about

Long story short, I'm from Los Angeles, went to an amazing school, left the US and moved to the Middle East. I've been backpacking around Europe and the Middle East on and off since August 2013.


Would you like to converse? Here's my Forum




Quite frankly, I'm sarcastic way more than I should be. Read a few of my answers, and you'll see that I am not totally mean to anyone.

Type correctly or go home. Yes, that is an ultimatum.

if anyone knows a lot about grammar and writing, please answer this. for school i'm writing an essay about history and what it means. in the introduction, i want to include a definition, like it is in the dictionary. this is the form i have it in now, is it correct? and if it's not, how can i correct it? History; noun, the branch of knowledge dealing with past events.
thank you so much!

Though not really interesting, the way Jack has corrected you with the colon is correct. Many teachers frown upon this style because you could just copy that from anywhere and it doesn't let your writing talents shine through.

i'm going to be a junior this year, and in my schedule i have two ap classes: AP Psychology and AP US History. the thing is, i only signed up for AP Psychology and regular US History, NOT AP US History. i don't know whether i should switch out of that class or not. i'm scared about the workload and i'm not even that great in history. i took AP World History last year, and i only got a 3 on the AP exam. so i don't know if AP US is going to be the same, but i don't think i can handle having 2 AP classes while studying for the SAT's.

what should i do? i know it's better to have more AP classes, but i'm not sure if i can handle all the work. should i switch out to regular US History?

AP US is easier than AP World.

I bought a movie from Itunes earlier tonight and I know for a fact that it finished downloading, but then I got a phone call and left my computer for about an hour. When I came back, my Itunes had been closed [I guess that could've been me.] and when I reopened it, my movie was nowhere to be found in the movie section of my library, in the purchased area of my Store section, or in the downloaded section... Yet, my money was charged. I used a gift card to pay, if that matters.

I have no idea where to look. Please help.

On the top under Store, you can check for purchases/.. click that, and anything that hasn't been downloaded will.

im a 13 year old girl and i've had pimples ever since I started puberty around the time I was 10. they are mostly small, with a few big ones, but you can't really notice unless you close to me. they are really annoying cause in pictures you can see them and when i feel my face i feel the little bumps and sometimes i pick them and make them worse. i try using some things but they dont work.. i wash my face 2 times a day, i drink as much water as i can.. stuff like that. so i want to know if proactiv is the right choice. does it really work like it says it does on the commercials? like or will it be too harsh for my skin.. cause once i took something that was too strong and it like temporarily scarred my face. im black by the way. otherwise, what else can i do to fix this problem? thanks for helping!

I recommend ProActiv's sulfur mask. That works wonders, but the rest doesn't really work.

OK so i'm almost 14 i take choir at school and drinking dairy products lowers your voice like your vocal range you can go as high and i usualy drink alot of milk so i was wondering if anyone knows how i can make it so i can go higher when i sing ????

Dairy doesn't lower your voice...it creates phlegm.

Read my singing tips website on my column and just do warmups to continually raise your range.

Isn't facebook for highschool people? I'm 13 and I have a myspace and I know that a lot of people in highschool left myspace because all of us younger kids came on, and now all my friend are like "omg switch to facebook!!" but it seems like it would just annoy those older kids who switched. Isn't facebook mainly for kids in highschool?

The whole point of Facebook is to network and see who knows who. You don't need to network in middle school, or really even freshman year. Then once your senior friends graduate, you want to keep in touch, which is why you need a Facebook.

And it drives me crazy. Don't get one until you need one.

Does anyone know how apt Walmart is to donate to a cause? because I am currently working on a Project Silver Angel, where people donate and we are sending care packages to soldiers who are overseas. Thanks for your help!

Products or funds?

Call their corporate office and ask.

They won't do it unless you have a federal tax id number, though.

My five year old son isn't interested in paying with other kids. My husband is VERY concerned. He will play with his sister and his cousins (all younger, all girls) and an occasionaly older girl who will act as a follower. My son likes to be in charge, he is the 1st born. Do you think any of theses characteristics are a sign that there is something wrong with him socially? He just seems to prefer the company of adults.

I was actually the same way, and I still generally prefer the company of adults over people my age. I am an only child.

You don't mention if he's started school or not. If not, wait a few months into the year and ask his teacher how he does. I really became social in elementary school, not kindergarten.

If after a few months of school he is still not as social as you think he should be, ask to have him checked out by the school psychologist.

I hope this helps.

I found a great pair of skinny jeans on the Urban Outfitters website, but they have weird siezes like 25, 26, etc. All of my jeans are either a 2 or 3, so what size am I in that weird size? How do I measure it?

