Hey I'm Gin.

As you can tell from my email, I am seriously into music. I love it because it can be interpreted so many different ways. I am currently a student and pretty stressed out person.

So if you've came to ask me how to relax, you've graced your presence on the wrong profile.

The year 1984 in my username/email isn't the year I was born. I picked 1984 from the book with the same title by George Orwell. Honestly it's because I felt that music is the Big Brother of all things because it can pop up anywhere and in a sense be watching you.

If you haven't read 1984 you've no clue what I'm talking about. Go read it, it's a great book. If you like 1984, try Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury. Oops. Sorry, getting off my literary kick now.

That's about it.

I made a video on windows media player version 9, & i cant upload it on youtube because "File Format Invalid"?
how do i change the file format?
thank you (link)
I'd reccomend making an account with onetruemedia.com and upload your video. It'll reformat it and you can upload the video into Youtube from there.


Yeah, I know I could look it up by typing the lyrics. HOWEVER, I just know that there's a few times in the song when "Laalalalaaa, la la laalalaa" or something similar is sung. It's upbeat, a recent song and it's a female sounding voice.

Anyone know what I'm talking about? :) (link)
It might be 'If U Seek Amy' by Britany Spears.


Hey, Im a girl from Europe and I really need help. I have been talking to a guy through msn and we got to love each other, though we have never met, because he lives in the USA. He told me to ask him anything I dont know and anything I want to know, but I am too shy to ask him some questions. He admitted me that he loves me and I told him I love him too. We 'met' in february and now its august..and we got to reach the point to tell this to each other in july. He told me that he would marry me because in his eyes I am perfect and he could live his whole life with me. And when I told him I love him very much and I can hardly stand that I can't express this to him from face to face he told me not to worry about this since we are happy, because noone knows what will happen and he wants me to be happy and not to be sad about it. But I cant help, I want to be with him very much. I am afraid of talking about this with him, because I don't know what he really wants.



Should I ask him about this? Or I would scare him with a question like for example 'Do you want me to be there?' ? I miss him all the time..I can talk to him about everything and I just wish I could be with him. I am just 18 and I am in high school and I dont have money to go there. He is 19 and he goes to college so he can't do it too. Do you think it is a big distance? How lond should we go on like this? He told me that he is here for me until I find someone better. But I dont want anyone else because he is the one I love. I am afraid of that I might find someone, because I would never hurt him and I dont even want to lose him. And of course I am afraid of that he might find someone too.


Please help me. Thank you (link)
Love, it seriously sucks. (Not my original answer)


Sorry this is very long, but this is the first time im talking about it my whole life. I love my family, and i love my sister. I always have. Shes going to college in a month, and im going to be a sophomore in high school, but ive noticed that i feel like everything i do, she does better. It has been this way for a long time.

When i was little, i was really into dance. I wanted to take a dance class. My sister, Jenny, was never really into dance. Once I started to get good, Jenny joined the class, and became #1. It was frustrating that she just decided to do it because i was getting recognized, and she worked her ass off to become better. I quit after the recital, and she quit the next year.

After dance, i got into soccer. I was on the team from 1st grade to 5th grade. Jenny then decided to do soccer, and then always had my dad, who was the assistant coach on MY team, go to her games. He would miss half my practices just to see my sisters game. Eventually, he quit being assistant coach. At 5th grade, the team fell apart. My sister quit soccer that year. Coaches always tried to get her to be on their teams though. It was frustrating.

Then i started to run. It was a good way to stay in shape, and blow off steam. It was relaxing and made me feel great. I started in like 6th grade. I was set on joining the track and cross country team the next year. Jenny joined the track team as her freshman year in high school, as soon as i started running. She became the "track star" and was invited to states and nationals and everything, but never went. It was so frustrating that she would only join because i was. She would never admit it, even though she hated running, adn would always complain about it. She quit her senior year of high school, btu im still running. People always ask me if MY SISTER got me into running. I politely say, no we got into it at the same time, but its still so annoying.

