I'm 28 years old. I graduated from Michigan State University with my Bachelor of Science in Chemistry. GO GREEN! Now I'm a high school chemistry teacher in New York City living with my husband in a small studio apartment we pay way too much money for.
I've been on this site for 14 years as of March 23, 2020.
You may have seen me as CuxMiBeckNow7, but I've since shortened my name.

what are some good books?
14/f
Oh books!
I love books a lot =]
My favorite books, and the books that I'm also obviously suggesting to you are:
The City of Ember by Jeanne DuPrau
The People of Sparks by Jeanne DuPrau
Harry Potter series by J. K. Rowling
Twilight by Stephenie Meyer
New Moon by Stephenie Meyer
Eclipse by Stephenie Meyer
The Great Gatsby by F. Scott Fitzgerald
The Catcher in the Rye by J. D. Salinger
To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee
I could add more, but I think those will keep you occupied for awhile =]

I know nothing about baseball, but Im going with a group of people to a baseball game, Im wondering if you sit on team sides for baseball games or not, so if Im wearing a shirt supporting one team I dont want to be mixed in with people of the other team if that makes sense.
It depends if the game is amateur or professional. Most professional games, it doesn't matter where you sit. But if it's a little league game for elementary kids, then most likely there are sides.
From the way you ask it, it sounds like this is more than high school baseball, and therefore it won't matter where you sit.
And even if you do sit next to someone or a group of people supporting the other team, who cares? Everyone's watching the game anyway ;]

Ok, so i'm going to raise money for a charity, but, i havent narrowed it down to which one i want to do it for yet. there's just so many and im not familiar with most charities. I've looked up some, but if anyone has any really good charities they'd like me to know more about, could you let me know? thank you.
My favorite charity of all time is the Humane Society. It helps animals who have been abused, abandoned, or just strays, find a home to live in. I know that may sound stupid, but these animals are constantly suffering, and it breaks my heart every time I go there and see how many of them still don't have homes =/.
Another great charity is the American Red Cross. Here's some information about how to donate: http://american.redcross.org/site/PageServer?pagename=ntld_main
Here's a few websites that can help you find a charity:
http://www.charitywatch.org/toprated.html
http://www.charitynavigator.org/
Though I highly suggest and advocate the Humane Society =]

I want to put a blog on my website and want for each post, people can comment. how do i do that? and what's the html for it?
I can already tell this isn't what you want, but it's the best I can come up with it =]
Use Blogger- it's really awesome. I actually have a blog through it.
Here's the link to get it set up:
https://www.google.com/accounts/NewAccount?service=blogger&continue=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.blogger.com%2Floginz%3Fd%3D%252Fcreate-blog.g%26a%3DADD_SERVICE_FLAG&hl=en&sendvemail=true&followup=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.blogger.com%2Floginz%3Fd%3D%252Fhome%26a%3DSERVICE_ONLY&naui=8
So then link your blog on your website. I think that makes it more organized to do, you know? If it's on a separate page, if people want to see it, they can. If they don't- they don't. And people can comment on the posts, too ;]
If you want to know about HTML, MySQL, etc., the best person on this site to ask is DangerNerd or theymos. They are brilliant ;]

My favorite suggestion is this, and it's something my sister did for her 1 year with her boyfriend. She made a scrapbook of the year they had with pictures and stuff. Though that took more time than it appears you have. They also went out on a picnic, and she made all the food. They went swimming and just had a nice time =].

ok...
so i dated my best friend...
and i know your not supposed to...
but i did, and believe it or not, it worked out well.
Unfortunately, after 2 years together, he out of the blue, decided he wasnt sure how he felt anymore, and we broke up.
At first, things were rough, we considered getting back together, and he knew he still had feelings for me.
Here we are, a year later. We are still best friends, and talk every day.
We never got back together, and after that first week, he never told me he loved me ever again.
I have never stopped loving him through it all.
I've seen a therapist, and have pretended its not happening.
I've told him my feelings, then didnt mention it again after he said he felt different.
I've dated others in hope that maybe it would make me forget.
I've tried everything! But, a year later, and I still love him.
I'm not even asking what to do anymore...
I would honestly just like to hear some thoughts on this...
am I nuts or what? should I continue living life unhappy like this? Is there anyhting I havent tried?
The only thing that will ever make being in love with someone wrong is if it's affecting your daily life. That is, if you're still completely devastated by it after 5 years. [Though, who am I to put a time limit on grief?] So, is it affecting your daily life?
If it isn't- don't worry about it. And I'm not going to be naive and say you can just forget right now in some simple and easy steps, because I know you can't from experience.
Just let time pass. Eventually, with time, of course, it will fade, and if it doesn't, well it will. =]
Don't worry about being in love with him. It's alright. You're on speaking terms, and everything is alright. You're still friends, and shouldn't that count for something?
I think you both know it isn't going to work out, so just let time be the judge of what is going to happen.
Again, the most important thing I can tell you is to relax and not let this eat at you. It only makes it worse.

