Okay. So you see all these posts about how you shouldn't think about sex at your age. Well honestly, I know (I'm 14) that sometimes you just can't help but have a little. . . errrrmmmm. . . . thought. . .every now and then. And that's normal. It's okay.But you are too young to engage in the activities right now. When the old folks here say it requires ALOT of responsibillity, THEY'RE RIGHT! I know, I'm a girl and I have a wild sex drive and it can be tough. (Now I'm assuming you're a guy) What if you get your partner pregnant? Did you know that you are REQUIRED BY LAW to pay child support on that kid untill that child turns 18? What if you contract or your partner contracts an STD? You have to deal with that. Plus, you didn't give much info on your partner, so I'm assuming that they haven't said anything about it.Sex is tempting. Let's face it. But at you're age, it won't be as good when you're older because of many things, and there are alot of mental consequences that come along with it.The best way I can phrase the difference between women and men is like this: when it comes to arrousal, men are like microwaves and women are like crock pots. Men are ready to go but a woman needs some time and if you're a guy, you must let her take her time. Also think of their minds like this: men's minds are like waffles and women's are like spagetti. Men can seperate things easilly but if a woman does something it affects everything they do or think. A guy can have sex or something along those lines and do okay the next day. But a woman has a million things going through her head. Could I be pregnant? What if I don't get my next period? What if he had an STD and I got it from him? A girl your age's grades will fall dramatically. Her social life will be affected.Bottom line, don't do it.Now I guess none of us can stop you but PLEASE think before you act. You'll appreciate your decision to wait in the long run.

Hmmm. . . sounds good. Although I'm not allowed to use the grill or oven without parental supervision (really long story lol) so you'll have to try it out and let me know how it turns out. hehehe.

Okay, another one of my brilliant after school ideas.During spanish I got a craving for cucumbers and something spicy.So you need one large cucumberThe juice of 1 lemonSome chilli powderSome cilantroSome oreganoA pinch of rosmeryJuce the lemonAdd in enough chilli powder to make a watery pasteThen add in a teaspoon of cilantroAnd a teaspoon of oreganoAnd then the pinch of rosemaryStir in untill it's good and brushable onto the cucumbers (add more dry ingrediants if it's to watery, more lemon juice if it's too thick) and then cut up the cucumber.Take a brush (the kind you use to put marinade or barbeque sauce on meat) and brush it on to the cucumbers and enjoy.This isn't really spicy at all so most will be able to enjoy it.

Now jim don't get angry just because you can't handle the hot stuff. lol. I think I should add more hot sauce. . . I like my stuff extra spicy. . . .

I'm really sad about this storm, most of my favorite places in galveston are either completely gone (like merdocks and millers) or severly damaged (like the Tremont, the Galvez, and the salt water grill.) It's sad because I love galveston even though the beach is a dump. Anyway, I live four hours away from galveston and Ike was still lower hurricane/upper tropical storm when it got here. Most of my friends houses are flooded. Tree limbs are everywhere. The creeks are over flowing. Roofs are leeking. Car windows are busted. Lots of people lost power. Churches and gyms are filled with evacuees.Anyway yes people should have gotten out of the way, but the same thing goes for that guy who stayed in his house when Mount St. Helen exploded, some people are just so rooted in they wouldn't leave for anything.I'm really worried though, I have a cousin down in Chorpus Christy and I haven't heard from him in a long time. . . oh well we'll just see what happens.

True abortion is wrong, morally disgusting, and stuff, but you can't out law it. Why? Here's why.I wish there was a law saying that all abortions are illegal unless the pregnancy is threatining the mother's life. But the a soon to be mother who doesn't want a baby can say that she's having problems when she really isn't. It's a sad world that we live in, that people kill innocent babies, but it's part of our society that we live in.But that brings up another topic: ABSTINANCE. If you don't want a baby, don't make the baby. Simple as that. I really think that they should better educate teens in school about sex and the consiquences of it so that way we wouldn't have as many optional abortions and babies left in toilets or dumpsters or trash cans.

So one day after school I was hungry like a ravenous beast lol. I wanted something spicy but we didn't have anything. So I just threw some stuff together and this is what I came up with. It sounds crazy but it is really good. It can be used with crackers and whatnot.Okay here's what you need.1 cup of buttermilk ranch dressing2 drops of extra virgin olive oil1 tea spoon of powdered garlic2 table spoons of Red Devil hot sauce1 table spoon of chilli powder1 teaspoon of west texas dustA pinch of rosmery1 teaspoon of parsley1 teaspoon of oregano1 teaspoon of dill weedAdd or subtract ingrediants as you wishNOTE: west texas dust is not for the faint of heart. It's powdered habenero peppers and those are the hottest kinds of peppers (they're half as hot as pepper spray is) do not add as much (or add it at all) if you can't stand hot stuff, this would be a bad idea to use in large ammounts. It's been known to make millitary soldiers cry. I like it though so I use extra lol.

