about

Hey, I'm Elana... I'm 15 years old and I love to help people.. I know I know, everyone says that on this site, but I can be pretty good at giving advice sometimes. I'm into lots of sports, tennis, softball, and my new thing... Track, haha... I also dance, play piano (obviously) my saxophone (love it) and go online... A LOT! lol

Random stuff about me: I'm 5'1 and a 1/2".. I LOVE music..favorite bands are: switchfoot, green day, rooney, foo fighters, stone temple pilots, and any jazz music, my friends and family mean so much to me, things don't always go the way I want them to..(when does it ever work like that?) bowling rocks my world!! haha even if I suck! :) I'm extremely energetic and bouncy as my friends know, and I like to laugh, at anything...

If you need any advice at all just drop a question for me or IM me and I'll try to answer as best I can... thanks!

what you do is when you're looking at someone's profile and it says in the about me section "this profile was designed using tom's myspace editor 2.5 or 3" click on that link.. then choose your background and it'll give you a code. Then just put that code into your profile in the about me section and you'll have a background..

Hope I helped!

Why do people make fun of white people? I mean, it's just a color....Also, people will make fun of me because I'm Jewish and it hurts because Jews fought for their freedom just like black people, so why is skin color such a big deal?

Hey, I'm Jewish too, and white. Nobody should ever be made fun of because of their race or religion. Yes, the Jewish people fought for their freedom very hard in many situations. So when someone gives you a hard time about being Jewish, ask them if 6 million of their people died in WWI. It should shut them up. Or you could just say very nicely, "I'd appreciate it if you kept your comments about someone's religion to yourself, no one's judging you, so where do you get off judging me?." About being white.. skin color is not a big deal. Many times when people make fun of others they're not being serious, but if they are, just ignore them or tell them to again keep their comments to themselves. Besides we all only come from one race: the human race.
If you need to talk IM me anytime.. :)

Hope I helped!

Do you know any really good, depressing songs? or is it like, not your catagory...

Umm.. not really my category, but I'll try to help you.. I think anything written by Coheed and Cambria is depressing.. The Starting Line has some too, like "Hold on".. Green Day's whole new CD is sorta depressing, I guess, or maybe that's just me. But it's really really good so I would say go with that... I also like "Silver and Cold" by AFI and "Say it ain't so" by Weezer...One of my friends suggests "Believe" by Disturbed,"Welcome to my life" by Simple Plan,"Mr.brightside" by the Killers. If you want more info IM me, my friend is good with that kinda stuff so I can ask him for you, if you wanna know some more. enjoy!

Hope I helped (a little)

Does anybody know how to mix black? I don't know if there really is a way, but I have the following colors: red, yellow, blue, green, purple and orange. If anybody could tell me, I would appreciate it so much. I've tried blue and orange and I got a really dark brown, but I tried to add green and it only got more purplish. HELP!!

You can't mix black paint.. The woman I used to paint with told me the only way to make something that resembled black is to use a very dark purple or a very dark blue.. I dunno I could be wrong but you could try that.. I use it to paint shadows. Good luck!

Hope I helped!

Hey I have dark brown hair and I was wondering if I should put blonde highlights in them? I have done it before for like 2 years and then I stopped for some reason. I was wondering if blonde highlights are still in or should I leave my hair dark brown. Oh and I'm kinda sick of blonde so what other colors can I put in my hair. I have a pic on my column its xo_sherry_ox :)

I would go with a reddish brown color for highlights.. that would be really cute. When I had my hair highlighted they matched my hair color and then went about 4 shades lighter. Maybe they should do that with you too. But blonde is getting kind of old, especially at my school.. I would definitely go with the reddish color though for your hair! you're so pretty too! : )

Hope I helped!

I got an expander the other day and my speech sounds horrible I also have to activate it. Does anyone know how to activate it properly? Also when my speech will come back, I sould metally retarded?

aww man!! I had one of those for close to 6 months.. I'm so sorry! Well to activate it or crank it, lay down on your back and have your mom or someone stick the key into the little hole and then have them twist it. It's gonna put a lot of pressure on your teeth and it probably will be sorta painful for a little while. And don't worry your speech will come back within like a week... It's really not so bad.. after awhile you even forget it's there! well good luck with that, if you need to know anything else lemme know!

Hope I helped!

hey.. i'm getting all depressed because i have to move and transfer to a PRIVATE school and wear a really retarded uniform, but i have to ride the public kids school bus and i know right now theyr gunna make fun of me. i don't want to tell my parents how much it's bothering me because, first of all it isn't going to change anything, and it's like their "dream house" and everything. it's not just the bus part that bothers me though, i'm scared of moving because ive never moved before and i really don't want to leave my friends. please help xxox -jeanine

Oh hun, I'm really sorry you have to move. Try and look on the brightside of things though. Just think about all these new oppurtunities you're going to have! I honestly would love to go to a private school, but maybe that's just me. My friend moved to the city this year and goes to one. She has so many cool classes that she takes! Anyway, about missing your friends, it's ok to miss them, of course you will! But you hopefully can still see them from time to time and definitely still keep in touch. It'll be really hard at first, but you'll make new friends real soon. Uniforms: Don't even listen to these kids if they try to start something. Again, my friend, tells me how easy it is to get up in the morning and not worry about what to wear. And finally, talk to your parents about what you're feeling. Maybe they can ease your worries, and cheer you up a little. Hope I helped! And if you wanna talk IM me anytime. Good Luck!

ok i have these white dots on my nails. there in any random spot, anywhere on my nail. does anyone else have these or know what they are?? thanks

Yeah I get those too.. Basically they're just where you've hit or pinched your nail in something.. It's like a bruise only on your nail. Don't worry about it, they grow out and go away by themselves.

Hope I helped!

Well, my brother told me that if you put up blue christmas lights it meant that you were Jewish. So does anyone know if this is true or is my brother smoking something? Thanks!!

xo_sherry_ox
I rate 5's!

Hahaha! I've never heard that one before, so I seriously doubt it's true.. I'm Jewish just so you know. Usually if you're really Jewish you won't put up Christmas lights but I don't think blue ones symbolize that you are so don't worry about it.. lol that's great though... : )

Hope I helped!
Happy Holidays!

ok i like hate my name so much .. it's Liana.. and well people sometimes "cant pronounce it" so they just say "Hey you!" or they just pronounce it wrong. Or sometimes their like "um..you.. i forgot your name" .. and well like is there anything i can do to get people to pronounce my name right or call me something diffferent that is easy to pronounce .. (maybe like a nick name)

p.s. sometimes my friends call me Lee for short but not very often

Hey that's fine when people read my name they usually can't pronounce it right either. It's Elana but usually people say Elaina. lol That's why now a lot of my friends call me Lana. How bout for your name just start telling people it's Ana. Or Lee works too. By the way i really like your name!

Hope I helped!

i don't like myself. is that normal? like are there other people out there who don't like themselves either? i dunno, i just am having a really tough time and i'm liking myself less and less and less. please help me. i just feel so out there and wierd.

I know exactly how you feel... Towards the middle of last year I was having a really rough time accepting who I was... I really wanted to change, I got in fights with my friends a lot, the guy i liked, liked my best friend, and it felt like it was all my fault... don't even worry about this at all.. It'll pass i promise. I love myself now and realize i have some really good points about me. Just find some things you love to do, maybe meet some new people, and pretty soon you'll realize you're beautiful just the way you are! Good luck!
Hope I helped!