I have had ance now for almost 4 years now and i havent had one time were i have had clear skin. i have gone to a derematolgst(srry for bad spelling)and he gave me two creme meds. and i have been using them every night and i still dont have clear skin. if u hav any tips please!!!!! help me
Here's an alternative method I'm sure you'll think is fake.
http://www.advicenators.com/qview.php?q=507367\
From that previous question:
Hey. I know this sounds weird, odd, strange, etc., but what I'm about to say to you ACTUALLY works:
Get some lemon juice. You got the lemon juice? Alright- now take the lemon juice- and take a Q-tip and dab some lemon juice onto your zit with the lemon juice. Just a thin layer- not the whole bottle, silly! =D
Alright- so doing this at night is the best thing to do- it will really reduce the size and shape of the zit- and you won't know it was there in a few days.
Make sure not to touch it with your fingers after you put on the lemon juice- the oils from your fingers will stop the effect.
Relax- everyone gets zits- so you're only normal =D.

OKay so i know this is a stupid question but i just wanna ask to make sure
So i was giving a h/j today and the guy jacked himself off while i got undressed (it was dry.. he had not came yet)
well he started to finger me afterward but he did not go in the hole... just like around it and stuff
so is there any way i could be pregnant..like with precum or anything.... like what are the chances?
btw i have never had sex or anything if that helps=\
Anytime sperm gets near a vagina- there is a chance of pregnancy. Yes, that means pre-cum, too.
If he had sperm on his finger, then yes- there is a chance. That chance may be slim, but it still is there.
Though I would say you should be fine, but to be sure- wait a few days and take a pregnancy test.
To debunk the rumor said by ADDiCT3DTOHiMx, sperm DOES NOT die when it hits the air. That is a lie.

i keep getting tempted to masterbate or have sex but i'm a christian, and if i do any of that, it'll be adulterous. how can i turn away from this temptation?

That site may help you out a bit.
http://christianteens.about.com/od/dating/tp/liessexdating.htm
So might that.
Just take it day by day and keep telling yourself that you won't do any of it until marriage. Always remind yourself of how you'll feel if you do save yourself for marriage. You WILL feel fantastic!

just got the part of Sandy in Grease! But I really need help because this is my first major lead (other than Veruca in Willy Wonka even though that doesn't really count) and I'm really nervous! Does anyone have any tips and any suggestions for this part?
First of all, congratulations!
I'm also in theatre, so I know how good it feels to get the lead =]
I've never done or seen Grease as a stage production, so my advice isn't specific.
Always concentrate. ALWAYS. Even in your first few rehearsals. This is the one thing that my director says ALL the time, and it really works. If you're concentrating and staying in character, you will do wonders, my friend ;].
Rehearsal is not limited to, and should NOT be limited to the time spent on the stage, in the choir room, or whatever. Rehearsal is also at home. Practice your lines and songs AT HOME as well as at rehearsal. You don't have to stress yourself out about it. Just take rehearsal at home in moderation. Look over only a few scenes a night, or over just one song per night. What I do know is that you sing the majority of the songs. So from the moment you get your script- take each night and work on a new song every night. Take it part by part and just practice.
This was something I wish someone had told me. I was the lead in Clue?, and if you've ever seen it, you know that the butler [my part] has 3/4 of the lines of the show. I was very sloppy about learning my lines, and at one of our rehearsals, I didn't know the second act AT ALL, and it was SO embarrassing. If you keep practicing your lines and such, that shouldn't happen to you.
If you aren't sure how to sing a part- ask your director. Don't be afraid to. They are there to DIRECT you, not to put you down. They put you in the part for a reason. They wouldn't have put you there if they didn't think you could do it ;]
Always remember not to get too cocky about having the lead. No one likes to see that. Be modest about your part and always have a positive attitude, and you will do just fine =]

I'm an 18 year old male, just graduated from high school. I made the mistake of speeding one too many times, and as a result, my license is suspended. Luckily, it got suspended right after I quit my job.
It's now summer. Naturally, like every other graduated senior, I like to stay out late with friends and my girlfriend. My mom has told me to call her when I end up staying the night somewhere, but I haven't been doing that because I don't want to wake her up (she wakes up early for work and needs her sleep).
She told me today that I need to get a job and come home by 1am every night. She is unwilling to take me to a job, so I don't know how I'd get there with a suspended license. And 1am? I'm 18, for goodness sake. She said she'll kick me out if I don't do those two things.
What do I do?
She is your mother, and on top of that, you are still living in HER household. That means that you have to follow her rules. I know, that sucks. I have to deal with it, too ;]
In other words, I don't think the 1am thing is very strict. Actually it's VERY lenient. Even my brother, who is now 19 and still lives with us [he's in college- staying on campus is too expensive], his curfew is often midnight or even earlier. I say you're getting it easy with that ;]
As for the job thing, I don't think that is fair for your mother to tell you to get a job without taking you. Then again, you shouldn't have been speeding, but who am I to judge.
I would approach her about taking you one more time to get a job, and if she absolutely refuses to take you, then I would ask a friend. If no one is able to take you, tell your mom about this, in a reasonable manner, and go from there.
I'm sorry if any of this sounded forceful and rude. It was meant to inform.

