Well our teachers could not care less. As long as we do not do anything to disturb other students we can do whatever we want... we are kind of there because we want to so they expect us to pay attention. I use Facebook and MSN all the time - but I still work. Without Internet we would probably not use computers at our school. The school administrator can not block my computer, so that is too bad for him. (Haha, wonder how I did that?)Sure it must be useful for schools that do not allow this, but if I was a teacher I would rather let the students do something and shut up than starting talking and disturbing the other students. We were not allowed to go at other websites when I was younger, but I have never understood why. Probably because we sometimes do not "care" or know what consequences it can have if we do everything else than school work at school... slightly older now. Just slightly.

Probably none of them. I find myself in the "Looking for a coder"-group - so obviously I am not one of them. I am even further away from being a programmer. I admire people that are able to do things like this. People that go to school to learn it or/and learn it by themselves. It would never fit me.

May I ask a question? Probably not, but I will do it anyway. Why is that that the more credits we have the less we get per post? I have never understood that part. If a person manages to create a topic that gets a lot of replies and starts a discussion that it good. Good idea. But the amount of credits should also be based on how good the replies are? Many topics have hundreds of posts. For example "What is your favourite colour" would probably get a lot of short replies, and the answers would not probably be very good. And no, I have no new ideas.

Things I do when I am bored This always depends on were I am and who is home and not. I can not exactly do all of these things if my house is full of my brothers friends. 1. Go shopping. It is slightly overrated but it is fun if you have enough time and money in your wallet. For some reason I do not find as many nice things when I am shopping with friends, but when I am alone it is better. When I shop with friends that is mostly because we need something to do - not because we need new things. 2. Buy and read magazines. ...or you could find some free ones. I love those about clothes, make-up and accessories. They give me a lot of idea for the shopping, haha. (I doubt boys would like that.) If you are more of a reader then buying one of the "smarter" magazines is better. 3. Go outside. For a walk, on the football field, in the woods or just right outside your home. 4. Do something creative. Create a collage of your favourite photos, make something on Photoshop, take pictures outside/inside... a lot of options. 5. Hang out with friends. I am bored, my friends are bored. When we hang it gets a little bit less boring. Still boring - but it works. 6. Play a game. It could be a board game or perhaps on the computer. Of course on game consoles too. If I could choose I would go outside and play a completely childish game with my childish friends. 7. Put on your favourite music and dance around. Yup. Works for me. 8. Climb up on the roof. Have no idea why. It just seems fun. 9. YouTube Watch a funny show or of course other videos. Create your own and have fun. 10. Create a list about things you can do if you are bored. I am still bored. But less bored.

Yes, but still I think TBS is better than some other companies. They do a lot of fair trade things so that is good. L'Oreal owns TBS, and I hate that! L'Oreal is not exactly know for being very animal friendly. They still have many good products and even though they are not as good as before regarding etic, they are a lot better than some other companies. So I will stick with them. The only thing is that they are (again) a bit expensive. It is not something I can buy a lot of. When someone stick a sticker on a product that says "Not tested on animals" or "Against animal testing", that should and is in some cases true. Again the business is kind of... weird. Many companies is owned by L'Oreal, and if not they are probably owned by some other big... thing. It is bad though.

(Sorry about two posts in a row.) Even though I got zero response on the previous version, I made a new one! This one is wider, and I have checked the height and width. I have also checked that there is no unnecessary space between graphics that is supposed to have the same space. I have tried to fix the girls hair, so now she kind of blends into the "fog." I have also edited/changed some of the brushes on the header; added some, removed some as well as editing the opacity. Maybe it is not so noticeable but I really did! Now I really want/need some ideas or responses. Good or bad. V3: http://i33.tinypic.com/33w9jjr.png

You are way too clever rvalkass... it should not be legal. Yes, it seems like we have to pay to receive calls from other countries. Another thing is that other people are having problems calling us because this "person" sometimes calls so much. But thank you for the information, I really have no idea. But knowing that it is probably not an actual person makes me feel slightly more safe. I get scared about nothing.

^^ You have TBS in USA too. TBS= The Body Shop. Does it ring a bell? In all sports I have done make-up is not a part of it. When I played football, (US soccer) the clouds always decided to throw some rain at me causing that some players looked like pandas. I always wear waterproof black mascara - as I just live in that part of the country. Just because someone mentioned make-up companies; many of them cheat. As in fake commercials. There should seriously be some kind of group that make sure what they say is true and the pictures they are using are not some extreme Photoshop work that will make every girl in the country look at themselves and think that they should have that nice skin, such voluminous lashes or a pair of nice huge lips. Unfortunately the business is just full of crap.

