Thank you for reading my question.

I am just confused and will like some help on gender identity. Here we go….

I have been assigned the gender of a girl, but I don't always feel that way. Before you start to think "Transgender?", let me get to a point.

For example, one day I feel feminine. I look in the mirror and I absolutely love my body. But the next day I look in the mirror and I hate it so much. (Wait, I'm not done yet.) Then the day after that, I look in the mirror and I don't really care. As in, I don't feel feminine or even masculine. That was just an example. Each feeling could last a few days at the most.

Sometimes, and this just makes it more confusing, I want to wear makeup while wearing a tomboy outfit. Or even the other way around. I want to wear a dress, but no makeup.

This might seem like normal, but I am just very confused on my gender. I think I have one, but sometimes I feel like I don't. But I know that I'm not agender. Please help me.

Thank you so very much.

Nobody feels male or female 100% of the time. It's just part of the human condition. If this starts to turn into a crisis, perhaps you may be suffering from some kind of gender dysphoria. But What you are describing is entirely normal. Go ahead and enjoy wearing makeup with your tomboy outfits!

I have 2 cats and they use the litter box but sometimes they also poop in a corner in my room. every time they do this , its the same corner . PLEASE HELP

I would try putting a litter tray in that corner of the room or close to it. If that doesn't work, you should lock them in the bathroom with a litter box for a few days. It will train them to use the it more frequently

Okay, so I have been accepted into a camp for musical theatre, and it said I need a audition book. So I asked my vocal teacher, except she is all about the opera, and isn't really up to date with musical theatre. She tried her best and her and I put something together.

It said I need 2 contemporary musical theatre pieces (One ballad, one up-tempo), a song that shows off your skills (I chose a comical song, because I do that well haha), and 2 classical pieces (one ballad, one up-tempo)

Here's what we came up with:
Contemporary Ballad-
Contemporary Up-tempo:
song that shows off your skills: Diva's Lament, Spamolot
Classic ballad- Till There Was You, The Music Man
Classic Up-Tempo- Always True To You, Kiss Me Kate

For contemp. ballad I was thinking of something from the phantom of the opera but I'm not sure. I would like to do something different then what people are you use to, you know? But there isn't a lot of musicals that I know and the camp starts at the end of June so I want songs that I am comfortable with.

Any suggestions for songs? You can suggest for ones that I already have filled too.

Thanks so much! I really appreciate your help!

PS- My vocal range is from C# to C# (3 octaves)

I would not recommend singing anything from Phantom of the Opera. It falls more into the pop/opera crossover category - It's not musical theatre but it's not opera. Either way, it's not really a good audition choice for anything.

I also wouldn't recommend singing anything from any of the huge blockbuster shows that have been in the media lately like "Wicked" or "Rent". All the judges will do is compare you to the original, and that's the last thing you want.

Contemporary Uptempo:

A Summer in Ohio (from "The Last 5 Years" by Jason Robert Brown)

Look At Me Now (from "The Wild Party" by Andrew Lippa)

Not For the Life of Me (from "Thoroughly Modern Millie" by Jeanine Tesori)

Contemporary Ballad:

Your Daddy's Son (from "Ragtime" by Stephen Flaherty)

All the Wasted Time (from "Parade" by Jason Robert Brown)

With Every Breath I Take (from "City of Angels" by Cy Coleman)

heyy well my hair is highlighted with blonde now and im a brunette. i dont have rlly dark hair but its not that light either. So. i was wondering is there a hair style like golden red highlights which a friend has that would look good on my hair?Or any suggestions that r kinda a mixture of red and blonde besides strawberry blonde. THANKS!!

Unless you want to look like a clown, don't do it. It will look horrible.

Either go with darker brown highlights or lighter brown highlights. For your hair, you want to have one overall color theme...........apparently, your color theme right now is more brown/blonde-based. You don't want to have three different colors in your hair. It looks AWFUL, trust me, my friend did that exact same thing a few months ago...

how can i get my eye makeup to look like hers.

Get some black eyeshadow at the drugstore. It's cheaper and since eyeshadow is a powder and not a pencil, it will stick and stay on all day. You should also get a black eyeliner pencil just to clean it up afterwards so it looks neater.

Find the crease in your upper eyelids, where your eyelid folds so you can open your eyes. Trace the eyeliner pencil over the crease. Make sure you accentuate the outer corners of your eyes. Fill in the part beneath the black line with black eyeshadow. You are now done with the top part.

For the bottom:

Find that skin-colored barrier between the red part and the lower eyelashes, and fill it in with black eyeshadow. Then, get the eyeliner pencil and draw another line right beneath the eyelash. Instead of making it follow the curve of your eye, make the line more straight, so the inner and outer corners of your eyes are more accentuated. This will give your eyes the blunt, shadowy look you want.

