I wouldn't say she's a lesbian. She did, afterall, date Marilyn Manson for a long time.
As far as I'm concerned, she's bisexual. She did have a kissing scene in the movie "Thirteen" with a girl. And yes, now she's living with a girlfriend.

Hi,
does anyone know any websites where I can install t9 or some sort of predictive text onto my cell phone?
I do NOT have windows on my phone(i dont know if that matters or not)

Thanks for anyone who takes the time to read&answer =]]

Most phones have T9 in them already, for instance, in Samsung phones you have to hold down the "*" they, when texting and T9 will turn on/off.
If you could supply is with the make and model of your phone, then maybe I can help.
If you give us no information, we can't help.

--Edit--
I searched around for aggeeesss and I came up with nothing. Try looking around on the options when you're sending a message. Otherwise, I can't help. Because in some of the phone descriptions it said "T9" and in the manual it said nothing about T9 in texting options. And I couldn't find anything downloadable for T9 either.
Sorry, this was quite useless, but it's the best I could do.

Hey any one know of any decent drum and bass?
anything like the first song on this video
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8EEhusFJgP0&feature=fvw
and if you have any wierd collaborations like classical songs or string ochestra drum and bass that would be awesome.

by the way anything like pendulum dont even put it in your answer xD
its a bit cheesey to say the least, the song they did called "Vault" and "9000 miles" was okay but not quite up enough :/

I'd suggest Combichrist, Aphex Twin has some Drum&Bass songs (But "Come To Daddy" is just great, even though it isn't D&B).
I personally don't know any others, HOWEVER, my friend who's a fan, said that this has SO many ones that she loves;

It's actually pretty interesting :)

I hope this helped :)

Okay. I feel my hair growing all over my head insted of the back of it. Is it because i sleep on the back of it everyday?

It could be that, but it could be because of something wrong with your hair cells, so I suggest going to your doctor to check it out.
But for instance, a male friend of mine, who has a very short beard, doesn't grow hair under his chin anymore, because he always rests his chin on his hand. So there's a bald spot there, just because the hair has been rubbed off.

But if it bothers you, you could always try hair extensions.

I lay outside when it's sunny and get a tan. I tan very easily. But my problem is, is that my tan is kind of uneven..i'm darker on my front and back than i am on my sides.

So..how can i make my tan more even?

Change your position and do more active things. For instance gardening in your bikini. I know it sounds a bit sexual, but it really does help you get an even tan :)

i have massive open pores on both of my cheeks. you can see everything, i look like a sponge and its really getting me down. how do i close them??
thanks!

As mention below, use a good scrub, every other day. Also I suggest using a Clinique toner. It got rid of my pores. In case you wear foundation, I suggest wearing as little as possible, if any on your cheeks. Dirt will get clogged in your pores, and they will get bigger. After doing sport, make sure you wash your face properly and ALWAYS take off make up.

After a month or so, if you follow these things, you should see a difference.
If all fails, I suggest going to a dermatologist.

Hope this helped :)

i have my industrial pierced. i've had it for a couple weeks shy of two years. it was perfectly fine, completely healed and everything. well i got a new job about a month ago, and unlike my ex-employers, they make me take it out. so i have to have it open for 4-9 hours about 3-5 times a week now and it's started to aggravate it a lot. the holes are like swollen from having to push it back in every night and my ear is tender. well i finally got a retainer for it today. it just has little rubberband-like things to put over the ends of the bar instead of balls. so my question is, is it safe to just leave the retainer in all the time instead of having to change it out with my regular bar constantly? will the little bands fall off in the bed or shower easily?

It's totally fine to leave in the retainer for a week, but for instance, if you don't work in the weekends, you can put the normal bar in.
With the rubber rings, they might come off in the shower if you're washing your hair, because the shampoo may make it slippery. Easiest thing to do would be to order loads of rings for the bar, just in case.
Also when sleeping, they should stay in, but just before going to bed, check that the rings are in place.

In case you want spare rubber rings, this site is good;

Its the google photoeditor you can download
I've been using this editor (Picasa 3)since around October
And everytime theres an update for it I update
But lately when I 'sharpen' my photos, it doesnt save the sharpen edit
Like I hit 'save' and after a few seconds once it done saving my picture reverts back to how it loooked after its been sharpened
But all my other edits stay

Help please?
I ALWAY sharpen my photos, so telling me not too is bull
And I refuse to use another editor. Picasa 3 is by far the easiest one on the internet

Easiest thing to try would be to uninstall the entire program and then reinstall.
This fixed my problem with another photo editor.
If this doesn't help, I suggest emailing them.

Are energy drinks really bad for you? What are the health risks, if so?

First of all, they are really sugary, so they make you quite fat, also second of all, there are some health risks;

i don't have thin hair or thick hair, more like in the middle (probably closer to thin).
i have front bangs, which i blow dry and usually straighten the ends. (i heard heat makes it more greasy, faster.)

I use Tresemme moisture & remoisture.

however... the problem is, i shower at night, around 8 oclock, dry it by 9, and then when i'm up ready for school at 7am, its already getting greasy.

I took a shower at 11 am yesterday, and it was greasy by 6pm. what shampoo & conditioner can i use so it doesnt get as flat, messy and greasy as quickly? i feel like a mess when i go to school, because everyone else's hair stays cooperative, while mine is pretty gross. (especially when front bangs go greasy - it looks terrible & stringy).

thank you (:

Just to add, try to touch your hair with your hands as little as possible.
So twisting your hair around your finger or running your fingers trough it, generally makes hair get greasier faster :)

And I was about to write what the person below me wrote.

Sorry, this wasn't much but this works.

Hey, Facebook confuses me sometimes. This may sound like a dumb question, but it seems like an awful lot of stuff on facebook is still public, even if you have your profile set to private. Like it still shows "so and so commented on Jane Doe's picture" and then you see their picture even though they're not your friend just because one of your friends commented on it. My question is...

If you send somebody a message (not a wall post), is there any way somebody else could see it, or is it totally private, and just you and the person receiving the message can see it? I would think it would be private, but sometimes Facebook is creepy like that. Please help! Thanks to everyone who responds :)

If you send a private message to someone, as in, under their profile pic it says "Send *Banana* a message" then it's completely private, and only they will see it. Unless of course they show it to other people.

Do more people dislike miley cyrus than like?

I was just wondering because she "seems" popular in america, where I live , the uk, not many people seem to be that keen on her.

So my main question is how popular is she in america, and within in certain age groups do the opinions change on her?

I know this isn't a proper question, but I'm just wondering why she is so popular....

I've been wondering the same thing, and although I don't live in the US, here in Belgium it's strange.
Kids from ages 6-11 love her, well girls do. Every toy store has so much Hannah Montana merchandise it's horrible. But the little girls love it.
In the teenage age group, people generally hate her, with a few exceptions of people who actually like the show and her music.

Hope this helped somehow. :P

On the settings it lets you choose the ability to log onto however many accounts you wish.