So I wrote this, I figured that I might as well put my crabby mood to good use. I don't really like this, it's nothing special.Autum leaves are starting to fall,In their hues of reds, oranges, and golds,Like the tears upon my cheeks.The temprature's starting to fall,Just like the coldness of your heart.The sky isn't blue anymore,Because when you left,My colors faded to gray.And soon, the days will get shorter,Just like my patience.And the days will get colder,Just like the hearts of everyone else.And the truth is,I don't miss him.I miss who I thought he was.I miss the honesty,In all his lies.But things do get better,Eventually, fall must lead to winter,But, winter does lead to spring,Hardships only make the good things better,But it's the good things,Only make those hardships worse.

I personally think you should tell her. BUT hope for the best, and prepare for the worste.And no, I'm a girl and I practically sms in my sleep. I can do it without looking. I've nearly worn the keypad on my phone out. lol.Also some other things to consider are, would you be ready for the post breakup drama? Me and one of my best friends kinda sorta went out for a while and we didn't talk to eachother for a long time after we ended it. It can make things REALLY akward.Go for it, but be ready.

I get it but I don't. Obviously I'm not good enough for a guy who isn't a worthless piece of crap.Every guy I've ever gone out with was nice to me at first but towards the end of the relationship they completely freaked over something small or one of my flaws that I can't help.I don't think I'm just drop dead goregeous, but I don't think I'm hideous either. I have blonde hair, and greenish amber eyes.I'm 5'7 and I weigh 150 pounds. I'm not obese, but not skinny....just average.I'm involved in alot of things at my school. I compete in theatre events, I play tennis, I'm in the colorguard, I'm in the marching band (although I spin flags at football games instead of playing my saxophone), I sing, I dance, and I'm in uper level classes. I'm pretty well rounded because I know my stuff about football and other guy stuff like that. I hang out with friends whenever I can or have time to. I'm not shy, I will tell someone what I think reguardless of the situation or who it is, I like to debate, I'm pretty social, I have a pretty good sense of humour, the only time I'm ever online anymore is when I'm either grounded or at home late at night. I take good care of myself and I excersize ALOT. I also compete in persuasive speaking, oral interp prose, and other oral UIL events. I'm one of the smarter people in my class (GT PRE-AP). I'm not trampy, I don't let guys use me, and I don't party harty. Like I said acting is my greatest pashion, I have won awards for it. I love going and seeing broadway shows, and I love coffee. I dress stylishly, but I do like my gym shorts :)I guess I'm pretty much like any other girl out there. . . I'm not uncool, but I'm not the *BLEEP* popular girl who no one likes. I associate myself with all types of people (with the exception of stupid people and criminals) I'm open minded (for the most part) and I'm not very clingy.What am I doing wrong so I can shange it and make myself more appealing to the guys my age? (I'm 14.)

Okay so last night I had a dream about me and my best friend.It was about 1942.We were in Europe, and the holocaust was happening.My best friend's name is Jacob, and he is deaf. He was deaf in the dream.So anyway at the start of the dream, which was extremely vivid, we were sitting in this room. Jacob asked me to dance with him, and so I did. We heard a boom up the street, and we went outside to see what was up. We saw Nazis, and so we ran and hid. We were holding on to eachother for a while in this other room, and then they were closing in on is so we ran still holding eachother. Then this Nazi came up and ripped him out of my arms. He was scarred and yelling. I ran after him screaming and crying, until another Nazi campe up and held me back. I found out later in the dream that Jacob was deported to a death camp. I was crying and walking down the street when I ran into one of my friends. So I went and held onto her and started crying, and appearently I was crying in my sleep because I had dried tears all over my cheeks and stains on my pillow (when I woke up of course). Anyway so then alot of my friends started joining the resistance and stuff and a few of my friends who were Jewish in the dream (but not in real life) turned themselves in.If it makes a difference, I'm Polish but I have no idea what country we were in, Nazi flags where everywhere.What does this mean?

No, it was supposed to happen about 1000 years ago. And I want to see GOOD SIGNIFICANT proof of global warming. So what if I refuse to believe everything the government says?

