Voting Question: more of a rhetorical question?

asically i'll tell you some things about me: i'm half italian i lived in america until i was 11 and i moved to london. i came to britain every 6-12 months as my mum's british, and i was born in london i'm fluent in french english and italian. i'm achieving a-a*s in my exams i'm pretty popular at school. i've only had two serious boyfriends and i'm 16. i'm a virgin the reason i split up with my first serious boyfriend is because i wasn't ready for sex the reason i split up with my last boyfriend is because he thought i was too close to this other guy... and he was kinda right. i'm from a middle-class background. i enjoy indie music, fashion and art more than anything. i like to write stories and talk... a lot! i love making new friends. usually my friendships are short but sweet though.... basically i have known 'this guy' (so cliche!) since i was a baby. he is two years older than me, his mum and my mum have always been very good friends. i remember when my parents were arguing me and him ran away together to the beach with loads of chocolate his dad's beer and a tent (we were 12). i know about the beer thing lol... alcohol was completely new to us and i hated it but i'll never forget that night... despite being drink on like half a can of beer haha :) anyway... i was 12. i was infatuated with him, and his sister always said "i think he loves you" when we were kids cos he got kinda shy when he was near me. he was always kinda a bad boy though and that's what made me feel special. that night on the beach, it was real cold and the tent broke so it was just us once we drank the beer and ate the choc. i remember him giving me my jacket and hugging me the whole night. we're both quite short. i'm 5 ft 3 and he's 5 ft 8. that's when i had my first kiss :) even though this was october time, we stayed out the whole night because no matter how much warmth was back at home it tore me apart watching me parents be angry at eachother. i had all the warmth i needed. we came back and everyone was worried. from that night they said it was best for us not to see eachother again... like we were a bad influence on eachother. i think everyone knew how we felt though. then soonafter my dad went off with his mom... and we moved away, and my mom got re-married last year. now we live closer to the sea. when i see my dad he's there at his house. we talk all night and he took me out with his friends and they all flirted with me (the guys anyway lol) and he didn't like that, so whenever i go over we just walk around town and we spend most of the time laughing our heads off, or going to a gig ... or just watching movies, i look forward to it all the time. it's always the first weekend of the month though, so it isn't all that often. he had a hard time of it. when his parents split up he started going out and smoking weed and drinking... god knows what else. but he has these really interesting thoughts he said were because of the stuff he's experimented with and he said i'm the only one he can talk to about it cos i'm intelligent hehe :) bless him... but this last weekend he seemed really off with me. he's never told me about having a girlfriend before but i've told him about my boyfriend because i felt no need to keep it from him.. plus he's added to my facebook etc. but this weekend he left me in the house for the first time ever to go out with this girl. i asked him why he left me and he said he was out with her... and that he had enough of waiting ? what could that mean? .. i just can't stop thinking about it, i have to face the fact am in love with him. we have everything in common, we like and dislike the same things, even the littlest of things and he's by far the best looking guy i have ever seen. he's the one person that will put a smile on my face. i remember when we were sitting on a van (don't ask) watching the sunset, in eachother's arms, and he pointed to a hot air balloon in the sky, i had my eyes closed listening to his heart beat as he stroked my hair, he said imagine we're in that, we're alone, nothing to bother us, that balloon taking us anywhere, anywhere. i remember exactly. the one thing that is holding me back is the fact we're like half brother and sister now (just want to clarify not blood related in ANY WAY!) what do i do, any help? and thanks... xx more

Voting Question: Meaningful Dream Needs Interpreting?

Last night I dreamed and for some reason there was a part in the dream that seemed to have more meaning to me then the rest. I woke up in the dream, I was on the beach, the sand was wet everywhere on the beach like it just rained. I think I was homeless because I had a tent next to me but i preferred to sleep on the sand. The water was extra calm and it was red because the sky was red and orange, the sun was red as well, I was not sure if it was a sunrise or a sunset. I began to run down the beach, not caring where i went or where i would end up. I didnt ever want to stop running and running made me happy, so did the sky because it was so beautiful. I actually have looked up each thing in my dream individually, but all of it together is more of the explanation im looking for. When I woke up i told myself immediately that i should pay attention because it meant something to me.I can not stress that I was happy, at peace like the symbolization around me signified what I wanted but when I woke up it was like a puzzle that I need to put together. more

Resolved Question: Has the Democrats in Congress got the message from the landslide VICTORY in Massachusetts with Scott Brown?

