What does the phrase "wearing your heart on your sleeve" mean?

I think it means you kind of just express how you feel about someone. Like, your very open with your emotions. You dont have a problem saying how you feel. If you love someone you tell them. Thats what it means.

what does "jocking" and "hot linking" mean on xanga icon sites?

You took the icons directly off of their site, and put them on yours. In other words, you stole it.

Is magic real? Can you really hypnotize people? I saw this thing on tv where this guy made this girl float..sounds totally not real but if you saw it you would probably believe it. But anyways, is it actually real?

Well i dont think its real. But I never understand how magicians do the things they do. So for all i know, it could be real.

Okay well yesterday was my first day of a new school. I didnt know anyone but I met this guy and we kind of walked together and sat with each other at the schedule place. He's so cute and really cool, i dont have any classes with him...how do i get to know him? I dont have his number or intantmessanger.

Well since you dont have his number, next time you talk to him ask him for his number then (and his email.) You will see him again at school. And you will get to know him more. Dont worry about it. You'll see him at lunch & things like that. And you'll get to know him then.

okay well ill be 16 in less than a month, and already my family and friends are asking what i want... i have no idea... so i need some help on what to get for a 16 year old girl... i really want a car... but i doubt my parents will do that, and i was thinkin a tiffanys neckalce and one of those sequin purses... but what else is there?!! please help!!

- money (best idea)
- gift cards
- makeup
- jewelry
- cds
- movies
- a cell fone, but you probably have one already
- an ipod (if you dont have one)

money is probably what you should do and ask for the tiffanys necklace & the sequin purse.. and then anything else you'd really love. If i were you i'd go to the mall and show your friends & family what you want. haha, well happy early birthday.

i have like horrible sleeping problems...like sometimes i dont even fall asleep till almost 3 in the morning. does anyone have any like tips or something to help me fall asleep?


thanks ♥

Heres something i found for you on the web that might help you out.

Tips for better daytime habits:
Do not nap during the day. If you are having trouble sleeping at night, try not to nap during the day because you will throw off your body clock and make it even more difficult to sleep at night. If you are feeling especially tired, and feel as if you absolutely must nap, be sure to sleep for less than 30 minutes, early in the day.
Limit caffeine and alcohol. Avoid drinking caffeinated or alcoholic beverages for several hours before bedtime. Although alcohol may initially act as a sedative, it can interrupt normal sleep patterns.
Don't smoke. Nicotine is a stimulant and can make it difficult to fall asleep and stay asleep. Many over-the-counter and prescription drugs disrupt sleep.
Expose yourself to bright light/sunlight soon after awakening. This will help to regulate your body's natural biological clock. Likewise, try to keep your bedroom dark while you are sleeping so that the light will not interfere with your rest.
Exercise early in the day. Twenty to thirty minutes of exercise every day can help you sleep, but be sure to exercise in the morning or afternoon. Exercise stimulates the body and aerobic activity before bedtime may make falling asleep more difficult.
Check your iron level. Iron deficient women tend to have more problems sleeping so if your blood is iron poor, a supplement might help your health and your ability to sleep.
Tips for a better sleep environment:
Make sure your bed is large enough and comfortable. If you are disturbed by a restless bedmate, switch to a queen- or king-size bed. Test different types of mattresses. Try therapeutic shaped foam pillows that cradle your neck or extra pillows that help you sleep on your side. Get comfortable cotton sheets.
Make your bedroom primarily a place for sleeping. It is not a good idea to use your bed for paying bills, doing work, etc. Help your body recognize that this is a place for rest or intimacy.
Keep your bedroom peaceful and comfortable. Make sure your room is well ventilated and the temperature consistent. And try to keep it quiet. You could use a fan or a "white noise" machine to help block outside noises.
Hide your clock. A big, illuminated digital clock may cause you to focus on the time and make you feel stressed and anxious. Place your clock so you can't see the time when you are in bed.
Tips for a better pre-sleep ritual:
Keep a regular schedule. Try to go to bed and wake up at the same time everyday, even on the weekends. Keeping a regular schedule will help your body expect sleep at the same time each day. Don’t oversleep to make up for a poor night’s sleep – doing that for even a couple of days can reset your body clock and make it hard for you to get to sleep at night.
Incorporate bedtime rituals. Listening to soft music, sipping a cup of herbal tea, etc., cues your body that it's time to slow down and begin to prepare for sleep.
Relax for a while before going to bed. Spending quiet time can make falling asleep easier. This may include meditation, relaxation and/or breathing exercises, or taking a warm bath. Try listening to recorded relaxation or guided imagery programs.
Don’t eat a large, heavy meal before bed. This can cause indigestion and interfere with your normal sleep cycle. Drinking too much fluid before bed can cause you to get up to urinate. Try to eat your dinner at least two hours before bedtime.
Bedtime snacks can help. An amino acid called tryptophan, found in milk, turkey, and peanuts, helps the brain produce serotonin, a chemical that helps you relax. Try drinking warm milk or eat a slice of toast with peanut butter or a bowl of cereal before bedtime. Plus, the warmth may temporarily increase your body temperature and the subsequent drop may hasten sleep.
Jot down all of your concerns and worries. Anxiety excites the nervous system, so your brain sends messages to the adrenal glands, making you more alert. Write down your worries and possible solutions before you go to bed, so you don't need to ruminate in the middle of the night. A journal or "to do" list may be very helpful in letting you put away these concerns until the next day when you are fresh.
Go to sleep when you are sleepy. When you feel tired, go to bed.
Avoid "over-the-counter" sleep aids, and make sure that your prescribed medications do not cause insomnia. There is little evidence that supplements and other over-the-counter "sleep aids" are effective. In some cases, there are safety concerns. Antihistamine sleep aids, in particular, have a long duration of action and can cause daytime drowsiness. Always talk to your doctor or healthcare practitioner about your concerns!
Tips for getting back to sleep:
Do visualization. Focus all your attention on your toes or visualize walking down an endless stairwell. Thinking about repetitive or mindless things will help your brain to shut down and adjust to sleep.
Get out of bed if unable to sleep. Don’t lie in bed awake. Go into another room and do something relaxing until you feel sleepy. Worrying about falling asleep actually keeps many people awake.
Don't do anything stimulating. Don't read anything job related or watch a stimulating TV program (commercials and news shows tend to be alerting). Don't expose yourself to bright light. The light gives cues to your brain that it is time to wake up.
Get up and eat some turkey. Turkey contains tryptophan, a major building block for making serotonin, a neurotransmitter, which sends messages between nerve cells and causes feelings of sleepiness. Eating foods containing tryptophan raise the levels of serotonin produced in the body, which in turn increase a person's feeling of sleepiness. It is best to eat tryptophan on an empty stomach. Other foods, besides turkey, that contain a notable amount of tryptophan are: milk, cottage cheese, yogurt, ice cream, chicken, cashews, soy beans and tuna.
Consider changing your bedtime. If you are experiencing sleeplessness or insomnia consistently, think about going to bed later so that the time you spend in bed is spent sleeping. If you are only getting five hours of sleep at night, figure out what time you need to get up and subtract five hours (for example, if you want to get up at 6:00 am, go to bed at 1:00 am). This may seem counterproductive and, at first, you may be depriving yourself of some sleep, but it can help train your body to sleep consistently while in bed. When you are spending all of your time in bed sleeping, you can gradually sleep more, by adding 15 minutes at a time.

