My name is Laura and I'm 28 years old. I live in Illinois and work as a licensed veterinary technician. I am a runner, bookworm and obviously, an animal lover.I've been on this site since '05. I take hiatuses, but I'm never gone for good. I enjoy giving advice and I've made such lovely friends on this site that I couldn't imagine giving it up!
chat it up yo.
ps. here's my bestestestest friend.
I love him. You will too :)
advice
im trying to buy college textbooks. what is the importance of the isbn #?
Different books have different ISBN numbers. Colleges and schools want to make sure you have the right version of the book you need, so they give you the ISBN number to match.
I hope that makes sense?

A really good friend of mine has type one diabetes.
I dont wanna feel rude and keep asking her stuff, can someone explain to me what exactly it is, why it happens, etc? i dont really understand it.
thank you : ]
I don't think it's rude to ask her. If anything, it would show that you care about her. Just tell her your curious and have a few questions, and you were wondering if she'd answer them for you.
Until then:

is it possible or okay to go to schoool looking like this?
if not, then why do people still buy those eyeshadows! for what OCCASSIONS can you possibly wear those colors!
Anything is possible ;]
I personally think it's a bit much, but if you like it then go for it. But some occasions that might be ok for would be a dance of some sort, or a party.

i am 20 years old and i have never madeout with a guy and i am still a virgin and everything. I have kissed a guy but no tongue action. ITs not that i am ugly or anything, it`s just because i havn`t really found anyone or whatever. Sometimes i am kind of embarrased because i never have but do u think guys care if i am a virgin or whatever or do they prefer that because then i am sort of like untouched or do they think that i am a loser because i am still a virgin at 20 and still never madeout with anyone???
Plz Help. Thanks!
I don't think you're a loser at all. If anything, more power to you for sticking to your standards! And Jack is right, the guys who are worth it will find it attractive rather than unattractive =]
-Laura (16-f)
is that unhealthy?
because i prefer to sleep in tampons, but i also end up over using them. if i wear pads, ill bleed all over the bed.
It's unhealthy and not safe. The risk of Toxic Shock Syndrome goes way up when you wear a tampon for longer than 6[ish] hours.
Try going to the store and buying a heavier pad. I think they even make special nighttime ones, too.

practically all my friends are sexually active and im not, ive never had sex. but i dont feel like i really fit in, unless i change my mind set to their perverted minds. like i have to act and talk like them to fit in. but im against that kind of stuff with my beliefs and stuff. so what do i do, continue being friends with those kind of people or make friends who are a little more pg? but its only adultry that im against and almost everyone in highschool talks about who they did, and im just a virgin :/
Don't feel like you have to have sex because your friends are or that you're AT ALL wrong. Stick to your morals and standards.
I wouldn't just dump your friends, though. When they start talking about it, just walk away or tell them you're not comfortable talking about it. You can also try finding some other friends who share your beliefs.

Hey i'm 13 years of age and i am a girl. Im a virgine and i have an amazing boyfriend named Braden. And i want him tooo be my first and he know's so, i was hanginf out with him and he tried fingering me, he like barely touched me and it hurt so so much.. is that normal? But tonight we were going too havbe sex... So i need advice FAST!!!!! Thanks in advance. :D
It is normal because you're a virgin, but if it hurts you and you are at ALL uncomfortable, don't have sex. I personally think you're too young, but you didn't ask for a lecture so I won't give you one.
But please, if you do have sex, practice SAFE sex.

For my summer reading, our essay question is:
Two of the most important modern influences on our language have been the growth of science and communication technology. Why do you suppose science and communication media have been so influential in causing changes in our language? What do you suppose is the nature of those changes?
I really don't know what to say, except that the Internet is causing slang, but that's not completely the whole language. Any help? Thanks!!
That is my EXACT essay question, too. Do you by chance live in Illinois?
Anywho, we cannot write your essay or do your homework for you on this site. However, just think about it. I was stuck for a while doing mine, but when you really think about it and re read the essay you were given with the question [if you have the same assignment as me] it's really not that hard to write it.
-Laura (16-f)
Edit:
Yes, and mine was 2 pages typed. Who is this?
here
1 how do i apply concealer and THEN foundation over it? will it not look CAKEY? isnt it tooo much? how do i make my face look flawless with those two? instead of making it look like im wearing "Too much makeup"
2 whats a really cheap no 20 dollars is NOT CHEAP for like a foundation primer? under ten dollars only i desperately need one [p.s. I DONT HAVE A JOB!]
3 WHATS a lipgloss you girlies would recomment that has a nice smooth application and nice color , lasts ALL DAY IS A MUST, and does NOT fade?
4 IF i had the bright colors of eyeshadow, how can i play it up with my eyes? i dont wanna look like A PARROT!
thanks, please take your time to answer im tryina be good with make up.
if you have any more tips and tricks and like secrets about makeup, please share them with me =]
love,
soon to be makeup artist =]!
1. Use a power, and then use a liquid foundation/concealer. That's what I've found works best. Don't use a lot, only as much as you need. Less is more =]
2. I don't use foundation primer, or even really know anything about it so I can't answer this question.
3. Beauty Rush by Victoria's Secret. Hands down my favorite lip gloss out there.
4. Use only a LITTLE bit. Don't load it on so you look like a Barbie. And use colors that work well with your skin tone.
hope it helps =]

