I'm insert name. I've been on this site for a couple of years.I love: playing music, reading, and Jolly Ranchers.
I hate: purple, avocados, and cults.
I tell: the truth.
advice
okay so im a 16/f and i live in houston, texas. and im a junior in high school so im kinda looking at colleges. well i want to go to University of Houston since its close to home and i was wondering what do you have to get on the SAT to get into UH? please give me advice soon thanks!
go to collegeboard.com and search for university of houston, they will give you all kinds of good information about whatever schools you want.
how do you know if you are being annoying while texting? or know if the person is actually interested? how do you know when the person you're talking to doesn't want to talk to you?
they most likely don't want to talk to you if their responses are really short, consistently. and also, if it takes a long time for them to reply. if the person is interested, their messages to you will be as long as or longer than your messages to them. if they're not interested, then vice versa. and if they are interested, they will also reply really fast. they don't want to talk to you if all they say is "yeah" and "oh" and "ok" or whatever.
Ok,I am trying to find a good cellphone to buy....
What plan is best (At&T, T-Mobile, Verizon, Sprint etc.)
and what kind of cellphone works the best? is worth the money?
and what cell phones do you NOT get?
Please Help!
i personally have at&t and have for a very long time. i love it because most of my friends have that too, and it has free mobile to mobile so we save money. as for what cell phone, go to a at&t store and try some of them out. i have a razr and i love it. but you may be different. it depends on what you want and what you will use it for. there's not really a cell phone that you shouldn't get, except i just don't really like lg phones. i'm more of a motorola girl. talk to some of your friends and they will probably give you some input too. look on the websites for the different phone companies and it will give you a price range.
i'm not sure if any other cities [or towns, as the one i'm in] do this, but every friday night at midnight at a local cinema, a theater company puts on the rocky horror picture show. one of my best friends goes almost every week, and this friday we're going. it's always themed, and everyone always dressed really provocativel/slutty. but other than that, i don't really know what it is. is it an actual show, like a play production, or is it a movie [although i know its based on the movies], or what. if anyone has any idea, that would be helpful (:
i was wondering about this too (after reading "the perks of being a wallflower"), and wikipedia.org has a lot of information on it that explained it really well. go there and search for "rocky horror picture show" and you should find it. i think it is like, they show the movie, and during the movie, people shout stuff at the screen or whatever and it's really like scripted or something. but i think there's something embarassing you have to do if you've never been before, so ask your friend about it! i'm being serious, like i heard that they make you dance the time warp or something. haha.
Is "Ginny" short for a different name (a girls name)??
And can everyone PLEASE tell me their favorite boys and girls names??
Thankss soo much!!
i didn't know ginny was short for anything, though jenny is short for jennifer. anyway. my favorite boy names are noah and jonas. i'm not really sure why. my favorite girl name is lily because it was my great grandmother's name. for some reason i really like biblical names like elijah and rachel.
14/f, if it matters (:
i want to find songs like these;
When I Go Down - Relient K
Save Us - Cartel
Gravity - John Mayer
my friend died last friday, her funeral is thursday, and i'm supposed to make a CD of songs like that,
like, rock-ish, but slow songs, and sad.
thanks in advance for any help
i actually have a mix cd of songs like this, but i have no clue where it is.
jeff buckley - hallelujah
jimmy eat world - hear you me
jackson browne - these days
pink floyd - anything from dark side of the moon (if you're into that)
sarah mclachlan - world on fire, or i will remember you
the verve - freshman
bruce springsteen - devils and dust
eric clapton - tears in heaven
i wish i could remember more. i'm sorry for your loss, i am 15/f and had a friend pass away last november. whatever you do, don't ever let the memories fade away.
okay this is kinda weird, but... my little sister doesnt know about masturbation. well i think she kinda knows that guys do it, but she doesnt know that girls can do it too. i feel like she should know about it, but theres no way i could even mention it to her. but she likes to read, so i was thinking i could get her a book that would talk about it. does anyone know of any books that cover that topic? not one of those "all about your body" kind of books (she wouldnt read that), but like a story/novel for teenage girls that just happens to have that in there somewhere. so she could read about it and get the idea for herself.
i'm not sure which book, but get her to read judy blume books.
ok, so I can't pick up my report card from the school because I have to be away and the vice principal said it's ok for a friend to pick up my report card if I give him the permission note. But I don't know what I should write on the note, does it have to be professional?
