A quick note: If I answered a question and you have further questions for me, please include a URL link to your original question(s) so that I can be sure of what we're talking about. Questions that reference something we talked about a week ago that I can't quite remember are kinda hard to answer.
Welcome to my column.
I don't apologize for my answers. I speak to the audience, and in doing so I sometimes tell the audience things they don't want to hear or cant handle.
I believe in stands on principle. I believe that doing right for the sake of doing right is a good way to live. I believe in self awareness and encourage it in others. I offer the most unbiased viewpoint I have. And yes, I am only human.
Im going to tell you what I think you need to hear. You are not supposed to take what I say and follow it. You are supposed to take what I say and _think_about_it_
Oh, and feel free to ask me questions, but netspeak, ebonics, terrible grammar, and your teen angst about a crush will be ignored.

well i just started at a new school and ive already made lots of friends but im really trying to get popular! so how do i get popular? before i knew who the cool people were but here i have no idea!! and how do i get invited to a party? i dont have classes with the cool kids so i have no idea how to become friends with them! i cant just walk up to them randomly lol. and i have met some girls who are kinda cool and go to parties and stuff but how do i take it from acquantinces to friends? one of them im friends with but the others not really. i feel kinda out of place with them and dont really kno how to approach them. and how do i meet more guys?? please help! thanks!!! :)
oh and dont think im shallow or anything..i just want to get my reputation in place :) (link)

Your priorities are so screwed up its ridiculous. Everything about that question fits the definition of "shallow"
For the sake of answering the question though.
If you want to get to know a group of people, its simple.
You figure out who they are, and you pick one or two to try to talk to alone. People are much more likely to be friendly if you express interest in them one on one because they are much less likely to be aloof when they aren't trying to maintain their "popular" status in front of others.
You get to know one or two of the group, enough that you'd feel comfy walking up and saying hi and chatting, then you walk up to the group and say hi to the person you know, and ask who everyone else is.
Be friendly, let your new friend introduce you to theirs, and join in on the conversation. Its sad how well cool by association works. Also, if you're a girl, it helps to pick a girl to get to know. If a girl introduces you to other girls, they're more likely to be friendly, and guys just don't care as much.

can an employer fire somebody just for not smiling even if the person is friendly otherwise. it doesnt seem right it should be based on how well they do their job? if anybody can answer this it would be appreciated. thank you! (link)
|
Yeah, pretty much.
I live in Texas. We have whats called "At will Hire and Fire"
That means that the employee and employer agree that they will work together, and that this business relationship can be terminated at any time for any reason that is not legal discrimination.
Not smiling would be labeled "improper attitude" and when you get canned you got canned, theres not much you can do.

I've been with my boyfriend for over three years. We're happy and we love each other. However, he still has a lot of growing up to do.
For starters, he's a little shy. I know this is a part of his personality, but since we jsut started college, I've noticed he doesn't interact with people well. This draws my attention to the fact that sometimes he is very self-centered. He hardly ever thinks of what I would like to do, or what I think about something, and he just goes with what works for him. He does do random things to make me happy, but only when I'm upset over something or I'm sick or whatever.
Also, we don't have sex. And I'm ready for it. I love him enough to, and he claims he feels the same, but he was raised in a slightly more strict home than I was. So, he is totally opposed to it, even though we do everything but sex. We've also never spent the night together, and while I think simply sleeping together (and ONLY that) would be a sweet/cute thing, he doesn't think it's a good idea. The thing that gets me is that he "can't explain why he feels that way".
We've grown a lot in our relationship, but I'm much, much more mature than he is, and sometimes it gets on my nerves. Has anyone else been in this situation? And what can I do to talk to him about this without him getting defensive, which he does often when I try to talk about these things. (link)

