Now, I can already tell what your first question is.
"Why the hell should I ask *her* anything?"
The answer: because I'm psychic. How do you think I figured out what you were thinking?
I'm joking, hon.
The REAL answer: because for a girl of my age, I've witnessed, and been involved in, some quite strange situations, and emerged relatively unscathed. That, and I'm used to giving advice; we people with problems seem to attract each other. ;) Hopefully I'll be able to apply previous knowledge to your situation. If not, well, my judgment's usually good when applied to someone else's issues. (Mine are another story, sadly enough.)
That, and my grasp on the English language is fairly good, barring my habit of injecting numerous cute-isms and emoticons into my typing.
Convinced yet?
Probably not, but take a chance nevertheless...

I'm just starting out in the guitar world, and I've been doing some research. I've decided that I want a Fender, because they've gotten good reviews and are in my price range (or the ones I've seen, anyway.)My questions consist of:
1. What's a dreadnaught? Is it bigger than a Grand Concert?
2. Are you supposed to use a pick with acoustics?
3. What is the best kind of case?
4. What's a good price (in general) for a Fender?
I think I want the Grand Concert GC-12 Acoustic, but I also might want the DG 245 Dreadnaught Acoustic.

Well, I'm not exactly an expert on guitars... I've only been playing for about 3 months, and just picked out my first guitar (it's a Fender, too :D), but I think I can help you with most of your questions.
1. I'm honestly not certain about this one... sorry.
2. You don't *have* to use a pick with acoustics (other methods include strumming, plucking, rest and free strokes, and probably any number of things as of yet unfamiliar to me), but you certainly can.
3. I would recommend a good-quality hard case, just to ensure that your guitar is as well-protected as possible.
4. Ooh, this one varies quite a bit. You can generally find a good Fender for under $500. If your budget is extremely tight, you could always go the "used" route as well... just make sure to examine the instrument thoroughly before buying.
Hope this helps. I'd tell you to rock on, but that's so impossibly clichéd, it's not even funny. ^^;

How can i stop myself from being self-consious? (link)
|
Short answer: You probably can't.
Slightly longer answer: Realize that your feelings of self-consciousness are usually unbased, and that they don't define you. Everyone makes mistakes; it's a fact of life. You can worry about it all you want, but you can't change it, and it's better to just continue on your merry way without fretting over what someone might say. Once you can determine that being self-conscious doesn't mean you have to change your course in life one bit, you'll have an easier time of things.
Works for me... usually. ;)

I wanna be what i feel like being! But if people start rejecting me, my life will be horrible I wanna be a punk is that a bad choice? I already aske dmy mom she seems fine with it. .and well I want that change! but should I not do it, 4 my friends? (link)
|
First of all, be what you want to be. That much is obvious. If your friends would reject you for making a change, they're not worth a moment of your time.
HOWEVER, I must add a serious caveat: don't feel that you *need* to be "punk" or anything else that can be labeled so neatly. Make changes if you want to, but a dramatic overhaul to fit into a specific box that society has made will only leave you unhappy in the end, regardless of how the people around you react.
Be yourself. And good luck with it.

how do you ask a guy out with out ruining a friendship (link)
|
If you two truly have a strong friendship, and he doesn't feel the same way as you do when you ask him out, things may be awkward for a while, but you two should eventually be able to work things out and continue as usual.
If you don't think you can continue with the friendship if he "rejects" you, or if telling him how you feel would truly cause him to back out of the friendship (in which case, he's a coward), you might seriously want to reconsider all of your feelings for him, friendly and otherwise.
End of story.
Good luck. ^^

Well, what does it mean? (link)
|
It means you've slapped yet another pointless label on yourself or someone else. Congratulations.
Seriously, it means nothing unless you want it to. If you really want a specific answer, it originated in the '80s UK club scene, but enough mutations have rendered the whole thing moot.
I can't stress this enough: just be yourself, and form your opinions of other people as themselves.
Ever noticed how most of the stereotypical "labels" (prep, punk, goth, geek, jock, and so on ad nauseum) are four-letter words?
...Yeah.

My 10 year old daughter is invited to a birthday party sleepover this weekend. Is ten year old too young for sleepovers or is it okay for this age to go on sleepovers? (link)
|
Most ten-year-olds are plenty old enough to sleep over at a friend's house, provided there are no circumstances which could cause your daughter problems at the sleepover (homesickness, medical problems, etc.).
(Now, a co-ed sleepover I'd generally have second, and third, and fourth thoughts about. O.o But I assume that's not what you were asking...)

I am a teen. I have problems. I have no friends. It seems I may have some sort of crazy powers of destruction with others. Advice?
- This dude named Amuro (link)
|
Indeed, incredible powers of destruction tend to manifest themselves around adolescence. It may be due to the emotional turbulence we teenagers face, or it could be simple hormone fluctuations. It's also possible that these abilities were destined to be granted to you when you reached a certain level of maturity. However, you need to realize that this won't necessarily keep you from forming lasting friendships. If *you* can cause large objects to explode with just a thought, it's likely that other teenagers who are also foreordained to save the world can as well. Until you find them, just remember that anyone who wouldn't befriend you because of some superheroic issues isn't worth being around anyway. Hell, I'll be your bestest friend if you want me to. ^^ *hugs you*
Hope this helps you.

I fucking suck at getting ladies. Advice pls. (link)
|
Thank you for boosting my ego by asking something, tou-san. :P
My advice: Get some sleep. Guys are generally more attractive to the opposite gender when fully rested. Yes, this applies to you specifically. *grins* Also, don't be so damn insecure. That's about it, really...