At what age do teenagers usually get past basic levels of thought and begin thinking more intellectually?What I mean is...when do they start to form their own opinions,have some idea of what they want out of life,and just generally gain a more adult outlook?

I'd say on average, around 18 or 19, by college. It's all about peer pressure, really. In middle school and high school, teenagers have just discovered that they aren't little children any more and are still pretty inexperienced. IT'S ALL ABOUT PROVING THAT YOU'RE OLDER. Guys are only interested girls who look sexually mature because they're sick of being around little girls their whole life and they want to grow up. This need to prove that they're "older" influences everything about the way we think.......we want to wear sexy clothes in order to look older, we want to date older guys because we want to be older.....with all the pressure to be older, lots of teenagers can't form their own opinions because they're worried that other kids will make fun of them. And truly, it does hurt to be tormented in school. I know all about it. It lowers your self-esteem greatly.

By college, you don't need to prove that you're older.....you're already an young adult. And people are already too busy planning their own futures to have time to make fun of people. In college, there's no "crowd" that you have to follow in order to be "cool", it's all about YOU and YOUR future. There's not as much sense of a "togetherness" in a college class as there is in a high school class.

Before I posted about how I wanted to lose weight to be healthy (15/f, 5'4", 138 lbs) by means of exercising and eating healthy. I want to lose 18 pounds by either mid-july or beginning of august. So I have a couple of questions (please answer as many as you can :x)

1) Is that an attainable and healthy goal? (exercising for an hour and losing an assumed 600 calories, by brisk walking and jogging and cutting out junk foods... and on some occassions, softball)

2) Will my body become toned, so I don't have a huge belly/fat thighs?

3) Will my jean size go down, (currently I'm a 6)?

Thanks =)

No, your body will not become toned by walking and jogging alone. If you want a toned belly and thighs, you have to do specific muscle toning exercises.

And yes, your pants size will definitely go down at least one size. It really depends upon your bone structure....if you have really big bones, you won't drop as many jeans sizes. If you have small bones, the difference will be like WHOA. I have tiny bones......a while back, I put on 5 pounds and I increased a whole pants size.

basically my subject. what is most appealing in a girl to a guy? and why do guys like really slutty girls?

Most guys under the age of 17 (notice how I said "most" and not "all") have really undeveloped dating territories, and since they're young and inexperienced and they've just discovered they wanna get laid, they go chasing after slutty girls because sluts can fulfill their ephemeral needs.....they're too impatient and too immature to handle waiting for the perfect girl to come to them. But as boys get older, they grow out of that (at least the intelligent ones do) and start looking for people they could really see as a companion. The ones that are really worth it will get bored with the whole slutty act, because slutty girls do what they're best at.......fulfilling ephemeral needs. That's pretty much it.

But don't get dirty because you want guys to like you. They'll like you, but they won't like you in the way you want them to. If you want RESPECT, do what that other columnist said. Just be yourself and hope that someone notices.

I have really thick hair. It's wavy and gets really fluffy.It's pretty short, shoulder length with layers. I need some good simple ideas to help make my hair look nice. I don straighten it sometimes, but I can't find enough time to do it. I'm sick of leaving it in a ponytail.

HELP ME PLEASEEE

The secret is a perfectly straight part not off to the side, but straight down the middle of your head. Part your hair like that, and you'll look like a million dollars.

Ok Well it's my grad this year but one day I was weairng a top to track and field and got tanned SO BAD! (Yeah I couldn't find a dolly site but thsi is the closest I could find in google, sorry. I coloured it, the red is supposed to be brown).

http://i143.photobucket.com/albums/r155/wind_miko/body.jpg

How can I remove the tanned spots?! I tried exfoliating. I'm not sure about the lemon thing though, does it really work?

I odn't want to tan the rest of my body because it's unhealthy and it'll look really bad (if it isn't bad enough already), see how bad I'll look at my grad in a dress with that?!

Sorry, but there's no way you can safely remove a tan. The only think you can do is wait for it to fade over time.

Instead, why don't you just use an artificial tanning lotion? Use the tanning lotion all over your body and the fake tan can cover up your real one until it fades. Now that the ozone layer has a hole and people are trying to get skin-healthy......trust me, they've got tanning lotions that look just like the real thing.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

EDIT: Do NOT listen to ONEXLOVEE!!!!! If you try to peel off dead skin like that and then go out in the sun, the exposed skin is COMPLETELY unprotected from UV rays, and the person will not only get badly sunburned, but will probably get skin cancer in later years....even if they put on sun block. Sun block does NOT automatically shield you from the sun, it just prolongs the damage. If your skin is completely unprotected because you tried to peel off the tan yourself, sun lotion is pretty much useless. Trust me, my mom is a dermatologist. I know what I'm talking about.

other than the song by jojo, are there any quotes or lyrics about being too late?