I love animals. I always have, and i was the one to convince my parents to get a dog. Jenny always HATED pets and dogs. They hated her too. It was just horrible to have her in the same room with my puppy. When we started to get older, and she turned like 16, she would brag to guys and parents about how SHE took care of the pets and SHE loved them. I WAS THE ONE WHO FED THEM AND WALKED THEM AND BRUSHED THEM AND WASHED THEM AND CHANGED THEIR WATER OR CAGE SHEDDING AND TOOK CARE OF THEM. She only had 2 fish, and killed them both within a week. I took care of 2 dogs, 3 cats, a hamster, and they all lived long healthy lives. It made me want to hit something.

Ever since i was 5, i LOVED kids and babies. I could relate to them, and animals, more than i could with adults and people my age. It is still that way. I want 3 kids, and i want to be an elementary school teacher. Everyone knows i want to do that. Jenny always wanted to make a lot of money, and be a lawyer. She applied for her colleges, and got into the one she wanted. She decided she was going to go into Pre-Law. She already knew she was going to do that. YESTERDAY, a month before she goes to college, she decides she wants to study EDUCATION. WTF?! She doesnt want kids, she doesnt want pets. She hates children, and babies, and tries to avoid them. She says, "I only like people 18 and older". I DONT UNDERSTAND. Shes deciding to start next semester though.

Honestly, I need your help. Am i just jealous or does she REALLY seem to do this just to get on my nerves? Its like she wants to take everything i like and be better at it, adn once i stop, so does she. I know im jealous, but i cant help it. I have never told anyone any of this, so it is kinda a rant. I thank you all for reading this, i know its very long. And if she is doing it to bother me, i want to talk to her about it. We have always been pretty close, and i dont want to hurt her, or our friendship. so What would i say? and how do i put it nicely. THANKYOU ALL (link)
I'm the younger sister as well. My mum is a single parent and when people ask she always says she doesn't pick favorites.

Bull. My sister has always one upped me on everything and it gets completely annoying. I work my ass off for awards and no matter how much I win she always gets the praise and attention.

It's tiring, I completely understand. Honestly, think of the qualities that you have, and the ones your sister has. I mean, who's going to be proud to say 'As a kid I was a liar.'? No one.

Just be honest with your sister, I'm always bruitally honest with mine and even though we fight we still have a really close bond.

On the career choice, maybe she's afraid. Law is not only a hard course, but it's also really difficult to succeed in it.

Just sit her down and talk. It may seem hard, but it'll benefit your relationship with her.

To end this, a quote from one of my favorite books. "Don't think, don't judge, just listen."


My parents are divorcing and it's really hard. I cry all the time. I don't want them to divorce and not be together. They're always yelling now and fighting over really STUPID stuff! I hate it. It's making me really depressed. Mom says Dad doesn't listen to her and Dad says Mom doesn't seem interested in him any more. It sounds like a big bunch of garbage now and I just want this to be fixed. What do I do? How do I cope? (link)
Honestly? Sometimes relationships just can't be fixed. My parents were seperated before I was born and divorced about 5 months after. I grew up with only one parent and it was odd, especially seeing other kids with both.

It has to be harder for you seeing as you know both of them, but you have to think of their happiness as well. If they aren't happy, it's going to affect your home life as well as school and your social life.

Maybe you should talk to your both your parents at the same time, let them know how you're feeling.

You have to remember though, them seperating isn't the end of the world. You're still going to see both of them and even though they may not be together they still love you very much. If they stayed in this relationship just because you wanted them to, I can guarrentee that you will all be miserable.

I know it sounds incredibly stupid, but you need to let this run it's course. Who knows, it might even fix it's self.