Waist size.

There should also be a size chart there.

Okay so my state (TN) has decided to mandate that every student K-12 get 90 minutes of excersize a week. Well they are using our homeroom time at my school to do just that. I think it is incredibly stupid because its not the school's responsibility to tell us what to do as far as excersizing goes. It is so damn retarded I can hardly stand it. I HATE coming to school now. OMG as if it wasnt bad enough LETS THROW IN SOME EXCERSIZE!!! Plus my homeroom teacher is strict with the rules, so if we dont do these excersizes every morning, she will write us up. I dont feel like I can talk to her because she wont understand. And I cant sit there and object while everyone else is doing it because that will draw negative attention to me. I get enough attention as it is for being fat. And thats not the reason I dont want to do the excersizes. It's just that 15 minutes is a long time for someone who is as heavy as I am and its embarassing to have my fat jiggle around for the whole freaking class to watch and laugh at. I would much prefer to excersize in PRIVACY where I dont have to worry about what I look like. High school is bad enough as it is. I think this is pure torture and I really want to refuse to do it. But I dont want to bring negative attention to myself. WHAT SHOULD I DO???? and what is your opinion on our new state law??

...this shouldn't be a part of your homeroom. We don't ha ve homeroom in California, but I get the concept.


If I were you, I'd protest, but I agree with the reasoning behind the law.

i was looking at the iphone and really really want it.. but my whole family has verizon. is it true that the iphone is only with at&t? and if it is.. does that mean it would cost more for one family member to be in at&t while the rest of the family is in verizon? thanks for any help you can give =]

That is true.

The iPhone is only licensed to AT&T, but if (when) AT&T sucks too much, they will terminate the contract and go to another service provider.

Probably in like a year?

I need a name for my main character.

The character is a spoiled brat that gets everything she wants. She throws tantrums and is spoiled to death!

What kind of name describes this?
Thanks and hope it isn't a difficult question.

Haha. My name is Amy, and I'm not THAT much of a bitch. ;].

Brooke, Camille (sorry WTB!), Elyssa...

KENDRA.

what is a protestant? im a christian,whats the difrence? i know what catholic, muslim buddhism and all tht is but ive never heard of protestant until i saw it on my friends myspace.



thnx in advanced

Basically, when Henry VIII was excommunicated from the Catholic Church, he created the Church of England (Anglican). Then, Martin Luther and John Calvin both saw things that were wrong with the Catholic Church and so they came up with Lutheranism and Calvinism. There's a mini-history lesson for you. :]

Anything that is NOT Catholic is Protestant.

Enrollment is going on right now and I'm going to enroll on the very last day of enrollment x.x If I do, will I get a bad locker or do they just give out random lockers to people? Also, on the first day of school, should I bring a backpack + binder, or just a binder, or just nothing? Thanks!

I don't really know because we don't have lockers, but for middle school (when we did), they tried to put them by our classes.

So, I think that they are predetermined, and neither late enrollment nor random numbers have any influence on it.

Just bring a binder and a purse.

Would you rather have a small room with a bathroom in it or a big room

I have a bathroom attached to my room, and I don't use it other than to shower.

Plus, you don't want people in there late at night walking around.

I'd choose the bigger room.

by the way, im 13 years old. i asked my mom why kids like me cant have debit cards. shes like, "you have to work to get one". i understand that credit cards are loans, so you'd need to work to pay them off, and if a kid has it, its cause a parent pays for it. at least.. i think that could happen, right? anyways, debit cards you put your own money into it. i have about 200 dollars in my bank account, and im like, why cant i have a debit card instead of carrying all the money around? and my mom said to ask the people at my bank which is annoying cause i barely get chances to go there, so i need money a lot when i already have it, but i cant use it till we go to the bank. so it makes no sense.. my mom says you have to be working to have a debit card but that makes no sense cause like kids can even have more money than some adults with debit cards who work at like flippen mcdonalds! ugggh why? is it cause we're not responsible or something and would lose it? adults can lose cards too. and yeah.. this makes no sense to me. explain please.

That's odd. I think I had one at about 13. I no longer do, just because I didn't use it, but I had it for like 2 years.

You do NOT need to be working to get one...you just have to have money to put in the account.

Another option is prepaid credit cards not linked to your bank account.

Can anyone explain Letter Points to me? I know that you get them for doing and stuff and get a letter thingy. But what do you get them in, how do you get them and if possible how many 'points' you need to get one?

...each school and sport are there.

For us, 250 hours gets you your first one.

That's how I got mine, anyway.