=/

Queen's "It's Late."

What are some songs that talk about like, not fitting in, not belonging, being alone, not having anyone, or just kind of depressing songs?
Thanks.

Is John Paul Jones still alive? and if he isnt how did he die?

John Paul Jones is still very much alive. John Bonham is the one who died.......he died of asphyxiation.

why does guys hair grow faster and longer than girls hair does?

Guys' hair doesn't grow faster. Because most guys keep their hair short, their hair growth is just more visible. The average person's hair grows about 1/2 inch a month. On a guy with short hair, 1/2 inch is more noticeable than a girl with hair down to her elbows. Plus, your hair can grow faster when it's short..........

i wanna have a really big butt! i mean huge, so what kind of foods should i eat that'll make only my butt grow but not any other parts of my body and what kind of exercises please help i am kinda desperate here! thanx

There is no way you can get a big butt without also getting big thighs and getting big in other places. When you put on weight, the fat distributes throughout your body, though it may settle more in certain places. If it happens to settle in your butt, it'll also settle in your thighs and legs. Exercises will tone the muscles, but exercises won't inflate your butt the way you want to.

I have been married for 8 years. My husband and I have grown distant over the past 2 years. I started sleeping with someone which I don't believe in, and still can't believe I did it. I fell in love with this other man and he is the father of my newborn. I still love my husband and do not want to hurt him, but I do not want to hurt the other man either. I believe in God and that he doesn't believe in divorce, and the roots of this are so deep now. I would be happier with the other man, but does that matter at this point?

If you are bearing a child (and you're not planning an abortion), this child will be your primary responsibility from now on. Everything you do, you must put the child before yourself or anyone else. That child needs a father---and if you'd be happier with the father.........then you should probably be with him and help him raise your kid.

I know how important your religion is to you. I used to be a Christian. I'm aware that a Christian God doesn't believe in divorce, but you must make this kind of sacrifice if you're going to take care of the child. From what I remember, if you're sinning for the aid of another person (your child) and you ask Him for forgiveness, He will understand.

If you feel sick to your stomach because you ate too much and you stick your finger down your throat to induce vomitting is it still considered an eating disorder? I've done this a couple of times, but never on a constant basis, just like...once every two months or so. It only stops my stomach from hurting, I'm not trying to lose weight or anything..is it still bad?

No, bulemia is where you're so concerned about being thin that you stop eating, and you start making weird eating schedules for yourself to try and lose weight......like eating nothing one day, and then eating a whole lot the next day, and then making yourself throw up or take laxatives to get rid of it. Making yourself vomit on purpose alone isn't enough to be considered an eating disorder.

But seriously, you shouldn't try and make yourself vomit. It's really not good for you. See your doctor---there are countless cures for stomachaches of every variety.

ok, a couple weeks ago i went to a party in miami.
i used to live there so i knew a few people there.
but there was this one guy that i didnt know.
and i was dancing with him all night.
before me and my friend left i made out with him.
EVERYONE knows about it.
even at his school.
im going out with him now.
and he was the first guy i ever made out with.
but, do you think im a slut?
thanks in advance :]

No, not at all. A slut is a girl who's extremely promiscuous and stoops down VERY low (and by "low", I mean doing more than just dancing) to get attentions from guys. Dancing and making out is not considered "slutty" by any normal person.

ok so there is this reallllyyy creepy guy at my school. his name is dave and he used to go out with one of my good friends. the two broke up and my friend told me he is creepy and smokes and is just weird. so lately hes been trying to get with me and he sends me messages over myspace and tells me im sexy and we should go out. and then i dont reply, so he like, finds me in the halls and asks me why i dont reply and we should go out. IM SO CREEPED OUT BY HIM. i dont know what to say. i want him to leave me alone because hes bad news but im so afraid hes like, going to be pissed and do something bad if i tell him "sick. no." haha. please help

I'm in a similar predicament as you are.

I think the best think for you to do is to find a way to get across to him indirectly that you aren't interested. without telling him bluntly, "Ew, no, you're a sicko and you disturb me." Because you said that if you said something like that, then he could do something bad, right?

Block him out of your life as much as possible. Delete his comments on your MySpace, block him on AIM. When you even SEE him at school, move away. If he does find you eventually, though, be prepared. When he asks you about why you never reply to his messages, just respond with another question...maybe something like, "Why? Does it really matter that much to you?"

If he says, "We should go out", just say jokingly, "No way", even though you really do mean it.

After a while, he should get the picture.

In Les Miserables, Gavroche has a part that starts, "Good evening dear inspector, lovely evening my dear..." and its when he's accusing javert of being a spy. I was wondering if anyone knew if it was on the soundtrack, and, if so, what song it was under.

It's from "Little People" in Act II, Disc 2. I was in the show---I should know.