Chaffetz annoyed little has changed in House after Brown's win By Tony Romm - 01/20/10 03:45 PM ET Little has changed in the House following Massachusetts Republican Scott Brown's election to the U.S. Senate, Rep. Jason Chaffetz (R-Utah) lamented on Wednesday. After a bill that would designate a property in the Virgin Islands part of the National Park System passed the House without a single Republican vote, the congressman questioned whether Democrats had learned anything from Tuesday's election. He aired his objections in a pair of tweets Wednesday afternoon: Have things changed in the House? NO. H.R. 3723. 241 Dems and 0 Rep vote yea. Spends $40 mil to acquire beach front property in Virgin Islands. Seriously. We are $12 Tril in debt and they buy beaches Interestingly enough, that's a far less optimistic perspective than Chaffetz had hours earlier. In another pair of tweets, he seemed hopeful Democrats would be willing to work more closely with his party on issues like healthcare reform: 7:00am saw a Dem friend. First thing he wanted to know if I would work with him on a modified health care bill Hmm. That hadn't happened before the Brown victory. Of course we should work together. Looking forward to it. http://thehill.com/blogs/twitter-room/other-news/77131-chaffetz-annoyed-little-has-changed-in-house-after-browns-win Obviously NOT, tax and spend tax and spend, same old garbage from the dimwitted Democrats, will they all run to the Virgin Islands and set up tents when they are FIRED from their jobs in November? more

Resolved Question: Cape Verde or Israel?

I'm thinking of taking a 3 week holiday the last few weeks of March and was thinking of Cape Verde Islands or Israel. Are either of these two destinations good place to visit weather wise at this time? I was thinking of getting flights only for Cape Verde and doing a mix of backpacking, car hire and also traditional holiday stuff as well staying in hotels some nights on the beach and chilling. I was planning on hopping around a whole bunch of the islands and exploring, possible also taking tent with me... but I've heard that the Atlantic wind can be quite strong and I'm not sure on the camping rules there? Any advice from people who have been to Cape Verde, national, or Cape Verdean or Brits who have lived or do live there would be very much appreciated. I wanted to opt for Cape Verde because it seems a lot less spoilt than the Canaries and there's more of them do with a wide range of scenery and culture. As for Israel, getting there's not the problem I believe accommodation can be quite expensive? Any advice on cheaper priced accommodation would be great. I was probably looking at Tel Aviv as the base, maybe Eilat, and then doing a few excursion to Jerusalem, The Dead Sea and other historic and holy sites etc. Thanks for any recommendation, advice, and sharing any of your experiences in these countries. Thanks very much, John more

Resolved Question: Where can I find a campsite near Suffolk with sandy beaches nearby?

I'm looking for a campsite (not too quiet-suitable for big families) that is not too expensive and about a couple of hours drive from Suffolk. Our only request is that there is a sandy beach in walking distance-not stony but all we seem to find near Suffolk is stony beaches. Please can anyone suggest anywhere i can find a campsite by a sandy beach? It would be nice if there was a pool etc but we're not fussy. Tents pitches required as we don't have a caravan. Our tent is quite big so it might have to have jumbo pitches! We don't want electricity sockets or anything as it takes away the spirit of camping! So: - nothing high tech -sandy beaches -tent pitches -couple of hours from Suffolk anywhere that fits our requirements? more

Resolved Question: Bored of married life...?

