My boyfriend is graduating highschool a semester early and starting to go to college in January. He is 17, almost 18. Im 16,gonna be 17 in june. I want to get him a really nice gift because we have been together for a year and a half but i dont know what to get him...he will be 5 hours away so we wont see each other much, and he cant have his car the first year and i wont get my license until summer. I can spend up to $150. I have already gotten him:
1-a nice $140 watch for our 1 year anniversary
2-a photoalbum for our 6 month anniversary
3-an interesting alarm clock for his birthday because he cant wake up in the morning. ever.
4-a shirt of his favorite band for valentines day
5-the first 3 pokemon movies as a "feel better gift" when he was sick
6-tickets to a baseball game
7-countless keychains (he loves them...his keychains a wreck haha)
8-a leather wallet
9-Posters for his wall becuase he had his room redone
10-massage oil because he was so stressed out with college and stuff
So thats pretty much it. I wnat to get him something romantic. i was thinking of getting a jar and writing down many memories (maybe 200 or 300) and thing i love about him and have each one attached to a hershey kiss. but idk if he will like it because its rediculously corny haha and i still want to get him something he will use. do you think i should give him the jar? what else could i get? some help? Thank you =] (link)

I also think that is a good idea. I'm in a long-distance relationship now and it can really make things hard, you might think of more things to give to him along with the jar of memories...
-My girlfriend gave me her necklace and I took the charm that hung off it and looped a piece of hemp cord through it. It stays tied around my neck at all times. I keep it under my shirt so no one ever sees it and I always think about her whenever I notice it. hemp cord is kind of scratchy at first, but after wearing it in the shower a few times it became nice and soft.
-You guys could trade pillows. Wash the pillowcase in your laundry right before you give it to him so that it smells like you. It's really gonna suck being apart and you guys are gonna get lonely, missing each other and all, but nothing will make him feel better than being able to squeeze a pillow that smells like you (when nobody's around of course). this is kind of like a present to yourself too since you get one of his pillows.
Those are just a couple ideas. Be creative! Things that remind him of you will be the best. If you can't think of anything else just google it. there's lots of ideas online.
I also want to stress the fact that you are going to be in a long-distance relationship and that you need to visit each other AS OFTEN AS YOU CAN! I know people say "Distance makes the heart grow fonder," and that holds true, but I have a little saying of my own: "Too much distance makes the heart grow weary, lonely, exhausted, and depressed." I don't mean to frighten you and I don't mean to sound negative either. I'm not. I just want to make sure you understand how important it is that you guys don't wait too long to see each other between visits. There are a lot of people who will say long-distance doesn't work and I am the first person who tells them they're wrong, but you have to work at it and make sure you see each other enough to keep your flame-a-burning. Don't wait any longer than 3 months to see each other. I wish someone told me that before I decided that 6 months wasn't that long.
Anyways, sorry if this wasn't entirely what you asked for but I think It's definitely something you need to be aware of.
Don't be afraid to asked me any questions regarding long-distance thing.

whay pray ? (link)
|
Prayer is about connecting to God and growing in your relationship with him.
Recently I have been going through a rough spot, and there is nothing that has helped me more than Praying to God, trusting him, and putting my faith in him that he will take care of me. I can testify to that.
Even if you have no faith, God is still listening. There is nothing that is more faith-building than trusting God (through prayer) to take care of things for you.
If you DO pray, do not expect an answer right away. If you have a trouble in your life, Pray about it, leave it with God to take care of, and then don't worry about it. God has a plan for everyone. If you obey him and follow his will, he will give you a good and happy life.
Usually people begin praying when they are going through a rough spot and although have very little to no faith, don't know where else to go but to God. If this is the case, then it is also important to remember to pray to God when you are going through a good time in your life as well. Thank him for EVERYTHING.
I promise you that God is listening when you pray. I promise you he loves you, I promise you he will answer your prayers.

