i remember the music video being like about this guy who was in a park and he had antlers on his head. then a girl got her kite caught in his antlers, and they go out. but the father's really against it, and tries to shoot him, but before he can do that, he gets run over by a truck, and the boy finds out that the father has like deer legs, and they girl and guy go out anyway, and the father is okay with it.
i know it sounds random, but i really liked the song at the time and i cant remmeber anything about it. i think it was in the rock punk pop genre. but i could be wrong. PLEASE HELP!!! thanks! (link)
Sugar were going down- fallout boy


I'm constantly renting movies and would just like some ideas on really good movies. I like romances (like The Notebook, Titanic), and historical movies (The Other Boelyn Girl) and comedies (My Best Friend's Girl).

Any ideas?
What's your favorite?

Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind.


I get some really intense mood swings sometimes and they've become more frequent lately. One minute I'll be really happy and the next I'll just be seriously annoyed or depressed. I've noticed that most of it happens when I'm at home and I don't really understand it. I mean sure I get into fights with my parents every now and then but lately I've been fighting with my mom about the smallest things and everyday! I could have had the best day at school but it's usually ruined within an hour of my coming home. I don't understand why I've been getting so annoyed with my parents lately. I mean maybe it's just because I'm a teenager and it's that phase the I'm going through but I'm not sure.

And also, there are times when I'm perfectly fine and I start thinking about some stuff and I just get really depressed. I just get a sinking feeling inside me where I just have to cry and I don't know where it comes from! I have a serious problem with pain, I'm pretty much a baby, and I hate seeing blood and I never understood why some people cut themselves but this one time a few weeks ago I just couldn't help it. I just had the urge to do it and I did. Like I said I'm kind of a baby so I didn't cut very deeply and it was only a couple of times but it kinda makes me worried. I don't know whats wrong with me and it's starting to scare me! I don't really know who to talk to about it because I just know my parents won't understand and my friends are great but I really don't think this is just something they'll really be able to help me on. Any advice would be greatly appreciated! (link)
Well I have a really good friend who reminds me alot of what you just described. If by chance you are anything like her, than this is what I think: The whole parents thing, maybe you just have a hard time taking in their opinions or reasons because you've convinced yourself so much that yours are the only right ones. And that it annoys you to have to stop and listen to them talk when it isnt "important". As for the thinking about stuff and then getting depressed, I think that happens to most people. You just need to find a more constructive way of pulling yourself out of it, like music or art, or something your passionate about. Then about not being able to talk to friends, maybe you have one good friend who could understand where you are coming from, if not completely than maybe more than some of the others. Its always good to talk to friends. Again I dont know you so this is just my attempt at figuring it out. Also, I really doubt the bi polar thing, I think its just life. So idk if that helped you at all, but I hope it gives you something to go off of. :)


Are you happy? (link)
No.


so im 18/f

i have friends, but its that i commute to college, and i only talk to like two of my friends from high school.

i've been talking to this girl, emily. she use to go out with my cousin. she is in 9th grade though, in high schoool. i'm a freshman collge. the thing is, she gets me. she is the only one who understands whats going on in my life, because she is going through something similar too. i just feel weird hanging out with her though. i dont want people to be like wow she is hanging out with a freshman from high school, you know? but i love the girl, she is like becoming one of my close friends! like i said, i can trust her and i know she wont judge me. thats hard to find. but in my mind, i always feel like people think i dont have friends and i'm a loser for hanging out with a freshman. and i mean i really want to hang out with her, she is a nice girl and so what am i to say? oh i cant hang out with you because your like four years younger than me? NO! i want to hang out with her, but i feel stupid at the same time.

any thoughts, suggestions, comments, ANYTHING!? (link)
My best friend is 3 years younger than me. Im a sophmore in college and shes a junior in high school. For about the first two years of us being friends, i felt the same way. I finally realized that it doesnt matter. If other ppl think its weird, then sucks for them. A friendship like that is hard to find, and its not something you should give up just because of what other people will think. If i didnt continue to be friends with my friend, 16 and im 19, then id be miserable. Age really is just a number.


ok so i am tring to quit SI (cutting self injuring) what are some of the withdrawl symptoms. I not talking about the itching or anything. I mean ihave been clean for 6 weeks and i am having dreams of cutting and thoughts pains and everything i just dont understand. why do i want to sooooo bad and these headaches and being dizy. I have also have had painic attacks aleast once and night. idk is this normal? (link)
Its not really "normal", but for your situation its not uncommon. Theres really no way to make that stop unless you change your thinking. You need to learn how to not want to cut anymore. this may take medication, therapy, its not just going to happen over time. As for the rubber band method... not helpful. ive used it, and i ended up doing it so many times that the rubberband snapped in half and my arm was just big and puffy.


is anyone here schizophrenic? it was one of my vocab words and the definition is "a state characterized by the coexistence of contradictory or incompatible elements." what do they mean by different elements? like you're living in two different worlds? i once saw a movie associated with someone who is schizophrenic, but what is life like? (link)
Ok so my cousin and two of my aunts are schitzophrenic and just to clear something extremely STUPID up that somebody said, they can use computers. there not retarded


hey i am taking a survey on which president that people altogether wanted.

Obama all the way!


