about
My name's Jennifer, but I'm more commonly known as Jen or Sporkster. I love lots of things/people including God; volleyball and soccer, my two favorite sports; and cheese. I also love Pi, but that's a story for another day.
I've been answering questions on Advicenators for over three years now, so I'm pretty experienced with it. I love answering questions and helping you out anyway I can, so if you've got a question, just ask me!
Ask me about: Christianity, athletics, physical fitness, love-life, relationships, friendships, HTML queries, book suggestions, music suggestions, musical theory, history, English (or Spanish) grammar, Paint Shop Pro 8, skin problems, sports injuries, "punk" fashion, nutrition, etc.

Q: If it was God's plan to have Jesus die, rise again, etc. etc., why does everyone have an ax to grind with the Jews? And wasn't it Romans that killed Jesus?
A: It doesn't matter WHO killed Jesus, the fact is that he was meant to die and did before being raised from the dead by God.
So yeah, Jews, Romans, whoever. Doesn't matter.
Q: I love books! I love to read, I'm 15, so I need some more good book suggestions. I like to sci-fi and fantasy books, and I love Nicholas Sparks. So, anyone got any good suggestions? 5's for good suggestions.
A: Wow, you sound alot like someone I know. =D
Here's an excerpt of my reading list from the past few months:
The Scarlet Letter, by Nathaniel Hawthorne
Wuthering Heights, by Charlotte Bronte

That should keep you occupied for awhile.
If you want more suggestions, feel free to ask!
Q: does anyone know a quick product i could use to clean my face after gym, cause it feels so gross after gym! by the way, my face is reaaaaaaaly reeeaaaally prone to acne and i always have pimples so does anyone know of a really quick, oil free, non acne causing product? it needs to be quick cause i have to get out of the locker room pretty quickly
A: If you're looking for an easy to use acne face wash, I would suggest either Olay deep cleansing face wash with witch hazel, or Clearasil 3 in 1 acne defense cleanser. Both of these products are easy and quick to use--Just wet your face, lather, rinse, pat dry.
If you're looking for more of a cleansing pad type of thing, I'd go with Oxy or Stridex for sensitive skin.
Q: I like your new layout
A: Thanks for the complement, but if you want to complement me again in the future do so via e-mail.
If you've read the previous site news, you'll understand why.
Basically, the inbox is not supposed to be used for private messaging. This can be done elsewhere, whether through AIM, MSN, e-mail, etc.
Hate to nag, but it's got to be done.
Thanks, though.
Q: I'm getting all these popups!! What kind of thing should I download to stop them?? Thanks.
A: Download Mozilla Firefox.
It's a relatively new browser, sort of like Netscape but much better. The pop-up blocker that comes with it is great. I have no pop-ups now.
http://www.mozilla.com/
Or, you know, check a few of the highest rated pop-up blockers on download.com.

