I am the Turc, formally known as Kristin. I helped start this website, what seems like many years ago! Woo!
I'm a college sophomore, music ed major (all of the academics-relationship-extracurriculars-applying to college-switching your major-stuff), a musician, and a hardcore music fanatic. I am very quirky. I love Disney movies. I love giving advice. I also love reading, writing, movies, music, computers, piano, etc etc. I'm very honest, up front, and even blunt about some things. I'm pretty opinionated, but I know when to shut up. I like playing football and watching PSU football, as well as basketball, volleyball, and baseball in general. I know lots of stuff and like sharing my knowledge, and I tutor, so I'm all for the helping people with homework thing. :)
Go ahead and ask me questions... I'll do my best!

Ok, I'm in college and I want the fine ladies to know they are fine and that I know they are fine. How do I go about this? (link)
|
Don't scare them.
Scary behavior would include staring, stalking, random licking, etc etc.
I'm totally for real.

I work in a cinema and part of my job is to make sure that people don't talk or mess around because it disturbs the other customers.
It would help me a lot if you guys would say how you think I should react in the following circumstances.
1) Group of people talking,throwing popcorn.
2) Two people making out.
3)People walking up and down the aisles a lot.
4) Little kids sitting in the aisle because they're too short too see over peoples heads(against fire regulations)
5)People with their phones on(messes up the sound)
6)Teenage boys wanking in the back row(has happened to me before)
7)People waiting outside banging on the doors to come in whilst a films on.
8)People making obscene gestures/giving me verbal abuse.
9)Having a queue, knowing we are going to run out of seats.
10) Babies crying.
Could continue but I think I've given you the general idea-my job is hard work! (link)
|
1) Ask them politely to shut up and quit throwing popcorn. If they throw popcorn of you, make them clean it up. It may be a good idea to consult the manager before doing so.
2) If it's really gross, tap one of them on the shoulder. Or use a flashlight. Try to be polite. If they're just sort of kissing and it's not that crowded, I'd probably let it go. If the movie ended ten minutes ago, however, maybe flick the lights a few times.
3) Ask them if they'd rather sit in the back to be closer to the exits.
4) Tell them to sit on their parents' laps. Or just explain the fire regulations thing. They should understand that.
5) Tell the theater at large at the beginning of the film to shut off their phones. If someone's phone goes off, politely tell them that they should either turn their phone off or leave.
6) Get your manager. :-\
7) What are they, stupid? Tell them they can't get in while the film's running. Der, some people. *rolls eyes*
8) Get your manager.
9) :-\ Ask your manager. Heh.
10) Ask the parents politely if they could please take their child outside to calm them down.
This may not be the best advice to value, as I'm not the movie theatre employee etiquette guru or anything, but hey, I try. :) Good luck to you!

I really like this guy. He has a great sense of humor and makes me laugh all the time and he is one of those "nice guys". He could go out with any girl and I just don't see how I would be good enough for him, but he flirts with me all the time. I know that that doesn't have to mean anyhing but I'm comfused. How do you tell if he is interested?
(link)
|
First of all, don't pull the "he's too good for me" stint. You are worth any guy's time, so don't try to fool yourself.
Secondly, study his behavior around other girls. Does he flirt with everyone, or just with you? If he flirts with everyone, he's just a friend; but if it's just you he's seeking more.

I want to dye my hair blue... no... I MUST dye my hair blue! bright blue! the problem is that I have dark hair and I've never dyed it before and I think I have to bleach it blonde first then dye it blue for the color to show up. Is that going to ruin my hair and make it all crackly and nasty? (link)
|
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
I can actually answer this question, because my ex-boyfriend not only dyed his hair blue, he dyed it pink as well.
Yes, you do have to bleach it first in order for the color to stay or even show up.
No, it shouldn't make your hair all crinkly and gross, especially if it was healthy before.
Use conditioner. Good luck. Post pictures. :)

Unless you are into the swallowing spiders while you sleep thing, I would say yes.

how do you do corn rolls lol (link)
|
Are you talking about "corn rows" maybe?
You braid your hair back. *shrugs* I've done it before to my hair, and I'm blonde, so my mom decided to call me BoDerek and I haven't done it again. Heh.
|
you answered my question before and i have already went out wiht him before and i broke up with him and he knew that i still liked him but when he met my friend he was all over her and he was saying to his friends afterward that he *scored with her (but it so not true) and he was only doing that to get me jealous and another reason why he was pushing her away is because she is to touchy with him and he's prude lol and plus becasue i heard that he still likes me and is jealous of my closer friends that are guys so that's another reason.
=^..^= ~Pamie~ (link)
|
If you know he still likes you, why did you ask a question?
For real, I think I said this before, but if he's treating people like crap let him go. Seriously.

