about





I'm Rachel, I'm 20 and a Junior at Michigan State University! I've been with advicenators for a few years, and I enjoy coming on ever so often to help someone who needs it. I love giving advice, especially to people who have been in the same situation as I have. So ask away ;)


By the way, I just wanted to let everyone know that though I do enjoy this site, advicenators does not consume my life, so please be patient when waiting for a response. It may take up to 2 days, it may be instantaneous.

I'm looking for Sherrilyn Kenyon's "The Dark-Hunter series" only, I would like to read the graphic novel series, but I can't seem to find it anywhere online. Is there a website where I can read it for free or do I have to buy it?

I doubt you can easily find it for free online. I assume you have to buy it...here's a website with the first issue and comparable prices from online:

could yu still have a smile even if you have a gap in between your teeth.?

Yes! You can have a smile even if you have NO teeth, or missing teeth, or pink teeth, etc. My 15 year old sister smiles all the time and she has a slight gap in between her two front teeth. It just makes her unique and I honestly think it's adorable.

A dictionary definition: "Change one's facial expression by spreading the lips, often to signal pleasure"

Or, you could "smile with your eyes" as Tyra says :)

Me: F19 boyfriend:M19
So my boyfriend that I have been dating for a year and 4 months is being a jerk. Here's the story... two weeks ago he throw a party at his older sisters house when she out of town. When the sister came back a neighbor told her he was throwing partys. She asked him if that was true, he lied and said that he threw no partys while she was gone. Well she believed the neighbor over her brother (my boyfriend). Will my boyfriend is so mad that she did not belive him. Me and his sister are good friends. We hungout all day together (two weeks after the party issue). When he realised I spend the whole day with her. This is what he sent me via text message...
Boyfriend: Im so mad at her u dont even know. And uve spent all day with her.
Me:I guess we will talk about this later... but I don't even know why you are. You did have a party at her house. She is not mad at you for it. Just drop the whole thing she believed robben over you.
Boyfriend: F*** off. Go have fun... No we wont be talking about this later. Turning off my phone! Dont text me or call or show up on my breaks.
Me:Jon you don't tell anyone to fuck off especially the one you love. That is very disrespectful, and rude. How dare you get mad at me for hanging out with your sister when you two have a problem
Me:I thought you were goingt to stop being so mean and disrespectful to people. And not treat me like sh** What happen to the guy the guy that wanted to become a better man and not turn into jeff?
* jeff is a really mean guy who treats people really badly*

What should I do? Am I wrong for hanging out with his sister? I am so mad he told me to f*** off I have a right to be right?

You're not wrong at all for hanging out with his sister. If you and his sister are good friends, then he should accept and understand that. Whatever problems he has with his sister are HIS problems, not yours. He can't expect you to be mad at her just because he is. You definitely have a right to be mad at him; he had no right at all to tell you to f off when you did nothing. Seriously. He needs to mature and be a big man about this. I would talk to him about it and tell him that he's being wrong, he needs to stop, basically tell him that his problems aren't yours.

Honestly, he sounds like a jackass. If he continues to treat you bad, I would end it or consider going on a break.

Hey guys! 18/F

I have a group of friends that normally hangs out together, but lately everyone has been separated. Rachel and Sarah have a problem with Danielle and Jessica, and it is apparent. Now, I am close with both "groups", but I am definitely closer to Jessica and Danielle. Today, while I was hanging out with Rachel and Sarah, they said a few things about Jessica and Danielle. Later that night, Jessica called me and I told her a few things that they said. I did not exaggerate anything at all, but Sarah called me upset that I told them and that she expected that I wasn't going to say anything. There's nothing I can do because obviously I can't take anything back (like I wish I could). How do I make this right? I already sent a message to Rachel because I haven't talked to her easily (she's asleep). I said my apologies (I am sincere about them) but I know they will hold a grudge over me and I know I lost their trust. Is there anything I can do to fix it?

