Advicenators: Ask lorelei! | lorelei's Advice About Random Weirdos

Hi, I'm Lorelei. I live with my mother, my older sister and my grandmother.
I travel a lot but I'm never a tourist. ;) My mother owns property all over the country and I'm extremely lucky to feel at home in so many different places. It's a lot of fun and I get to see a lot of things and meet a lot of people.
Shopping always seems to be better away from home too.
I'm very fashion-minded and stylish, spontaneous and energetic, dorky and giggly. I enjoy having a good time. Almost too much. I party every chance I get. I do drink but I do so responsibly and you should too.
I'm very young but the year 2003 caused me to learn more about who I am than some people get to learn about themselves in an entire lifetime. Ever since I've made it a point to share what I've learned with everyone possible. Ask and I'll do my best to answer.

Whether or not you found my advice useful, a rating is appreciated, good or bad. Let me know how I can improve.

im getting my belly button peirced...
wut things can i do to get ready for it..?

On top of the excellent advice rainbowcherrie offered, I'd suggest you relax and remember that it's about a split second of discomfort in return for an awesome new excuse to buy jewelry. ;)
I'm assuming this is your first piercing, so don't be afraid to ask your piercer 100 questions if that's what you need to feel comfortable. A good piercer will be more than happy to do everything it takes to make you comfortable.

I have an LG phone, its model VX5300. Its a picture phone, and I can take pictures fine and everything...
I want to make my own ringtone, because I want to sing this song that *I* wrote, and make it my ringtone. Is there a way to record it on my phone without having it on your computer??

You can't record it right on your phone, but you can e-mail yourself a ringtone for free.

You need the mp3 on your computer, first of all. I'd recommend converting it to ringtone format with AudioGizmo [http://ringtones.audiogizmo.com/].
Then just e-mail the new mp3 file to YOURNUMBER@vzwpix.com

Then you should be able to just save it to your phone as a ringtone. That's how I do it on my LG VX8600. ;]

How much does Facebook Mobile messages cost?
Like, is it 99 cents a message? Also, I have unlimited texts for Verizon, does that mean anything?
What are the incoming/outgoing for texting to fbook?

That's one of the awesome things about Facebook. They don't charge a thing.

If you have unlimited text messages, it won't cost anything extra to use.

However to browse Facebook on your phone with the browser, will incur data charges.

All the pages on your site after 3 are blank.Why is that the case?Did you delete them???how????

It doesn't appear that way to me...
Make sure you're not just looking at one of my 'favorite categories'. Click 'Read Advice' at the top of my column and try browsing again. I definitely haven't deleted anything.

and she doesnt know what the code is.
Any ideas how to get it back to the song part , cuz she cant even listen to her songs or anything

I did the SAME THING. I have a first generation iPod nano (the ones with mirror-back casings).

All I did was plug my iPod in to my computer with iTunes open and when I unplugged it again, it was unlocked. :)

Good luck!

um, i have a nikon coolpix L11 and when i bought it quite recently, two i think double or triple A batteries were supplied.

now, my camera says that the batteries are exhausted! i admit i've been using it a lot, but i thought that when you connect it to your computer, the batteries get juiced up again? or do i have to keep buying batteries [which is superr retarded]

love.

Look at the batteries. They'll say whether or not they're rechargeable. Odds are, they aren't. You can buy rechargeable ones at any major store for about 20-30 dollars.

Someone asked a question sbout you.

http://www.advicenators.com/qview.php?q=485012

What do you think about it?

It's surprising that people are still talking about me after being gone from this site for so long.

I will say that the first columnist's reply was extremely rude. I don't think I act glamorous...I don't intend to put forth any sort of contrived image. I just am who I am. :]

There is one columnist who draws peple like flies.She rarely lists anyone as a favourite columnist but many people list her as a favourite columnist.She rarely answers questions from the pool but she still gets tonnes of inboxes.Once someone told her not to drink snd she told them to mind their own business.She got an apology and even a rating of five for being rude.When I told someone to mind their own business I was yelled at by her and told not to be so rude.Dale Carnegie who said in his book titled "How to make friends and influnce people that people like people who make them fell important and appear to like them.She contradictcts him.Why do people love her so much?How can I be like her and make people like me?This is her advice column-http://www.advicenators.com/column.php?u=lorelei

So, let me just say that I'm really surprised to see this question.

I used to write here a LOT and people seemed to think I was nice and that I gave good advice. Also, I was never rude to anyone who asked me a legitimate question. The question you mentioned was not answered rudely. I was just up front about it. I said I didn't care what people thought, and I don't.

I don't know what else to say.

When someone asked if you had an online photo album you said you got tired of the fakers so you took your pics down.What are fakers?

Crazy people who take pictures of me and pretend to BE me. Crazy.

heyy lorelei.. it michelle ipiiiniki my anti drug
i was reading your info a long time ago and you said you dropped out of school.. that is odd because you seem very educated and like a a student.. hmm wierd.. lol
keep up the good work ;)

I'm in school again. I only dropped out for about 6 months before going back.
And not to sound conceited but I've always been well-spoken and well-read. I read a lot and always have. My mom took me to a lot of museums and plays in Chicago when I was too little to care and I think all of that left its mark on me. :)

lately you only answer inboxes why?

Usually when I sign on to advicenators it isn't for that long. My inbox questions take up most of my time. I still answer questions from the pool, just not as often as I used to. :) Plus, a lot of the questions in the pool are really dumb, haha! I'll answer a good one when I see it.

Just wanted to say first off, i

Why thank you. :) I've heard so many people talk about the Gilmore girls in reference to my name. I've never seen the show before, heh. Almost makes me want to watch it.
Ok, makeup. Lately, I've been using Liquid Eyeliner by The Body Shop. I LOOOVE the applicator. It's almost impossible to mess up. I use brown for the daytime with clear mascara by Max Factor. Usually, I only line my upper eye during the day as well. At night, I use the same eyeliner in black with MAC Pro Longlash in Burnt Umber (it's like a dark brown). Experiment with different colors though, depending your own outfit and hair color. :)

On my hair, I've been using Frederic Fekkai Baby Blonde Shampoo and Fredetic Fekkai Glossing Conditioner. I used to swear by John Freida products, but experimenting never hurts. :) They are working wonderfully.

About our vacay homes, my mother is a HUGE real estate buff and she never likes to stay in one place, lol. She works really hard for everything she wants. She's so smart and dedicated. Ahhh, I love my mommy! lol