Last week our school had a dance. I went and we all had fun, just hanging out, talking, laughing, and then we decided to dance. At first we were just dancing, but then the slow songs came on. All my friends have boyfreinds/girlfreinds, and my freind, whom we will call bob, and I were just standing there. We are very good friends,he asked me to dance, so I said sure, why not? He thought we were dancing as friends, I thought so too. We are just friends. There is this girl though, and now she is totally pissed off at us for dancing. When she's talking to a group, and I try and say something, she'll just say: Nobody cares, Hawley. I just give her a dirty look and start talking, I don't care what she says. BUt she's really being a total bitch to *Bob* and I, and it's pissing me off. How the hell do I get her off my case when she won't even listen to us? (link)
|
Explain to her one-on-one that you and Bob are just friends. Dancing is a non-committal thing. She needs to understand that. Ask her if she's ever danced with her dad, that sort of thing.
That said, I suspect she has a crush on Bob, since she's all mad at you. I tell you to talk to her one-on-one because in a group setting, she'll be more defensive about it.

A friend of mine is getting married in a few months, and all she talks about is her freaking wedding. She's so annoying I just want to smack her. Some of our other friends feel the same way, others are all into this wanting to help plan and decorate and buy pretty white crap that I can't get excited about at all, because I'm just not a pretty white crap kinda girl.
She used to be so cool and normal, we'd talk about what was going on in the world, fun weekend activities, etc. Now she's wedding 24/7. What's wrong with her? How do I shake her out of cinderella land and get my friend back? (link)
| |
Hopefully, this is a once in a lifetime thing for your friend. This will be the only time in her life she'll get to be excited about the tiniest details of the "best day of her life"-- so let her be excited. Let her have her fun until the wedding, and then I can almost guarantee that the "pretty white crap" stuff will end. Let it take its course, and try to understand, since you claim to be such a good friend. After the wedding everything will be back to normal.

This probably sounds really dumb but oh well. I have dance lessons three times a week(and this is active dance with jumping, not just walking around and moving arms or swaying on the spot) and I have two soccer practices a week and a game. I also have gym class twice a week for an hour and I try my best unlike some people. I walk 3k per day to school and back and according to my friend's mom 'eat like a bird' which I don't think I do. I'm 13 and weigh 110 pounds. I have friends that are my height and weigh about 90 pounds. Their excercise is gym class. That's it. I know for a fact they don't diet and aren't anorexic or bulimic. They eat more than me.
I also know a girl in my dance class who does everything I do plus lacrosse and an extra conditioning practice with her team for soccer. She eats about the same amount as me but is obese. How the hell does that work? I don't really care but I'm just curious! (link)

It's all about the metabolism. Bone structure has a lot to do with these things too, I think. Genes also have a bit to do with your weight. Everyone grows at a different rate, as well. There are a lot of different factors.

Ok this guy i like (i kinda already told ya about this) well he's going out with my best friend and he tells me that he loves her and i don't understand why he's telling me this and when i hang around a couple of friends (really close guys) and he gets really mad and when his girlfriend wants to hug him or somehting and he sees me by a close (guy) friend he pushes her away and goes storm out the door. so do you think he still likes me??
=^..^= ~Pamie~ (link)
|
I think you guys aren't mature enough to date.
First of all, look at the way he's treating your best friend. That's a pretty good indication of how he'd treat YOU if you ever went out. Secondly, she's your best friend, and you shouldn't let her be treated that way.
THIRDLY, would you honestly pick a guy over your best girl friends? Relationships during adolesence have a .0000000001% chance of surviving to marriage. Friendship can last a lifetime.
I don't think it's a matter of whether he likes you or not, that's not the big issue here. The bug issue is whether he is ready to date or not. You need to look at this from different angles in order to see the whole picture.

Hey I was wondering if anyone who is on my advice column would answer this:
Ok if i like this guy who i've liked for along time and he's going out with someone what do i do lol
=^..^= ~Pamie~ (link)
|
.....Like someone else?
Or wait until he breaks up with the girl?
For real, there's not much else you can do, except for dealing with it.