Of course US is dominating... I have never heard of Colour guard, and I still have almost no idea what it is. It is just like we have no cheerleading here. Strange... Oh well, I do not miss it. We have some "sports" that you have probably never tried or maybe even not heard about. There are some sports that are very hard to judge in. It may not be anything very specific to judge; technique, style and other stuff. Haha, this was probably not the right topic for me to reply to as colourguard is unknown to me.

The truth is that many girls/women do not feel beautiful without make-up. In some cases they are beautiful with or without. I never leave the house without my basic make-up; mineral foundation and mascara. Why? Well it looks better. I am not hiding how I look but making my skin smoothing and my eyes stand out slightly. As for the "make it yourself" thingy and the shea butter TBS have a lot of products with it. Their products is kind of expensive, but whenever I get rich I am going to buy the whole freaking store. I know that TBS Shea Body Butter and Shea Lip Body Butter contain (obviously) shea butter but also beeswax. They do seriously have a lot of amazing products, so if you have never been there you should!

Anyone that have any experiences with this? And no, it is not like those times when I was younger and my friends got mad at me and decided to use about 2000 of the 5000 free SMS's a month at me. (Not fun.) These "people" call every night after midnight. At least I think so - I am not home all the time so I have no idea. It is not a Norwegian number. It is a very long number that is definitely longer than any one I know. It starts with 0200, 0240 or 0204. Something like that. When I pick up the phone and say hello, no one answers. All I hear is this beeping sound. "Beep. Beep. Beep." Three times. When I hung up they call again, and again and again.If I do not hung up, they do after some seconds. The stupid thing is that I have to pay for this, and this sure is not cheap! I have watched too many horror movies for this. I get scared so easy, so I hate this. My siblings always wakes up and go crazy, and then we just shut off all the phones and pull out all the plugs. I am so scared that I even shut off my own cellphone. How do I explain this? It is annoying, scaring and just very weird! Do people just sit around the world and call random people? They call us over and over again? Why?!Anyone that have any experiences?

Mail? Do all my online shopping count? I receive everything from 1-4 packages a month, it really depends if I went crazy or what. Besides from that I get my credit card printout (not a bill) and also some letters from friends that moved far far away. I mostly talk to my friends on MSN, but from time to time it is fun to send a letter or two. I never get any bills. (Mhm, wonder why. )So yes I definitely receive and send mail.

Yes, so it is just a picture of it. I am really bad at knowing the differences between design and template. I can try to lighten the top image. The problem is again that the girl hair was so hard to edit when I was deleting the background... therefore if I make the image lighter that difference will be more note cable. "Menu in different areas"? What should it be in one are then? Haha, I have no idea. It is kind of to create a line where one category ends, and another starts... well I can try that too, right? Taking your opinions in careful consideration: (Yes, just a picture this one too!) http://tinypic.com/images/404.gif

Yes, it will be expandable. (Not in width.) So in reality the design will be longer than you can see on the picture - it is just to give an idea. I do not really need expandable width, but maybe I will think of making the content section wider. Thanks for the idea. I will not make the background all black. You can see it in the picture, you know!

Nice to meet you Nasir aka nasiransari. Welcome to Xisto! How are you? All new members should always make sure to know the do's and don'ts of the forum. You can do this by reading the Xisto READ ME. You will find a lot of useful information there such as forum rules, hosting info and a lot of other things. If you have any questions always make sure to check the READ ME first, and after that you can ask whoever you want. Members are often helpful and many of them know a lot. (Too much sometimes!) You can read closely about the hosting in the READ ME. The main thing about it is that you need to contribute to the forum by posting good quality posts. For every post you make you get credits - but the amount you get depends on the size and quality and also where you post it. The number of posts you make do not matter at all. The basic package "costs" 10 credits, and the bigger one 30 credits. Please be very careful about one-liners as they are considered as spam. We do not like spam, do we? Greetings from Bluebear. And good luck!

Trust me, I will keep posting even though some people decide that I am wrong. Commenting is kind of a part of the experience for me... you get some new friends and some other things. When someone do something I think is wrong I always try to convince them about something else - in a good way though. It is just very annoying when you say a line or two and you drown in comments about what you said. Sometimes it is fun because some people actually get my point.

I do not really like shiny lips, but I love when whatever I put on them smells and tastes great! Coconut, strawberry... I wonder how you make your own? I really like those from TBS, though I have never checked if the ingredients are okay. Sometimes I just can not help myself... TBS does not test on animals so that is great. So many companies do that.

Yeah, I think it was something about the judges did a mistake. I did not watch it either, so I have no idea. I am sure it is even more horrible when you know you should have went to the final - but the judges did a wrong decision. Wrong decisions happens all the time in sports, so it is nothing new. Yet I think the judges should think twice and make sure that the decision is correct when it is a very crucial one.