Everyone makes mistakes and has a slip-up. Honestly, the best you can do is apologize and hope they accept it. They will be mad at first, yes, but if they are true friends, they'll get over it and forgive you. Just tell them about how sorry you are, own up to what exactly you said, and be a big person. For future references, don't try and become the middleman. The peacemaker hardly wins; they will just both reference you as a 'source' and pull you deeper into their problems, and you don't want that. Let them deal with this on their own. Stay friends and don't pick sides, and don't show favoritism as well. Invite them both out, and if they can't be a big person and deal with the others, then their loss.

I have been in the same situation. Not worth it to get involved. Trust me.

What is a brazillian? My friends said that's when you shave or wax "down under" but that's all they know. Why do women do that? And do men do it too?
If it helps I'm a 13/f and I really want to know!

Yes, it's waxing "down there". I personally would not wax down there because I have a low pain tolerance, and I heard it hurts quite badly. But for those that don't like hair down there, Brazilian Waxing removes stubble and leaves it clean and smooth as opposed to stubble left from razors. I suppose men could do it as well, but I don't know any one who has gotten one. Most guys I know just trim.

Winter is coming up, and I would like to find cute scarves. I have searched ae, aero, hollister, delias (even though I am not fond of those stores) and I have searched urban outfitters, nordstroms, macy's and dillards and have yet to find one that appeals to my liking. I saw one at abercrombie, but it is way overpriced
http://www.abercrombie.com/webapp/wcs/stores/servlet/product_10051_10901_452672_-1_12252_12203
This is the type of scarf (the style) that I am looking for, but I can't afford to spend 40$ on one.
Does anyone know where I can find cute scarves. I am looking for solid colors and plaids.
Thanks!

Wow, it looks like you've searched everywhere! I'm sorry if this doesn't help, but here is where I have looked:

Charlotte Russe
http://www.charlotterusse.com/family/index.jsp?cp=2758877&categoryId=2903756&view=all

ASOS
http://www.asos.com/Women/Accessories/Cat/pgecategory.aspx?cid=4174&Rf-100=Scarves&sh=0
(Though these can be quite pricey)

Old Navy
http://www.oldnavy.com/browse/category.do?cid=37808

The Gap
http://www.gap.com/browse/category.do?cid=34764

H&M has some cute ones, as well. Marshall's, Loehmann's, Lucky Brand, Buckle, Levi, , etc.

If worse comes to worse, my friends and I go thrift store shopping and find amazing clothes for cheap (though sometimes used). You might find what you're looking for, though. :)

How can I write about my whole life online? to where I can let others view it.. and get feed back?

There are many online journals.

Personally, my favorites are
- xanga.com
- livejournal.com
- blogspot.com


These free journals feature personalization, and enable comments for visitors.

You can also you Myspace Blogs (blogs.myspace.com), which isn't as fancy as the others, but will get the job done.

14/f

i was wondering what everyone was looking forward to for the twilight movie coming out on the 21st. what are your ideas. did you like the commercials?

I read the books, and I really enjoyed them, so I'm interested to see how the actors portray each character as opposed to how I portrayed them in my head while reading the books. I'm also interested in seeing the differences between the movie and the book.

As for the commercials, I liked them, but honestly they didn't strike me as amazing. They were just cool, but I've only seen one trailer so I don't know. :P

15/f, going to be a sophomore

field hockey tryouts start next week, tuesday august 5th. i'm running everyday, trying to eat healthy, etc. i am really really really nervous though, and i was wondering what i should do the day before tryouts? should i run still? if anyone has any tips for advice please give them to me, i'm trying to do everything to prepare.

Although I don't do field hockey, for the sports I DO try out for, I don't really run the day before tryouts. Usually I just continue to eat healthy, hydrate by drinking water and nothing else (soda, juice, etc), stretch a lot, and as the other person said, just relax. :)

ok, i REALLY need a job! (mostly because i want to buy clothes ) im only 13,but i really want one. i cant babysit,im horrible with kids. (maybe i could if i had another person with me) but other than that,what else could i do? i'm turning 14 in 3 months, so what jobs do they have for 14 year olds also? thanks!!