Well what do you want us to do?Did you know that ethonal is actually worse for Global Warming then using coal or oil is? That's because it produces many more green house gasses then older fuels do.And I don't like wind farms, since they create this terrible air raid noise and it makes it hard to sleep, but the cruel irony to that is besides oil and coal it's one of the main power sources in Texas.And as for the wind farms, a family in a town about twenty minutes from here got one of the wind things and they actually sell electricity back to their electric company.Anyway, Texas's tempratures have been on the downfall since 2006 (we had a really bad drought when El Nino came in). And my aunt and uncle live in Seattle where it's humid and temprate year round and they got a blizard in the middle of june.And I'm not saying there isn't SOME degree of global warming, suuuuuure there might be a few increases in temprature, but COME ON! Quit acting like it's the end of the world!And I'm also tired of all this green bag nonsense. The other day at Super Walmart I was in line for about 30 minutes behind this lady who wanted her groceries bagged in her stupid green bags. I mean for God's sake the plastic bags have already been made so why not use them? It's assininity. And we even recycle the plastic bags and use them as garbage bags in the trashcans in our bathrooms and bed rooms.And SM, did you know the whole at the south pole's ozone layer is in the process of fixing itself? Look on the ozone density graphs and look at the difference between now and 2002.Besides, the earth's magnetic field is supposed to flip any time now. Shouldn't we be more worried about loosing our protection from the sun's radiation before we worry about the earth going up a few degrees?

Okay, I'm tired of all this nonsense about Global warming. Why you may ask? Because there is NO OVERWHELMING EVIDENCE THAT GLOBAL WARMING EXISTS. What you see is propoganda! And Al Gore is a hypocrite! In the past century, global tempratures have only increased by about one or two degrees. Yupp one or two. And anyway, did you know that the earth is actually on the tale end of an ice age? Yes. It is. So DUH there is going to be tempratures increasing.And honestly, do you think WE have any say in the earth's atmospheric conditions? Maybe a very very very small one. Actually all that heat you feel is an existance of smog and humidity, plus the Earth's weather patterns change in a cycle.I live in Texas, and it's AUGUST right now. Do you know how hot it's supposed to be here today (during the hear of the day)? About 90 degrees. And it's been like that for a while now. The temprature is usually in the tripple digits by now. Oh yeah, global warming.And have you noticed that there haven't been very many hurricanes? Atlantic Hurricanes start as thunderstorms in Africa that start spinnig after they cross the equator and/or prime merridian. But they NEED hot water in order to not disapate. And don't get me wrong, there have been a few tropical storms, but they weren't much more than thunderstorms. If a tropical storm can't even get enough hot water to turn into a level 1 hurricane, then why do you think we are all going to die because of a little heat?Seriously people, stop following what the media says. THINK FOR YOURSELFS! I mean, for God's sake you live in America! You don't have to follow everyone else.That's what I think.

Political correctness is byfar the dumbest thing ever.But there are things people need to follow:Women are just as capable as men and therefore deserve the same pay and oppourtunities in desk jobs (I'm not saying construction and stuff like that even though there are alot of women workers in places like Seattle)A wheelchair shouldn't matter, because now by law there has to be a handicapped entrance to buildings (at least in texas)Color shouldn't matterand after that I really don't give a damn. I'm Polish, and people call me a pollock all the time (for those of you who don't know what a pollock is, it's like the "n" word of Polish people.) and it doesn't bother me one bit.As for the snow white thing, it's stupid for the government to through a *BLEEP* fit over a child's movie. And if you elect more democrats to the house it's only going to get worse because they are the huge pollitical correctness junkies.And in response to the mother and Father in heaven, THERE IS NOT MOTHER IN HEAVEN. THERE IS ONLY ONE GOD!

Oh trust me, there's room for judging criteria.1. Diffaculty of the routine.2. Form breaks.3. Stepping out of rythym.4. Dropping your equipment.5. Not catching equipment at all or right. (BIG at colorguard competitions)6. Fundamental breaks.8. Loss of a buttcap (The caps at the end of the pole)9. How you end your routine.10. Jazz run technique.And there's a few more BIG things that escape me right now (It's only 8:15 in the morning.)And I want to see some of you guys jazz run as much as our highschool colorguard does and tell me it's not a sport. boy will your thighs be on fire :)Anyway as for the it's not challenging part, I know of people who can do a toss, flip, and catch the pole.And for God's sake, there's olympic ping pong. Ping pong is not a sport!

