Hey, FakeArms here. The name is a quote from Father Ted, a hilarious program you should all watch, about 3 Irish priests living on an island. I'll try to answer anything you ask me, but please spell-check it, and you know, put full stops and stuff in it.

I need help coming up with names for my band. We are in the process of learning instruments, however and do not have a sound as of yet and like rock music. (link)
Me and the Skirts if there is only one boy.


I just broke up with my boyfriend. I'm afraid it'll be like really weird now like in class and stuff. Do I still walk with him back from class? I don't like many people in that class so what do I do? I wanna like flirt with him you know? We just broke up cause he was to quite and shy and I couldn't take how ackward it was, it was like pointless. I wanna go back to being really flirty again. Maybe in the future we can go back out with a stronger relationship; more open and fun. How should I go back to us being flirty ? (link)
I think it's kind of unfair to act all flirty with him after you've broken up. The poor guy is gonna be really confused- one minute you are breaking up with him, the next you are acting like you're interested (maybe you are not really interested in a relationship, but if you are flirting this can give the impression you are). Talk to him. Say what you didn't like about the relationship and say that you don't want to date anyone right now, but maybe in the future...? Hopefully this will keep him interested.

Your surname is Fatato?? Mwahahahaha.


In 1 week, im going to a semi formal dance, and im bringing my best friend as my date. So I known the talking and stuff wont be awkward. Hes never had a gf and ive never had a bf, we're both in 9th grade. I go to an all girls school, he goes to an all boys school. Heres the thing-He wants to be a priest .. so hes not big on the whole dating thing, even though it seems like he likes me. The problem is, slow dancing. Hes not gonna wanna slow dance with me and i wanna dance with him, all my friends r gonna be slow dancing with there dates. Do ya think he will dance with me when he sees everyone else doing it. I DONT wanna ask him, cus then i'll feel guilty about making him do something he doesnt wanna do. HELP ME !!! (link)
Well, why not check with him before you go? If you're embarrassed you could ask him on MSN if you have it or phone him. I think aspiring priests are allowed to slow-dance... and slow-dancing is not the same as dating. Although you are right in that you shouldn't force him to do things he's not comfortable with. If he just doesn't want to slow-dance with you, even after you've tried to make him feel cool about it, then you'll have to accept that. I'm sure you'll have fun anyway.


my neck gets soo dirty that i ahve to scrub and scrub and my necks skin is all of and its red!!!!!i dont kno what it is can someone help me see what i ahve to do to get it not to do that !cause i will not put my hair in a pony tail cause everyone will see my discusting neck HOW DO I MAKE IT STOP
ill rate all 5's for any sigh of help !!!! (link)
Ahahahahahha. Hahahahhahahahha. HA! That made me day. Hilarious.

Ha.


ok i talk to myself a ton!! i dont get it. like sometimes before bed or something ill just pretend im like talking to someone. then sometimes ill act out something that happened earlier (something i said or did, ill do it in the mirror to see what i looked like.) is this normal? and why do i do this? (link)
Well as far as I can tell, this is normal. I do it all the time as well. If you are just talking to yourself about your feelings, I think it's a way of analysing your feelings and helping you to cope with them, similar to writing a diary. It's probably a lot more helpful than keeping it bottled up. At the end of the day, maybe you me and that other person who answered are the only 3 people in the world who do it who cares? If it's helping you or providing some sort of therapy, then there's nothing wrong with it.

what do you get for a guy that you have been only going out with for about week? lame, huh? i really like him though. we have liked eachother for sometime too...
thanks. ill rate, no need to ask.
=] (link)
Well, I think you should just get him something sweet. You could get him some chocolate, but just pull it out of your bag when you see him, like you picked it up on the way to school. Or make him a little card. If you get a massive one it might be a bit overboard if you've only been going out a week. Or maybe you could make him a CD with some songs he likes on it, if you know how to do that.


Okay, I have this REALLY good riddle that 80% of kindergarteners got compared to 17% of senior COLLEGE students... I know the answer, too!!
(And they all have the same answer)

What is greater than God?
More evil than the devil?
The rich need it
The poor have it
And if you eat it, you'll die!!


Answer me, or guess, and I'll post the answer on your feedback! (link)
Yeah, it's "nothing".


ok so i got a gf right anyways its like we see each other each day at school in th e biggening we hug then she kisses me and walkes away and thats liek 3 times aday but tlike thats are whole realashon ship is hug kiss walk away. so i need stuff to talk about not those stupid interveiws that u look really retarted going hey whats ur faveriot color? thats just stupid so i need better stuff to talk about. any ideas? (link)
Just say stuff like "Had a good day?". Then if she mentions a certain person or teacher you know, you could maybe say something you know about them. Or ask if she watched a tv program the last night. Or if you have some history homework, and she's good at history (for example) ask her for some help on them. If you are totally lost, just say that you like her shirt/necklace. Say how pretty she looks. Everybody likes compliments. Hope I helped..