hope that helped..

Hullo

Just wondering, is it true that phones/cell phones can deepen the tone of your voice, especially a female one? Thanks.

I'm sure it can. A lot of people sound different on the phone. And we all sound differently than we hear ourselves. lol, well thats what i've heard. Kinda weird to me, but whatever. And yes, phones can make you sound differently.

Ok so I have this HUGE crush on this guy. But hes realllllllllllly shy. And doesnt talk at all! He already knows that I like him because my friends have been telling him for like 4 days. When they asked him if he liked me he said He didnt know and would have to think about it. Im shy too. Just not as shy as him. N I prefer the guy to ask me out AND start the conversation. Theres a dance on friday..How do I tell if he likes me or is jus being nice?

XoxoxoxoRetardoxoxoxoxoX

Well this is kind of tuff. But you should just talk to him. Most shy people can open up, when you know them better. I dont really know what you should do. But i think maybe you should just ask him yourself. Other than that, im not sure what you can do. Sorry this didnt help much im sure.

this is stupid but i'll give 5's. if you want to get motovated to do something like work out everyday or practice for a sport everyday does anyone have any ways that they get motovated for something like that? thanks in advanced

Okay, well i have somewhat of the same problem. and i havent really been motivated. lol, well what you can do, is just look at yourself in a mirror, if you are not happy with your weight when your looking in the mirror, it will motivate you to exsersize. i know that sounds retarded but it does help to do that. other things that may help is making exsersize fun. One thing i always like to do, and it keeps me in shape, is swimming. Swimming is fun, and it gives you excersize. And you dont need to be motivated for sports & practice if you are on a team, because you have to do it anyways. lol, you know what i mean? well you can also, set goals for yourself. Set things you want to accomplish. That helps your motivation. Try to do something like, i'll jumprope monday, i'll swim tuesday, i'll jog a mile wednesday, etc. that could be a good start. There is plenty of things you can do.
