hiyuhh. my name is annie.
and i'm sort of a big deal.

advice

I dont understand how to put on the column backgrounds suggested by Advicenators! I just need help understanding what to do! For example: It says put the copied code into the option box...but I dont see an option box. Please help!

First, go to Page Backrounds (Below where it says WELCOME (USERNAME). Look at all the pretty colors; they should have a URL name in the middle of them (the darker backrounds are harder to see, so you might hafta hilite them to see them). Hilight the URL name and right click it and press COPY. Then, go to COLUMN SETTINGS and scroll towards the bottom or the page to where it says Pick backround image (URL) there should be a blank white space there. Right click that white space and click PASTE. When you're done updating the column settings click SUBMIT COLORS at the bottom of the page. Hope that helped u! :)

me and my best friend have been best friends for like 4 years and we now go to different schools and we still talk but not a lot and we ain't as tight as we used to be for some reason. well probably because of the whole school switch thing but anyways we both agreed that we need to start getting tight again. how should be start becoming really close again? what should we do or go? im really confused. i need GOOD really good advice not bullshit that doesn't make any sense, thanks so much!

Plan a sleepover with just the two of you, and you guyz can like do each others nails hair etc. Go to the mall for a giant shopping spree. Ride your bikes or rollerblade together(if the weather's nice). Or, if you like it when there's a larger crowd, have a small party with friends you met from your new school and ask her to bring some of her close friends from her school. Or if you guys haven't seen each other in a while, send her a cute card or e-card to let her know how special she is to you. Whatever you do, have fun and let her know how great of a friend she is!

ok last monday i fell off my bike cuz the chain broke. i hurt my elbow badly. its been getting better, so today i was watching a movie in my room. i was leaninng on my elbow pretty hard, when all of a sudden i felt this gigantic pain and felt like my elbow was about to crack. what do you think happened? im soo confused rite now and my elbow is aching. please help me and i'll rate you in return :)

If you really have fractured your elbow (eek!), you should feel the pain spreading up and down your arm, and the pain should either be nonstop, excruciating pain, or sharp pains, then no pain, then sharp pain, etc. Try bending your arm at the elbow and unbend it, do this a couple times. If the pain is so severe that you can't do this, then ask your mom to take you to a doctor. Also, be sure to ice your elbow and don't lean on it or move your arm too much. As for your bike, next time you ride it, make sure the chain isn't rusty (oil the chain, or ask a parent to do it), because rusty chains are more prone to breaking. Feel better soon! :)

For four years I have lived in my house thats like seculded. No neighbors, and Its really private. Well now were moving into this well rich community. Its kindof stepford wive-ish. Where all the people that live there get together and have fashion shows, partys etc. It sounds pretty fun but kinda stupid too. I mean there is a Hoedown coming up in October, and since were new my older siter wants to go. I know it would be a good place to meet people, but a hoedown? Like I think old people are gonna go haha. I'm just wondering, should I go? Also since this is a rich community, I think that the people living there are kinda snotty stuck up rich people. And my family is soo not like that. So what I'm asking is, should I get involved in the stuff? I dont know..My family doesn't like to get involved much..Thanks

Okay, so a hoedown does sound kinda stupid (haha). But if your family doesn't like to get involved, then you need to get out of that habit. Since you have moved, this is a new chance to meet new people and make a good first impression. My advice on this one is to go to the Hoedown. Not to square dance, but to meet new people. Just grab a pair of blue jeans and put some braids in your hair (if you're a teenage girl!) and smile, be friendly, and try to have fun! You never know who you might meet there! But if you're not having good luck there, you can go home. At least you tried :) But still go to community events, incase people your age are there, so you can socialize! Good luck, hunny :)

my cousin is really overweight she was over earlier this night and she was telling me about how she wants to kill herself because ever one teases her about how fat she is. its really hard for her to find clothes and she feels like she shouldnt be alive i guess. shes only 14 in 9th grade and weighs im guessin 230. she hates bein around people cause they always pick on her, and she hardly goes out of the house and last year she hardly went to school because of it. can you guys help me out by giving me some excercizes she can do or what not to eat? and should she see a doctor? because they think she might have thighroids or something. thanks. also how long would it take her to lose like 35 pounds?

Go to www.southbeachdiet.com For more information about the South Beach Diet. It's more effective than the Atkins Diet and plus, it's a TON more healthier than Atkins. Make sure to tell her to jog for 30 minutes each day and also, this exercise really helps:

Pilates Sit-ups
Lie down on your back and stick your legs straight in the air (or diagonally, whatever works).
Lift your head and upper back so that your head is almost touch your knees.
Raise your arms so that they are parallel to the ground (and next to your hip-bones).
Keeping your arms in the parallel position, raise them up and down at the same time (do this SUPER FAST). Each time your arms go down count that as a pilates sit-up.
Do 100 pilates sit-ups (count to ten ten times, it makes the time seem to pass faster)

When you feel like you need quicker results, do 200 pilates sit-ups at a time, or 300, 400, etc.