You know how you can leave videos on peoples facebook wall? well, my friend left me one tonight and she had like all these animations with like face things and high pitched voices. how can i get that for my macbook? im not sure if she has a mac or not. (link)
|
I'm not sure if you're asking how to get the videos to work on your mac or if you want to know how to make them.
the good news is that macs are very good multimedia-wise.
if you're trying to get it to work, Its probably because you don't have a certain codec installed. install Perian. It is a bundle of all sorts of codecs for Quicktime and is great!
If the issue is you wanna know how to make them, Its hard to say without seeing the video myself. likely though, since you said 'animations,' you're gonna need some software such as adobe Flash. thats rather expensive though. Here's a FREE program called Pencil that does 2D animation. I haven't tried it out but it looks like its what you need.
http://www.pencil-animation.org/
to edit audio (ie. High-pitched voices), use Audacity. It is also free and very simple to use.
http://audacity.sourceforge.net/download/mac
after you make a video, iMovie works great for combining clips and cutting/trimming them.
I would first create the audio tracks using Audacity, then create a new animation in Pencil and insert the audio for your animation. Then create the video so it follows the audio track/s. after you're all done animating, you can combine scenes using iMovie if necessary and export to a quicktime file (.mov)
working with/creating videos and animations really isn't hard, it just takes time (lots of it!) and some research if you aren't sure how to use programs.

how do i record my game play ,put it on my computer.in detail please for my ps2 (link)
|
Your best bet would be just asking someone at Best Buy. you're most likely gonna have to spend some money depending on what you already have. I would look at what kind of audio and video output ports your TV has and what kind of input ports your computer has. for audio, you're probably gonna want to get an audio cable like this:
http://www.techexcess.net/audio-cable-stereo-mini-jack-male-to-2-rca-male.aspx
and plug the red/white ends into your tv and the other black end into the port on your computer where a microphone would go.
for video you could look to see if you TV and your computer have S-video ports (output for TV and input for Computer). If they do then Great. just use an S-video cable. If not you're probably gonna have to spend more money on some form of a converter box. this is where talking to Best Buy dudes helps. but expect to empty your wallet.
You're also gonna need some video capturing software. Windows Movie Maker and iMovie both work.
Dont expect this to be a simple plug in and press the red circle type of deal. Sorry.

how much would i lose if i jog 54 miles a week for 4 weeks...i weight 133 and i am 5'1 (14yr old girl) (link)
|
it really depends from person to person. none the less I think if you are motivated to do it, ~7mi a week would be incredible and I'm sure you would loose weight if not at least become healthier.
it also is going to depend on your diet. eating right really does work. Also, only eat when your STOMACH tells you you're hungry, not your brain.
It is really unhealthy to loose a lot of weight within a short amount of time. your body needs to adjust. if you loose 10lbs in 1 week, you're gonna put at least half of that back on.
people usually say 2-4lbs/week is what to expect if you eat right and exercise.
also, everyone's body is different. some people are just built bigger.

I've needed a guy point of view on this for a while! How would you react if a girl told you that she's breaking up with you; not because of something you did, but because she isn't really ready for a steady, committed relationship? Please help me out(:
(and if you could, give a better way to say it)
(link)
|
Well I think most of it depends on how the guy feels about the relationship.
If I really liked the girl, I would be crushed no matter how she said it. But if she was just someone who I had alot of fun with but didnt necessarily feel like I was going to be with forever, then I would probably just be a little bummed but take on a more of "eh, thats life" attitude towards the break up.
I think you should be thoughtful about it no matter how he feels about the relationship. guys might pretend to be all tough but they all have hearts. let his down easy.
umm you could try just maybe start out by telling him that you like him and tell him some of his qualities you admire (nothing too superficial). then just let him know that you just dont think you are ready for a serious relationship and that theres nothing he did that made you want to break up with him, you just arent at the right point in your life for getting serious about anything.
talk to him as a friend. dont get angry and if he does, dont get angry back. just let him be angry and absorb anything he says. be and act sorry about it (if you are).
I hoped this helped.
ask if you need clarification or anything else.