I'm going to disagree with Peeps below. Peeps, if you happen to read it, I find your answers insightful and intelligent, but based entirely on assumptions without evidence.
I think you should be a little more aggressive with him.
Heres why.
Shyness in males always comes from a lack of self confidence. From everything you've described, he sounds very much like a shy, insecure male. The defensiveness is another clue.
Alot of this has nothing to do with you. He's not used to success in social situations, and he's not really comfy with them. This discomfort leads to his shyness, its also the reason for self centered ness. Its easy to be self centered when you are alone all the time. Making him interact with others and learning to be a part of the world at large will help him develop some of those lacking social skills and will give him exposure to the fact that there ARE other people in this world.
Step 1, is TELLING him what you'd like to do. Planning is a great weapon. Making plans to go do something you want to do, getting him to agree, and making sure its something he would enjoy too works wonders. You get what you want, and he gets dragged a bit out of his shell. (Random question, he doesnt play World of Warcraft does he?)
You are going to have to be patient. Its not right to push him into places he truly isnt ready for, but I also firmly believe that its each partner in a relationships responsibility to push the other. If you never expand your boundaries or never step outside of them, you miss alot in this world.
Talk to him more, as well. Tell him what bothers you and how you think. Invite him to do the same.
Also, you might want to think about being more social with others. Going out to get a bite to eat, hanging out with his friends or yours. Giving him a bit of social interaction to deal with and having people there who will engage _him_ so that he begins to feel like people want to interact with him, not just the other way around.
Take the lead and invite him to take it from you. Set a direction and push him out ahead of you and let him experience taking the lead. Go to a party, go to a movie, go out to dinner with friends. And I personally think you'd be OK in seducing him. Just remember to be safe, take care of yourself and him.

First of all, i'm 18 years old (female). I haven't had a serious boyfriend in over 2 years. that's not the problem. anyways, i have dated a lot of guys. usually, girls like guys who open the door for them, compliment them, call them baby and stuff like that, and want guys who won't just use them for sex. ok, i hate all that. i hate talking on the phone with guys and i hate when guys will do anything for you. it seems like i would rather have sex with a guy that will use me instead of dating a nice guy. whats wrong with me?? (link)
|
You want excitement, and you steer towards the guys who excite you.
Its the bad boy trap that women have been fighting for years upon years, and the more submissive your personality the worse it gets.
You want confident exciting guys. Unfortunately, in most young guys confidence is never tempered by failure and experience, so it turns into arrogance.
What do you do? Date guys in their early 20s and find an exciting hobby. You want excitement in your day, but if you had some excitement, a way to quench that adventurous side you have, then you wouldn't need your boyfriend to fill that role so much, and you might find yourself subconsciously drifting towards guys with more of a balance in their lives.

My names cherry, im 15 years old and me and my boyfriend mark have been together for almost a month. I no i'm young but i really do love him so much and recently one of his close mates is saying all this horrible stuff like, "oh you can do better.. bla blaa" and he dosen't even no me and i don't even no him :S but yea ever since he's said this mark's been acting really weird with me.. like he won't say love you and hes deleted the pictures of me and him off his phone. I've obviously asked him why he's been acting different and he claim's he hasn't.. I've also asked him if he's going to dump me and he says no.. but i really don't know what to think.. has anyone ever been in a situation like this? Thanks, Cherry x (link)

/sigh
Hes immature. His friends opinions mean alot to him.
Honestly, I'd break up with him. Theres a reason that sex, and even alot of the time dating isnt a good reason until the late teen years. People just aren't mature enough.
Its obvious that this isnt going to last forever. If you break up with him now you teach him a valuable lesson, listen to your friends and act differently and you can screw up something thats actually good.
If girls were harsher on guys for being assholes, I think guys in general would be better off for it.
(I'm a guy BTW)

Hey, im 16f. I have an older brother that is 17 and a younger sister that is 10. Im in the middle. One of my pet peeves is hair in the sink. Every morning my sister insists on brushing her hair in the bathroom, and then when she leaves the bathroom she leaves LOTS of hair in the sink everywhere, and on the sink. It just BUGS me. SHe has really long brown hair and everyone else in the family has short hair so its obvious its hers. I am like 'how hard is it to wash your hair out of the sink!!?'. I told my mom to please tell her to just wash it out, which she did tell her, but I guess my sister isnt capable of doing it. Shes just lazy. And since she is the baby of the family she gets away with anything. I know this is a small thing, but it is constant. It just annoys me to find gobs of hair in the sink. But now my moms like 'you can just wash it out yourself'. But im like arg, because she should be old enough to do it herself (my sister). Please HELP. (link)

Hide her brushes and leave some clorox wipes where she usually keeps them with a note that says "brushes back after you clean"
You'll probably get bitched out about it, but you're in the right, and if you just keep doing it she'll get the message.

