Try "One" condoms. Personal recommendation as a girl- 576 Sensations. Like the title implies, there are 576 raised sensations on the condom. Verrrrrry nice. They come individually wrapped (obviously) in these circular packaging each with a different picture of random things that users can submit. They are like the Jones Soda of condoms. And they come in a convenient, non-suspecting carrying case. Go to http://onecondoms.com to see their full selection.

Definitely heavier breathing (not Darth Vader heavy) around the ear area, as well as nibbling on the earlobe, followed by gentle noiseless kisses around the entire ear. Gets him every time.

I am going to tell you something that you will hopefully keep with you for a while. Do not wear what is in style. Wear what is right for your body type and figure. It's a good lesson. Trends come and go as they please, your body on the other hand stays the same type for a lot longer. Can an overweight girl wear skinny jeans? Sure. I just don't think it is the most attractive look to go for though. In my opinion, skinny jeans were made for girls with no legs. (Not literally, but you know "chicken legs") I personally hate the way skinny jeans look on me. Am I fat? Certainly not. I'm 5'9" with a pear shaped figure. I am an A cup and a size 9, with a flat stomach. I have wider hips with an obvious booty, and legs that makes it apparent that I dance. I have huge calves from both genetics and ballet. Skinny jeans look ridiculous on me. But I know that. Can I make them fit? Yes. But if they don't flatter my figure at all, why would I wear them? I wouldn't. I stick with boot cut jeans. They're classic and never go out of style. So just know your body and know what you have to work with. If you have really thin legs and a bit of a stomach, hell, go for the skinny jeans. If you have bigger legs and not much of a stomach, like me, go for something else. Just...be comfortable within your own skin and jeans. As long as you feel good in them, that's all that matters. Hopefully that answered your question.

Of course take it out of your eye, which I am assuming you have done by now. I work at an optometry office, and I am guessing you are new to contacts and waiting to go back for your two week check. Once you take it out of your eye, put the contact in your clean hand, and put solution on it, rubbing it very gently. DO NOT use water. It will cause the contact to expand and it will not go back into your eye! Once you do that it should be okay to go back in your eye. However, if the mascara does not get off the contact for whatever reason, or you tear your contact while cleaning it just call the optometry office that dispensed those contacts to you to get a new one. DO NOT wait until your two week check to ask for a replacement contact, because then they will not be able to check your contacts, and they will have to reschedule your appointment. (We get people that do that allllll the time. Trust me.) :-)

Virginia Commonwealth University (VCU). I hear it's very good within the arts majors. It's supposed to be one of the best. And it's a public university. I gave you a link for international students wanting to apply. You can also look around on the website to help you decide on other factors. http://www.vcu.edu/international/ Um, I live about 15 minutes from the campus, it's very nice. It's right in the the middle of Richmond. So, if you don't enjoy the city, and would like something more rural, it might not be the best choice for you. Cost wise, it's not too bad. I would give you an estimate, however it just depends on so much. (Housing (on or off campus), Meal plan, Classes bein taken, etcetera.) They have estimates on the site for you though once you type it all the stuff you specifically want. I'll put it to you like this though, it's one of the cheapest public universities in Virginia. Have any more questions? You know where to find me. :-)

Ballet flats. They are practical, comfy, and can go with a pair of jeans or a dressy skirt. And, they are not hard to find lately because they are still in style.

I believe in fate. I read my horoscope daily, unless I am ill in bed and cannot walk to a computer. No matter what. It's just something I believe in. I love it. And about 90% of the time my eventful days will match up with the stars. To me it's fate. To others I can simply twist things to match anything. I can fit any puzzle piece in the puzzle. It's all about your perception. Fortune cookies...I love Chinese food, so I do eat a decent amount of fortune cookies every month. Do they work? Eh, not typically for me. They're just fun to read, and I like their taste and shape. That's about it. Fortune tellers. Pft. I stopped believing in them once this fortune teller's house burnt down, down the road from me. How did she not know that was going to happen? I mean, if doesn't know what is going to happen in her future, why would I pay her to tell me stuff that isn't going to happen in mine?