"dear [principal],
i, [name], give permission to [friend's name] to receive my report card on [date] due to my unavoidable absence. thank you.
sincerely,

Hey! Well I'm looking for new sneakers, and they have to be flyyy lol. So I was looking at these:
http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/shopping/product/detailmain.jsp?itemID=29874&itemType=PRODUCT&iMainCat=121&iSubCat=557&iProductID=29874
^^what do you think?
Additional suggestions would be greatly appreciated :]].
ooh, i really like those. i'm not really a fan of purple, but i like the grey a lot. those look like they would go with a lot of different outfits. have you ever tried rocket dogs?
anyone know how to make like fruit punch?
foodtv.com. search under recipes for fruit punch, they will have a ton of recipes with different flavors and stuff.
Yesterday I went up to the college I'll be starting in the fall. I registered for my classes and what not. There were other freshman there too. No one knew each other, but by the end of the day they were all talking with one another. I didn't say a word all day. No one said anything to me. I'm not saying it's all their fault. I should have spoken up and joined in the coversation, but I'm too scared I guess. I'd love to go up and start a conversation with someone, but I'm always worried they'll just look at me weird and wonder why I'm talking to them.
I'm not exactly shy, I'm just never the one to start a conversation, you know? I don't know where to start or what to talk about. On the other hand, if someone approached me, I'd talk with them no problem. So how can I fix this? I'm worried that if I wait for people to come to me I won't meet anyone. The whole reason I wanted to go away to college was so I could meet new people, but it's harder than I thought I guess.
Suggestions?
i'm the same way, and here's what i do... i walk up to a big group and say:
me: hi, i don't know any of y'all, i'm [name], where are y'all from?
other people: hi, we're [names] from [places] blahblah
me: cool, [bring up something cool about where they're from].
if they don't really know each other yet, then they probably feel the same way you do. so when you tell them a little bit about yourself, like your name and where you're from, they can start to talk to you. and that's like having somebody approach you, right? it makes things easier. don't wait for people to go to you.
I have an interview tomorrow morning to be a tennis instructor for a girls jewish camp. The man on the phone told me it would be 12 kids at one time. My dad says do not accept minimum wage ($7.15 an hour or something like that) He said $12-13 an hour is fair because its so many kids at once. Do you agree with him? How would i go about letting the guy know in the interview? I was planning on telling him how i've played tennis from 7th-12th grade for the school and how i coached t-ball so i can handle a lot of kids at once. I think i should ask how much i would get paid an hour..and if he says 7$ an hour what should i say? My dad says i should tell him i wont do it for less than 10 or 12 an hour.
Other tips on what to wear is also appreciated. Would you wear sporty clothes or nice clothes like dress pants?
18/f
thanks!
firstly, minimum wage is 5.15, not 7.15 (sucks, right?) telling him your tennis experience/coaching experience is awesome, don't be afraid to brag. how else is he going to know what you can do? go ahead and toot your own horn. ask about wages after you tell him how cool you are. just say, "what will my hourly wage be?" and here is how the conversation might go...
you: what will my hourly wage be?
him: i was thinking that i could pay you [not as much as you want] an hour.
you: i think it would be more fair if my hourly wage is [make an offer] because i will be responsible for so many childen.
don't waltz in there and be like, "i won't take less than 12 bucks an hour and if you can't deal with that then screw you!" or anything, haha. be willing to negotiate. and if he can't make you an offer, you have a choice... pass up the job (you won't find better pay elsewhere, at 18) or deal with it and possibly get a raise later. wear nice clothes, once you get the job then you can wear tennis clothes. honestly, the guy will probably say between 7-9 an hour, and if you want to bargain with him, just make sure that you make your claim clear and that you don't back down, unless he says that he just can't pay you that much. to tell you the truth, i doubt the guy will want to pay you 13 an hour, but negotiating with him is key! good luck :)
EDIT: thank you, and i'm sorry about the misunderstanding, where i live it is 5.15
can anybody help me find some good latino/spanish/other/hispanic films?