- The Exorcist.
- The Messengers.
- The Hills Have Eyes.
- Final Destination [1, 2,3,4 etc]
- Awake.
- Child's Play [1,2,3, etc]

i have been talking to this boy this whole summer and now im hearing from some girl that he said i was just a summer fling. i dont know what to think because through the school year we never talked but he had a girlfriend that whole year anyways. now he keeps asking me to be his girlfriend and i just say im not sure yet. im not sure if i should still talk to him or let him go?
I'd talk to him. Like the columnist below said, girls can be really catty and mean when they want to be.
The only way you can know what this guy really feels/felt is to ask HIM about it, not to believe "some girl".

I need a lil help, this is the first time that i've had a Bf and he is allready saying that he loved me, and i dont feel the same i like being with him i am gust not in love. I dont know what to do i am taking a week to think alone, because we've been spending alot of time together. Its gust i dont know if i am ready to be in a relationship with someone, or if i like being single to much >_< i am so confused and the last thing i want to do is hurt him cuz he is really caring. i gust really need some help or advice because i know after this week i'm gonna tell him everything thats on my mind and how i feel... i gust dont know what the right this to do is.
If you're uncomfortable in the relationship, end it. It's not fair to either of you if you're only staying with him to avoid hurt feelings. There's no way TO avoid hurt feelings.
If you don't want to end things with him, just talk to him about it. Explain to him that you DO like him, but you're just not IN LOVE.
People throw around the word love like it's nothing, and I'm glad you're not doing it.

theres this one kid who likes me like alot, he always calls me and texts me but i just dont feel the same way about him. and whenever he says stuff, i just dont respond back to it.
what should i do.
i dont want to hurt his feelings..
but i also dont want to lead him on..
The only thing you can do is be honest with him. Let him know that you just want to be friends, and nothing more. Just explain to him that you don't feel the same way about him, but you don't want it to hurt the friendship you have now.
I know it hurts, but it's the best thing to do =/

Hey! So tomorrow is the 1st day of school and I'm going to be a sophomore. Now, I know I shouldn't be that scared because last year was the 1st year of high school. Trust me I was freaking out last year also. I'm going to the same school and all, but every year since 7th grade(middle school) I have freaked out about school. And it's basically about the classes. I get soooooo scared about how hard the classes are going to be, because some of my friends took them last year and they say the teachers are mean, and the homework and class is hard. And now every year, like I said since middle school, I have been freaking out. I'm a super perfectionest(??). Everything with me has to be "perfect" or else I freak out. I worry that if I don't get All A's and B's that I won't get into college, and my GPA won't be high enough. I'm not the smartest person ever, but I do get A's and B's. I suck at taking tests. Seriously. I get mainly F's and D's on tests, but what keeps my grades up is the homework, which I don't always do so hot on eaither. I just don't know what to do. I've tried telling myself that everything will be ok, and everyone goes though this and has to go through high school, but for some reason I just keep worring. I get sooo stresed out about things, and sometimes when I think about it too much I tend to get really hot. It's weird. Do I have a problem? And what should I do about school? I know, and I tell myself, that I was super scared last year and I did fine. But I just don't know what to do!!!! Is something wrong with me? I don't know what to do about homework, grades, and teachers eaither! Pleasee help me! Sorry this was so long! Thanks!
You have to calm down. If you freak yourself out, you're much more likely to do bad in school.
Just take a deep breath, and FORGET everything your friends said. I was a sophomore last year, and I think it was A LOT easier than freshman year. Sure, the classes were harder, but I committed myself and did just fine and I'm sure you will, too.
What you should do this year, is commit yourself and develop good habits. Take notes in class, do your homework, study for tests. I know, it's not fun, but it is SO worth it.

I need to think of a going-away present for my boyfriend who is going to California for a surfing competition, and right after that college in another city. I need something that he'd actually like or use. Some of his interests are surfing, photography, frisbee and music.
ANY suggestions are helpful, because I don't have a clue...
btw, I have very limited time to think of something
You can always make him something!
How about making him a collage of pictures since he likes photography? They can be of the two of you, and things that might only make sense to the two of you. Just a big collage of pictures would be really unique.
Or you can make him a mix cd with all of your/his favorite songs on it. That's always a cute idea. You can even do both ;]
