I LOVE LOVE LOVE Music and right behind that is the rest of the arts like Dance Acting Poetry and Drawing...I think friends are thee most important thing in life and having fun along with awesome memories is always a plus as well. To me their are 3 main things in life:
Self-expression
Self-determination
and the right to never grow old!!!

\m/
SO if you have questions or need an opinion on music, life, or friends or anything I am here to try and help!!!

I want to get my belly button peirced, my mom won't let me. Is there any health risks if you do it yourself? (link)
Well here I go..being I have many piercings myslef heres my speal...piercing anything yourslef from your ears to your tongue is a bad idea, specially if you dotn haev the right tools..When professionals pierce anything other than your ears they use what is called as a hollow needle..this is used to help prevent invention, scar tissue and a bump of access skin (like when people get their cartildge done with just a regular needle like at clairs or sumthing with a gun they get like a weird bump behind their ear becuase all the gun does is dislocate the flesh so that a ring can be put in its place..) anyway my pint is the hallow needle actually removes the skin for a smoother healing process.. doing your bellybutton yourself without a hallow needle could be really bad. Even if you did have a hallowneedle you dont know where certain nerves are in the abdoman and could really hurt yourself.. But you are a rebellious teen so my advice to you is if you really do end up doing it yourslef make sure you have sum sort of antibacterial substance like peroxide to sterilize whatever your using to pierce..oh and heres another thing..most belly button rings are 14 gauge (just incase you didnt know) so you would have to make the hole big enough to fit a normal belly button ring that should be made out of surgical steel or titanium to reduce the bodies allergic reaction to a forien object being jammed in it..This is for whether its done professionally for by yourslef-after its pierced you need to clean it every day with bactine and once in a while make a solution of Sea-salt and water and soak the peircing to get any thing that might have gotten into the piercing until its fully healed which could take up to 9 months..and to help reduce scar tissue vitimn E oil is a plus to dab around the peircing every couple of days..oh and once its peirced dont remove the original belly button ring for alteast 3-4 months to reduce re-tearing the skin starting to heal..well that concludes my stupid lecture sorry to make you read all that!! Hope I helped you tho! ;)


What are some cool stuff to do on the weekends? me and my friends need more cool things to do.
thanks in advance. (link)
*sigh* isnt boredom wonderful? NOT I think all teenagers have delt with the weekend blues of having 'nothing to do'..Well I myself since I have grown up in a very small town(and my small I mean no starbucks, no movie theaters, no mall)
so heres a list I have developed and hope it helps:
-Have a group of friends come over and have a like a game night
-GO do sumthing outside its fun and gives you excersize like football, hockey, tennis, soccer, frisbee, kite flying, biking, softball, basketball....i think you get the idea
-you could also pick a friends room and have everone rearange it or redecorate it (with his/hers permission ofcourse)
-if you have camera you could have like a photo shoot and take pictures in your favorite outfits and print them out into your own litle magazine lol
- Pick a day or two and voulenteer for sumthing, helping out for your community is the best thing ever to do
-Look up tour dates for your favorite Singers/Bands and go see them
-Rent movies
-Have parties and invite a bunch of ppl and have fun for no real reason ;)
-and then theres the usual ones of going to the movies, mall, resturants, and simply hanging out.

hope i gave you some new ideas ;)
