about
Just call me Calli.I like Jamie Bell and Cillian Murphy. I like Friday Night Lights and Desperate Housewives and Dead Like Me. I like writing, roleplaying in writing communities. I like reading: Harry Potter, Tom Robbins, Kurt Vonnegut, House of Leaves. I love House of Leaves. I like Adam Pascal in Rent. I like messing around in photoshop. I'm not too fantastic, but I like it. I like chemistry. I love Audrey Hepburn.
I dislike poetry. I dislike physics.
I am indifferent about Twilight.
I know nothing about romantic relationships. But I have friends. I have family. And I like them.
If that helps at all, there it is. If not, there it is.
advice
Personally, would you prefer to donate you own money to
a)your community and/or country
b)other countries who live in a higher poverty(kenya, chad, Haiti)
Would your donation depend on the cause.(eg. money for food.Money for shelter.Money for sanatation. money to help orphans)
i would just like to know because i am interested in holding a fundraiser at my school but am still unsure of where to give the money. Where would you care more to donate to?
(Am especially weary of Haiti because so many have donated so much there already)
Thank you for your responses:)
Definitely charity at home. Also because you can see the results later on, whereas with other countries, people won't really know what happens to their money. They won't see it again. But if you do something for your school or town, they'll be able to see where there money is going. Which may give you a bigger turnout, and more money.
Also yeah, you have to take care of your own problems before you take care of other peoples'. And you have to take care of your own community before you take care of other countries'.
how do you take videos off youtube and edit them without being the original owner? cause its hard to make like an animation and stuff so if you could help itd be very nice
If keepvid doesn't work, there's also OnlineVideoConverter:

Same thing, just copy the link and put it up, and you can download it to your computer.
I have photoshop cs4, and I was wondering how to do this.. if there's a tutorial, or what the effect's called?
here are some pictures..

thankyouu
I believe its called texturing? I use it all the time.
What I do for that, is I take images like this:
http://i46.tinypic.com/29ljo0m.png
And put it on lighten over an image. You could also turn it to soft light, overlay, color dodge... you just have to experiment with different looks.
I used lighten for this one:
http://i47.tinypic.com/2qkkoyv.png
And erased away the bits on the guy's face.
Basically, again, it's mostly just experimenting with the options on the side.
Another good texture is:

I'm sorry, I'm not too good at explaining things exactly XD But, uh:
http://forums.redcarpetrebellion.net/index.php?s=74c2a62e60a136a25dfa5845660e7d48&
That site ^ has helpful tutorials on making good effects and blends and anything photoshop related. It also has good stock and textures.
Hope that helps :)

HI. =) I am saving up to go on a shopping spree to buy a bunch of new things for the summer. From places like Hollister and Abrercrombie and stuff.
I was just wondering if you had any ideas at all on how a 13 year old girl could save up like $500 by summer Like the end of May.. I defantly cannot get a job at such a young age.
I have about $30 right now. lol. I get $10 a week.
But what else can I do? Where can I find change?Even pennies? Any websites that might help?
Thanks. =)
You can sell your old clothes, books, and such to someone who'll want to buy from you. Or have a garage sale! You can also do odd jobs around your house, your relatives' houses for money.
Have a summer clean out or something.

hey all.... m a 19 year old guy with a physic kind of fine with a few extra pounds... but the thing which annoys me the most is exess fat on the chest region of mine which looks kind of awkward some times when i remove clothes..
actually under that thick layer of flesh i got a quite well developd chest muscles as i have been doin gym for a long time... but they get shades unde rhte fats... i am really annoyd with it.. i do gym quite often and do swimming for bout a kilometer a day...
any nice suggestions to tackle this prob??? plz help me
Running tones legs down. So does swimming and tennis and badmitton. The gym is more likely to build up your muscles unless there's a certain machine against that.
Try some running sports and keep swimming.