Well, I have my own laptop, but something f*cked up and I got a virus.
I can't use the speakers on my laptop(and I don't have any other ones that I could connect to my laptop) so I can't listen to my music properly.
My internet doesn't work either, so can't use that.
I've been playing sims for 2hrs a day (not straight, I play it, put pause and walk off, and then I come back and continue playing it later)<
But there's like nothing to do, and I'm on my holidays so..
All of my close friends are away...and I can't really go out, I have transport problems.
Don't tell me to clean my room cause I already have, it's immaculate -.-
:P

So I'm wondering wth could I do over the next week..?
Oh, and I have no artistic skills what so ever, so please don't suggest that :P

Sorry this is long, but I'm starting to go out of my mind.

Thanks!!

Hm, theres lots of things you could do. You could read, you could go outside and take a walk or something, you can have like a movie marathon day, you can color(i know that might sound stupid but its really fun when your alone and bored lol and requires no artistic skill), you can work out, maybe visit some family if thats an option. Well those are some things i do when im bored, so i hope some of them sound good to you :)


I have always wanted to play guitar. Acoustics just gives me a sense of peace and serenity. I have a guitar, and also a book that shows how to learn guitar, but the book has never really helped. I was just wondering, besides getting lessons, if there was a program or something that i could do to learn the cords and learn guitar in general. I'm completely willing to put my all into this. I also have the time to put into this. Thanks in advance for the advice.

peace...

If you have comcast on demand there are guitar lessons in there somewhere, most likely under music. my sister does them when shes bored, it shows you how to hold your fingers and stuff and tells you the notes, and then it shows you how to play certian songs.


so yesterday on trl, the jonas brothers were number 10, but they had the most video views and highest voting.

then mtv put the comments for the video at -30,000 which isnt even possible

so all of the jonas brothers fans went to MTV at 9pm and commented like crazy and got the comments up to 7,500 but now they are going down again!


how is this possible? (link)
bc the jonas brothers and hanah montana are taking over the world. run for the hills!


this is totally random but I just wanted to know some good emotional songs or party songs. I don't really like rap that much but I'm fine with Chris Brown and T-Pain. Can you just list songs that you like listening to? I'm just looking for some good songs in general. Rock is also appreciated. (link)
monkey wrench - foo fighters
say it aint so- weezer
the air near my fingers- the white stripes

I was playing Guitar Hero (Legends of Rock) the other day, and I really liked the song that was playing in the background on the main menu screen. It wasn't 'paint it black', but the other one. Does anybody know the name of the song?
Thanks! (link)
well they play a bunch of different songs, but my favorite one that they play in the backround is called, monsters by matchbook romance


Who are some old school rap artist? (link)

This is more of a rant than a question but whatever, I need your opinions anyway.

Do any of you ever get tired of being the "always-there friend"? I don't mean clingy. Like, you're always there for your friends-- whenever they have a problem, need someone to talk to, to hang out with, whatever, you're always there for them. And I'm fine with that. But whenever I make a really good friend, they find a better one, more fun, more something, whatever, and hang out with them, until the new best friend either makes a new best friend themself or can't make plans on a weekend, THEN I'm called. Usually they get tired of the new friend in a few months, maybe a little longer, and come back to me, realizing eventually that I'm a better friend. But its still hard, you know? Like, am I second-rate or something?

I guess its kind of a compliment because I'm like family to them, I'll always be there, and they can say anything or do anything (well, mostly, lol, I'm thinking brother-sister fights) and I'll still love them. But still... I'm a human too, I'm not just here for your convenience.

This happens / happened with ALL my close friends. All of them.

Anyone else want to rant with me about how this happens to them... or if anyone wants to give me some advice on how to regain my status as first-rate human I'd appreciate it. :] (link)
story of my life. yes its horrible i dont get it at all. how do we of all people get put second, what makes us the ones? i dont know but it drives me insane and ive lost friends over it, it just happens over and over. good luck with your friends, sometimes if they cant realize they're doing it then its time to move on.


How do you get a friend to open up to you?

Ive told her im always here for her if she needs someone to talk to and stuff but i just cant get her to break down to me.

Any suggestions? (link)
coming from a person who cant open up, make her. i always want to but i need that extra push to actually do it. it might not be the right thing for your friend but i know it is for me. hope that helps


would a guy be talking to a girl if he wasnt interested, and it was more than "just friendly"? like he has to have SOME sort of attraction to her right?, or can she be completely ugly but he'll still talk to her just go get some? but he is the one who keeps making efforts to talk to her? thanks, hah sorry if its confusing! (link)
I think that if a guy just wanted to "get some" he would go to someone he knew he could just get some from. If hes really making an effort to talk to you and it was more than just friendly, chances are he definatly doesnt think your ugly, and he probably likes you :) If a guy keeps making efforts to talk to you, he has to have some kind of attraction to you. hope that helps


the one year anniversary of my cousin's death is coming up in a few days .. we were best friends. are there any songs or quotes that talk about it being the 1 year anniversary of a death? or even just really sad quotes about missing someone who has died .. thanks a bunch (link)
I think the song helena by my chemical romance would be a good one. :) sorry about your cousin, hope this helps!


okay, for about a month or two now, i've lost alot of weight for some reason. i don't know why, because i've been eating way more than normal. also, i've been more tired than i am usually & i get tired easier when i'm exercising or something like that. i've had head aches alot of & on the past month too. & for about two weeks, i've been getting these random bruises on my arms & legs, but mainly just my arms. i haven't even done anything to cause them, so i don't have a clue what the heck they're from. any idea what this could be? (link)
it could possibly be diabetes, bc you said you are eating a lot more and still losing weight. i dont really know that much about diabetes, but it sounds possible? good luck


what are some REAL punk bands? because i never see them anymore =(. (link)