What is the dffernce between catholic and christian religion? (link)
|
The difference is ritual.
Ritual is things that we catholics do because its traditional, basically because people have been doing for very long times. The communion is supposed to be a ritual to emulate Christ.
For the most part, the basic beliefs in Christ are identical. We believe in the new testament, etc. Morally also things are very similar. The main difference between Catholics and other Christian denominations is the importance of the church.
The catholic church comes very close to equating God and the Church organization on equal terms.
To give a comparison, a baptist minister is holy because he devotes himself to God, and is a community leader who tries to do good acts and guide others. A priest is holy because he devotes himself to God and is part of the church.
Having been raised in Catholic dogma theres alot I don't agree with. The church is far to self serving for a holy organization, in my opinion. It is a basic human truth that all those who gain power fear to lose it, and move to protect it. The Catholic church has that selfsame weakness.
But thats my personal opinion.
Fundamentally, theres not a ton of difference. If you asked the same "Do you believe X" questions you'd get most of the same answers from Catholics as you'd get from other denominations. The differences all have to do with ritual and with the church itself.

My bf just broke up with me like 3 weeks ago, and we had been going out for 9 months! At first i wasn't too bugged by it b/c he had been being a jerk and it was kinda nice being single. Now, he has a new gf (they both go to a different school) and i almost feel jealous. We e-mail eachother...but don't ever talk on the phone...even tho he said he wanted to be "friends" still. I just want to get over this guy since it seems like he got over me pretty quickly (he got a new gf like a week and a half after we broke up). When I e-mail him I think I always sound desperate and like i'm trying to get him back, but i don't mean to sound like that nad i really have no idea what to do.
HELP! i'm so confused :(

Ouch.
13 and a 9 month relationship?
No offense intended at all when I say you aren't really equipped to deal with this well.
I've got a link for you, if nothing else it should make you laugh. But the advice there has saved my bacon more than once in a bad breakup.
http://forums.somethingawful.com/showthread.php?threadid=1826659
Break contact. Delete his e-mail address and block him. Delete his phone number and block that. Tell him that you need him to not talk to you.
Separation gives you space for healing.
Other than that, read that whole post. Its funny, and its very, very true.

My boyfriend seems to think that when he calls other girls hot it impresses me.
Well it doesnt, and honestly, it's really pissing me off.
Once or twice is some-what acceptable, but i'm talking about almost every day!
It's so awkward for me because i just stand there and look like a total idiot.
I mean, what am i supposed to say ...?
"Cool" ??
yeah right, so the other day i talked to him about it, and he said that's the last time i'll ever hear it from his mouth.
A few days pass and he was really keeping his word.
Then the other day we were talking about lindsay lohan and he was like
"Im not even gunna say it!"
and i was like
"what?"
"that shes hot."
and i was like "YOU JUST DID!"
things like that.
another thing he does is point out EVERY SINGLE pretty girl in the mall he says he knows and say
"I used to like her"
One time i busted him because we go to different schools
and he was like "I used to like her"
and it turns out the girl he pointed to
went to MY school.
so i said "how do you know her?"
and he was like "she goes to my school"
and then she comes over and says
"Hey!" to me.
not even acknowledging him!
and he never spoke about since then.
he does it to impress me and i know it.
or he'll spot a grouup of other pretty girls and tell me he knows him.
I have no idea what to do anymore!
im lost.
what do i do? (link)

Oh Jesus Christ in Heaven
Someone needs to kick that stupid boy in the nuts.
You posted your age, I'm more curious about HIS. Is his father a former Fratboy? Is his mom a Trophy wife? Because he sounds like the product of one of those households where his dad married hot and young and has been bragging about it to salve his fading middle aged ego to the only person who would find it impressive (his son)
How do you handle this? You shatter his illusions.
I'll give you a short speech, take ideas and make it your own.
"(Boysfriends name), when you talk to girls, call them hot, say you know them, and act like a big shot, its completely transparent. It feels like you want me to believe you're cool because you don't really believe that yourself. I like you, you're fun to be around, but you need to get over your own insecurities and stop "trying to be cool" all the damn time, because it gets really tiring. No one is impressed, least of all me. If you want to impress me, remember my birthday, take me out to do something free thats still romantic, pay attention to what I'm saying when I say it, and remember that Lindsey Lohan is a lesbian and probably would think your dick looks like a hairless caterpillar with a wierd mouth"
The way you deal with is by shattering his illusions. One of the chief differences between men and women is the point in their lives that they develop self awareness. The point where they not only actually wondering what other people think, but grow in intelligence enough to be right about it at least some of the time.
Women, it starts usually before puberty. Men it usually begins to kick in after.
Thing is, some guys need an extra kick in the pants. They build this illusion of "I'm such a badass" around themselves and think that no one else can see through it. You need to shatter that one way mirror that he only sees himself as he wants to see in, and everyone else sees through. Shatter his illusions, and let him know that you still like him without them.
He might actually be a decent boyfriend once his ego recovers. Or he might break up with you and move on to someone who will smile vacantly and accept his bullshit.
If the second happens, it really truly is his loss, and you're well shot of him.

how do you like control your emotions, because when i get angry or when i am hurt, i like say things i don't really mean and it hurts the people i love, like my boyfriend, i always hurt him by saying mean things, that i feel at that very moment, but not like always... if you get what i mean. so how do i control it, i just like burst into some hysterical frenzy and he calls me crazy and stuff, i don't know what to do.