Ohhhh okay I have never been there. Bath and body works is more popular in this part of the country but the mall I was at two days ago had a body shop in there. And as for your comment^^^^^ I couldn't agree more. I used to think I was ugly, because I didn't have platinum blonde hair, bright blue eyes, and bee stung lips. Now I realise that my color is balanced. I have relitivily dark skin for a white girl (yay Poland! ) so bleach blonde hair would look rediculous on me. And then I realized that I have nice amber and green eyes (which is one of the more rare colors) and so my coloring is balanced to suit me and that's okay. And now I realize that I would look absolutly stupid with pouty beestung lips, as I have a big forehead and so it would be too much large stuff. Hahaa. I look at my proportions now and I find they are quite desirable, I have big eyes hahahaa. But as for the TBS doesn't test on animals thing, just because they don't test the finished product on animals doesn't mean the don't test parts of the product on animals. Anyway, you should feel beautiful without makeup.

For those of you who don't know what colorguard is, it's where you spin, toss, march and dance with different objects, such as mirrors, flags, rifles, butterfly wings, swing flags, sabors, airblades, streamers, and many many other objects while the band plays. We spin at football games, pep rallies, basket ball games ect.Now, if there are olympic sports such as ping pong and bad mitton, isn't there room for colorguard or winterguard?(Winterguard is mostly dance and it's inside.)ANYWAY if you think about it, it's not much different from floor excersize in gymnastics (except you're not flying through the air.) And there is potential for injury so it makes it interesting. And you can mess up. It's just a thought. What do you think?

I think TBS must be a Europe only thing, because I live in the USA and have never heard of it.As for the whole hiding behind makeup thing, I have a splotch where I put a little too much sunscreen on when I was at band camp (yeah, band camp. Bring on the band camp jokes lol.) and it's really obvious so untill it goes away I just dab on a little foundation and I'm good to go.I'm only 14 so I don't go crazy with the makeup during school hours but when I go to night parties it's a different story and of course colorguard makeup is completely rediculous :)My school makeup routine is this:concealor and foundation (but only if needed)Gold eye shadowGold eyeliner on my top lid.Brown on bottom.Clear (no color) mascara.Blush.Chapstick.And that's it. It's really not much after I get it all on. . .

There are a bunch of great recipes on the internet. . .just don't go with the petrolium jelly and Kool-Aid ones. . .go with the beeswax and shea butter with essential oils. . . . they are much better for your skin. As for what anwiii said, yes woman should always feel good about who they are but what's wrong with having fun with makeup? lol.

Thanks for the additions bluebear :PAs for the lip thing, I don't even buy lip gloss I just make my own so I know EXACTLY what's in it. And of course I can make it taste and smell yummy

AHHAHAHAHAHAHAAHHAHAHAHHAHAAHAA your wife attempted to paint you nails? What the hell is wrong with her?!?!?!?!?!?!!?! I can't immagine why she'd think that would make you more attractive. . . it would actually make you seem like a complete fruit cake. . .lol. As for you other comment, if your wife is just caking on the makeup then she SERIOUSLY needs help with makeup. . .it should be used to bring out your best features, not make you look like a clown. Lol. But seriously dude I feel really bad for you.

