about

I'm a photography major at a community college. I love music, fashion, art, my friends, books, films, theatre...and vampires. Ask me anything. I especially like questions about my opinions on something and questions that aren't even asking for advice.

I am wondering what some good mood songs are? I'm not a real artsy, deep and into the moment kind of person, but when I'm calm or sad I like listening to soft music. Different languages are good too. What are some perferable and relaxing songs (like Dido and Enya etc.)?

Thanks a bunch

Dave Matthews Band is amazing.

Ohk well a guy friend of mine and I always play this little game where we go back and forth asking questions. I want to get to know more about him now, and his past. So what are some good questions to ask. For example, I asked him how he likes his orange juice, and if he likes tuna. Lol, what are some other SUPER random things that might help me get to know him better? Pleasee, anthing? Thank yaaas. :]

Ask him like "have you ever..." or "would you rather..." questions. Random ones like "have you ever been skinny dipping?" or "would you rather have two noses or one eye?"...man I love that game haha. Have fun!

I was wondering if pay as you go cell phones are worth it? and if they are which phones are the best?

i was also wondering which cell phone plan is the best in your opinion? thank you!

I have a Virgin Mobile Pay-As-You-Go and I love it!! I have a really nice camera phone with games and superphonic ringtones. It'a affordable, they have cool phones, and it's simple. JUST DON'T GET TRACFONE!!!! It sucks and you never get service ANYWHERE!!! Good luck!

I'm looking to get a new phone. I need something prepaid or pay as you go. Right now I have a C155 Motorola Tracfone (http://www.tracfone-orders.com/direct/tr/itemdetl.jsp?prod=2413&tech=GSM4&techzip=71118). Its okay. I just want something a little more reliable. I need something small. I only use it for emergencies, sixty minutes can last me for like six months. I text a good bit too. I would be buying and paying for it myself (16/f) so it needs to be inexpensive. Thx in advance.

TRACFONE IS ABSOLUTELY TERRIBLE DON'T DO IT!!! Their phones suck and you don't get signal ANYWHERE!!! I have Virgin Mobile Prepaid (http://virginmobileusa.com/phones/home.do) and I love it. The phones are really cool, it's very affordable and you get great coverage. T-Mobile, Cingular and Verizon Wireless also have prepaid plans that would be worth checking out.

Everyone says American Eagle is the best store, but personally I hate it. All of their t-shirts are basically the same things with different words and colors. A lot of their clothes are really bad quality. I bought a cami from there once and I only wore it once and a HUGE hole ripped and I wasn't even running around or anything. It may be a little cheaper then Abercrombie & Fitch or Hollister, but atleast if you buy something from A&F or Hollister, you know the clothes are going to last. American Eagle's clothes arn't the most attractive things, and they look cheap. What do you think about AE?

I like it but it's kinda like almost everyone dresses the same these days. Like 2006's idea of "vintage".

What are some good ideas to do on a date.
For like tongiht, a normal friday night, kinda warm out side. But nothing too expensive?

Do something random, different and spontaneous. Guys love that. There's always the "dinner and a movie" idea but everyone does that. Go for a walk on the beach, take him/her to your favorite place to eat/shop/hang out, play hide and seek with your siblings together, go to the city, go swimming, go shopping...be creative and unique when you plan your dates.

I like G. for one month...He is really nice to me...And we always hug each other kiss each other and we act like we are together...My friends and his friends think that we are together..I think i am beautiful because boys think that..Yesterday was like every day..We were hugging each other and we were on his motorcycle...We were "touching" each other A LOT..Like only couples do...And then he would drive me home..We were on his motorcycle when he turned and we were so close and we kissed each other...It happened and i was happy about that..I am...But we are not together..He didn't ask me to be with him or something like this...Today everything fine..Without touching and kiss(lips)..I really want to be with him..It is the first time i like a boy THAT much...What should i do to be with him???He is a really good guy...We know each other 1 year but only this last months things are that "good"..What should i do to be with him apart from asking him out???P.S.(When he were hugging each other i heard his heart which was beating really quickly...)

Ask him to tell you exactly how he feels about you. Ask him why he holds your hand and kisses you and treats you the way he does.

Well me and my friends were having dinner the other night. Her mom called because she was going to pick us up. When her mom asked if there were guys there (there was) she said no. But her brother came in to get us and he saw them and then told her mom. Her mom didn't care there were guys there she just cared that my friend lied. So now my friend has lost her parents trust by lying and she really wants to get it back.
Are there any ways you guys would suggest getting her parents trust back? Or if anyones been in this same type of situation maybe? Thanks.

Tell her to the truth in every single situation from now on. Even if her motivation in telling the truth isn't always "oh it's because I want to be a better person", tell her to tell herself it's because she don't want to get bitten in the ass later.

Okay like over a year ago i taped all these pictures on my wall like 200 or so.. && i took them off && the wall looks awful..Painting isn`t an option && i don`t know what to do && to put those pictures back up would take a LONG time. I don`t really have money for posters.. So if you have any ideas please help.. Its horrible && i hate it..I doubt theres much to do but i just thought i`d give it a shot;;
ALso i have tons && tons of construction paper maybe i can put that up && then like draw or write on it..I can do grafitti good so maybe that would be okay..