Many fast food places and ice cream places hire 14 year olds. McDonald's, Burger King's, Dairy Queen, Baskin Robbin's, etc. It may not be the ideal job, but everyone starts somewhere!

One of my friends has really bad body odor.
Its so bad, even our teachers complain about
it when they walk into the classroom. My friends
and I have tried to drop hints like 'Oh I just
got this great new deorderant you should try!'
'What kind do you use?' We've even bought
her perfume, which hasn't helped.
She's sensitive, so we're not sure how to
tell her she stinks. When we say something
smells bad, she just brushes it off by saying
"I don't smell anything"

.. What should we try?

Listen, I know this sounds repetitive, but it's really true. You're going to have to tell her straight up. There's no easy way to go about this, but there are many different ways to approach her, for instance, "_______, you're a really great person, but our bodies are growing and I hate to break it to you, but I think we need to work harder on our personal hygeine." Then just go from there, explaining how people feel, etc. Also, you should either do it alone or with one of her really good friends, because she'll just feel humiliated if you say something like that in front of a bunch of people.

I WAS that girl back in Middle School, and there's no easy way to take it. I denied it and all, but deep down I knew I had to do something about it, and I did. Yes, I was angry at the few friends that said something about it, but eventually I knew that they were trying to help; that they didn't want me to be embarrassed or made fun of behind my back.

It's tough, but gather the courage with a friend to tell her. Break it to her softly, but make sure she knows that she might have a problem.

I really like abercrombies clothes but they are really expensive but abercrombie kids in fairly reasonable and i was wondering if i had a chance to fit into their clothes. i wear a small/medium now in juniors and the only reason i switched to juniors about 4 years ago is because all the clothes just didnt fit right like the pants werent long enough and the shirts were loose and stuff. well i know abercrombies clothes fit tightly both kids and juniors so do i have a chance to fit into their clothes?

the nearest abercrombie kids to me is like 45 mins away and i dont wanna drive there if i dont have any chance? any ideas?

Yeah, I think you could. I'm a size medium in juniors, but at Abercrombie kids I get L/XL and they fit fine. :]

I really want to go on a cruise for vacation, but I have never been on a cruise before. Can someone who has had expirience with many various diffrent cruise lines tell me which ones are best. I would like it to be high end and entertaining but also reasonable priced. Thanks so much!

My family and I went on the Carnival Cruise lines a couple of years ago. It's a nice cruise and very relaxing. Most people I know go on this one. They also have many different ships and destinations that you can choose from, ranging from 2 days - 2 weeks.

Wow, I asked my best friend this exact same question. He told me that the pants have a lot of room and are actually more comfortable for him than baggy pants.

I fit pefectly into a 00 at aeropostale. I was wondering if anyone who fit in a 00 there, fit into a 00 at other stores. I've tried Pac Sun, but the waist is just huge! Share some seceret sopts please!

(especially in Morris County, NJ!!)

My sister fits into 00 at --
Hollister
Abercrombie
Wet Seal
American Eagle
& Gadzooks
but the sizes at the store vary from time to time. For instance, I'm a size 3 but at one store I was a size 0. (That made my day lol) I know how hard it is for people so little to find the right pants.

okay so i want to download psp brushes....

how do i download them/where do i save them to.

(if it helps im using psp 11)

You can download them by searching for them online, like googling "PSP brushes." If I can find the site where I got some really good ones, I'll leave them for you. PSP brushes usually end in .jbr, and all you have to do is unzip the file and save them to the brushes folder.


I think the usual drive is:

C:/Program Files/Jasc Software or something like that.

Then find the folder that says PSP11 or something of the sort.

Then there should be a folder inside there that's called brushes.

EDIT:
Great place for some brushes --

They also explain clearly how to install brushes.