I wanna make him like me alot and people say just be yourself blah blah I am but does anyone have like tips on things to say to keep him thinking about you are how far to go with him without looking easy or maybe even some good flirting tips bottom line I want to stay in his mind and have him thinking about me like crazy but..I need tips from ya'll on how to do it...please...he;

YES, I realize that's about getting a girl to like a guy, but just switch the genders and the idea is the same. Some of the things in the list won't apply, but some will.
My point really is this: if you're going to change yourself just so this guy can like you more and keep you on his mind- what's the point? He's going to be thinking about a girl that ISN'T you. Sure- it's alright to BE YOURSELF and do this, but PLEASE do not change yourself just to get him to think of you like that. Do you understand what I mean?
Here's some good flirting tips:
[copied from a previous question I answered]
1. Smile! If you're not smiling, chances are the guy won't be interested.
2. Don't always talk about yourself, let him talk about himself, too! Balance the conversation. Yes, conversations are a HUGE way to flirt more indirectly ;].
3. Think about what you do. Don't just blindly go around flirting with everyone. Some people don't want to flirt, and you can tell by their body language, facial expressions, etc.
4. Be nice. I can't tell you how many times I've seen girls be complete bitches. It's SO irritating. If you're not nice, then it isn't worth the effort. Guys don't like bitches.
5. BE YOURSELF! I know you said not to say this, but as the above question told you, if you aren't yourself- who are you going to be? You aren't being truthful with the guy if you're making up things about yourself or you're doing things you normally wouldn't do. The guy will get the wrong impression and may like something about you that isn't even a part of you.
6. HAVE FUN! If you aren't at least doing that, I don't know what to tell you ;]

Whats the difference between diet coke and coke zero?
Diet Coke is made without sugar- meaning mainly Splenda.
Coke Zero has zero calories.
I think that's the only main difference.

So I have been thinking a lot about college lately and I have been set on being a news girl. cute right? ha right. Anyways, what would be some good things to look into before college like working for my schools newspaper right? I would really appreciate some other ideas ! thanks
Yes. Definitely become involved in your school's newspaper. Usually to do that you have to take some type of Journalism class- which is actually a really interesting class because the rules are continuously changing =].
Also try to get involved in the announcements somehow. Like the announcements at my school are broadcast to everyone on the TVs, and it's through a TV Broadcast class. If something like that is at your school, get involved in that.
Also, if your town/city has a newspaper, send in articles all of the time about sporting events, etc.
Basically get involved in anything dealing with Journalism.
Talk to your counselor- they would know more than me ;]

ok so i have a problem i went to this party the other day and it was both guys & gurls. most ppl left except for some ppl and they were pretty good friends so we were playing spin the bottle and it landed on me and the guy that spun it said to french kiss him in his room so we walked to his room and locked the door. THEN we just started making out, he put his hand in my shirt, i gave hime a lapdance, humping, all of that btw im 13F, and like he almost put his hand down my pants, we were rolling on the floor making out and all of that, we accidently thought we locked the door but we didnt and then we accidently opened the door and every1 saw us the saw everything we did and i feel it was wrong but i liked it all and so did he.
Then they spun the bottle again and they dared me and the same guy again, they dared me to do everything we did in front of every1 and we did. then my parents picked me up while we were doing everything.
HELLLLPPPPP!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
What is your question? Are you asking what to do now what your parents caught you?
Well this is what you need to do. If your parents were really offended by it, and you're HONESTLY sorry about it, then apologize.
If apologizing is not what you want to do, then I don't know what you can do. Maybe just let your parents know that you are likely going to continue your... escapades with making out, and that they should at least respect that you are old enough to make decisions for yourself.
When approaching your parents, don't be all immature and stuff. Act your age and be respectful. Do not give your parents a tone, and do not act as if you know everything. They are your parents and they deserve respect.
If that wasn't what you were looking for- I don't know how else to help you..

well i was reading a special JB edition of a magazine and it had like a 'real deal or fake fact' section. and one of the things were do demi and joe kiss in camp rock? and it said it was a real deal. now i know they didnt kiss. ive watched the movie 4 times. and i havent seen them kiss.
so does anyone know whats up?
Magazines aren't always truthful. They will say whatever they want. And in that case, they said that so that maybe more people would watch the movie.
I wouldn't trust magazines like that from now on.

can my girlfriend get pregnant if she masturbates me and then we both wash our hands and then i masterbate her without acctually fingering her?
The chances are very slim. Especially since you're both washing your hands. If you weren't washing your hands, the chances would increase.
If you are ever unsure about situations like these, a few of them are covered on http://www.coolnurse.com. It's really helpful =]
Also- always use protection if you don't want her to get pregnant. Even with what you were doing.
