Being skinny isnt the same as being pretty!! Everybody knows that. But I know your dillema. I found that the best thing to loose weight is South Beach Diet. It's really healthy and you'll loose all excess weight, and you will actually keep it off. You start off the diet with setting a goal for yourself. Now it is not a fad diet. By that I mean you won't drop 20 pounds in one week and then gain it all back the next day. It's like a change in the way you eat rather than a "diet". The first two weeks are the hardest because there are few foods that you can eat. But you can eat all you want, but only a certain types of foods. I lost about 10 pounds the first week. After the second week you bring more types of food into your diet. It's a really healthy way to eat and the book is very easy to follow. You can pick it up at any book store and I think they even sell a cookbook. I think everyone should be on South Beach, because it's just so healthy and it has great effects on your body too. it gives you more energy and you're never hungry. If you're detirmined to lose weight I think this will work out good for you. In order to live you need to exercise though. But, contrary to popular belief, just exercise alone will not make you skinny. I think if you combine small amounts of exercise (even walking will work) and the South Beach Diet, you will lose weight and feel happy with your body. I hope that I've helped! Let me know how things work out!

Hi, I'm Caitlin and I'm completely in love with this guy name Gary. Throughout my entire life I've never been lucky with things like love and all that...mostly love. I've never had a boyfriend, I've never kissed and I've never really had any feeling for anyone before. I have no idea how to tell him I like him. I reallt want to! I feel as if i'm ready, but he's such a hard person to read and I don't know if he likes me back. We've been hanging out for about a month and I know that's it's no simple crush. I'm seirously in love with this guy. Now I know i'm not the best looking person in the world, but I know i'm not ugly either. I also know that what I look like wouldn't mean all that much to him.
So bascially my questions is; How do I tell him I like him without scaring im off? (link)
|
Aww that's great!! Im so happy for you!! I dont know why but when I read your question, I just felt so happy. lol! I know that sounds weird but oh well. Well now Caitlin, you can aproach him in a couple of different ways. You can go right up in his face and tell him exactly how you feel, but that could scare him off depending on his feelings for you. You could be secretive and write him a note explaining yourself and leave it in his locker or something. Or you could flirt with him when you're together and see if he gets the hint and asks you out himself. If he doesnt end up liking you back, it's not the end of the world. Sometimes guys just need more time to find their feelings and he might figure out that he does like you later on. I hope everything works out for you and gary. Just never lose faith that it will work out. My best friend Sara liked this guy Sean for 2 years while he was going out with this terrible girl Jillian. Well it turns out that Sean actually liked Sara for a year before he got the courage to dump Jillian and ask out Sara. He finally did and Sara and Sean have been happily going out for almost a year now. Love is weird but I hope it all works out for you! Good luck and tell me how things work out!

Quick Question about the lesbian couple, Maureen and Joanna. In R E N T, was Maureen the more "masculine" one or Joanna? (link)
| |
Maureen is definately more flirty and outgoing. Joanne is more reserved and not shy, but to herself. Have you seen the movie yet? It's really good. I would say that neither one is really more masculine, but Maureen is more pushy.

Ok so my hs is holding a musical FAME. im part of the comitie im securatary. im only in 8th grade the rest of the officers are upper class men. i was wondering i dont have a song to sing. i want a bway song but not a fame song. (link)
|
Broadway songs are so awesome. I would definately suggest things from les miserables, west side story, or evita. Rent is also really cool if you want an upbeat song. Some good ones are:
Out Tonight: Rent
Buenos Aires: Evita
Don't Cry For Me Argentina: Evita
Waiting For Life: Once On This Island
Forever Yours: Once On This Island
Part Of The Human Heart: Once On This Island
On My Own: Les Miserables
I Dreamed a Dream: Les Miserables
Somewhere: West Side Story
Without You: Rent
Far From the Home I Love: Fiddler on The Roof
Somewhere Over the Rainbow: Wizard Of Oz.
There's tons of songs out there. Go to http://www.theraven452000.addr.com/show1.html and look through the songs there. I'm sure you'll find a great one. Good Luck!

I'd like to start a tradition with the theater that I'm in. Any good suggestions and ideas? (link)
|
Wicked fun!! Crazy warmups are tons of fun before every show and they help you get more in the mood. Also totally put fun and random stuff in the dressing rooms. Things like strobe lights and posters and fun stuff that. Have dance parties in the dressing rooms. Theres all sorts of stuff you can do and the more crazy and random...the better. Just have fun with it and teach all of the new actors about it and keep it going. Have fun!

