Ask hailebop!




Did you ever wake up and wonder when your life became a soap opera? A bizzare mixture between 'Dawson's Creek' and 'Days of our Lives'?



I know I've had that feeling - that it's just all too dramatic and ridiculous, and wouldn't it be nice to go and under a nicely-furnished rock for a while? So, whilst I do not promise or claim to be an expert on how teenage boys minds work or how you can uncode your best friend's baffling behaviour, I'll always attempt to empathise and offer some honest words of advice.



I am 21, with a fairly dysfunctional life as a artsy student type. I've recently graduated with a degree in Philosophy, and am spending time working in the law before returning to university for further study. I still don't know what I want to do with my life, but I like where I am at the moment. I like shoes, bad television, chocolate cheescake and pretty things.



I am very busy at the moment, attempting to fund my life as a postgraduate (that's grad school to the Americans). I do still stop by quite a lot to help out with the admin stuff, but my column is pretty lame and inactive. Boo-hiss. I will however still endeavour to answer any questions that are sent my way, so feel free to send questions to my inbox.





Frequently Asked Questions


Actually, I made them up. But they are questions that I've seen more than once around this site (and, indeed, in the real world), and so have created general responses to them, linked below. It's a little sparse at the moment, but I'll be adding to the list as I think of more questions (and, er, answers to them).

My mom says I may have mono! What is mono and how can i cure it?! I am going to the doctor's today! And i'm a singer and I have aperformance next week do u think i will be able to perform by then or not??



The first step is to go to the doctors and have them check you out, as many bugs can have symptoms similar to the mono virus (tiredness, having a sore throat, general malaise) without actual being the virus. You'll need a blood test to confirm whether you have the virus or not. If you do, unfortunately it's unlikely that you'll be better for your performance, and it's important not to push yourself before your body is ready as this will actually slow your recovery. All you can do is rest, rest, rest and do the normal things like get plenty of fluids. I hope you feel better soon!