Look at the gap. China will win that "race." What more can I say about this? Not much. I am waiting for the Winter Olympics so... well.

Well I really need some views about this design or template. I am hoping that I will make the four little icons as avatars for some sites - so they will change from time to time. Therefore they are not really a part of the design. I struggled so much with the girls (Siri) hair because it was so big and also a part of her head was not on the original image. The background is so strong and takes a lot of "space" so I really can not do to much to the rest of it. The finishing result would just look too cluttered and overdone. (I have forgotten to add a text effect some places.) I am really not good at these things so all opinions will be taken in consideration... I like criticism so please just share it. http://i33.tinypic.com/fm3m38.png

Welcome to the community Marvin aka merkurius! I think it is weird no one has written a reply to you yet, maybe they are slightly afraid? Well I am not, so welcome! Always great to meet new members. Xisto is great. The hosting is wonderful - and so is the members. I am sure you will feel welcomed. We have people from all around the world here, (this is something I find very interesting) and also just a lot of different people. We are not all the same, but there are someone here probably kind of like you. Please stop me if I write too much, I often do that... anyway take a good look at the Xisto Read Me. It is important to get familiarized with the forum so you know the do's and don'ts. If you have any questions that you can not find an answer too - just ask any of us! Most of us are kind of nice. I normally write something about the hosting, but you can find that in the Read Me. The main thing is that you need credits - and you get them through posting good quality posts around the forum. Please try to avoid many one-liners because they are considered as spam. Good luck.

Haha, you guys know how Scandinavians behave. :)Well it is his medal so in my eyes he can do whatever he want to do with it. I would be very disappointed, and he sure was! Even though he managed to get so far and actually get a medal it must be slightly sad to see the silver and gold right in front of his eyes... I have played a lot of sports and sometimes we could get kind of sad, mad and angry at ourselves. But he did this in a so horrible way! For all I care he could have went home to Sweden and throw it in the trash or the ocean. When someone handles a situation like this it just get worse. He could have did this in a less ungrateful way. After all it is his fault that he did not manage to go even further. The others are just better, and he just can not accept that. Even though he makes a huge deal out if this that is not going to help him at all.

Very, very annoying. I am happy YouTube user - I probably spend some hours there every week. I mostly look and listen to music but I also watch different shows. I always try to comment on videos, if I like the videos or not. So many users seem to have a motto that says "Don't like, don't watch." Well I have to watch it to know if I like it or not, right?! And that is not even the worst part. It is almost like some people think you should only comment if you like it, and if you have something else to say about it then you should glue your fingers together with glue, (or super glue) just to make sure you will not write anything. That is how I feel. Have anyone ever tried to comment to videos that are created for/about/with superstars that have a massive fan club? A massive, completely crazy fan club that mostly contains girls? If you think you will might think of some bands, persons and even shows that have this. Girls that scream, go crazy and say that "I love him, I love her, I love everything they/she/he do. I pretend like I am the only person in this world that loves him/she, I am a huge drama queen that expect everyone else to respect my opinions, but I will not respect theirs!" Because that is how many of them behave. You write something you think, and it is not very rude or anything like that. "I do not really like him/her, I suppose I do not like this kind of music." And what happens? Well, you get plenty replies and everyone rates you bad. They tell you that you have no life, that you should go somewhere else to be negative and that you suck. When I say "you" I mean "me." Because this is something that happens to me probably several times a week, and sometimes several times a day. I never say I hate anyone. You can not hate someone you do not know, but you can not love them either. Some of these people are so messed up that they think they can love her/him/they, but they say I can not hate them? No, I never hate anyone I do not know. I can hate the music, their clothes, the way they behave and things like that; but I can not say I hate the person as a person. How can I? You see this is what many of them do not understand. Some of them are great and do, but many do not. I can get very angry sometimes when someone get pissed at me just because I am sharing my opinions and views on things. Sure this happens other places too, but recently I have noticed this very much on YouTube. Don't like, don't look. Place, it does not work that way darling.

Well the skin does not absorb vaseline, so it just creates this film over your lips. I use it as an eye make-up remover, though I always make sure to remove all of it and clean my skin afterwords. I used to use it as a lip softener when I was a lot younger, until someone told me what it can cause.The beauty industry use a lot of bad ingredients, so finding one that works can be hard. I have some friends that struggled with this, but then they tried Decleor's Lip Balm. (Aromessence Lip Balm) Yes it is expensive (at least here...), but it is really good and last a long time. Besides from that there are plenty of organic products that do not contain a lot of weird stuff, though some of them just will not work. Search the web for some reviews and that will help you. I believe Decleor's lip balm is 100% natural, and it works for so many people. Of course there are always some that can not notice a difference - but everyone is different so you have to try to find out what works best for you.
