Will you be my friend

...considering the fact this is totally anonymous and I have no clue who you are, I don't think that is possible right now?

But...
If you'd like to chat, please visit my forum, rather than send me inboxes.
I always like a good chat =]

im really pale right now and i dont want to risk ruining my health to go tanning. so i wanted to buy a self tanner but i dont want to end up orange. has anybody used one that is good? or suggest to stay away from any? im willing to spend..i guess up to $15 or so. thanks!!

You see, Jergen's gave my friend an orange glow...


I myself am pretty pale, and have used Aveeno Natural something or other and it worked.
I also have used Dove, and it worked really well, too. Both can be found at stores like Walgreens or CVS and are under 15 dollars.

what do guys like in a girl and what do you think is hot in a girl?

*This is an answer my friend, Jack, gave.
It is not my personal opinion seeing as I am a girl and cannot personally answer this question. =]

i have been going out with this guy for like 3 weeks now. and everytime he trys to french kiss me i freeze up. and go mmm noo. nott now. or something stupid like that. and i want to kiss him i really do. but i dont know why i freeze up like that. its like a reflex or something.
any idea whyy?
thankss in advance

Maybe you really aren't ready. It's totally ok. I mean, 3 weeks really isn't that long. You might not be completely comfortable with your boyfriend yet. It's alright though.

i'm looking for songs that are sad, about losing someone (a death), or about breaking up with someone, missing the relationship you had with someone, saying sorry, etc. slow songs would be best, preferably alternative music. thank you.

This is a regularly asked question:

So you've probably all heard about jamie lynn spears being pregnant

But I'm curious to hear every ones opinion on this .

Good or bad what are your opinions on jamie lynn spears being pregnant at 16 do you all think its a bad influence on youngsters? What do you all think ?

Jessica Martinez, - Seventeen Magazine

I agree with Theymos and Matt, below.
People get pregnant and have children everyday, even at her age and younger. Just because she's "famous" and in the public eye, she gets a lot more attention, and people talk a heck of a lot more about her.


I don't think it's sad, I'm not happy for her, it makes no difference to me or anybody else except her and her family.
I also don't think it's right for us to judge her, either, because it's her life and she's handling it responsibly enough.

is it wrong to hang out with my best friends boy friend when she is not there even though we were friends before they started going out...

Not if you're only hanging out as friends.
But I'd ask her about it if it seems to bother her?

can anyone recommend a piano piece that's sad, slow, and mournful? i'm looking for a piece to play and i'm a sucker for anything slow, minor, and with weird harmonies :) thanks!

Phantom of The Opera?
But the slower (obviously) songs, like "Music of the Night", "All I Ask Of You" or "Think of Me"?


Happy Holidays!

I have a ton of clothes, but I never feel like I have anything to wear. What are some cute fashion ideas for this winter?

Layers all the way.
Scarves and knit hats are great, too.
Uggs/boots in general.
Chunky jewelry.
Skinny jeans.
PINK (Victoria's secrt) hoodies.
Long dresses over long sleeved shirts.
Hope this helps =]

What are some positive choices for me to do after when someone calls you something rude?

Ignore them, or say something like, "I'm sorry you feel that way." or "Ok, if that's honestly how you feel." Or just smile and walk away.
- Don't say anything rude back, as it will probably only make things worse.

if you and your boyfriend is going out for 3 weeks and you guys were arguing a lot and he breaks up with you even though he still likes you and he wants you back after 5 days of break up would you still get back with him?

Honestly? No. If he broke up with you after only 3 weeks, and then waitied a week to tell you he wanted to get back together, I don't think it's worth it. I've been through and on-and-off again relationship, and it wasn't worth it, at all.
But, if you think it can work, go for it.

Where do you get your music video downloads and movies/tv shows and iPod games from? Do you buy them from iTunes or is there someplace offering them for free?

I get all mine from iTunes.
Like somebody mentioned below, there isn't a legal way to get these things for free.

okay so i took my boyfriends ipod so i can bring it home & put pictures & music on it for him. his computer won't let him. i don't have itunes so i tried using windows media player.. well i tried it & everything & i copied the music on there but it didn't show up on the ipod. so i was like okay w.e. i plugged it back in & the screen on the ipod says connected eject before disconnecting. & i disconnect it & the screen is like froze. it was working fine before & i just plugged it back in & it froze the ipod. i tried everythinggg. plugging it back in, unplugging it, turning it off; it won't let me. i pushed & helded every bottom. i swear i tried everything. i will not become unfroze. i told my boyfriend & hes like well fix itt. i'm like freaking out, i don't know what i did to itt. any ideas on what i did & how i can fix it ??? please help me.

thank youuuuuu.

Mine has done this a few times, too. The fist time, I held down the play/pause and middle button and it started working.


The 2nd time I freaked out because I, like you, tried EVERYTHING and it just would not become unfrozen. So, I just let it sit for a little while, and then it went to the screen with the apple and began working again.


So try letting it sit for a little bit and see if that does anything. If not, try the Apple website:

Sorry, I didn't know what catagory to put this question under.
Is it true that after about a year the SPF on sun screen weakens? Do I really need to buy new sun screen every summer or can I just use up the stuff left over from the summer before?
Thanks for your help!

Here's a great website:
http://www.reflectionscenter.com/skin_sunscreen.htm


"Some sunscreen preparations actually have expiration dates printed on the label. In the absence of this information, one should throw out any sunscreen that is over 3 years old."