Hope these helped!
Q: My height is really starting to get me really angry, for a girl, i guess i am actually TOO tall. Im 15 and im around 5'10'' and every single day someone just has to say something about it and it is really just making me angry the comments and the slurs and juswt everything and its so complicated, its not something small because its not something i can change, people always make fun of me and whenever im with any of my friends i feel so left out because when we take pictures when we have to stand up together i just feel like a giant cuz the rest of them are normal and everyone always makes fun of me. Its upsetting me so badly. Im always known as the tall girl and i just feel so left out I cant handle it because everyone ALWAYS says stuff and i cant ignore it and every time someone does it builds up inside of me. I just want to feel normal. I cant get into modeling etc..so what should i do to make myself feel better about myself? and i dont have any tall friends to hang out with to make myself feel..more fit in. Any suggestions on what to do?
A: I'm almost 15 and 5' 5", and let me tell you: I would LOVE to be as tall as you.
In fact, most girls would. Probably the only reason they're making fun of you or joking about your height is the fact that they're a bit jealous.
You're so lucky to be blessed with that kind of heighth! If you play basketball, that's great. Pretty good for volleyball too. And guys LOVE tall, skinny girls.
Don't feel left out just because you're taller than other people. They probably joke about it just because they wish they were as tall as you.
Don't let it get to you, really.
Be happy!
Q: can someone give me a sentene with the word BEDLAM in it?
rate 5s
A: Do your own homework.
Here's a good idea:
Get a dictionary. Look up the word "bedlam." Write a sentence that uses the word "bedlam" accurately.
Really, it's not that hard to do. Laziness nowadays...
Q: On AIM, what does the world "meh" mean?
A: This could also be an expression of boredom, indifference, or incredulence.
Examples:
"So how was school today?"
"...meh."
"What do you think of this new haircut?"
"Meh, it's ok."
"I got the new kick-ass System of a Down album and you haven't!"
"MEH!"
Q: help i just got my dog some shoes from pet's mart, and they're sooooo cute! and we just got them today, but she walks really funny and weird in them... like she lifts up her feet too high and walks slow, and doesn't really want to move... do you think she just needs to get used to them... and do you think that once she gets used to them she'll start walking normally? if you think she will, how long do you think it'll take? we only put it on her feet when she goes outside, and she goes outside like after every few hours or something.
please help i rate high!!!
P.S. also, if you have a dog that actually has shoes too, then tell me how your dog was walking at first, and if it ever got used to it, and all that stuff!!! please give me some details so i'll know exactly!!!!
A: EDIT
You said: "that's just retarded. how are you supposed to walk her or put a leash on her?"
I have never seen a cat submit to someone leading them on a leash. Most cats are too independent for that kind of thing, and one would not be able to "walk" them.
Also, I wouldn't be calling people stupid when you can't even form a grammatically correct, coherent sentence. In this case, I believe "u" "r" the stupid one.
=)
If you don't want advice, don't ask for it sweetie.
/EDIT
Dogs aren't supposed to wear shoes, ok? You may think they look "cute" or whatever, but your dog obviously doesn't like them.
It could be hurting her feet by restricting her paws.
If you don't want her paws getting muddy, put her on a leash and take her outside to do her business.
She's not going to get used to it. If she doesn't like it, she's not ever going to like it. It's like cats with water.
Also, in response to your feedback on a previous answer, I've never seen a cat on a leash...do people actually do that?
Q: I'm in the mood to read some good books. Does anybody have any recommendations (preferably from young adult or if not from there than not too boring and old lady like). Thanks!
A: To Kill a Mockingbird - Harper Lee
Jane Eyre - Charlotte Bronte
Crime and Punishment - Fyodor Dostoyevsky
All works by J.R.R. Tolkein
Great Expectations,
Hard Times,
Oliver Twist,
and any other works by Charles Dickens
The Golden Compass,
The Subtle Knife, and
The Amber Spyglass - Philip Pullman
All-American Girl - Meg Cabot
The Princess Diaries - Meg Cabot
A Ring of Endless Light - M. Le'Enge or something like that. She also wrote the Wrinkle in Time, etc.
Q: Why do Americans who have some Irish ancestry in them feel the need to be all proud about it? Some of these people are 2nd or 3rd greneration Americans and have never even left the country.
A: Nonsense! I'm proud of my Irish heritage because Ireland is full and rich with history and myth.
Because I'm part Irish, I've always been interested in Irish/Celtic mythology, and being from the country these stories all came from is sort of neat.
Also, the country is absolutely one of the most beautiful places on earth--except for North Carolina. =)
So, yeah.
Not everyone is simply proud of their Irish heritage for the drinking/alcoholic aspect.
Q: What is the curse of Eve????? sorry i need to know fast.............. thanks
A: The Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil was not necessarily an apple tree. It could have been any kind of fruit tree. *shrugs* Doesn't really matter I guess.
Anyway, God gave Adam and Eve a whole huge garden with millions of trees and told them to not eat from *one*. God wanted to keep Adam and Eve innocent, this is probably why he told them not to eat of it.
So Satan was all rebelious and stuff, and he wanted to get Adam and Eve to go against God's command.
He told Eve that God was just afraid that if they ate of it, they would be just as smart as He was. Eve took a bite, offered some to Adam, and they both got their butts kicked out of the garden of Eden for sinning.
That's why men have to work hard and child-birth is painful for women (example, menstruation and actual labor).
Q: On my homework the question is:
EXPAND 5(a-3)
how would I do this?
A: Just giving you a few other multiplicative properties to help you out:
Distributive Property of Multiplication --
a(b + c) = ab + ac
Ex. 4(7 + 11) = 4(7) + 4(11) = 72
Commutative Property of Multiplication --
ab = ba
Ex. 5(4) = 4(5) = 20
Associative Property of Multiplication --
a(bc) = (ab)c
Ex. 2(4 x 5) = (2 x 4)5 = 40
Identity Property of Multiplication --
1a = a
Ex. 1(6) = 6
Multiplicative Inverse Property --
1/a x a/1 = 1
Ex. 1/7 x 7/1 = 1
I hope this information can help you on other math homework you may have--just make a reference to this anytime you need it.
Q: ok my school is doing a tabacco awareness and we have to make posters and the winner gets their poster on a road sign...i have to slogans in mind
They're Rich and Your Dead
or
Don't let them take you life to
which one do u guys like better!?!
A: They're Rich and You'RE Dead
I like that one best, just make sure you spell it right on the poster. That would be quite embarrassing.
Good luck with your poster!
Q: ok i just started algebra in school yesterday, since it was my first day and in middle school i only did pre-algebra so i dont really know algebra.... I need some help on questions
one of them is 1 7/8 + 3/4... any idea??
5 3/4 * 1/3.......... 2 1/5 divided 4/5
2/5- 1/10
IF ANYONE COULD HELP ME out with how too do these... i only did 1 of each kind so i can learn it but i need help on how to do each one...
Also in the directions it says Perform the indicated skill... (i get that in other words it means do the question)... and simplify your answer if possible (does that mean make it the smallest it can be??... im pretty sure) BUT IF U HELP me i will RATE YOU A FIVE!!!!!
A: Ok, set it up like this
1 7
8
3
+ 4
_______
Change your denominators to a number that's divisible by both or all of your current denominators like this:
1 7 x1 7
8 x1 = 8
3 x2 = 6
+ 4 x2 = 8
_______________
Add your fractions:
7/8 + 6/8 = 13/8, or 1 5/8.
Add that number to your original whole number(s),
So 2 5/8 is your answer.
Try to use that method to answer your next two problems, but if you'd like me to explain them more in depth, email me and I'll be glad to help you. =)