I have MANY more exercise routines, just Instant Message me or E-Mail me, (both my screen name and email are in my advice column) or drop one in my inbox. :)

hope that I helped u, good luck sweetie! rate me please! lol

Im trying to go on a diet where i eat just meat and veggies and NO BREAD! but its not working! becauz all day i was craving a sandwhich so i ate one and of course on bread! i need help to stick on a diet!

Okay sweetie, one thing you might want to know: Bread contains carbohydrates, which are really good for you. This is how it works: bread, pasta, cereal, and other grain foods contain carbohydrates, which is great if you exercise. When you exercise, your carbohydrates burn off (along with calories), then the saturated fats burn off after the carbs burn off. So that is how you lose weight. It's great if you cut down on carbs, but don't stop eating bread altogether, because if there is no carbs to burn off when you exercise, the fat won't burn off either (if your goal is to lose weight or something like that). Don't eat white bread (i.e. Wonderbread, or any other white bread). Eat the kinds of breads that are good for you. Try eating Natural Ovens Bread; it tastes really good toasted and with peanut butter on top. Or eat any other whole wheat bread. If you absolutely hate whole wheat bread, go for the Natural Ovens "Better White" bread, it's a LOT better for you than regular white bread (available at grocery stores, but definately at Jewel Osco). Don't eat a ton of carbs, just eat a few. And whatever you do, be very healthy :) hope I helped >>rate me to tell me how much i helped please:)

I've liked this guy for over a year now. He's an awesome friend, but once you do one thing that makes him mad, he's really rude! I've been told COUNTLESS times to get over him, but I just can't!! He means the world to me... and I just want to show him that without scaring him off or anything. We went out like a year ago for a while, and he was great, but I made the mistake of breaking up with him. I want to go back out with him, and I don't want to get over him. I'm not looking for an answer to get over him!!! I just need help on what to say to him!

aww, honey that sounds like a rought time for you. I'd say your best bet is to walk up to him and say in a kind voice-tone, "Hey, I know that we've had an up-and-down relationship, but I realized that dumping you was a mistake, and I'm sorry. I really do like you, and I'd really like it if we could go out again." But be humble and not too forced, otherwise he'll feel pressured, so end your speech like this: "If you don't want to start our relationship back up, I'll understand, but I just wanted to let you know that I still like you." Don't be shy confronting him, just relax and feel confident, because you still really like him, and you don't want to miss your opportunity to get back together with him.

Good luck! :)

Ok, well this guy and I just started going out. I like him so much and he likes me too obviously. Well we've only been going out for a day. Today at school I acted all weird. I mean I like him a lot but he makes me shy. I didn't talk to him much and tried to avoid him a little. I really want us to work out as a couple. What do you guys think I should do in order to not be shy and talk to him and such. I have had boyfriends so its not like I'm stupid, this guy just makes me shy like no other boyfriend has. Thanks :)

Awww, that's sweet! lol. It seems to me that you both have really strong feelings for each other. You probably like him a lot more than your previous boyfriends. Just talk to him and smile (but not one of those creepy smiles lol) and try to relax around him. Shyness is pretty much ALWAYS mistaken for unfriendliness, so if you're shy around him and avoid him regularly, then he'll think you don't like him anymore. Everytime you go to see him, just deeply inhale and exhale and count to ten to calm down. Talk about what you guys had for homework, about your crazy math teacher, give him a compliment, anything! And maybe he's a little shy around you or intimidated around you, so make sure that you're super friendly and welcoming to him as well. :)

nun of mi friendz r cheeleaders and i wanna b 1. idk if i should try out wut if they make fun of me or say its not like hott n stuff. wut do i do?? nd plz dont say dont care wut they think. my friendz r very open nd honest.

If you love cheerleading that much then just go for it! I mean, they're your friends, they'll accept you for who you are. And plus, they might not even make fun of you, 'cause you just said, "wut if" which means there's only a small chance they might. Don't worry, even if they do occaisonally tease you, I'm sure they're not trying to hurt your feelings or anything :) good luck sweetie

~Beccah~

Simply tell your seventh grade friend to like, um tell the ninth grader that you like him too and then later, walk up to him and talk to him! Just be like "Hey, whatsup? I like your shirt" or somethin like that and don't be afraid! Hey, he already likes you, so what's there to be afraid of? :) good luck sweetie

My friend * Ashlyn* is trying to tell me her boyfriend told her he is a vampire and i dont think she is lying for some reason and her cousin is going around the High school calling her a blood sucker what should i do i dont know if i believe her or not do you ???