Yesterday I was about to have sex with my boyfriend...only he couldn't get it in...he said I was too tight... He try to put his finger in...but it hurt really bad...so he just stopped. This morning when i went to go pee and I wiped there were a little bit of blood on the paper but just like drops...I guess I still consider my self a virgin...since he really didn't go in and didn't put his finger all the way in...just a little...but if i go to the doctor or something am a or am I not.
Doctors don't ask if you're a virgin or not. That's far to complicated a question. They normally ask something like have you ever been involved in sexual acts, or anything of the sort. Then you'll answer yes, because even if he didn't enter you, he still touched you, and you're still up for an STD had he had one.
So if you do go to the doctor, and he asks you sex related questions, this experience is one you'll have to throw in.

hey all helpfull ppl out there.... i just wanna know a couple of things bout swimming as i have learnt swimming last month and learn all the basic 4 strokes...
1. which stroke in swimming help the most in reducing body fat, specially in the middle region and chest.
2. does swimming also helps in shapping ur abs? if yes then which stroke is best to tone up the abs and get a few packs..?
3. which swiiming stroke reduces fat such as side tyres and specially on the chest part...
plz help me if anybody knows d rite stuff...
I'm pretty certain freestyle is the one that works best, but basically any stroke in general will reduce body fat. Swimming is very good exercise, and uses all the muscles so every stroke is pretty much helpful. But as I said, I think free style (and if you can learn the butterfly) are best for what you want. I wouldn't limit myself to just one move though!

What are some good conversations to have with guys (on the phone, in person, or on the computer)? I am always at a loss for words and conversations with them.
http://www.wikihow.com/Converse-with-a-Guy-Online
http://www.wikihow.com/Start-a-Conversation-With-a-Stranger
http://www.wikihow.com/Fish-out-Topics-for-Conversation
Just use random questions and tie them into your conversation. It can go from hi to hey, your interests and what do they like about that.
Mine is writing. In a "What's up" question, I always say I'm writing (I normally am, anyway) and if they say something one-wordy back, just use that to switch to maybe... using writing... "do you write?" or "yeah its about this... wanna help?"
Or just go with food. As one of the sites I gave you says, 99.9% of people LOVE food. So hop on that.
Also, make sure even if he gives one word answers, you DON'T.

I'm 24 years old, going on 25 and I've never had a boyfriend, I've been on dates, if you want to call taking me to McDonald's as a date...anyway, everytime I see my friends or even relatives smooching or cuddling with their significant other it puts me down, it's like a slap in the face. I've never even experienced my first kiss yet. Everyone knows how I feel and everytime they say again and again "Don't worry, you're turn will come", I am so fed up with hearing that! Any advice you can give me?
Okay, well the best thing I can say is to put yourself out there. Visit places where you'll meet guys with similar interests to you. And if you spot one you may like (cute, outgoing, reserved) then walk up to him and say hi. Start a conversation, "What are you doing here" and the like. Talk about that interest. And if you end up liking him, then ask if he wants to hang out (you may have to try a few times before meeting a guy you really click with).
When you're ready you can use these instructions for asking him out... if he doesn't do it first.

I should really do my Cal. hw that my teacher gave over the summer...Please convince me...Just sooo lazy.
I'm not sure if this is a good question for this site but... okay?
If you don't do it, you'll be off to a bad start in school. So... do your homework. And now. So you can rest later.
hello there um i have a naighbor that anoys the hell out of me its not all his fault were both stuborn he is a scorpio and i am a virgo so we kinda mesh but the way he talks about black people and mexicans its not right and threatening to shoot pitbulls. im stressed from school 24/7 and he dose not help by yelling at me
stressed july 14 2008
p.s help!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Tell him he's not funny, and that he is seriously a very annoying person and shouldn't act like such a bigot. Maybe he just needs a wake-up-call.
If he persists, do your best to just ignore him. Cold shoulder goes a long way. And who says you HAVE to listen to him anyway?

im 15 and ive been questioning my sexuality a lot. ive never been with a girl but i feel more attracted to girls than guys. ive never been in a real relationship. ive hooked up with guys but i didnt like it.latley i been believing i was gay. i told my sister but she doesnt believe me. shes like your not gay u have never been with a girl and she just laughs at me. i want to go out with a girl but im nervous sence it would be my first and most likely the other girl has already been with other girls and i dont have any experience. im the kind of person who is really shy and quiet unless i know you. idk im just really confused
At 15 you can't really be completely sure what you are. You really could go either way at this point in life and its only natural that you end up very confused and upset. You don't have to try being with someone to like them though. I've never been with a boy OR girl before, and I'm fairly certain that boys attract me. That's really what it depends on.
What I think you should do is look around for more people like you. Maybe a Gay-Straight alliance at your school, or you could Google and find a forum of people with similar problems. There are also support groups out there, and many different people out there that have went through and are going through the same things. And if you really are HURTING with the confusion, you could see a therepist or counselor.
Its the time in your life where confusion hits, that won't be able to change much. But if you find someone you can talk to about it, it may take a small load from your shoulders.
Hope that helps!

