Q: In your opinion, what was the coolest dinosaur?

Stegosaurus duh.

Q: my cousin died a few years ago and i wanna get a tattoo for him. i'm a girl and i want it on my upper back, like my shoulder blade .. and i want it to be small but how small can they make it? i want a cross with his name and maybe some dates but i dont want it too big .. any ideas? i just dont want it to be big

What was important to him? Music? Cars? Was there a trip you guys took? Incorporate that. For instance if he liked to play the guitar, get a guitar or a music note. Something really simple and understated. It doesnt have to have a name on it or writing. And when people ask about it, it will give you something good to talk about. Sometimes the best way of honoring someone's memory is talking about it to perfect strangers and friends

Q: When guys get into high school, are they all perverts? Do they change or what?

Yes... I mean no... They are normal boys. I mean seriously hormones are going crazy, people are starting to couple up, and sexuality is all over music, TV, and billboards.

The good news is, it passes. "Pervert" is a strong term, they are just as fascinated with things as you gals are. The trick is to find someone who keeps his hands to himself.

Q: k so iknow girls thin k about their loved ones like bf or the guy they are dating while listening to love songs...but i was wondering ..do guys od the same???

Yes we do. And it always stays with them.
I still cant listen to various songs by The Smiths, The Cure, Coldplay, or Smoking Popes without thinking of one of the girls in my past.

Q: Okay.

Would you rather have a girl that is easy and hot...
or
Would you rather have a girl who is hard to get and smart-nerdy-ish.

Yes... and YES!

Depends on the guy.
I like mine like I like my coffee. Hot, dark and bitter

Q: Alright so my sixteenth birthday has come and gone. I had won a big package by a recording studio in New York City and for a week we called and they told us that everything was set. Then the day of the party we went and they had booked paying customers and told us that they wouldn't do my party. I was so upset. So this year I want to do something nice. I'm not really a people person, not many friends who enjoy the same things as me, but I always go on shopping sprees so that's no longer actually special. My birthday is March 19 and I have no idea what I want to do. Does anyone have any ideas for something fun? I like Fashion, make-up, music, starwars, gossip girl. I hate big get togethers, dancing, and ' friends' get togethers.

If you have a backyard, get a DVD projector, and put a sheet up, watch STAR WARS in your backyard with your friends (or whatever floats your boat) You could dress it up with little garden lights and tiki lamps, be a nice little garden party... sophisticated yet not really trying.

Q: So I spent the whole of last week snowboarding. Because I'm a person who just goes for things and doesn't think about the consequences, I decided to buy a helmet. I was practicing jumps and I intended to keep my head safe, because I'd already hurt it a few times.
I saw my friend at the end of the week, and she looked at my helmet and said ''God, you're such a pussy. Only amateurs wear helmets''
I personally thought that wanting to keep myself safe doesn't make me a ''pussy'' nor an amateur. Or am I just over-reacting?
What are your thoughts on this?

You should ask yourself what kind of person your friend is. (I mean in how she talks)
Just because she uses that language to you or her friends doesnt mean she is rude, she is probably just being "one of the guys" or trying it out.

Case in point: I hang out with a bunch of Aplha males. We are jerks, talk trash and have a good time. If you are in our circle and we like you, you are bound to get called things once in a while (but we expect you to come back with snappy answers too) When chicks do it, we dig it.

I may be wrong on this, but I'm just judging it by the circle of people I hang out with, we've lost many an associate by the way we kid.

Q: My 17th birthday is this sunday and I don't know what I want to do. I'm not inviting many people just my close friends. What are some ideas that we can do? Either fun stuff we can do at my house, in my neighborhood and/or around town. Creative ideas are appreciated.

Get a movie projector, and have a movie night in your backyard.

Q: in "dark knight" the phrase keeps getting repeated that he is a vigilante, that part i get. i dont understand how he is an "outlaw" though? can someone explain that to me?

Dictionary says:
1: a person excluded from the benefit or protection of the law2 a: a lawless person or a fugitive from the law b: a person or organization under a ban or restriction c: one that is unconventional or rebellious

Hey that was easy!

Q: So me and my boyfriend started dating on Christmas. We used to talk non stop on the phone. But now..we're just kinda silent. And I want to talk to him..but I dont know what to talk to him about. We still like each other..and he still come's over all the time. But..we just have nothing to talk about..we're so different. He's all sporty..on the football team..that kinda thing. And I'm more of a stay at home person..I sit and listen to music..watch movies..I'm into the whole photography computer thing..but even though we're so different..we get along great..but we have NOTHING to talk about..which I dont really understand.

Any suggestions?

No. Sounds like your still in high school. Your supposed to date around and find what’s best for you anyway. This is the time in your life you can afford to be superficial. Who knows? Maybe you’ll break his heart and he will stop playing football, join a band and get all super famous playing emo songs. Then you’ll be to blame.
*sigh*
IF you really want to save it... Ask yourself: What did you talk about before you got together on the phone? Nothing? Guess what your doing that now. Since he likes games, and you like computers, buy him a sports game, you two create a team, and compete online. That’s love busygamer style.
