Hello, nice to meet you. :)

My name is Vanna and I am 23 years old. My hobbies include but are not limited to: Photography, writing poetry & stories, playing bass guitar, playing on the computer, making youtube videos, chatting with friends, reading, crocheting, t-shirt reconstructions, writing pen pals, making new friends, learning new things and hanging out with friends & family.

I am very open minded, will try pretty much anything at least once. I love to live life to the fullest and try to think as optimistically as I possibly can! I'm also pretty random and am always being creative & unique. One of my favorite things to do is to dance in the rain! It just makes life not seem so bad, as if you're starting anew...

I work at a newspaper doing classifieds and legals. I am a bisexual woman who is married to her soul-mate! I have no kids of my own as of yet, but I do have two wonderful step-kids that I love as if they were my own. I suffer from depression and being overweight, those are two things i am working on right now!

I've just switched over to living a vegetarian lifestyle. I want to lose weight and be healthy the right way. I have studied up on being vegetarian A LOT and own 3 different books on the subject. I try to make sure that I get all the appropriate nutrients and vitamins throughout my day. :)

I have been through a lot in my life (sexual abuse, physical abuse, emotional abuse, miscarriages, depression, aloneness, bullying, etc), just like everyone else I'm sure! I love answering questions and will offer the best advice I possibly can!

Feel free to ask me anything about anything! I will answer all questions as quick and as honest as possible! I look forward to helping you! :)

My father took everything of value and left us.
My mother is mentally ill and now has no insurance(so she's off her pills).
My sister is a major suck up to our mother(Favorite child).

Were stuck in an Extended Stay hotel and,its sucking up all the income we have.We have tried all "free" places for medicine and help.But our income is too high,but its not enough for us to live on.

I barely make $150 a week from my job and, its considered part time.I'm at my job all day from 10AM to 4PM and,they don't consider it full time.So because of the time and all the work,I can't get a 2nd job.We have no car,so we take the public city bus everywhere(which is $1.50 there and back per person).

My problem is my mother.She's always been an mental abuser and only to me.She says that "I'll never be anything","I'll never go to college,and even if I did I'd fail it","Ill never be anything in life,or have a husband let alone a boyfriend"... That was just this week.

She said that to me because I told her to "hold on one moment" while I was filling up water bottles,and she wanted me to look for a phone number for her.It only took 2 minutes and I couldn't look away or I'd have water on the floor.

My sister is a major suck up to our mother.She sides with her even when moms wrong.She won't stick up for anyone and can't even keep a job that long.she keeps calling out at work and lying to them about why.I tell her to quit it and I get screamed at by mom (mom encourages her to call out).

Right now I got no friends,because I don't have time.I got no other family to go to,and right now mother plans on leaving with my sister.They plan to go to grandma's and I can't come.she made that clear.Were all old enough to be on our own,but we weren't ever encouraged or pushed to go on our own.Our mother was one of those ones that did everything for you,even when you didn't want her to (tried getting her to stop,but that only made her mad and she'd guilt me into letting her).

So where do I go?Do I leave my job and beg my deadbeat dad to go,live with him in another state?
Or do I take my chances on the street?If I do that I lose everything I own. (link)
If you're at least 15 you can emancipate yourself. Basically you'd be on your own, but everything you'd have would be yours. If not that, there are shelters and programs to help you get on your feet. Do you have any adults you can look up to for help? I'm sorry about your family, I've been in a similar place with my mom. If you work less than 35 hours a week you're considered part time, which sucks. The only thing I can suggest is to get a full time job if you aren't in school or try to find one that pays better. I hoped I have helped you somewhat. I wish I could do more. Hope everything works out for you!


10/f (almost 11)

My parents want to know my password for aol... and they keep on asking me what it is! they keep saying if i dont tell them they`ll un install aol.. :( and i love them very much and they love me, but i dont wanna tell them my password any suggestions what i should say or do??

~SOMETHING~ (link)
Tell them that you have given them no reason to distrust you and that if it really becomes a problem, you'll delete your account. It's a parents right to know what their child is doing, I understand that as a parent, but I don't see any reason to make your children feel violated. They probably want to know so they can make sure you're being safe and protected, which is understandable.