I've started a new healthy lifestyle. I'm eating VERY healthily, like I eat a lot of salads and non fat meats alongside them, as well as other healthy dishes.
I'm about to join this thing that's like a gym, but not exactly one. It only has fitness equipment, and not body building equipment and they hand you a 30 minute plan for everytime you go to lose weight. I will be going twice a week, but when I become more fit work up to 3 or 4 times a week.
Anyway my question is, do you think over the duration of a year I will become a healthy weight? I'm not exactly obese, but I'm very chubby and a size away of what's classified as overweight. I'm not looking to instantly drop weight because that's ridiculous, or become toned and sexy.
I'm just asking if you think over a year I can become a healthy weight.
If you keep to good eating habits, and this exercise thing, I'm pretty sure you'll lose most your chub and end up a normal weight in maybe even less than a year.

right, i'm with this guy
& he's like a bit smaller than me.
everyone takes the mickey outa him, they say hes fat and horrible. but I definatlely don't see that.
Sure, he isn't the buffest guy on this planet, bu the has the sweetest heart and I wouldn't have anyone else.
His best friend lies to him, saying i call him fat and ugly. But he is really good-looking !!
i would never say that.
So please, help.
What should I say to stop all of this ??
X
Go up to him and tell him that you would never say anything like that. Then tell him exactly what you told us, what you like about him and how you feel. Be firm and confident when you say this too, so he knows you aren't just trying to be nice.
And if you like him that much, you should also just ask him out!
As for those two friends, tell them to butt out and stop being rude. Make sure they know you're serious too.
Good luck!

I had this party at my house for a bunch of people from school, and I got really freaked out b/c this guy like put a sticker pic of his face ON MY TOILET PAPER!!! I got really mad and yelled at him, and threw him out of the party. Later on, his friend apologized to me for him, and said that he was just trying to be funny and play a joke on me. The guy's g.f. got mad at me, though, b/c I got rid of the sticker pic and she wanted it to keep! Now I feel bad, b/c I may have overreacted...do you think that I did? What should have I done? Do you think his g.f. has any right to be mad at me?
To be honest? Yes, I think you overreacted about the whole thing. It wasn't like he did anything to publicly humiliate you, and you shouldn't have thrown him out of the party. I think you should apologize to him for that.
Now as for the girlfriend? She's overreacting too. It's one picture, and she has no right to get mad at you over it. Your friend was using that picture as a joke, therefore giving it to you in the process. If she really wanted it, she should have asked him if she could keep it instead. Or you even, she could have asked you. But she went too late and how were you to know she wanted it.
Besides, thats her boyfriend, she can get pictures of him whenever she wants.
Still, its best to just apologize to the girlfriend (tell her that you didn't know she wanted it and she should have asked you). And your friend as well.
Hope that helps!

okay, so i havent had my period since MARCH of this year.
and i ususally get them every other month for 10 days.
and its really heavy, then all of a sudden stops.
but i havent had it in so long, and every year i go on vacation and i get it there. wether i just had it or i havent had in a long time.
i dont know why.
but how can i have a light period.
or not have one at all for a week.
or shorten the cycle?
wihtout meds?
Uh... eat healthy? Maybe ask your doctor for what sort of diet you should go on?
Otherwise, irregular periods aren't going to just do what you will them to do. Even meds aren't positive, so what you're asking is pretty much shoot and miss. I finally got mine after waiting since November of LAST year.