Hey everyone. I'm in a spot of a dilemma here. You see, I have this friend who I've been chatting to online for around 2 years now and he's coming down to meet (don't worry, he's not a pedophile or anything. we've spoken on the phone and web cam and all) anyway, we were planning to see green day together and he already bought the tickets and his plane ticket. Anyway, a few days ago my good friend who lives here bought me a ticket to see Green Day. It was going to be a suprise but then he found out I was already going and had to fess up. Anyway, the next time he saw me he HANDED the ticket to me, which I now have. My good friend bought the ticket for me as a present and I don't have to pay him or anything, and I'd feel bad making him give it to someone else. But the other guy can't cancel his plane ticket or sell his ticket (since he lives in brisbane and i'm in melbourne) advice please??

thanks (link)
Hmmm, annoying situation. I think you should go with your net friend, definately, if he's getting a plane and all that. Tell your good friend about the situation right now, and apologise for not saying anything earlier, but then again it's not really your fault.
I'm sure your good friend could find someone else to go with him, and then the four of you could go as a foursome. This is good, in the unlikely situation of your online friend not being.... what you expect him to be.
Anyway, get this sorted out as soon as possible so you can start looking forward to the concert. Once you're there, you are all gonna be having such a great time, nobody will care who came with who. Trust me, Green day are an AMAZING live band. Try and get near the front (you lucky bastard!)
Tell me how you got on,

what do you think about white nail polish? is it cute, ugly, trashy, anything!! and please hurry!!! easy 5's for fast answers! (link)
White nail varnish, apart from when used as part of a french manicure, is hideous and disgusting. It looks like you have painted your nails with Tippex.


im a 15 yr old girl and i've all ready had enough of life and all the b.s that comes with it. i think people construct very tetarded realities for themselves that make life more complicated than it was ever intended to be by nature. is there any large association of people who feel the same way? i dont care if i have to trek half way across the world to find them. any taoists, buddhists, or peacable nihilists who just want to chill out and smoke the peace pipe in some sort of monastery? if you heard, lemme know. :) (link)
I totally agree. This is not so much advice as asking you to tell me when you find it. Why not set one up of your own? I'll come! (providing I can get there on an all-day London travelcard).

ok well im 14 n if i watch a scary movie i have a hard tyme going to sleep at night. i no da movies r juss movies but for some reason i cant sleep. how can i stop being afraid? (link)
This is quite a common problem. Well, the first and most obvious tip is to stop watching scary movies. That might not be practical, but if you don't enjoy them, perhaps you could persuade your friends to see a comedy or something. Well, if you don't want to stop watching them, here are some more ideas.
1. After the film, before you go to sleep, try reading a funny book or watching something funny on TV to take your mind off it.
2. Before you go to sleep, try to meditate. That doesn't involve becoming or Buddhist or buying a yoga mat, but just sit quietly by yourself and try to empty your mind of everything. This could apply to any problems or worries you have. If a thought crosses your mind, just let it pass and concentrate on not thinking of anything. This will relax you and help you sleep better.
3. If all else fails, and it's 3 o' clock in the morning and you can't sleep, put the light on (make sure the door is closed) and just do anything to take your mind off it. This could be reading a book (nothing too challenging), or doing a word puzzle, or playing a game on your cellphone.
4. If you are having consisent trouble sleeping, you could perhaps try herbal sleeping aids, like tablets or putting some lavender oil on your pillow.
Hope this helps!


Okay so my mom will not let me get new furniture for my room or do anything that is major so is there any way like that i can decorate my room but not like major redecorating like hanging pictures up and stuff? (link)
Well, here are some ideas.

1. Buy some cheap clip frames. You could put postcards in them, or pictures from magazines, or even things printed from the internet.
2. Buy some nicely-patterned fabric from a market or a cheap fabric store to use as a bedspread. You just lay it over the bed after you have cut it to size.
3. Tidy up, and move arond the furniture you already have. It can make a big difference to a room. If the room is big enough, consider making a study area, reading area or an area where you can hang out with friends.
4. If you have some spare money, things like fairy lights, cheap rag rugs, new lampshades, prints or candles can make a big difference.
Hope this helps.