Ahhhh, those are two of my favorite stores! I also really like H&M, which I am sure you have heard of, (they don't sell merchandise on their website, so no need to give you one.) And also, I have recently gotten into this website called http://www.karmaloop.com/ It's freakin' awesome. And right now they are having this huge sale. And they carry some BBDakota and LOOP on their site, which I really like. (They're fun brands.)

It's called a tragus. I have mine pierced. I am assuming you want yours done as well...don't worry, it doesn't hurt anywhere near as much as everyone says. :-)

Yeah, the pull out method is not the best one to use, and it doesn't sound like you are on any oral contraceptives. Sooo, you have a right to be concerned. To put things into perspective, my boyfriend was born because the pull out method is risky and sometimes fails. (Yes, his mother told him this.) The morning after pill can be taken anywhere up to 72 hours after having unprotected sex. You can find it pretty easily over the counter in pharmacies. My sister has taken it before and she complained of some common symptoms like nausea and vomitting. These are both normal. Price wise, I think she paid like $50.00 for it. So not too cheap, but a little better than the alternative cost.

Definitely shows. And it's a perfect place because if you all are both there it means you have something in common already. MUSIC! I'm not sure if that is what you meant by "clubs" though. Because when I think of "clubs" I think of a stocked bar and lots of dancing. Everyone's interpretation of the word is different though. I guess huge concerts can follow closely after. Just let things happen naturally though, in other words, don't introduce yourself to every cute guy in the place. Yeah?

I used to like my very best guy friend. And he liked me. We never ended up dating though. Best friends that you kinda sort like are the oddest. First things first though, limit flirting as much as possible! If she is already having guy trouble, she doesn't need any more confusion, you don't have to stop completely, because that would be obvious and she will think something is up with you, and that's not really what you are going for. Buy her something nice for her birthday, but don't do anything with her for actual Valentine's Day. (If that makes any sense at all.) Make sure it is obvious that you are celebrating her birthday instead. Try the friends with benefits thing for a while, yeah it might get messy, but...you have to try something, something that you both can agree to. Talk to her about her asshole boyfriend and how you hate seeing him hurt her constantly. Bottom line? Talk with her, sort things out. Be honest. That's the best advice I can give.

So, I have been doing ballet for...13 years. And splits, pft, who needs em? Apparently you. :-P Best advice I can give is keep at it. Make sure to practice every day so you can continue to get better. Try sitting down on the floor and extend both of your legs going each way. Lean over and try to touch your head to the floor. You aren't going to be able to nail it right away. It takes some practice, and really, you are training your muscles to be more flexible, that doesn't just happen overnight. So be patient. If worse comes to worse you can always fake it and do a jazz split. (Appears you are doing a split with your front leg, but in the back it is slightly bent.) Keep at it though, you'll get it soon. As for your pirouette turn, I found you a step by step guide on how to do one. Eventually you will be able to do two.

Just remember to pull up a lot, because when doing a pirouette, it comes from your core. I'm not going to go into any detail about turn out and technique unless you really need it because it's a school musical, but if you do, just ask. :-)

Hahaha, trust me, I am an A cup as well and constantly get teased about my bra size from my friends. Don't listen to them though. Push up bras will do something for you. Not as much as say a girl with a C cup, but there will still be a noticeable difference. So on a fun night that you go out, try wearing a relatively low cut shirt with a push up bra. I promise you will see the difference. I mean come on, you do have something if you fit in a cup size at all, right?

So, in my sixteen years of living, I have seriously had like 20 teeth extracted from my mouth. So I have lots of experience with laughing gas. And novocaine is just a huge pain in the ass. And you will hate it once the dental procedure is over. Personally though, I'm not a huge fan of laughing gas whatsoever. It tickles my nose. I feel way too relaxed, and you'll just feel so...floaty. Not at all sleepy, so nothing to worry about there. And no, you will not feel any pain at all when getting the teeth yanked. You might physically feel when they are coming out, or you might hear some crunching noises, but it will not hurt at all. So no need to be scared. The laughing gas will relax you.

