Hello, all! I haven't had much life experience compared to some people, but I can give you my view of things, and I'll do my best to give an honest opinion. Ask me anything and I'll answer as best I can!
Myself, I'm a Nursing Assistant finishing up some classes before I start working. My interests include cooking, martial arts, music, video games, gardening, acting, reading, and paintball. My girlfriend is slowly pulling me into politics, but she's drawing me in none the less. =P I love her so much!

i am very perplexed. i attended a christian school since i was kindergarten and i already accepted Christ as my Lord and Saviour. but i'm moving to a new school this year, a catholic one. but since i'm not baptized christian,and i was baptized catholic when i was a baby, so i'm technically a catholic.but since i'm not baptized christian, people will never think i'm christian.so people will really think i'm catholic because i was baptized and i have certificate as proof. i need help because i dunno should just go on prtending i'm a catholicwhen i'm really not. i really dunno what to do. sorry if its a bit confusing but pls. help.

A baptism in the Catholic Church is the same as a baptism in a Christian church. "Christian" is a broad term for a group of religions that includes Catholics, actually. Baptisms by religions such as Baptist, Lutheran, Protestant, Evangelical, Catholic and many others are regarded as the same as far as I know. This is because the form of the sacrament is the same ("I baptize you with water in the name of the Father, of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit"). An exception to this is the Mormon baptism, because it is argued that they do not understand and accept the true Christian deffenition of the Blessed Trinity.
I hope I got all that right... Good luck at your new school!

ok i was wondering if magic really works and if it does what is a good website to get some good spells? (link)

You can't simply go to a site and "get a spell." Magic, or Magick (however you preffer to spell it) does exist, but not in the form that you are probably thinking. Harry Potter, Sabrina the Teenage Witch, Charmed, and the rest are all fiction, but with some reality wound into it.
A person who believes that they can manipulate the "forces of magic" are being taken for quite a ride, as they are actually the ones being manipulated. A common myth is that of "white magic." Whether used with good or bad intent, all "magic" is evil by origin and cannot be used for good in ANY way. This is my belief, but in using magic, a person brings suffering upon others and upon himself. In the end, the person casting the spell is a lot worse off than the target.
I would HIGHLY recommend not to dabble in this, as you're dealing with a power far beyond anything most people can understand. I don't understand it. But I've studied the affects and causes of magic, though only from the viewpoints of a Catholic exorcist and have not looked much deeper than that. Why? Because it scared me shitless.
If you would like some books that will actually give you an explanation of real magic, then I would recommend books by Fr. Gabriele Amorth, who was once the head exorcist of Rome.
Please be careful, I don't know what your reasons are for looking into this, but this isn't just a hobbie or something like building model airplanes. This is something that can and WILL affect you for the rest of your life. Once you start, running from it will be near impossible.