Emotions are a pain in the ass at times.
I have some of the same tendencies as you, and controlling them requires alot of paying attention.
The biggest problem with a short and sharp temper is that you are often saying things you are going to regret later before you even realize that you're angry.
The trick to controlling this is to pay attention and take conversations slower for a while. Whenever he says something, literally sit there and ask yourself "how do I feel about that"
This is enough of a break in the thought process that you can figure out that you're getting angry if you are. Usually realizing that you need to control yourself is enough to give you the chance to stop the conversation and walk outside or just pause to get yourself under control.
My usual line to my girlfriend is "I'm about to be an asshole, can we please pause this so I can calm down?"
We both like that comment. It lets me take a pause to collect myself, it also gives her a very clear shot into how angry I am and she knows at that point what I'm thinking without having to say it. Lastly, it calms her down a bit, because she knows at that point I'm vunerable. I provide her with an open target where she knows if she says something mean its really going to hurt me, and seeing me do that calms her down because its a sign of trust between us, and she appreciates that I'm not a towering untouchable asshole whom she can't affect.
Talk to your boy. Tell him that you want to try to control it better. Talk about what you'll say in advance. Letting him know and talking to him about it show him you're not just trying, but planning on how you can be better. It also gives him tools to help you with it.

ok dont think im a slut cause im pretty far from it....but i do kinda feel like one cause i love my friends boyfriend and he has told me that if i really want him all i have to do is tell him and he would leave her for me. i think that is so mean to do though. i could never bring myself to do that to her. i love her as close as a sister and i have told her how i feel about him and showed her some of the txt messages that he sent me so she knows about it and she has talked to him about it and he denied that he would leave her. but we are getting pretty close and im scared to hurt her. another thing is that when i confessed to her she told me that she wasnt to worried that she trusted me and would never believe i would hurt her like that but its driving me insane i love him i really cant help it but i dont know what to do.........HELP (link)

Don't.
Love is an adult emotion. I say this, because part of being an adult is self control, and love requires that of us.
You don't just love him. You love your friend as well. And years from now, you would regret compromising that love.
Guys will come and go. I've "been in love" several times throughout my life. I have most definitely liked friends whom I have never dated but wanted to, and I've fallen for one or two of them in the process.
But friendship is friendship, honor is honor, and in the end its far more worthwhile to be the kind of person who controls herself for the benefit of those she loves.
If they break up in the future, and stay broken up for a few months, you could reconsider. I don't recommend before a few months because you don't want to be the rebound.
Do what you know is right. You can't go through life blundering into other people's lives because you have feelings too. Especially friends.

well there is this guy who is so perfect for me and is really one of those special guys. hes not like the other stupid guys and hes the type of guy your lucky to find and need to hang on to. he and i are so good for each other! but he lives in dallas while i like in kansas city! (while he was visitng my good friend we hung out a couple times and exchanged numbers) he and i really like each other but we obviously cant date because he live so far away from each other. we cant do long distance and there is no other options. what should i do?? how do i accept this? and how do i keep my heart from hurting. it hurts to like him but know nothing will ever come of it. he has actually talked about when we are in college but come on i know that wont happen and even if it did thats in FOREVER!! im a sophomore and hes a junior.. please help me because i dont know how to deal with this. i really like him.. (link)

Keep in touch until you could meet in person.
Yeah, the future can seem like forever away. But if you keep contact, anything is possible.
A friend of mine is dating a girl in high school he crushed on very, very hard all through that period in his life. We graduated years ago, but he ran across her a year and a half ago and they were both single.
He said "what the hell" and asked her out. Theyre engaged now.
She was literally the one who got away. The girl who he still years later with NO contact thought about.
They ran into each other and the wedding is next year.
You'd be amazed how small the world can be when you're older and you want it to be. Be patient until then and date guys who are local. Give yourself some practical dating experience.