I am intrested in pursuing fashion designing after 12th :)
I am currently in the 12th grade.. will pass out next year
I am looking for internships and I want to do some freelancing before i pass out so that i have a little experience and plus i have always been intrested in being the editor of some fashion magazine
I dont know where to start
HELP please!!!!! (link)
Advertise on facebook, in ads in the newspaper, start an Etsy account. Also remember that the best form of advertising is you. Wear some things you design, people will take notice! You'll have to do some networking and try to push your way into the fashion world. It's hard to start any endeavor, but just know that you can do it! Good luck, hope this has helped.


hi dear how are you?
my quire is did materbit is good for health or bad?
Actually i am addided towards master-bit habit daily one in a day..it s good for health or bad?
(link)
Hello! I am good, hope you are too. Masturbation is perfectly healthy. It helps relieve stress, releases oxytocin and just plain makes you feel good. Just don't do it in public, pretty sure it's still illegal :P As long as you aren't masturbating every waking hour or something, I don't see any problem with it. It is NOT bad for your health. Actually, it's pretty healthy and NORMAL! Hope this helped!


okay so sometimess late at night me and this boy talk dirty. we have before but like i dont wanna run outa things to say. he normally does most of it. does anyone like know anything to say thats good and like exciting and will get him horny?

i have this; tell if its good or not.

Guys (at least the ones I've met) like it when you go slow and give LOTS of details. Talk about how it makes you feel and don't forget...LOTS of details!


My boyfriend won't make the first move. We haven't even hugged or kissed. He is shy. What should I do? (link)
Sometimes guys just need to know that it's ok for him to make a move. If dropping hints doesn't work, you could try making the first move or even talking to him about it. He just might be scared you'll reject him. :)


im addided towards masterbit habit daily 2 to 3 times..it s good for health or bad? (link)
No. Masturbating is not bad for your health! In fact masturbating will help you out in the future when you actually have sex with a partner. Then you will be able to tell them what you like. Plus it will help you with your stamina (how long you can go before having an orgasm). It also helps keep you from getting diseases, because you can't get an STD from yourself! Just don't do it in public and you will be fine ;)


Ok so I'm female and I'm 16 and I have been hinting at my mom about wicca asking her how she feels about it and what she thinks it is well my mom is not really religious but she freaks out and tells me "Wicca is a cult. And cults don't believe in a god." How can I tell her I'm wiccan if she wont even give me a chance to explain it's not a cult that we believe in helping the earth through the magick of the elements and the living things around us and that we do believe in a god and a goddess (well many gods and goddesses) please help. (link)
Hello! I'm a Wiccan too! I can't say that I completely agree with the others below. Wicca isn't a fantasy. It's a real religion. I've wanted to be Wiccan since I was 12 and I finally decided that I wanted to embrace it.

I haven't told a whole lot of people. I'm not ashamed of it and I don't believe it's a phase i'm going through (just like I don't believe it's a phase YOU are going through). What I do agree with is keeping this to yourself for a little while.

If it's something you want and something you believe, hold onto it and embrace it. It's not a cult. I would suggest doing more research on being Wiccan without telling anyone about it. That way if someone wants to talk to you about it (or tell you that you worship satan, which we don't) you can properly defend yourself.

Not everyone is going to agree with your beliefs, but if it makes you happy (and it harm none) then do what you will! If you have any questions about Wicca don't hesitate to ask. I wish you well on your journey to discovering your path and beliefs. Blessed be!


Whenever I go out, people stare at me. I have no idea why, I mean I dress normal and that sort of thing. And then I get self conscious and have to check and make sure I don't have something on my face or whatever, but I never do, is this normal? Does everyone get stared at? Like sometimes people don't take there eyes off me. They aren't glaring but they just keep glancing at me. It just makes me really self conscious when they do this. (link)
I used to think that too. I would look over and it seemed like everyone was staring at me. For me it was all in my head, but people just stare. Most people don't notice it at all!


hi!! i need some advice on my family. i am very big on nutrition and am currently trying to lose weight after leaving a particular medication.. i live with my mom and grandparents. they, however, don't have the same idea on nutrition as i do. they think that if you don't eat a steak, you are not nutritioned at all. i am a vegan. i really have been trying to cut a lot of dairy out of my diet because i have had a lot of indigestion problems... and it just has not been good. i eat a lot of tofu and very healthy things. but, i am really going to try to take some of this weight off. the thing is, that they are very unhealthy here in this house. there is always chocolate cake and different things here and it's not exactly fun. imagine being on a diet or trying to be healthier and there is always some desserts and things lying around. i know that it's impossible not to have something, but this is all the time! i'm trying to give up diet coke because i have had a really bad addiction to caffeine.... and they buy a fresh bottle every week. They also make coffee by the loads every morning. they keep ice cream in the freezer all the time! i have really been wanting to move out for a while, not because of anything or even because of this situation, just because i'm older now. but, i decided to stay here for college my freshman year because i had just found out i was adopted and it wasn't a good time to leave. but, times are tough, you know! i don't want to leave my school or go away, because right now, i have my life here already. my grandparents are older, and i just want to be with them. i have pets, and i can't just leave them here. i have two jobs here, and all my friends are here... so it's just that right now, i've established my life here. but, i do need my own space. for now, though, while that is in the works... any tips on keeping me motivated with all the junk food lying around? or a way to explain to my cuban family that there are other meals other than steak with rice and beans?? thankss (link)
You can make sure you make lots of vegan desserts. There are tons of recipes online! I do that when I feel like I want something sweet. There is also diet caffeine free soda (it's either pepsi or coke).