Okay well lets say his names bob,well i just broke up with bob like two weeks ago because he was flirting with this girl saying i hit that and hey sexy and stuff.Well anyways bob was talking to me about how his going to change and stuff and i was also talking to his bestfriends and they said that his been acting like a dick. Then when i seen him for the fourth of july for the first time sence then he was drunk really badly. Then awhile i was talking to bobs friends and i asked them why his been acting like that they said because he wont let go of me. Then when I tried to talk to him on myspace today he would barely talk to me.My two closest friends said that they think if he gets drunk that bad again he might
kill his self.
Okay, I don't know exactly what you're asking, but I'm guessing you're wondering what to do about this. Let's just go with this first, no matter what Bob does, this is not your fault. Bob was betraying your trust and you had every right to break up with him. Don't just go back out with him because you don't want him to kill himself, you're just hurting yourself and him even more.
Now, as for Bob, the only thing you can do is talk to him. Tell him that you've noticed he's been upset, and you don't want him to do anything stupid over you. Tell him, if this is really bad then he should get help. Even help him find good help if you feel you should. Tell his parents too, so they can keep tabs on his drinking and depression.
But remember, no matter what heppens, it really isn't you're fault.

I don't even know where to begin. I'm 15/f, and I'm so alone, and so lonely all at once. I don't go out at all, not even to my front porch, and I'm always locked in my room. The last time I went out was probably two or three days ago, and that was with my mom to the supermarket, and because she forced me. I have no one to talk to, and I really don't blame them. No one wants to be bothered with other people's problems when they already have to deal with their own. I've lost all my friends to more interesting things. There's not really any clubs or activities around where I live, and even if there were, it's not like I'm motivated to do anything. I put on a different face for people, a confident, conceited side of me, but lately, I don't even care much about personal hygiene. The last time I went out with my friends was about 2 weeks ago, and I deadred every moment of it. I'm completely terrified by the thought of having to meet new people, in new places, and of doing different things. I literally don't belong anywhere, because I'm not normal like everyone else. I don't know how I came to be this way, or why. I take zoloft, and I go to therapy; whenever I feel like it of course. The worst thing is, I don't want to be like this, but at the same time, I don't want it to change. I don't want to be shy, and I actually want to have a boyfriend, but I find reading a book in my room a lot more comforting and safer. I hate that I feel better when I'm secluded, instead of being at a party, or even the mall. Thinking about the future and actually having to get out of here and socializing with people makes me just want to kill myself. I used to keep a journal before I got on my meds, and at first it seemed like I was improving, but now it feels worse. I'm suicidal again and I feel trapped, alone, and worthless. There's this voice in my head that asks me everyday when I wake up,"why haven't you killed yourself yet?", and I daydream of how to kill myself in the most painful and cruel way possible. I don't want to be worse, but I don't feel like getting better either. I don't feel like doing any of this anymore, because it just doesn't seem worth it. I don't even know what I'm asking, or if I'm even asking for anything at all. I guess all I'm looking for is a little hope that there's something better, some way for me to GET better, and maybe just a little motivation. Thank you to any of those who bothered reading.
Okay, first off, you really need to want to get better when you start this. I had a similar problem, though not as bad, but when I started getting happier I tried to depress myself because it scared me to be so happy. I didn't know what I was going to do. SO you have to be ready for difference.
Second, those pills seem like they're doing more harm than good. I'd go to your doctor and tell him that you're getting worse and more suicidal. Some antidepressants actually do that, its a bad side effect.
Also, go back to your journal. That's a really good way to release stress, and you said it might have been helping before.
Now then, therepy. I still go to therepy myself, but I have a set schedule and my Mom sits with me sometimes. Don't go whenever you feel like it, make a set schedule. Once, probably twice a week for you. And make sure the therepist is someone good, like smart and you actually feel like opening up to them.
And LISTEN TO THEM.
As for friends, I'm not very good with that myself. But I do have two very good friends, and while I can't talk to them about my problems (I have my journal and therepist for that), they can help distract me at times. Try to leave yourself a little open for people, and if you find someone you like try to start talking to them about simple things. A book you read maybe, find someone who likes seclusion and books too.
Your boyfriend... honestly I would say you shouldn't be going out with someone at this point in your life if he isn't helping you. But I don't know anything about that, so I'm going to have to say do what you want on that one.
But the main thing is, you really have to want to change. And you should want to change, there's always something you can do to make the world better. Okay, that sounded like the worst cliche of all of them, so I'll just stop and say, I hope you get better.
Please get better.