what are things guys look for in a girl they want a real relationship with? what do they look for when they want someone to be with for a long time? and what keeps them interested and wanting you? thanks!! :) (link)
|
See the answer below me? Theres a reason shes saying that.
Age.
I'm not saying she's immature or too young to know any better, I'm saying that at her age all the guys who are also her age are pretty much worthless.
Guys mature far slower than girls in the relationship department. Most guys don't know what they want in a girl, don't think about it much either. At least, until years later in adulthood.
Guys just want a girl who is interested. Any girl who is interested who they are also interested in.
At the age I'm guessing you are (16 or under) its a crapshoot. You could get a decent loving guy (who will probably tell you he loves you WAY before hes ready to say such things) and be happy. You could get an asshole who hasn't learned women are worth more than sex.
Though, a tip. Look at the shy guys. Shy guys don't have expectations for you, and are usually decent people who haven't had enough successes socially to come out of their shells and relax around people.
Also, if a shy guy is an asshole, you'll know right away. He won't want you to bother him, and he'll drive you away. He's shy because he doesnt like people. If hes a nice shy guy, he's probably going to be so nervous talking to you that he'd never make a move, so the trick to them is you have to give them incredibly glaring hints or just outright tell them you want them to take you out.
A final note.
The important thing is not "what a guy wants to see in you"
The important thing is who you actually are. Be yourself, and look for guys who like you for it. Part of doing that is realizing that not everyone you like will like you, and vise versa.

How long will it take if I use two insulin pens full of Novalog to commit suicide? Assuming both pens are full and are inject within five minutes. (link)
|
I don't know how long it would take, wouldn't tell you if I did.
Though, I learned a little about diabetes a while back when my great aunt was diagnosed.
An overdose of insulin, if I remember correctly, would most likely injure your liver and possibly a few other internal organs. You would most certainly live through it, possibly end up with diabetes yourself (or worsen the condition if the pens are actually for you)
My suggestion, is put the pens down, think for a minute, maybe consider calling one of the phone numbers below for help. If nothing else, what could it hurt? Nothing.

I am going on my first date with a wonderful guy soon and I want to know what to expect. I want to make a good impression on our first date together, which may involve kissing. I'm not really sure about some things regarding the appropriate time to kiss on a date.
Should I kiss a guy at the end of our first date if it went well or should I wait a few dates? What is appropriate? I don't want to come off as pushy or easy, and I want to make sure chemistry is there on his side too without asking him. How will I know it's the right time to kiss on a date? (link)
|
Close your eyes, and smash your lips into his nose and the part of the cheek under his eye.
Then dissolve into fits of giggles while he looks horrorstruck and slowly turns away confused and sad.
Then grab him, turn him around, and kiss him while trying to stifle the giggles.
Works every time.
Or, you could wait until he's had every opportunity. When he drops you off at home, get out of the car. If he doesnt open his door, bend back down and ask "will you walk me to the door?"
He walks you to the door. Fiddle with your keys and generally take forever giving him every opportunity to work up the nerve.
If he still doesnt manage it, and says good night and starts to walk away, say "Youre forgetting something"
If he still doesnt take the hint just kiss the poor nervous bastard.
Kissing a guy on the first date =/= easy.

So there's a guy i have been having sex with for about a month now. we're just friends with benefits. It started out that he would call me every night and we would talk about each others days blah blah blah. that was before we started having sex. anyways, now we don't talk at all. yeah i know that's how friends with benefits are "supposed" to be. and i'm fine with that. tonight i went to his house. we had sex big surprise. anyways, we barely said 2 sentences after. i tried to talk to him about football cause he plays and i got like short answers. the awkward conversation (if you would call it that) lasted like 10 minutes and he was like ok im going to sleep. i'm frickin going out of my way to sneak out of my house just to please him and he can't even have a conversation with me. am i in the wrong here? and no i don't like him in that way, i would just like a little respect. (link)
|
::Sigh::
As far as he is concerned, you are a free hooker.
No, seriously. Its what he's treating you as. And you don't respect yourself enough here to realize that you're giving sex to a worthless selfish asshole who doesnt deserve it.
I hate the term "Friend with Benefits"
There is no such thing. Either you aren't friends, or someone wants more than just benefits. Thats how it works, every single time.
Next time make a guy date you before he gets in your pants, and buy a vibrator in the mean time.
Oh, and a lesson on guys.
Most guys will do the bare minimum to get laid.
If getting laid requires them to be a decent guy, they are more likely to be decent guys.
If it doesnt, they wont.
This is especially true in your age range when guys are still maturing, and learning what's expected. What ever happened to the days when getting laid was an accomplishment to be proud of because it meant you were worth something.
::sigh again::