I know how hard it is. My family is the same way with me being vegetarian and my husband is only eating a little healthier now. He always has sweets or chips or soda around and it drives me nuts!

Start trying out new recipes that you think they might like. Not alot of people enjoy tofu (especially if they're big meat eaters), but you could substitute meat with lentils or tvp (textured vegetable protein).

I use tvp alot to make chili, spaghetti, etc. It's really handy because it soaks up the flavor. I know it's hard, but this will help make you stronger! By resisting while you're living with them, you'll be able to conquer the world! :)

two weeks ago i went to Hot Topic and took photo shoots. it was yesterday i had gotten a letter in the mail saying i was accepted to be a model at Hot Topic, bad part is i have to move to southern California to model at the head industry. my friends are happy for me, my bf too. but i wasnt. because if i left i wouldnt be able to spend time with them anymore. and were all really close. i knew them since i was little my boyfriends too. i mean im caught between doing something i really want and being with the people i really want. what do i do?.. (link)
Firstly, congrats! Secondly, it's good that they're happy for you and want you to do it. Take some time by yourself and think about what's best for YOU! Your friends and bf will always be there, but will your modeling job?

It's a great opportunity. If you're still undecided make a list of pros and cons to see how it works out. Honestly though, this could be the start of something really great for you! If you don't do this, will you wish you had? If the answer is yes, then go for it! Life is too short to live with regrets! :)


where did ashley greene get this shirt? i love it!

http://www.newmoonmovie.org/images/A1.jpg

thanks :) (link)
I'm not sure where she got it, but it looks easy enough to make if you don't mind a little sewing! Just cut the sleeves off of a fitted shirt, cut the straps and collar the way you want them to look, then just sew a pocket made from the sleeves onto the breast area. You may want to try it on as you go to make sure that you're pinning and sewing things right!

I'm not sure if that will help you or not, but I love to make my own shirts! Good luck and let me know how it turns out if you try it! :)


what is black gooey discharge? and how long do you have it until you get your period? (link)
Usually it's just blood clots. You can have it anywhere from a few days to a week before your period. You can also have it during your period.

Mine usually starts off brownish, then becomes blackish, then red after a couple days. It's normal, don't worry about it! :)


i need a recipe for 1 cupcake, i cant keep

halving a 2 dozen recipe. and it has to be from

scratch, i know its alot to ask but i could

really use help. Thanks in advance. (link)
Try this:

One Vanilla CupCake

5 1/3 teaspoons all-purpose flour
4 teaspoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon baking powder
1/16 teaspoon salt
1 1/3 teaspoons shortening
2 teaspoons half-and-half cream (or milk)
1/4 teaspoon vanilla

Set oven to 350 degrees F. In a bowl, mix together the flour with sugar, baking powder and salt until combined. Add in the shortening cream or milk, vanilla and eggs; beat on medium speed of an electric mixer scraping the bowl constantly until just blended (the batter will be thick, if desired you may add in a few more tablespoons cream or milk). Pour into one paper-lined regular size muffin tin filling under just three-quarters full. Bake until the cupcakes test done (ie stick a toothpick or knife into cupcake, if it comes out gooey then it's not done). Immediately remove from pans. Cool completely before frosting.


Hi im 20 year old female looking for any cool sewing blogs or websites. Maybe some with patterns or something? I have looked around heaps on the web but there is nothing for my age group, all just clothes for older women.

Surely there are SOME sites out there for my age group???

Check out these websites for some cool projects. Also, do some searching on youtube! That place has tons of stuff ;)

Hello

So please advice me how i leave that habit or any medicine that can give me relif.

I have some bad news for you....you're a normal guy! There's absolutely NOTHING wrong with you. In fact, masturbating a lot can help you in the long run when you get a partner. It will help with your stamina :) It's nothing to worry about!


I have a hairy vagina and i dont the location of any of the parts in the vagina. Though i try and feel the areas and then i finger myself, i cannot seem to pleasure myself. Can you give me some techniques? (link)
If you aren't able to pleasure yourself with your fingers, you might want to invest in a vibrator. :)


hello my question is why do men like when women put their finger in there butt while having sex? (link)
Men have a sort of g-spot, if you will, inside their...butts. It makes their orgasms more intense!