I used to be very fond of this guy a lot and sort of those feelings still remain with me to this day. The thing is that this guy I'm sure has moved on and I'm nearly there when it comes to this. I mean this guy has put me through so much and although we don't talk, it's like I know him . He hangs out with other girls now, and he's more popular now . I don't want to be with him, but it's just that it seems like all of my friends are liking him. My feelings for him are still yet causing me insecurities .I just want to know why he can't look at me, and I want to know why he's going out with all those girls . I need advice on how to get real closure and I mean real, real, closure. Don't tell me time . I've spent three years with time . Just please. Help me . Oh and if it's time, then make sure that you have a good explanation please and some tips . Thanxs to yah (link)

Is this guy an ex or an old crush? If he's an ex then he might think it would be awkward for you two to be friends again. He doesn't know that you still have feelings for him? You have to talk to him, hun. I know it might be uncomfortable to tell him about your feelings but it's what you have to do. Maybe he could even feel the same way. You will never know until you talk to him. I hope you can work everything out. He might just be an asshole like some gs are. My ex Ryan flirted with this other girl before we broke up. I confronted him after the breakup about the girl, but he said he would never like her because she is such a flirt. Less then a week later they were going out. Some guys are jerks like that. But just keep thinking, there's a perfect man out there for every girl and when you meet him I'm sure you will know. Please tell me what happens!!! I hope I helped.
Good Luck!!

South Beach Diet. It's so awesome. It helps you change the way you eat. The first two weeks are hell but I lost 10 pounds during them. Seriously go to a bookstore and buy the South Beach Diet book. You will get so much more energy, lose weight, and actually eat healthier. Although with your pant size, how tall are you? You may not want to lose anymore weight if you're over 5'3. South Beach will only help you lose the weight you should be losing. But really it works so good! See if your family will go on it with you. It really helps if other people are motivating you. If you hav any questions about it just IM me at cheesebaginmytea or email me at MCB0112@cs.com
Good Luck!

okay, im not sure if this is in the right place. but i know i dont get enough of water. because i just cant drink things of water, i get sick. like i throw up. and water with something in it takes a while to make. and you get tired of it.
why is it so important to have 10 cups of water. what am i doing to my body? why do i get sick? (link)
|
Well about the getting sick part, you should probably talk to your doctor. But there's tons of water in other drinks; you don't have to be drinking 10 cups of plain water a day. I just checked and in cranberryapple juice and gatorade, water is the first ingredient. When you mean you try to drink 10 cups a day, you know it's the measuring kind of cups, right? I sure hope you're not think of regular drinking cups. There's also things like Crystal light that you can mix with water but that takes less than a minute to make. Take this from someone who's gone to the hospital before from being dehydrated: water is really important but you don't have to drink 10 cups or straight water. Also I've found that if I try to drink water before school in the morning, I get sick too. I still think you should talk to your doctor though. Good luck. I hope I helped.

i need ideas on how to convince a girl that i really do love her...so please give me some good ideas ill rate a five (link)
|
Ooo man. Send her a rose and if she asks why just say because she means so much to you. When you look at her always smile and look deep into her eyes like shes the most wonderful thing you've ever seen. If you truely do love her, this won't be hard for you. And if none of that works, she doesn't deserve a guy that would be willing to do that much for a girl anyway. Good luck!

Ok im aditioning for a school play and everytime a start to say my lines infront of my teacher i get so nervouse, shaky, and i just freeze and/or forget my lines. Can someone please tell me some ways how to calm myself and someways to remember my lines better? thankyou all very much, i rate good! (link)
| |
I hope I can help...i used to be a nervous type. Well if your stomache gets messed up then tighten your thigh muscles...and practice everything in your head. It should help relive stress and make you feel more confident. With learning your lines...just keep practicing them over and over. If you know them completely by heart, then you wont be as nervous. Auditions are intimidating but they have to be. If they werent, people would think the acting is easy and two words: DEFINATELY NOT!! Being nervous for a show actually makes you perfrom better but freezing and shaking onstage is no good. Whenever i got nervous i would look at the exit signs right next to the doors across the stage. It would help me feel better and have something to concentrate on so i wouldnt be looking into the crowd. Don't worry hun. It looks like this is one of your first auditions and its perfectly normal to be nervous. With more experience, you'll gain more confidence. I hope you get the part you want and break a leg out there!

Hi,
I am doing a play with a kiss scene. And the person that I happen to be kissing is my guy friend. So its really akward. I really try to make it non-akward after but somehow it just is. And I was going to do the "theatre illusion" of kissing someone but the drama teach says it looks to obvious (putting your thumbs over the person's mouth and kissing your thumbs). Is there any other way to make it illusion? so its not all akward. We already kissed for once and for real. Boy, I was mad. All my friends are like aw, you should go out with him. I mean for heaven's sake! It was a staged kiss!
Any adice?
Por Favor :)

Yeah I know how it is..I had to do a stage kiss before and it is akward but if he's your friend then you can totally joke around about it with him. You should first talk to him about it. It will probably feel wicked weird at the time but you will feel so much better after. If he thinks you guys shouldnt really kiss then what you do is tilt your head so you kiss his cheek. If it's supposed to be a big kiss then just do the same thing but with more enthusiasm. If you want to be an actor in the future then you're gonna have to suck it up at some point and just kiss the kid. It's not as bad kissing your friend...it would be worse if you were complete strangers. I hope it all works out for you and i hope your play does great.