so theres a girl at school and she is always all over my bf. they have been friends for i guess a few years and when i ask they are "just friends". a few months ago there was this whole party situation with my bf. including her another girl my bf and 2 of his friends. they all were drinking and his friends mom said that they all had to stay the night. im told nothing happend and i really do trust my bf but u cant help but wonder right? esp. when the girl has the huge rep for being a total slut. and thats not only girls saying it. well she is always saying mean things about me and giving me nasty looks and my bf is still friends with her. i can tell he likes flirting with her and that could be all but, i noticed last month the day he was absent she was also. and then yesterday he was again and i didnt see her in school all day. nobody believes he would ever cheat on me because of the way he acts but, im not really positive,considering most guys would cheat if they knew their gf wouldnt find out wouldnt they?
so do u think he is? thanks.-Chels 16yrs. (link)
|
as a guy myself, I can say that I wouldn't cheat on my girlfriend even if I was 100% shed never find out. but really it just depends on the guy. yeah there are alota douchebags out there who wouldnt think twice about cheating, but you gotta ask yourself: "if your guy was one of them, is he worth being with?" but from the sounds of it hes a swell guy who isnt one of them douchebags. but again I cant say if he is or not cause I dont know him.
#1. do you love him? does he love you? if he does then your answer is no, he isnt cheating.
#2. if you really just are unsure whether or not he is and just want to ease your mind, just ask him. dont make it seem like you are accusing him, just be nice and ask something like: "you and (girl's name) are just friends, right?"
but if you want my opinion, you're probably just over thinking it. its more than likely just a coincidence that they both were gone. maybe you just didnt see her. did you ask where he was that day?
anyways. I'll stop rambling
GoodLuck!

What are the perks of abusing Vicodin? I dont understand why people abuse it... Please let me in on the secret? (link)
|
It's an addictive painkiller. Usually if you abuse it you are either,
1.) Someone who had some kind of injury or medical need for it and then just got hooked
-or-
2.) Someone who is into drugs and is into experimentation.
Why do you think people smoke tobacco still even with all the medical evidence that its horrible for you? cause it gives you a buzz and people get addicted.

Hii
I just kind of want a guys perspective on something. If a girl that you don't know well, but you see around & have some friends in common with randomly asked you to chill, would it strike you as awkward? There's this guy, Rob, who I've kind of been scopin at parties & things lately, and I know he knows who I am, and I think I can safely say he's at least somewhat attracted to me? But we don't chill aside from getting baked in the same house a lot. So if I were to just like, message him on facebook (HAHA yeaa, I'm that cool) when he was online sometime and be like "guess what, I think you're hot. wanna get baked sometime?", do you think it would be cute & forward or kind of slutty & awkward? :) thanks in advance guys, sorry I'm not super eloquent but ya! (link)
|
Maybe dont say anything like "you are hot." you being attracted to him doesnt really have much to do with smoking weed. I wouldnt call it slutty but im not sure if I would call it cute either. maybe it is forward and awkward? haha. but why not just ask him if he wants to chill? that way its just like you just wanted to hang out, not like you wanted to get in his pants.
P.S.
If you are 15 years old or younger, yes its slutty.

OK. His name is Robert, but I call him Rabbit. We've known each other for a year and a half now. We've never met in person, but we've somehow fallin in love over all this time. He is my dream guy. Looks & Attitude. I adore him and he adores me too. We are always talking on the phone and being retarded together on txt messages. We've already promised each other we'll get married after high school, but during the time we can date other people. Our relationship is really complicated. I can't see myself with anyone else and yet everytime he says we're finally going to meet something comes up. I don't know what to do. He told me to move on and forget about him, but I love him so much and he's just everything i've ever wanted in a guy. We're both really jealous people and we talk about everything. Including other relationships. I just know that he'll do anything for me. I really wish me and him can be together forreal, but every single time we try to meet something comes up to where we can't meet. I've waited this long for him and I just don't know what to do. I've been through hell and back with him and all the other guys i've dated just don't seem to even get as close as he is to treating me right. I know he's worth the wait, but everytime I get with another guy they do something stupid to where all I can think about is being with him. What should I do? I don't want anybody else besides him, but at the same time i'm tired of waiting. Somebody please tell me what to do. :( (link)