If your friend has never lied to you, I would believe her. But maybe her boyfriend is lying to her. I would tell *Ashlyn* to end relationships with her boyfriend. I mean, him telling her he's a vampire is like super creepy. hope i helped

Hey, I have a question about my hair. My hair is naturally wavy, but not curly. When I try to blow-dry it straight, it never comes out right, and one side of my head is wavy, and the other is straight. Sometimes I straighten my hair, but I don't really have a ton of time in the morning to do that. Do you have any suggestions of what I should do with it (Possibly even something I could do at night and sleep with it, or something I could do in the morning but it won't take too much time)

Try using that John Frieda frizzease stuff. Just smoothy smooth all over your hair then blow dry your hair and it's straight! Except John Frieda products are pretty expensive, but my friend has hair that sounds like how your hair is, and she uses this frizz-ease stuff, except it's at Jewel and it's Jewel brand, so if you want to save some money, go for the Jewel stuff. Hope I helped :)

Ok, I have blue-ish eyes with green around my pupil. I have tan skin. School is starting soon and I wanna make my eyes stand out. Like when I'm walking down the hall, I want people to turn around and be like "Who's that girl". What kinds of colors of eye makeup such as eye shadow, mascara, and eyeliner should I use. I'm going into the 8th grade also. Please help! Thanks

Apply a bright eyeshadow color, like a shimmery turquoise or a shimmery green or maueve (shimmery bright colors work the best.) You can get these at http://www.maccosmetics.com. And when you apply eyeliner go for a light brown and don't overdose because you're already wearing bright eyeshadow (and you don't wanna look like a hooker). Also, go for a dark brown mascara. I know Estee Lauder and Sky High Curves look great. Just go for a simple lip gloss since your eyes are already emphasized. Hope I helped :)

is wakling just (or close) as good for you as running? like can i loose weight from walking 20 minutes a day or does it have to be running? thanks i rate!!

Walking is awesome for you! Walking for 20 minutes each day can burn somewhere around 100 calories! Maybe you want one of those odometers to keep track of how many miles you walked, that might help (Odometers are available at sports stores)

Hello from a fellow red head :)

I have a few questions that only a redhead like you can answer

1.) How light are your eyebrows?
2.) Do you wear eye makeup
3.) Do you have freckles? If so, have you ever used lemon juice to make it lighter?

Thanks

Yay, someone I can relate with! lol my eyebrows are like super duper light, maybe a strawberry blond, so I like to put Vaseline on them to make them look darker, or take a light brown eyeshadow and apply it to my eyebrow with an anglebrush (www.maccosmetics.com).
Yes, I like to wear eye makeup, for eye shadow I like to wear a light maueve or a peachy apricot color looks really good; I have blue eyes, so those colors might not look too good for you if you have different color eyes. If you have green eyes, peachy apricot looks really good too, or a shimmery green eyeshadow looks awesome with brown eyes. And, if you're not sure, it's always safe to go with the natural makeup colors (light brown, light pink, etc.). And great news! A new type of mascara just came out, and it's called MASCARA FOR REDHEADS, and it's supposed to match our hair colors! awesome! I'm not quite sure where to get this, but check at a decent makeup shop and see. If you can't find this mascara, just go with the dark brown.
Yes, I do have freckles, and I have used lemon juice on them, and I've added lemon juice to my foundation and it works great, but it's not the best thing for your skin, so be sure to moisturize after the juice dries. Also, if you emphasize other features of your face, you really can't notice your freckles (try applying a dark lipstick and liner, or a shimmery turquoise eyeshadow with a light eyeliner, but try not to overdose). Also, a light foundation that matches your skin covers them up, or apply a light shade of bronzer.

Hope I helped :) redheads rule! lol drop one in my inbox if you have any more Q's

Ugh, this is so discusting, but how do you get rid of dead skin cells on your face, like after you have a pimple or somthing, without having to go out and buy somthinggggg i mean i have great moisturizer but during the day my makeup becomes all flaky and suck and i dooo not likkke ittt attt alllll!!! hahaha...I'm so frustrtaed, also, what can you do for a scab thats on your face, fast, I use neosporin but it doesnt work that well, ughh im so mad at myselffff =(

sad and frustrated

People say avocado is the best thing for your face. It exfoliates your skin and it literally cleans your pores and smoothes your skin. Mash half an avocado in a bowl and apply it to your face and leave this in for at least 30 minutes (the longer, the better) and rinse out (You can do this exact same thing to your hair, oddly enough, just make sure you mash up the avocado really good though, so it rinses easily). You can also apply egg white and egg yolk face masks those work really well too (look at other health questions in my advice column for how to do these, because I explain like a million times how to do egg masks). I've tried both these methods and they work really well so I hope they work for you!! >rate my answer, drop one in my inbox and let me know how it goes :)

my best friend went out with this guy that i liked and i found out that this guy doesnt even really like her and he likes me...he broke up with my best friend and then asked me out...i dont noe wut to do cuz my friend said shes not mad but i noe she is wut should i do?

If your friend is a good friend, then she'll understand how much you like the guy, and plus, she's not even mad if you go out with him, and you like him and he likes you, so go for it girl!
