GreatestJournal started out as the free, no-invitation-needed younger brother/sister of Livejournal, so more people tried to wrangle invitations into Livejournal rather than just go with the easier and no worse GreatestJournal because of the cool factor. The main difference between the two is that in Livejournal, you've got to pay to get some of the features, whereas in GreatestJournal, I believe you get all the features for free. Except a few, of course, to make sure that people still believe there's a point in paying for Livejournal.

Right, I'm confused. Why would a triangular number have to be prime? 6 isn't prime, but it's a triangular number, too, with one dot in the first row, two in the second, and three in the third, to form an equilateral triangle.

I love all the seasons.Spring is nice, since that's when all the plants start blooming and growing and things like that, and it rains a lot, and I love rain.Summer is nice, because the sun's always shining, and I can wear tank tops and shorts and get a nice, natural, skin cancer causing tan, and I can go to the beach or swim outdoors, and best of all, there's no school.Fall/Autumn is nice, because the weather's nice and cool, it's no longer so warm, and the trees are changing colours, and it rains a lot, and like I said, I like rain.Winter is nice, because it might start snowing, and we can have snowball fights and play in the snow, and because it's so cold out, we can light a fire in the fireplace inside and sit in front of it and laugh and talk and drink hot chocolate and listen to the wind howling outside, where we aren't.

I like Rummy, Crazy Eights (Consecutive), what Zythrix referred to as Egyptian Mad Screw, but I know as Egyptian Mad Slap, Egyptian War, or Egyptian Massacre, and a game called Big Two, which is apparently a really asian game. Big Two is a little like rummy, only better. Players: 2 - 4 Objective: To use up all your cards first. The Deal: All the cards are dealt out. If there are only two players, the cards are dealt out into four piles, and the game can then be played twice without shuffling. How to Play: The person with the 3 of diamonds gets to start first, and play continues in a clockwise direction. The first person to go can choose to play just the 3 of diamonds, or use the card in a combo, but the card must be played. Play continues until no one else in the game can play something that trumps the cards last played. Combos: Doubles - two of the same card value. Triples - three of the same card value. (optional) Fives from lowest to highest: - a run of five - five cards from the same suit - three of a kind and two of a kind - four of a kind and one other - a run of five cards from the same suit The winner is the first person to run out of cards. Game play can continue, with the next person playing on the last card played by the winner, or if they are unable to beat that last card, with any card/combo of their choice.

Um...I'm not sure how accurate this is, but don't you just make sure that your breath is well saturated with alcohol or some sort of fuel and breathe out at an open flame? Technically, the alcohol/fuel saturated air will catch on fire and it'll look like you're blowing fire. I could be wrong, though.

I've met quite a few local TV stars at random restaurants all over the place, but the best star I've ever met was a guy who used to act in my favorite police tv drama, but is now working in a bank, I believe.I was having lunch with a bunch of my girlfriends, and we were all talking and laughing like girls always will, when suddenly, one of us happened to turn to the side and notice that in the booth next to ours, there was this really hot guy, that looked an awful lot like an actor we all liked. So all of us began to crane our heads to see, and we spent the rest of the meal staring at him. None of us went up to him, though, since he seemed to be in a serious conversation with the guy he was eating with, and we were all contented to just sit and stare at him instead.

Have you talked to her at all since you got sort of branded a freak and a stalker? Maybe she doesn't think that of you at all. In which case, things probably aren't as bad as you think. Keep talking to her, and then if things don't get any worse, and she doesn't ignore you or tell you to get away from her, you could possibly ask her if she wants to meet up with you to eat or something. I wouldn't suggest asking her straight out if she's single, because that would most likely just scare her off, but starting out with a compliment's always good.And if you're worried about not knowing what to say when you finally end up on a date with her, ask her about herself. Most people do like to talk about themselves, so ask her how her day was, or ask her about her favorite things to do, or about the most fun thing she's done, or, if it's near her birthday or christmas, what the best gift she's ever gotten is. Then, when you're listening, or waiting for a reply, don't freak if she just answers in monosyllables, and don't ask her another question about herself. That could really make her think you're a stalker or something. You could try telling her your answer to the question you just asked, but keep it short and change the subject to something else. Since you're both in drama, maybe you could talk about a play or something. Keep things light, and remember that if she actually agreed to go on a date with you, she obviously kinda likes you already. You no longer have to concentrate on impressing her, but work more on trying to make sure you both have a good time.Good luck!

