Please note that at this time, I am not accepting questoins. I am having serious doubts about the amount of time and patience that this site requires of me, as well as how I fit into its structure. Becuase of that, I will not be checking advicenators for a while, and thus WILL NOT BE ABLE TO ANSWER YOUR QUESTIONS. Here's my intact profile, however, in case I come back.Welcome to my humble abode... or something.
My name is Brie, but you can just call me Wily (no, that's not my real last name). I'm an eighteen year old from rural Mid-Michigan (think Saginaw or Bay City, only surrounded by miles and miles of trees, corn, and sugar beets).
I'm an honor student, sort of. Not to brag, but I was Salutatorian of my high school class. I specialize in English, educational topics, and social studies, but I'm good with basic sciences and drama too.
I'm a big geek; I like to write and play RPGs, and my favorite video games ever are the Pokemon series. I'm actually a relatively well-known Pokemon master (I've moderated the forums of two bigger Pokemon fansites, and have been an on and off admin at one), and at the two sites where I became relatively popular I aquired the reputation of "The Pokemon Professor." However, that doesn't do me much good here, becuase who is going to ask about Pokemon on an advice site?
I don't have much experience with relationships but I have a natural nack for giving advice about them. I also don't know anything firsthand about things that we do not mention in polite company, but I know a lot about the science and psychology of them, so I'd be glad to answer safety-based questions--just don't ask me about technique, becuase I know nothing. I'll try to answer anything you throw at me, and many things that you don't, though, so feel free to try me.
Be warned though, I'm not afraid to tell it like it is. There are stupid questions, and if yours is one I will respectfully tell you so, and attempt to give you the information you need anyway. If you need to buck up and accept what's happening, I will say so. However, in this column I try to maintain a standard of respect, kindness, and helpfulness; you will not be flamed here. Unless you're a babyeater or something.
So, drop me a line, and I'll do what I can. Live long and prosper!
Requirements
Now, I know this is gonna kinda look stupid, what with this being an advice site at all, but I have a few simple requests for you.
- Do a search to make sure no one has already asked that question, or if they have, that their case is significantly different than yours. It's very frustrating when you have to answer the same question over and over again.
- Give your age and sex. I know, anonymity is a big deal, but it really helps me if I have an idea how old you are and what sex you are. This is especially relevent for questions about sex, relationships, and makeup.
- Try to use proper spelling and paragraph breaks I usually scan questions before reading them, and it's helpful to me if things are spelled properly and broken up if they're kind of long. Don't worry, if I actually choose to answer the question I read it all the way though, but scanning helps me get into the right frame of mind.
- Please avoid internet acronyms. These drive me insane. Quoting is acceptable (if you quote someone who said them in your questoni, that's fine). Also, some are ok. I will tolerate bf, gf, bff, lol, etc.
- Don't rate badly just becuase I told you something you didn't want to hear. Now, I know, this is a bit of a shocker--me basically begging for ratings, right? But I'm not. Basically, don't come to me expecting me to affirm what you already plan on doing, and then rate me down when I say it's a bad idea. If you're already so sure that you're going to reject my advice, then JUST DON'T ASK. Save us both the trouble. For the record, I'm not asking you to rate high. If I give dangerous advice, give me a one, and if I give bad advice,i give me a two, but don't rate down good advice just because it's not what you wanted me to say. I do advice, not affirmations.
If you do not follow these guidelines, I may not answer your quesiton. I will not say that I won't, because with some questions you don't need to say some of these things, and with some of these guidelines, you can't do anything until I've answered. But please make my life easier. That's what I'm trying to do for yours.
advice
My friend made a Flash movie and I am doing the voice acting for one of the characters. The character has one line, which has to be said very quickly, loudly and forcefully. Every time I say this line into my microphone and listen to it there is a little static "explosion" on the hard consonants. Short of getting a new microphone, what can I do to lessen this?
Have you tried holding the microphone slightly to the side? If you hold it out of the path of your mouth, over by your cheek but still close to your mouth, it might reduce or eliminate that loud sound.
(Rating: 5) I never even thought of that! Thank you!