It always helps me the most to really chunk my lines together, if that makes any sense. It especially helps for monologues. Memorize a few lines, get those down, and then add in some more, and some more, and then finally all you have to do is add smooth transitions.

Don't read your lines for too long. And I know that sounds really odd...but perhaps look over them in the morning when you first wake up. Then again during math class when your teacher is talking about graphing and analyzing quadratic equations and you don't give a shit. Then maybe again when you get home from school and you're eating a small snack. And then, right before bedtime. That way, you are constantly picking them up and jogging your memory.

Also, in a play, and I know this sounds crazy for memorizing just your own lines, but read the play many, many, many, times, NOT JUST YOUR LINES! That way, if there ever is a slip up with your lines, you will know the play so well that you could improvise for a short period.

Break a leg! :-)

I know it's a little late now, but for future reference, yes, it's fine. I was taking Amoxicilan a couple of weeks ago after my root canal, and I was terrible at taking it every eight hours. Even an hour or two won't make that much of a difference. Just be sure to spread them out enough. In other words, don't take two in five hours just because you forgot to take one earlier.

Ew, PDA in school is nasty. Quick hugs and kisses are fine though, there is nothing wrong with that. And I mean, come on, you are going to be sitting in class for 90 minutes, bored, without him. PDA in high schools has gotten so out of hand though, I walk down the halls and in the midst of like 1,400 people walking, I always see like couples dry humping against the walls. It's disgusting really. And I mean, yes, I'll admit, I am a little bitter about not being able to kiss my boyfriend in the hallway every 90 minutes because we don't go to the same school, but still, the bottom line is it's gross. Anyway though, maybe your friend is a little...jealous? Your friend should not be this unreasonable about small pecks. It's just not logical. So ask her what's up. Tell her that she makes you feel guilty, and being since you are in fact doing nothing wrong, there is a problem, and she shouldn't be doing that. I don't think there is any reason to talk to your boyfriend about it, unless you feel it is absolutely necessary or something is really making you feel uncomfortable.

Ha, if it's going to be a kick ass party and there's going to be good food and great fun? Who cares if you were invited or not. Obviously this boy that helped to get you "invited" likes you enough to to only go if you're going. And it doesn't sound like he even likes the birthday girl all that much if he will only go under certain circumstances. So if you are in good company and have nothing to on this particular Friday (or Saturday) night, I'd say go for it. If the girl is a total bitch and you are only going because your guy friend is going, then I would just go to the movies that night and see Juno for the 3rd time. Yeah.

God, that sounds like an awesome class. I'll tell you a secret. Public speaking used to be my biggest fear...and then I got over it in the 6th grade. I auditioned to be in this play called "Meet Me in St. Louis." And I did it in front of all these people (including my older sister who was auditioning as well and some of her friends). And really, I was so nervous, I had tears rolling down my face by the end of the reading. Guess what though, I got a part, and was the only 6th grader to do so. I was pretty stoked. After that I never really had that fear again. It was odd. It was like I finally realized that nothing bad is going to happen just speaking in front of people. Now, the stage is my very favorite place to be. I've been dancing on stage for about 13 years now, and being dramatic on it for about 6 years. And yet, honestly, I hate being in the spotlight too. A teacher will call on me for an answer in class and I will turn bright red and get flustered. I can do a planned presentation for class though like no other. (I suppose I just like things being planned.) The stage is different though, you're not yourself. (If that makes any sense at all.) I guess what I am trying to get at is join drama at your school to help you get over yourself, or perhaps a dance class. Sharing your opinion might me the most difficult thing for you to do at first. Don't be scared though. Stand behind what you think. You'll get better and better as each class passes. You'll get used to it. I'd say don't be worried, no one will judge you, but it's high school, everyone's already judging you. :-P

Ok I am not going to bore you with my whole life story.Or describe myself.Or tell you how "great" I am at giving advice.It's pointless.You'll pick up things about me in the advice I give.So go ahead ask away...