Q: Hey. This is gonna be the stupidest question, but I really need help. My brother and his friends (they're all about 23, I'm 16) are doing this movie. It's supposed to be really stupid and pointless, and I'm some kind of princess. But I'm supposed to look really stupid, like with my costume and hair. They've already made the 1st one and they said I can be in the 2nd. Well, I'm supposed to go over his house today and practice, but I think I'm supposed to be in costume. But I have NO IDEA what to wear. If it helps, I have a princess costume from a recent dance recital. It's mostly white, with some yellow. But how do I make it look stupid? Or is there something else I can wear? And what do I do with my hair?! Please help, I don't want to look like I have no idea what I'm doing. I want to look stupid, but I want them to think I know what I'm doing! Please help!!! They think I'm cool, I wish to keep that reputation!
A: For a visible effect of looking stupid, use lots of gaudy makeup--bright blue eyeshadow, visible foundation, lots of blush, bright red lipstick, etc.
Although it would be best just to act out the part, i.e., acting stupid/clueless/oblivious/cheeky. Act like a blonde stereotype. You know, like Jessica Simpson. Stupid, but adorably so.
I'm sure you won't lose your reputation with your friends over something this silly. Just have fun making the movie.
(Oh, and if they ever put it up on the web, send me a link. =] )
Q: Do you ever smile in pictures? I was checking out your band website and your are such a stone face...
A: I look weird when I smile. =| Also, the pictures on the band site were supposed to be stone-faced--we were trying to parody nowadays emo/punk bands.
Check out my "emo" picture on my Advice Column. Tehe, once again, trying to parody "emo" people.
I've got a few pics of me smiling in my Tucker and I album...as well as my sexy feet.

Have fun.
Q: I wear a DD size bra. Like, does that make me fat? And do boys like boobs that r like, DD size? Is it common do wear DD, or is that like wayy huge. Please be serious nd just answer, i'll rate high
A: Having larger breasts doesn't necessarily mean you're fat--there are some relatively skinny people with large breasts.
Not all guys like big breasts. In fact, I know some that think they're gross and look nasty/slutty. Most guys I know don't really like anything bigger than a C. *shrugs* It differs from guy to guy. It depends on how you present yourself. Hopefully, you don't try to flaunt it in a slutty way, because that's just stupid.
Honestly, I don't know many people with breasts that large. There may be a lot of people with that size, but I don't know many myself.
Q: can you tell me some good books that you have read about i love to read and I dont what books are good!
twistedteen25
A: OMGLOL! ly3k, To Kill a Mockingbird was t3h awesome. As was the Hobbit, but we already discussed that.
If you like girly books, the Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants is a good series.
If you're into Anime/Manga, check out InuYasha or Ghost in the Shell.
If you like classics, go with Jane Eyre or Crime and Punishment.
What kind of books are you looking for, exactly?
Oh, and thanks for the inbox. =)
Q: Hey Everyone, Whats up?
You Know Jessica Simpson's new "Dessert line" Of beauty probucts? I was wondering, Can you Really eat them? Or Not? I read the back of a Bottle to see the ingredients and I really couldn't tell. Anyone Know?
(Are they worth the price?)
-SLeK-
(If it matters, I'll rate and leave feedback!)
A: Yes! My friends and I were at the mall during a band trip, and we tried some of it on. It tastes so effin' good. We were walking down the mall licking our arms, and people were staring at us like we were freaks or something (not that we're not, but, haha).
They're definitely edible, but only in small quantities. Don't just pour yourself a glass of the perfume, 'cause that's probably going to make you sick.
I don't think they should be as expensive as they are (it was like $50 for either the lipgloss or the perfume. That's not exact, but you can check it on any Claire's site/store/whatever.), but they sure are good to eat!