You are too young to have sex.
Being horny is normal. We all have sex drives we have to satisfy or ignore as appropriate.
Usually I would provide a good amount of safety information just in case.
Today, I won't.
Because you are way too young. I can tell by your post that there is no way in hell you are over 15, and that you don't know much of anything about sex.
Being horny is not a good enough reason. Being horny means you masturbate. If thats not enough, find a way to obtain a vibrator.
At the very least, you are right. Getting pregnant could ruin your whole life.Worse, you are too young and uneducated to properly protect yourself. Do the responsible thing and WAIT.

I want to commit suicide but I don'twant pain so I want to tak a bunch of sleeping pills I am 14 and a female. About how many do I need to take to die in my sleep? My ffriend that's like a brother to me went out drunk as a fucking skunk to jump off a cliff because he was really depressed and I couldn't stop him no matter what I did. I know it's "not the end of the word" and shit but I don't care! I waited all night and morning and ect but he never got on again so spare me the bullshit about not doing it and trying to convince me not to because everyone knows it doesn't work so spare yourself the energy and help me please.

Jesus Christ with the drama.
Sorry, but its early, and I'm a bit cranky.
Alright, so lets look at the facts here.
You said "never got back online"
So, you were having an online conversation where a friend told you he was going jump off a cliff. And he hasnt gotten back on.
What if, say, he was being just as melodramatic as you are, and just logged off and fumed in his room about how much he hates his life.
I mean, seriously, how common is it for teens to make stupid overdramatic statements about things because they're not too happy with having to deal with adult levels of emotion and then feel stupid about it later?
Pretty common I'd say.
So, Imagine what it would do to your friend if he found out his little tantrum was taken seriously and he lost a friend? About what this is doing to you?
Not to mention your parents. Your other friends. Family.
Do you really want to be responsible for that? I wouldnt.
You're right. Its not the end of the world. Only the end of the world is the end of the world. If Armageddon comes, let me know, and I won't argue with you anymore. Until then, you need to take stock of yourself and your reactions to things and maybe function a bit off of logic.
You should be worried about your friend and trying to figure out what happened to him, or waiting as patiently as you can manage (losing sleep would be considered normal, I would in your position) and find out what happened, if anything, and how you can help the situation.
If I'm wrong, and he wasnt just indulging in petty teen angst, then come back and ask another question, and we'll work on dealing with loss.

For people who've seen and know the movie. There's two parts I just didn't get: when John is granting Balthazaar absolution and he says you have to plead for it, why would the demon not want forgiveness? Besides, wouldn't god just sent him back to hell, which is where he was going to begin with? Also, mammon needs a powerful sourcerer to cross over. He already had isabel, what did he need angela for? What was the point of killing the first twin? (link)

As random as this question is, it made me happy.
Yay randomness.
Anyway, first part.
Demons only know hell. Its familiar, its where they feel they belong, for better or worse its home. Part of the whole "servant of evil" thing is that the servants are willing.
Being forgiven and going to heaven wouldn't make him any less evil, and wouldn't make him hate heaven and all its occupants any less. Being in heaven surrounded by people you hated pathologically would be, in fact, a personal hell.
No one could say whether a demon GOING to heaven would change him, but as most creatures are afraid of the unknown a servant of hell isnt going to want to find out.
Second part, I don't think they ever say. You could guess that it has something to do with her sister being insane, and unable to harness or control or accept her powers, thereby diminishing them. Remember that Angela denied her powers and eventually they vanished. Isabel could have done the same thing being alone and labeled insane and been somehow unsuitable for mammon's purposes.
Or, you could also say that that wouldn't have made as good a story and wouldnt have provided that lovely "Falling off the hospital onto a giant pane of glass into a pool" scene, and thats how hollywood works.

ok, sooo I just started dating this guy and i thought maybe he would change his facebook status thing, but he didn't and I don't know if I should wait for him to do it or just go ahead and change mine or what. I haven't been in a relationship ever so I don't really know what people normally do about these things. If anyones got any advice, please let me know, thanx :) (link)

Facebook is serious business.
Seriously though, it probably hasnt crossed his mind, and if you change yours he probably still won't notice. And you'll stress out about it and start a fight over it, and he will be wierded out about the fact that the facebook he pays absolutely no attention to caused a big drama fight, and he will break up with you.
Or, you could just forget about it.