Me and my sister cannot get along. It is a shame because we are both grown adults. I am 26 and she is 25. We are like Salt and Sugar, this is how different we are. My mother always blames me because although my sister is so childlish and inmature, I am the oldest and set the example which it really makes me go nuts because we are only a year apart. Me and my sister lives in two different states and we get along great on the phone but as soon as we get together is like a disaster waiting to happen. I truly try hard but she gets on my nerves sooo bad! If she sees I am very upset at her and I just dont feel like talking, I cannot get away from her, she talks and talks her head off and I try to ignore her until I calm down but she wont budge. She makes everything worst. I wish I could just forget about her and I would love to completely cut her out of my life but she is my sister and I am suppose to love her the way she is but I just dont know how to get along with her. She is extremely selfish. We dont even share anything in common. She does not give me any respect or privacy. I even honestly think that my mom had an affair with another man because she does not even look like my dad at all when he was alive although my mom denies it of course. (link)
I have the exact same problem. Only the roles are vice versa. I can't stand my sister at all. She never gives me privacy, she's always trying to get into my buisness when it doesn't concern her, and she never (and I mean never) stops talking.
Despite all that I still love her.

Anyway, when she's talking and won't be quite try focusing on something else. Catch a few words every once in awhile so you can say something relative to what she's saying that way it seems like you're actually paying attention to her.

You could always find common ground, or a safe topic as well. Mine is 80's movies, hers is Sci-fi shows. Something we don't both have to like, but still have enough of an opinion on to have a civil conversation.

If you honestly just don't feel like talking, make up some bad news that made you 'feel' depressed and the talking won't come to a hault, but it will slow down.

Hoped some of that helped.


Hey, my names Laura. I'm 16, And the love of my life is leaving for college next month... :/ Please don't say i'm young and that i will find someone else, i think this boy is my everything.

His name is Ryan, hes 18. We have been together since Late august. We went from september untill may, then we broke up. We continued to be "together" but without the label of being boyfriend/girlfriend. He took my virginity, so he was my first. he was here for everything, he was the first boyfriend that didn't abuse me, use me, or fuck me over.

I'm really, REALLY scared. I'm terrified. He is going to college about 6 hours away. I have never felt more upset in my life whenever i think about him leaving. He only can come home once every 10 weeks. I know I'm going to have to deal with what is coming at me, but I really dont want too. Just whenever I think about him leaving, I start crying. I don't want him to leave, he cant. I need him.

I really don't know what to do, I don't know how to tell him that I REALLY need him, I'm the kinda girl that likes to talk about more serious stuff online, I'm shy. I choke on my words upfront, and if I talk about this with him, I'll cry. I dont want to cry infront of him. But I want him to know that Im upset.. I've been playing it cool for the last couple months, so has he. We both know were really upset inside.

I have a therapist and we talk about him sometimes, whenever she brings up his name and mentions him leaving for school, I choke up, and start crying. I cant speak, words dont come out. I cry for the entire session. My life will be misriable without him. and everyone knows it..

The other night he was telling me (via text) that he can only come home once every 10 weeks and cant do anything about it. I was at the car dealer getting a car, I had to walk away from my family and cry in the bathroom, I couldn't hold it in. I was misriable from just hearing that news.

Ryan and I hang out every day, have sleepovers almost every other night, we really cant live without eachother. I've helped him through alot and he has picked me up when I thought everything was ending (being abused for 8 months in my last relationship, and giving up) he gave me hope.. he made me into the person that i always wished to be, a girl who is in love.

I know it was my mistake to begin liking him knowing he was leaving for school in a year. You cant beat love.

Can someone please help me? I feel like im dying, I dont know what to do without him... Please. (link)
Honestly, if you two love each other enough to want to be together when he goes off to college, you've got a pretty good chance there already because most guys don't want to stay with their high school girlfriends. You both seem to have gone through a lot together and I believe you'll make it. If you're still feeling insecure about it, maybe you should talk to your boyfriend. I know he already said he couldn't change anything about visiting, but maybe it'll help to calm your nerves. Who knows, maybe he's feeling the same way too.

Best of luck.