here are some ive watched:

- frida
here are some of the ones we watched in spanish this year: selena, fifteen, and benito juarez (this one is not great, haha).
what do you write for yearbook messages? it always takes me forever and i cant even summarize anything up. i know HAKAS is overdone and i know were supposed to write something funny, a special situation you shared with that person. can anyone give me an example? what if random people you dont really know all that well ask you? do you just sign your name? would that be rude?
for people i don't really know, i say something like... "I loved having English with you this year, it was so fun! I'm glad I got to know you better. I hope you have a great summer! -(Name)" if it's one of my really good friends, i'll write down something like "remember that time when we tp'd so-and-so and then drank red bull? hahaha!"
im turning 16 in december.
i want to have a sweet party.
i want it big and nice.
but i have no idea what to do.
can anyone help me out?
thanks.
by the way im a girl.
and it would be a co-ed party.
i was thinking like just a party bus with a bunch of friends but that dosent sound like a lot of fun...
oh, definitely watch mtv's my super sweet sixteen. of course, a small percentage of people can afford to do that, but you can improvise off of that. i saw one where the girl's party theme was completely all white, and it was so pretty! others were luau, polynesian, cinderella's castle, and just different stuff. there is actually a new episode on tonight at like 7 or 8 eastern time. i will definitely be watching it. anyway, if i were you, get a sheet of paper and if you watch the show, write down all the things you like/dislike about that girl's party and then maybe you can get ideas for your party. make sure that your party theme is something that you absolutely love, and that you won't get tired of by this december! it might help to google party themes. but my super sweet sixteen throws the best parties. it would be good if you had a dj so that people could dance and stuff. you don't really have to have a band or performer as long as you have some form of music! i hope it goes really well!
whats a really good shampoo && conditioner 4 hair??(btw im blonde if it helps)
try pantene blonde expressions.
ok
please dont' answer unless you understand what i'm saying! i hate when people do that...
so what i've got right now is as follows:
Ibanez AF75 -> BOSS DS-1 distortion -> Digitech Whammy! octave pedal -> 20 year old Randall bass commander II solid state amp
what i want to do is change the sound i'm getting without having to rework my entire set up, but i'm wanting to add an overdrive or fuzz pedal into that so that i can get a more dirty tone without having to switch from extremely thick distortion on some songs straight to clean. i want a middle- an overdrive or fuzz pedal! but i'm not exactly sure what kind to get, or where to place it in my rig...
thanks
and anyone who answers this automattically gets a five because they understood what i said
go to musiciansfriend.com or guitarcenter.com. boss has a crapload of midrange fuzz/overdrive pedals, and their stuff is high quality. if i were you i would play it after the octave pedal. i've also heard that if you're playing live, to get a natural fatter/distorted sound, you can play through two amps and turn them up really loud. that brings out the fuzz. if you have a guitar center around where you live, or a music store that would know what they're talking about, go consult them about it too. the fuzz and overdrive pedals normally have different settings too so it wouldn't be overwhelming or anything.
Where are some places you can get guitars...but not like really expensive? I just want one to practice...not an electric guitar yet...I just wanna learn how to play...and like under 100 bucks. Thanks to anyone who helps :]
if you have a guitar center store around where you live, that would be the best. look in the yellow pages under music stores, and any of those will most likely have guitars. or, if you're looking online, try ebay.com, musiciansfriend.com, guitarcenter.com, or maybe even wwbw.com. guitar center and musician's friend are probably the best.

I'm a ballerina, and my dance studio doesn't let you wear anything over your leotards (shorts, chiffon skirts, etc. NOTHING). Whenever I wear a tampon (i use playtex sport) with my tights/leotard it leaks onto the tights and you can see the blood around my inner thighs. It's embarassing. I can't wear a pad though because I can't wear underwear with my tights.
What can I do about this?
any advice will help.
get some more absorbent tampons. also, since you're wearing a leotard, you should try wearing a pantiliner, or even getting the pads without wings so nothing shows. is there any way that during rehearsal you can go to the bathroom? probably not, but that's also an option. but they do make pads that you can wear under swimsuits and stuff, they are the same size as pantiliners but more absorbent. i would try those for safety.
