about

First off, I wish my average rating thing was my GPA. Heh.

I'm a girl, 15, generally use good grammar (yay!), and a huge fan of sarcasm though I know when it's appropriate and when it isn't. Politics, psychology, philosophy, and history all fascinate me. The music I like usually falls under the genres of psychedelic and classic rock. I hate rap. And George W. Bush. I like giving advice because it gives me a warm fuzzy feeling knowing that other people are crazier than I am.

Ask away, I'll try to answer anything!

This one girl invited me to her birthday party I dont want to be mean and say no because that'll be men does anybody know any good excuses and PLEASE HURRY.

You could say:

- You're grounded
- You have something religious to attend
- You made prior plans with someone else
- You aren't feeling well
- You have a major test coming up and really need to study/ or have a huge pile of homework

Hope they work :)

alrighty, one of my good friends is...i guess what people would call a 'music elitist'? she's very unique and listens to old rock bands like the who and the beatles and stuff. she acts like she doesnt care what anyone thinks of her, but obviously she does or she would try so hard to be different, right? anyway, I on the other hand, am to her, the stereotypical prep. yeah, i get up and take an hour to get ready every morning, i shop at stores like AE and GAP, and i listen to pop music. whenever i give her a ride home or anything, she's always criticizing and making fun of the music that's playing, and if i go to the bathroom to fix my hair or makeup, she HAS to make a comment. i really do try so hard not to say anything to her about it. i tolerate her BLASTING the who and coldplay in my ears when i'm around her without saying anything, and i completely respect her political and religious opinions (WHICH ARE COMPLETELY OPPOSITE THAN MINE) and she doesnt. what do i do??? today i got mad and i blasted the music in the car and i kept making fun of her music, but now i feel bad. what do i do to tell her how i feel without coming off as a total b****???

Woah. I hate to admit it, but you have just described who I was a year ago to PERFECTION. I listen to the Who and Beatles and everything too, and always spat out random music trivia that I just sorta assumed people were as interested in as I am, even though was hardly ever true. My best friend is like you, she likes pop music and shops at those kinda stores and stuff, and she had to point it out to me when I was being an annoying bitch like that, because I just didn't see it otherwise! Although when she said it sometimes I think I was very defensive, but I really did make a mental note to stop being so irritating. Personally I dont think your friend is "trying hard" to be different, I think its just a case of different tastes. YOU NEED TO TALK TO HER ABOUT THIS, cos my gosh if my friend never told me about it I'd probably still be acting like that! And eventually my friend started to discover the certain beauty of the kind of music I listen/ed to, and I swallowed my stupid pride and admitted that her music wasn't all that bad either... I started caring more about how I look, she started to become more relaxed... and we just fit together so perfectly, so just give it time okay? And dont worry if she gets defensive if you say something about it, cos I'm sure she really does listen to what you say and try to improve, she just has too much pride to admit it!

I'm sorry this answer was so jumbled up.

Good luck, I hope everything goes well for you :)

ok i have a friend that just got a puppy and she is scared that i am going to take it away from her because the puppy like me better what should i do? i still want to be her frined but she wont hang out with her but if she is goign to not trust me then i dont think i should

First, may I ask, how old are you? Not to be rude or anything, but just that a *pet* seems like a rather trivial reason to break up a friendship.

Ask her this question "Who do you like better, your dog or me?"

And let her answer be your guide ;)

I write poems about a lot of thoughts that go on in my head. I want to share them with my friends, but I know if they don't appreciate them I will feel horrible. Once my friend found my journal filled with poems and she was just like, "Hmm. Do these all mean something to you?" and she just gave the idea of my poems were crap, which I know they aren't. I guess what I am asking is what should I say to my friends to make them understand how important these are to me?

You know, if they're your real friends they'll understand how deeply you care about your poetry and how much it means to you. Show them a poem you're particularly proud of and if they like it, cool, and if they don't like it, thats cool too, they probably just dont understand it. Other peoples' measure of your talent is only as important as you make it out to be, remember that.

But hey, being a tortured artist(/poet) is cool! =D. Not many poets get the recognition they deserve when they want it.

Anyone have any quotes/poems about death/r.i.p stuff?

"I wouldn't mind dying in a plane crash. It'd be a good way to go. I don't want to die in my sleep, or of old age, or OD... I want to feel what it's like. I want to taste it, hear it, smell it. Death is only going to happen to you once; I don't want to miss it."
-- Jim Morrison, lead singer of the Doors.
