I'd like to learn how to play the guitar,but I'm determined to be self taught.I don't want any lessons or anything.How do you do it thought?What are some practicing methods and what not to get me started? (link)
I taught myself and it's a bit more difficult than it sounds.

I bought a starter kit, I think it's Fender, if I'm not mistaken. I bought it for about $100. It was an acoustic and it came with a book of basic chords and a few easy songs to help you learn.

I would have to say that if you do go through with this, be patient, give it some time. It won't happen overnight. You should probably practice about everyday if possible when first starting out because your fingers need to callus over so that it won;t hurt to play. Thats about all you need to know really.

If there's anything else, message me or something and I'll get back to you.

Hope I helped.


I have NO idea why, but my tailbone (or the hard flat bone thing right above my butt) has been hurting reallly bad lately. It especially hurts when i sit down and then REALLY bad when I stand up. I haven't don't anything to injure it lately like any type of exercises and I haven't fallen on it. I don't know what to do because it seems like sitting makes it hurt worse but I have to sit all the time at school. The whole area and one specific spot in the middle just feels VERY sore! What should i do?? (link)
First of all, I'm very sorry to hear this.

But as for advice, my friend once broke his tailbone skateboarding and he said it hurt very bad when he moved and it was especially bad when he sat, so you might have broken it. As for how, maybe while you were sleeping you moved the wrong way or something, I have no clue.

The only thing i can really say is that if the pain is that bad, to go to the doctors. But in the meantime, try to just lay down on your stomach when you can, my friend said that took a little of the pain away.


Hope I helped a bit.


so, there is this person, she's actually a teacher at my school. A lot of people think she's a lesbian(she's only 22 also) but me and my friends think that there is something going on between her and another teacher at my school (Man). so i'm wondering, how do you tell if a person is a lesbian? and what are some signs that people are having an affair. it's also a boarding school and they both live there.....
i just want people's opinions, my school is kind of boring and not much happens so, my friends and I are trying to investigate :)
this is why people think she's a lesbian:
she is really athletic, coaches field hocket and softball
dresses ungirly- like button up shirts, sweaters, slacks and jeans- nothing girly
always wears her hair in a ponytail-never down
really competitive and kind of a tough attitude

This is why we think she is having an affair with my science teacher
they sit together a lot, interact a lot
walk places together
his wife is out of town for a month, and we have only noticed them hanging out since she has been gone
people have said they talked about "watching movies" at each others apartments or something like that
once, she was wearing eyeliner and my friend was like "why are you wearing eyeliner?" like teasing her, because she doesn't usually wear makeup, and then my science teacher came in and my friend was like "wear are you going" and he said "nowhere you would want to go" (which seems very suspicious) and then the woman said "we're just going to the gym to play basketball"
They just seem sort of, i dunno, together

anyways i know this is long, but it's kinda funny, and i'm just wonderign what other people would think about this??
hmmmm.....very suspicious

Ok, I also would have to agree that you shouldn't go snooping into someone else's business, especially a teacher's. But I'm also a victim of the boredom it takes to speculate things like this so i know what you mean.

As for the female teacher, the way she dresses could tell you if she is a lesbian, but not always. Some people don't dress to impress, they dress for comfort. There are a lot of straight girls who would love to dress this way if they had the chance to not worry about guys, other people judging them, etc. For some people though, they can just tell things like this, some people refer to it as having "gay-dar". But yea, there is no certain way to tell, you'd just have to know for yourself.

And for the affair, again, it's just one of those things you know. You'd normally have to feel a connection or chemistry between them. And the watching movies thing, just a heads up, you can't always believe what you hear. They could also just be friends, it may sound quite stupid to you, but it is a possibility. They have personal lives like everyone else, they have friends, and even enemies.