An idea (which is what I did with my room) is to get all your old (and new) magazines and catalogs together and just cut out random pictures and big words that you like or that describe you and arrange them like a superhuge collage on your walls. Pieces of artwork, random abstracts, pictures of models and movie stars and singers and songwriters...the possibilities are endless and the result is always cool and unique. If your parents would let you do graffiti, go for it, that's an amazingly awesome idea.

Hey there well as you might know by now fashion is my dream im 13 years old and im worried about my career. I want to know when to start my career? What education I will be needing i want to make my own fashion lineing of clothes thanx XOXOX

Until you finish senior high school, practice your drawing skills, keep tabs on the fashion industry and the lastest styles, and take as many art classes as your school offers. Develop your own unique style and get noticed for it. When you get to college, you will need an associates degree in fashion and/or merchandising which will most likely require some or all of the following classes (and maybe more too, it varies by school in the order required by the school you attend:
Flat Pattern I
Flat Pattern II
Design Principles and Apparel
History of Costume I
History of Costume II
Principles of Textiles
Clothing Construction I
Clothing Construction II
Tailoring
Draping
Design Studio: Apparel
Fashion Illustration
Fashion Marketing and Merchandising
An elective of any fashion course
All your Gen Eds

So, it's a really long haul but I know you can do it and I wish you the best of luck in all your ambitions and I hope you achieve your goals and get where you want to be!!

i started taking birth control pills and i was wondering when its safe for my boyfriend to not use a condom?

Birth control is at it's maximum effectiveness about a month after you stop taking it. However, it's never 100% effective, so you should use a condom if you're really freaked out about getting pregnant.

Im getting Dizzy all the time and I dont know why Im not pregnant cause Ive not had sex but I am bout to die cause Im getting dizzy so much

Try leaving a salt, alcohol (if you drink, I don't know if you do) and caffeine out of your diet for a while and see how that goes. If it doesn't help, try taking up yoga or try a homeopathic remedy for dizziness. If that doesn't help, see a doctor.

I was watching a movie today and it was kind of like the movie Thirteen, it's pretty much the same story just the movie I watched was based a true person - it was one of those lifetime original movies, Augusta Gone or something like that. Well I would never smoke because personally, I think it's a disgusting habit. But one of the girls on the show said that smoking (ciggarettes) helps quicken your metabolism. I was just curious as to whether or not that was true. And if you say that it is true, what's your proof? If it isn't true, how do you know for sure?

I promise this will in no way impact whether or not I smoke, I think smoking is gross, but I was just kind of curious when I heard that. I guess I could probably look it up myself, but my internet connection hasn't been very good and I've been getting really frustrated waiting for pages to load so I just assume this would be quicker on my part.

Thanks in advance for the answers.

Smoking does kind of quicken your metabolism because it sort of curbs your hunger cravings. A lot of people gain weight after they quit smoking because they replace smoking with eating more than they used to and that's kind of what led to the half myth that smoking boosts your metabolism.

I'm 15 and in need of a job. The store I want to work at only hires people 16 and older. Should I add a year to my age? what's the worst thing that can happen & could they easily find out? I'm just wondering... thanks!

Pretty much everywhere you apply these days you're required to show them your state ID/drivers liscence and social security number to get on the payroll, most likely before, shortly after or right when you start working. And when your boss finds out that you lied about your age you'd be in big trouble with him/her. But don't worry, it's not that hard to find a job when you're under 16. Just apply at family owned places.

I have been wanting a perm for sooooooo long. I want a body wave perm. I picked out this supppperrrr cute hairstyle. But, i am doing the locks of love thing. Is it ok if i get a perm and still do the locks of love thing? I know they don't allow color treated hair,,, but what about perms...i want one sooooo bad. thanks in advance and i will rate your advice.

I have donated my hair to Locks of Love before and you aren't allowed to donate your hair if it's permed or dyed a color different from your natural one.

I just got my period today. It sucks because these cramps are killing me and I feel like I want to die. What can I do so the cramps don't hurt as much? I know they sell pills or medicines or something but I don't know where they sell them or what they are called. Any excersizes or something I can eat? The only thing I know about is a heating pad, which I'm already using and it's helping a little bit, but not much. Any help would be appreciated.

Midol. It's like crack for teenage girls. Just kidding...but seriously, it's a miracle worker.

i didnt sleep last night.. i just couldn't. and this morning at about 8 o' clock.. i felt so sick.. my heart was beating so fast.. i couldnt lay down and try to sleep.

im really scared.. my mom doesnt understand.. i tried telling her but she doesnt listen.. someone help, what could be happening?

Did you recently go through a bad breakup or a loved one passing away? That happens to me frequently...usually when I'm really anxious or depressed.

me and my gf broke up like 3 weeks ago but we still hang out sometimes. we were watching a movie and when it was over we started makin out and so i stopped real quick and was like, "we're still friends, okay?" and she didnt say anything so i kept kissin her but she wasnt kissing me back and she started crying so i kinda just left. we've talked since then but why was she crying??? did i do the right thing??? what should i have done if i didnt??? what do i do now???

She's probably still upset over the two of you breaking up and by making out with her, you set yourselves back in getting over each other. You're sending her mixed signals and it's going to make her hurt more. So stop it. And you shouldn't have left her there crying, she probably wanted an explanation or something.