Okay. Here's the story. First I'll introduce the people that are involved or I will lose you. Rose is our age but went to a private school about an hour away this year. Another girl, Emily is still going to this school. Her sister Julianne just started going to our school and likes Billy. Last year, Billy liked Rose and found out that he liked her too. They didn't go on any dates or anything and Rose hasn't seen him since the end of the school year. Now, Billy likes Emily. Rose still thinks he likes her. Billy was going to ask Emily to the school dance last week but he didn't get the nerve to. For the first slow dance, he danced with Julianne. After Julianne, he danced all the dances wth Emily. Now Julianne is really jealous and not speaking to Billy or Emily. It may not seem like this is my business but i was there and witnessed it all and Billy asked me post it here after he heard about the site because his computer has a virus. He wants to know how to tell Rose he doesn't like her and how he should fix things up with Julianne and Emily and him. Any ideas? And I hope this made sense. (link)
|
Who's to say YOU'RE not Billy??? ;) Heh.
Uhm... Julianne will probably be jealous for a while, but she'll get over it. If he likes Emily he should go for it and when Rose finds out, she may ask him why he doesn't like her, and he should be straight on honest and tell her that he hadn't seen her for a long time and it was time to move on. *shrugs* I'm all into the tell it to their face method.
Also, tell "Billy" to get his compluter fixed. :-P

I'm on my period and have really awful cramps. What's the best drug to take? Aspirin? Tylenol? I'm tempted to just take them all. (link)
|
Don't take them all! You'll die!!
Midol is always a good bet, as is Pamprin. There are medicines aimed directly for cramps... Just spend a little time in the med aisle when you can think clearly and it doesn't feel like someone is punching you repeatedly in the gut. :)

my friends are telling me I shouldn't even try to be friends with my ex boyfriend because that never works, but I think it can sometimes. what do you think? (link)
|
I think your friends are full of bull crap. :)
Sure, there are situations where you get irreversibly hurt and the easiest thing to do is avoid your ex in order to avoid a total blowup or breakdown... but it's extremely easy to stay friends with your exes if you broke up on good terms, and even if you didn't. I'll give you a few examples...
I went out with a guy, not once, but TWICE, and we're still excellent friends, and we talk all the time, and stuff. He's like my best friend, only he's a guy, and I've kissed him before, heh. :)
I went out with a different guy a few years ago and the breakup was not a pleasant experience... we've each hurt each other a few times, but each time we got through it and we're still really good friends. Fun times.
It is quite possible to stay friends with an ex... just be careful. If you broke up for a good reason, don't get too attached to him again, because that's when it hurts. Be friends, but that's all.

I want to have a party and I want to serve cheese, but I don't think plain old cheddar is very classy or interesting. What are some other good cheeses I can serve just cut up as cubes, that people might not have tried before but will still like? (link)
|
Um....... provolone?
Go to the cheese store and ask them, heh. :)
|
|
Ok, there's this guy that I really like. We are good friends and I've known him most of my life. I don't know if I should ask him out or leave our friendship how it is and maybe look for other guys...(ok, I'm not from the US so I have no idea how your grade system thing works but I'm 16...not really young...). Anyways. (link)
|
First of all-- do you really "like him" like him? Or do you just like him like you love your best friend? Or do you just love him like a brother? You need to determine a difference, if you think you like him in a different way than you actually do, things could get screwed up.
If you're good enough friends, talk to him about it.
If you're not comfortable enough to do that, give subtle flirting hints-- if he doesn't get the picture, move on. If he does, it's a win-win situation. w00t!

I have to drink coffee every day to survive. I don't drink a ton of it, probably two cups a day in the morning. My friends and I used to have a day we'd call "detox thursday" where we wouldn't drink coffee all day, but I was starting to hate detox thursdays because I felt tired and grumpy all day so I quit doing it with them. Does this mean I'm addicted? Is coffee really that bad for me? It's way better than soda, right? (link)
|
Der, you're addicted to caffeine. That's no better than soda. Most sodas are caffeinated. So technically, no, it's no better than soda.
Plus, it stains your teeth and gives you stinky breath! And what fun is that!
You need to wean yourself off this coffee, and you could even become like me and cut caffeine out of your diet altogether. I'm much happier without it. :)
