the world.
but i know he hurts inside.
how can i get him to open up to me?

You can't force someone to open up to you and they can't see that you're taking an interest in them with good intentions. Especially if he's usually "closed off from the rest of the world".

He's probably just a quiet, simple kinda guy. If you want him to open up to you, you have to squeeze in the door that remains close. Just because you've taken an interest in him doesn't necessarily mean he has taken an interest or even notice in you.

Throw it out there that you're open to talk. Start conversations with him on a daily bases but don't suffocate him. Showing him you care opens him up to a whole new world of YOU. Remember, you might find out that he hurts in a way that you cannot heal with all the love in the world as you'll realize love doesn't solve everything but starts the problems to begin with.

does anyone know what it means to be "idle" on aim? i'm totally confused by that! lol thanks...

Being idle means the user hasn't been active for the last ___ minutes. This is helpful if someone forgets their away.

heyy okay well i have these 3 BEST friends and they're really cool and everything but .. they're always going out and doing things without me .. i'm always secluded from whatever they do but whenever i'm with them they're really nice ! and plus they are all really pretty and always have great guys in their life and i really don't have many .. what am i supposed to do ?? i'll rate you HiGH if you help me out here !

Maybe your friends don't want you to feel left out while they're with their guys. Just say "Hey let me know when yall are heading to the mall, I need to get some cute PJ's for winter". I'm sure they wouldn't try and ditch you just to be spiteful. Remember, your friends can't read your mind. You should confide in one or all of your friends and let them know how much they mean to you and you want to be caught up with times. By the way, don't always assume they're going out all the time because most of the time they're probably home wishing they had something better to do with you ;)

So my boyfriend & I's 6 months is coming up and I wanted to do something special for him but I don't have any ideas. I'm not really sure if we're going anywhere, we may just stay home.. so I don't really need any ideas of WHERE to go or WHAT to do.. basically I just want to know some cute, creative, and romantic present ideas that I could give to him. Something other than the usual cologne, clothes, cd, scrapbook ((everyone suggets that)) ideas. Hopefully you all can help, THANKS!

Once I had an entire day of taking just a bunch of pictures of eachother around my house and just goofing off. Make sure you squeeze in poses of both of you together as well as individual ones. Don't be afraid to do silly things or get a little closer. We dressed up as charactors, did silly things with umbrellas (don't ask) and then we ran it by the one hour place. It was a lot of fun taking and going through the pictures we took. I still have some of them today :)
