What do boys REALLY like in a girl? All these magazines & stuff say that they love what's inside, not outside. Is this true or is it crap? (link)
|
Stop reading magazines that try to tell you things like that.
Secondly, there is no universal list of things that "boys" want.
In fact, most "boys" don't want anything, so stop worrying about them.
Guys like different things, depending on the individual. Some are very much into looks and could care less about personality and intellect. Others need a girl with brains. Others need a really outgoing girl, while another might want someone who it quiet.
But the universal truth is this - guys like naked chicks.
No, really... I'm not making that up.
You need to decide on what you want in a guy, and what you want in yourself before a guy can decide that he likes what he sees in you.

My friend(not best friend) is moving! What do I do!? She's moving to Florida and she doesn't want to go. her mom is getting remarried. What do i do?
I don't want her to go and she doesnt want to go. (link)
|
Get her new address?
All you can do is learn to deal with it, accept the change, and work hard at maintaining your friendship.

I was shuffling through your column and I am proud of your answers to the "I wanna be a punk" questions because I couldn't quite voice my frustrations to answer them. Kudos to you.
So since I could just IM you or email you or even PM you to tell you this, I should probably ask a question...
Why are people stupid?
;) Have a ball.

Most Beloved Turcita,
People are stupid because they've no brains. It is inconvenient to have to stop and think about their actions, or how what they say and do effects others. Consideration is just too much to ask of some. Much like grammar is too much to ask, because damnit, that would take effort. And good God, who wants that?
People ARE stupid. Sadly, those of us who are not are in the vast minority.
I think baseball bats could cure this predicament, though.

(link)
|
neo-nazi's eh? how special.
Really, it isn't bullshit, as, well, they are her parents, and she's a minor and has to live by the rules they set forward.
Ask yourself this: why do you keep having to "defend your realtionship"? There must be some sort of reason.

I HAVE A RABBIT BUT I HATE RABBITS. I LOVE DOGS, THOUGH. MY GRANDMA (WHOM I LIVE WITH) SAID I COULD HAVE A DOG IF I TOOK CARE OF A RABBIT FIRST. I DON'T WANT TO TAKE CARE OF IT BUT I KNOW I HAVE TO. WHAT DO I DO? I DON'T WANT TO TAKE CARE OF IT BUT I REALLY WANT A DOG. (link)
|
RABBITS ARE TASTY YOU SHOULD MAKE SOME SOUP AND SERVE IT TO YOUR GRANDMA AND THEN CACKLE WITH INSANE GLEE AT THE JOY OF WATCHING HER EAT THE RABBIT THEN YOU CAN SAY, "DAMNIT, GIVE ME A DOG OR I'LL COOK YOU NEXT!"
That, or just take care of the rabbit. The point isn't that you like the rabbit, it is about how responsible you are. If you can't take care of a rabbit, then you can't take care of a dog, as dogs are higher maintinence than rabbits.

If someone posts a question that is just boneheadedly stupid, I do not fear ripping them a new one.
Some people just ask stupid shit, and do it in really stupid ways. I feel no sympathy for people who put so little effort into their own lives.
Don't fear being harsh.
Also, sometimes, its not so much that you're harsh, but maybe sarcastic, and well, that seems to go over lots of people's heads.
People come here and ask things. They can specify who they ask, or they can ask at large. And if they ask at large, then what they get in reply is what they get.. they can take it or leave it.
This should not be a popularity contest.
This should not be about telling people what you think they want to hear.
This is about telling it like it is, and hopefully educating people.
Mind you, I'm probably a weee bit older than most of the people on here (and it shows, eh?) but hey... we're all just trying to offer what we know, right? If someone were just intentionally bashing people constantly, that'd be different.