Easy. If you've gotta ask, then definitely not.I know it's trite and cliched and that everyone says this, but you'll know it when you're ready. If you're having sex just because everyone else is, then I have to tell you that unless you're at least in your late teens, just about everyone else is lying. Besides, based on the fact that you're only thirteen, you posted a one-liner with capslock on, and looking at your nick, you're just plain too immature to even risk ending up with a kid before you graduate high school.

I've had something like that happen to me before, and generally, unless this guy is one of your best friends, or more precisely, he considers you one of his best friends, he wouldn't dare to ask you. He'd just pretend like it never happened, since his ego wouldn't be able to take the blow that a girl refused to kiss him, even on a dare.But if he should happen to turn around one day and actually ask you, it's fairly probable that he's attracted to you. Actually, I'd say that he probably is really attracted to you, since you said that he was right next to you ready for a kiss when you were dared to kiss him. Unless he's really understanding and he values your friendship with him over just wanting to go out with you, it's going to be nearly impossible for you to tell him the truth without wrecking things between you.That, or you could lie and just tell him that you weren't very comfortable kissing someone in front of so many people. Or that you had a cold and didn't want to pass anything to him.

What do you normally talk to her about on MSN and myspace and all that? You could always just keep talking to her about the same things, or if that's not possible, there's always the good old standards.People love to talk about themselves, so ask her about herself. Things like "How was your day?" and if she brushes the question off with the usual "It was alright", you can say something like, "No, really. I'd like to know", but try to keep it not too stalkerish, and then hopefully, that'll lead into a nice conversation, and by the time that ends, you'll be comfortable enough to keep talking. Or, you could ask her out instead of waiting for her to ask you out. That way, you could pick where you hook up with her, and have a little more control of things. You could always find out if she likes certain activities more than others, like perhaps she likes playing mini golf. So arrange to go play mini golf with her, and doing something instead of just sitting around will let you not have to worry too much about coming across as shy.Good luck with your relationship with her!

Thank you all so very much for all the advice and suggestions. A whole bunch of things ended up working out for me in the end...for starters, a lot of school-related things started going crazy on me, which resulted in my not really having enough time to think about anything outside of getting work done. Then when things started to settle down a little again, he went on a month-long vacation with his family, and now that he's back again, things are getting busy for me again, so it really doesn't look like I'll be thinking too much of him for another long while.The thing is, I think I'm finally over him for real, but I'm not sure. I've thought that I've gotten over him countless times before, but always, just as I'm almost entirely sure I don't feel anything when I'm around him anymore, he does something hopelessly nice and I'm lost again. I'll be seeing him for the first time in about a month tonight, which will be the ultimate test of how over him I am, so wish me luck!

I'm not saying that this must be why, but I'm thinking that it's probably just because it's been mentioned as part of the rules, that you shouldn't be doing it, so if there's still people out there who are doing it, then it's obvious that they aren't reading the rules. So maybe it's more that they're being warned for not reading the rules, or thinking that no one will notice, than it is about the adding your name at the end of a post. Yeah, just my take on things. I for one think it's stupid and pointless and demonstrates glowingly how stupid some people can be. But like I said, I'm still a newbie round here, so...

I'd want my eyes to be some really funky color that no one else has. Something that really stands out. I agree with xaetos, that your eyes really show who you are, and really, I'm happy with my almost black eyes, but I have to admit that I've always wondered what it'd be like to have purple eyes or silver eyes or something really strange and exotic like that.

It's easier to say what would gross me out the least...and even that depends. Like for "Food falls on ground/floor", it would depend on how dirty the floor is, and what kind of food it is. Say if I was at home eating a piece of chocolate and I dropped the chocolate, I'd still eat it if it didn't roll somewhere that's really dirty or something. And if it's my hair in the food, I'd still eat it after I picked the hair off, since it's my hair, and it doesn't really matter. Same for sneezing and coughing, if I'm the one that did it, it doesn't make that much of a difference for me. And for "Different foods are mixed together", it'd depend on what foods they are, and what they taste like. Although most of the time, unless one or both of the foods is something that I really don't like to eat, I'd just eat them both anyway. No biggie.

Um...I didn't realise you could use a debit card to buy things online. I have one, and as far as I can tell, it's always credit card that they want. Although I think PayPal might except cheques from a debit card account or something like that. I'm not sure, though. And for what you have to do to get one, and the certain sum of money, and the interest rate you have to pay, it depends on the account, I believe. The one I have is like a normal bank account, with a card that I can use to pay without having to use cash, and instead of having to pay interest, they give me interest instead if I leave it in the savings account instead of the chequing account.