almost 2 years ago I started talking to a girl who lived in Ohio. I live in North Carolina. she was cool. we developed feelings for each other and we did texts and phone calls just like you and him. about a year into it we started talking about possibly visiting each other and just like you, it never worked out. I am not sure how far apart you and your dude are but at your age it is hard to meet in person cause you cant just go on your own to see each other. I know I was there. my girl and I met in july like 3 months ago for the first time. we had the same "we can see other people" philosophy before then but now I don't want to be with anyone else. do you tell each other that you love each other? If you do then you shouldn't see other people. Before my girl and I met in July, there were a few cases where I had feelings for another girl (in my area) and i acted on those feelings. this was a mistake. If you truly love this guy tell him you love him and you don't care about anybody else and you aren't going to date anyone else. DO NOT tell him you think you guys should not see anyone else and wait for each other. as far as visiting him, before my girl and I met for the first time she was REALLY nervous. She told me she cried and was scared that I was going to think she was annoying or something. although he is a guy and probably isn't going to cry about it he might just be a little nervous about leaving the comfort zone of texts and phone calls. you cant know someone well without being with them. and to tell you the truth your love for each other can only go so far when all you got is text messages. I would confront him but not aggressively. tell him basically everything you said in your question above. If he has told you he loves you and is as in love with you as you are with him then he isn't going to just not want to meet you. I wouldn't go to his house. that might be a little risky. in my experience with my girl, you have to go VERY SLOW with relationships like this if you want them to last. Im sure things will work out with him.
another thing to remember is that you are going to have bumming times like this. maybe you should just wait a little while longer before you meet each other. that might be hard but you have to remember him and that your lives are going to go at different paces and maybe he just has a lot going on in his life right now and meeting in person would just add to stress and anxiety. try to wait and just enjoy what you got. look forward to him replying to your texts and your phone calls.
maybe write him a letter or two just saying hi or something. he might not reply cause he's a guy but If you make it a special letter then i guarantee it'll make him feel good to read it. I have a huge bider full of letters from my girl. also send things to him. my girl and I bought a johnny cupcakes t-shirt (in my size) and we mail it back and fourth every two months or so and put other things in it. grab hold of his heart. i feel like a queer telling you all of this but my girl took hold of my heart and i like cant help but being like this about similar things.
Gah sorry this is long and kinda off topic but bottom line is go slow, be patient (love is patient) me and my girl were patient and now like i cant explain how much I love her just putting my arm around her waist is absolutely amazing. we're waiting to get married 6 years from now and yeah thats long but we know we can do it and i know you can too. you just have to try to think about what his life is like at this point and what he may be going through. It very well may be the case that it just hasn't worked out and was out of his hands.
the best way to make it work is patience and truly understanding what love is and how you should treat someone you love. Idk if you are a religious person, and even if you aren't, I would read the bible verse 1 Corinthians 13:4-7. just google it, its like a sentence long. Im not trying to convert you or anything its just basically the manual to loving someone. regardless of religion
good luck!
things will work out I promise.
send me a message if you have any more questions. I could even ask my girl her opinion.