So yeah, over the past few months I became extremely girly and stuff. So I accumulated tips from professionals, friends, sites, and bluebear and tried them all out and me and my friends. Here are some basic rules. 1. Don't EVER share liquid makeup (unless you want to get sick- sharing liquid makeup is like sharing a toothbrush.) 2. Don't EVER share brushes. This is disgusting and will make you sick if you're not carefull. If you plan sharing stuff like dry eyeshadow, please please PLEASE use disposable brushes. 3. Makeup should look natural. Not like a parrot exploded on your face. 4. If you get real fancy with your eyes, don't over do your lips. And vice versa. 5. Makeup should only be applied to a fresh, clean, moisterised face. 6. Always take your makeup off at the end of the day (sooner if possible.) 7. Certain colors look good on certain people. Here are my findings on what looks best. First I'll start off with concealer, foundation and blush. I've found that my makeup looks better if I apply these last, because I'm prone to goof my eye makeup up and so I just cover up and mess-ups instead of either taking all the facial makeup of and starting over or just letting the world see my mistakes. Here's my number one rule with foundation and concealer- a little goes a VERY long way. I only use concealer on HUGE zits, I don't even use it on my beauty marks because they make me sexy lol of course I was blessed with good skin so I rarely have to but out the concealer. As for foundation my skin isn't perfect so I do have the occasional splotch. This is the only place where you should apply foundation (and blend it in with the skin around it of course.) That is why it's important to have a foundation that is the same color as your face, so thatway you're not even splotchier after you attempt to fix an un even tan. Use a sponge for foundation, so it won't go everywhere. Suck in your cheeks and make a fishy-face. You should now be able to see the apples of your cheeks really well. You should lightly apply your blush here. Don't use a shade that is far away from your natural blush, and of course, blend blend blend! We are not living in the 80's! You makeup should look natural. Not streaky. Now for lips: If you plan on getting real fancy with your eyes, keep the lips simple. I'm not too fond of the SHAZAM! lips. Especially not with the SHAZAM eye look. Don't use lip liner unless your lips are un even and you want to fix that and make it more even. If you do use lip liner, be sure to match and blend your lip color to the liner. Glosses are my favorite, however if you plan on kissing someone, I would step away from the gloss. Most guys don't like the way lip gloss feels, because it's all goey. (Of course if you plan on a makeout session, the gloss won't last long anyway.) Go for a chap stick instead. For day use, I would suggest more natural colors. (but for night use go ahead and use that blood red lipstick.) One solution for finding the right shade for you is to make your own (wich is what I try to do in most cases) and is great because you know EXACTLY what's inside of it. Shimmers are appropriate for anyone (almost) for any time of day (depending on the color and ammount of sparkle. For people my age (highschool) I think peach shimmers are wonderfull (for light skinned people) and carmels and chocolates are great for darker skinned people. But what is the most important thing about lips? KEEP THEM HYDRATED. That's right. Because that amazing shade of Bobbi Brown lip stick/gloss/balm isn't going to be worth the money you spent on it if your lips are dry and cracked. If possible, sleep with chapstick on. And for my favorite part (drum roll please) the eyes! Yes, my absolute favorite part! The eyes are the windows to the soul. . .so let's make them pretty! Lol. Eyes come in more shades then you think. Sure there are the classic blue, green, brown and hazel. But did you know they come in violet, amber, grey, yellow, red (olcular albinism), turquiose, kahki, olive, black, and many many more. Some are so light that they're almost white, and some are so dark that you can barely distinguish the pupil from the iris. Some are opaque and some are transparent. And all are beautifull. While we might fit into a certain catagory, our eyes are unique to us. My eyes are orange on the inside and they have a ring of green on the outside. But they also change colors alot. Eye color depends on the amount of melanin present at the front of the iris, along with other pigments. Blue eyes are actually yellow, but the collogen present in them reflects a blue light. That is why lots of times blue eyes have specks of yellow in them, they are spots where there isn't collogen. Green eyes have more melanin then blue eyes, but less then brown eyes. Amber eyes have the pigment lipochrome in them. Red eyes have no pigment at all and are only seen in people who suffer albinism. I'm not too sure what causes violet eyes (think elizabeth taylor.) Anyway now that we've covered eye color, it's time to pull out our handy dandy color wheel. http://www.realcolorwheel.com/404.htm This is going to be your most helpfull tool with eye color. Find the shade that matches your color the most. Then find the opposite shade. That is most likely going to be you best color. Blue eyes- You are the lucky ones in my opinion. In many places where I live, blue eyes are coveted. Blue eyes look very nice with peach eye shadows, or with brown or black eyeliner. However, if someone with blue eyes chooses they eyeliner route, try to keep the eye shadow as natural of a shade as possible. Dark colors make light colors pop. Green eyes- Purples or burgendy's are your friend (but not at the same time). Gold is also a good color. And so are any earth tones. Of course, you can never go wrong with natural colored eye shadow, black eye liner and mascara. Brown eyes- These are the lucky ladies because they can pull of ALMOST any shade of eye makeup. Now I think brown eyed women who go around with blue eyeshadow (really BRIGHT blue eyeshadow that is) look rediculous. But I love greens, pinks, golds, browns, charcols and subtle navys on this eye color. . . just remember a little goes a long way. . . a VERY long way. Hazel eyes- Since this color can cover a very broad range of colors, you can pull of virtually any color that's not completely rediculous (that means not hot pinks or lime greens.) but you can pull off ALOT. Amber- Golds, purples, blues, browns, greens, pinks, and blacks are the best. Just remember you need to keep it subtle with this eye color. Violet and grey- Follow blue eyes.

No you're not retarded.We all have visions and things like that from time to time.Hell, you could put your local meteorology station out of business :)Or open up a psycic hotline

I don't like mmorpgs. . . or any video game for that matter (with the exception of rockband and wii tennis.)Anyway might I point out to you that this is in the wrong section? There is a section farther down the page that is for games and gamers and stupid stuff like that.