What does everyone here do to become a better writer? I want to be a writer when I grow up and I want to know if there are any writing excercises to become a better one. I know reading helps...but I'm just always in a writers block because all my writing is the same and it gets frustrating.
Know any way to improve my writing?
Anything...even if you think it sounds stupid.
Thanks! :) (link)
|
The best way to get better at writing is to write.
Seek criticism, but don't try to get it form peers... too often, people's friends are all "wow! that's great!"... which is not at all helpful. Seek out someone that you know write well, and ask their advice.
When I write, I think alot about symbolism, description, a the exact verbage I choose.
If you have writers block, stop writing. Go do something else. I usually go ride my bike for about 40 miles or so... I'm not kidding... and while out riding, I just let the imagination run free... think of whatever comes to mind. If something good comes up, I repeat that to myself over and over until it is memorized... maybe I build upon that concept. And if it is what I'm looking for, I jot it down, maybe to develop it into something more: a short story, the start of a novel, etc.

I am getting a new bass/guitar. It is a washburn. I was wondering if it is hard to learn, or if my fingers will hurt the first few weeks or something. . . Im just curious, please tell me if its easy or hard or if it will hurt my fingers or etc. . .
Bye (link)
|
for god sakes people... it isn't all that hard!
Ok... your fingers will probably get a bit sore, and may blister the first time you play a lot... that's normal... let it happen, don't pop the blisters. This is how you build up callouses.
Washburns are damned nice basses.
If you're really worried about your fingers hurting a lot, use lower guage strings (ask at the music store), and perhaps even get flat-wound strings. That will make the feel of the strings seem "softer" (I mean, their still metal, but flat-wound are smoother than round-wound).
Playing isn't that hard... you can learn easy things very quickly if you are determined and willing to put in the practice.
Advanced techniques come only with time and lots of practice.
I have played bass for 15 years, so some of the others who are offering advice on this, though they mean well, have no clue what they're talking about.
Just take your time, and if you are starting to feel discouraged or frustrated, take a step back and go do something else for a bit. Don't burn yourself out.
If you have any other questions, particularly about bass guitar, feel free to pop me a note on here. I'm more than happy to help out.

All my best friend talks about is her computer! Me & my other friends will talk about what we did over the weekend, and "Ellie" will just talk about gigabites, megabites, and that sort of stuff. We don't understand that sorta stuff at all! How can we get her to talk about normal people stuff, like guys, parties, or even her pets?! (link)
|
first off, that's gigaBYTE...
What else does Ellie have an interest in? Why does it have to be her job to talk about something else... and maybe what you talk about holds no interest for her...
Sounds like you all need to find a common ground. If you're friends, you must have some common interest.

how do u know youself if your a good or bad kisser?help please (link)
|
If you get done, and are covered in your own drool, you are a bad kisser.
If you press so hard that your teeth hurt, you are a bad kisser.
If you attempt to breathe through the other person's nose, you are a demented freak.
If your partner wants to immediately kiss you again, odds are, you're decent.
If all thoughts of both people involved melt away into nothing, you're doing a very good job.
If the person you're kissing suddenly vomits, well, sucks to be you.
If the person you're kissing starts laughing uncontrollably... be very, very worried.
I hope that helps.

I play classical guitar. I left my teacher a few months ago and I'm learning on my own. I need to know how to play sharps and flats on guitar. (link)
| |
accidentals are just a half step up or down from the note that is being sharped... thus, on a guitar, that's one fret up (sharp) or down (flat).
|
ok, this is kinda embarassing, but i heard that the first time you have sex, it hurts (for a girl)
true...false? (link)
| |
Yes, the pain is so excruciating that it can often cause death.
|
Has everyone who posts here forgotten the basic rules of grammer?
Do they not know how to turn off CAPS LOCK?
Do they not know how to capitalise the letter I?
I refuse to answer any question that is unreadable because the author cannot be bothered to write properly. (link)
|
No shit.
This site has gone to shit rather quickly. Sadly, it looks like the questions in general need moderated heavily.
That, or we need to start a man-hunt on stupid people.

i want to do it on prom night but what if my boyfriend forgets a condum i mean should i wait till he gets one or shouldi go make him buy one? (link)
| |
I think that until you learn to spell the word "condom" and also some grammar to boot, that you should probably continue to abstain from sex.
|
|
does it hurt to have sex if it is your first time?i eman is there a lot of pain involed for the girl? (link)
|