Does anyone know of some free music websites. not including...Itunes, Bearshare, or Limewire??? (link)
|
OK my friend showed me some stuff a couple of years ago and its great.
if you listen to really obscure music like i do get Soul Seek.
also what i use the most is a website called www.shareminer.com if you're familiar with things like rapidshare.com, megaupload.com, or mediafire.com basically it searches blogs forums etc for links to albums that people have uploaded onto those websites.
also www.sordomusic.com and www.sordomusic.com/db are great. you gotta know what you're looking for though
the thing with sordomusic and shareminer is its full albums so you cant really do the one song thing.
hope this helps

I really like songs that have deep lyrics, and can relate to my mood. :] Right now, I am annoyed, and infuriated... So are there any songs that talk about posers, or fakeeee people? Like for example, I really want good songs that have stuff in there like stfu, stop acting and be real for once, stop copying others, get a life, get your OWN life, don't even start with your fake crap, how you're really lame for doing all those things, some people aren't real stop with your fakeness, get your own identity and ideas, not MINE, so stop trying to steal my identity and trying to be like me (I like that idea), stop copying my style, you only like and do certain things because of me, etc... you know? Things that are similiar to those things? I would like songs that kind of have that "HAH! In your face! grrr stop being a poser!" feeling. x] I prefer rock songs... I like bands like Paramore, My Chemical Romance, Fall Out Boy, Simple Plan, Good Charlotte, Evanescence, Green Day, etc. Songs that are those bands' would be great. I'd love you to death if you had some great suggestions!!! lol xD I'll accept anything, but no rap or country please. Thank youuuu so much!
(link)
|
Well my first suggestion WAS gonna be "fucking hero" by city of caterpillar but then i read no screamo so i'll spare you
next thing i thought of was "head south" by modest mouse off of thier "this is a long drive for someone with nothing to think about" album... it doesnt QUITE match the bands listed but i think its dead on was far as what its about
also there's "zurich is stained", "loretta's scars", and "here" all by pavement
idk maybe something by the pixies off of Surfer Rosa
"teenage angst" or "hang on to your IQ" by Placebo fits band type and song meaning... maybe
"now im a spider" by the comas?
oooooooo! "for marcus" by The Plot To Blow Up The Eiffel Tower... PERFECT! im pretty sure ive seen it on youtube. the song's meaning is literally what you've said The Plot is deffinately different than anything youve heard before but its rare that anyone dislikes them.
if youre just looking for some new similar bands, try At The Drive-In or Hot Cross or Cinemechanica
i realize that all this stuff might not be perfect for what youre looking for but its gonna be really hard to find EXACTLY what youre looking for. i think its best to have an open mind when listening to new music and dont limit yourself to one genre (not that you do or anything).
most of this stuff you'll be able to find on youtube. otherwise IM me or email at mossett@gmail.com and i can hook you up =]

I'm 17 yrs old-female...I like this guy since May..he was in my class, we didn't really talk so i don't know why i just started liking him..thing is i ended up telling him and he said he has a girlfriend..but after he told me that; he would stare at me all the time then he would look away when i catch him..he even tried starting a convo with me on msn one time but i wasn't at my computer...so i thought i would get over him by summer, turns out my feelings are getting stronger and i have all these emotions bottled up inside of me and i want to let them out to him but i can't...we don't even have a relationship..i can't even talk to him on msn..that's how shy i am..i just don't what to do anymore..i'm so helpless.. (link)
|
Im 17 also and a guy. this is my first piece of advice so bare with me.
If a girl came up to me as you did to him, one of three things would happen
1. If i did not feel any attraction toward her, i would feel annoyed by her and probably avoid her at all costs.
2. If i didn't know her or even really notice her before but felt flattered with the potential for feelings, than i would start to take notice of her more often and slowly but surely start to have a crush on her.
3. If i had already had a crush on her, i would feel quite happy and try to get to know her better then ask her out.
the good news is that based on what you've said you can rule out the first one. if that was the case, he would not have attempted to start a convo with you on msn nor would he admire you during class.
weather or not its option 2 or 3, he does want to get to know you. but it sounds like he too is shy. im pretty shy myself and ill tell you that positive self-talk works more than anything. if you're too shy to approach him in person, try msn like you said. maybe jot down a few ideas of what to say to him.
you said he has a girlfriend. dont worry about that for the time being. worry about being nothing but a friend to him before you think you might like to be more. that is key. if you dont think about him as someone you'd like to date and think of him as someone you'd like to be friends with, talking to him will be a breeze.
best of luck =]