It's not that I don't love my wife and son; it is that every day is the same thing... We have no friends here, we can never think of anything fun to do which will entertain us and our 20 month old son, we are both becoming more and more miserable with each others company and our son is at that bloody annoying tantrum chucking age where every response from him is "NO *fall to ground and scream*". We end up going to the shopping center, because we can't think of anything else to do, getting into a fight because I hate shopping malls, people and spending money on crap, then coming home unsatisfied and bored. I suggest things like going to the pool or the beach, buying a tent and going camping... just to get away from this house and doing something out there and a little more exciting than pushing a pram around a crowded shopping center. On top of that, as selfish as this may sound, but so what... even though I am married with kids, doesn't mean my life is over right? I had dreams, visions and plans for the future before marriage and now as I stare out my kitchen window, bottle scrubber in one hand, baby bottle in the other, I feel those dreams diminishing and fizzling out. The common response I get from my wife is "Well you should have thought about that before marrying me...". Sorry Godzilla, I didn't know marriage was a life sentence. What do other married couples do with young kids that keeps them happy, what are some things we can do as a family to spice up our lives, remembering I have a 20 month old son who loses interest in everything after 2 seconds..... Don't wanna know about spicing up my sex life, that boat has sailed. Thanks, AshMy limitations are my wifes interests.... no longer am I trying to entertain myself, but her and a kid as well. She doesn't enjoy anything. Can't goto the beach, she hates the sand. Can't goto the pool, shes self conscious, can't go camping, she doesn't like the idea... etc... shes a real fun nazi.Like I said, I still love my wife and my son. I wouldn't cheat, I wouldn't leave them. I am in the navy and have been posted away from our hometown where all our friends are.... we don't know anyone here. more

Resolved Question: Sleeping on the beach in Hawaii?

My husband and I got buddy passes to Hawaii about 6 months ago from one of my husbands friends. Since then I have lost my job and we are running really low on cash. We considered canceling, however we know that if we don't go then we will never get the opportunity to go back. So, to get to my question. One of my husbands friends suggested that we go and just sleep on the beach in a tent. Is that crazy? Does anyone out there done this before? If so any input would be extremely helpful. Thanks in advance!Alright, so after everyone's input of thinking that we are crazy we have decided to stay away from sleeping on the beach and I am now looking into staying at a hostel. I am especially interested in the Banana Beach Hostel in Maui. Has anyone stayed there, or have any input regarding hostels.

Resolved Question: Disney Spring Break Vacation Itinerary help?

Hello there. My husband and I were trying to figure out a great family vacation during the kid’s spring break from school. Spring break is from March 29-April 2. The kids ages are 16 and 17, so we want to do something that will keep them from being bored, as you know how easily teenagers get bored now-a-days! here's the problems that occurred: 1) I have to work on Monday the 29. (can’t get it off!) 2) We want to be home by Easter Sunday (to go to church). 3) we are on a budget. Since our family loves to camp and we love Disney World. We have 5-day Disney hoppers (no expiration), we decided it would be fun to go camping at Disney's Fort Wilderness Lodge! We have been to the Disney parks several times before, so we know the drill of everything and how tired we will be! We haven’t however, been to Disney Quest or Blizzard Beach in many years, so my husband will be paying for tickets for us to enjoy those activities once again. Here is our itinerary for the week: I know it is a very busy schedule, but we will be able to sleep in (and relax) on Easter Sunday before and after church. Please tell me your opinion and how it should be better arranged. Also, please do not list other restaurant options. We as a family agreed upon these restaurants as our favorites- or ones we would like to visit together. I would like more rest time or "camping" time to spend just on the campsite and not just be there to sleep. If anyone know of a way to arrange this schedule to fit everything in and still have a day of "camping" PLEASE let me know. I would be very much grateful.

Resolved Question: HELP!! STRANGE PHENOMENON!! NEED ANSWERS!!! HELP!!?

I am not making any of this up. I need help! Please read the whole thing! HELP! Okay. It all started when me and three friends and our parents went camping at the Michigan Chain Lakes park this summer. It was really hot and humid. We were staying there for a week. On the 4th night it was after dark and we were sleeping in the tent. It was so hot that I couldn't sleep. I kicked out of my sleeping bag and walked away from our campsite, heading towards the beach. I know i wasn't dreaming because the trail to the beach goes through the woods and I was getting bit by mosquitoes and stepping on rocks. When I got to the beach, I saw him. There was a tiny fire built close to the tree line, and around it were four freshly-cut logs. Sitting on one log was a man. He had perfect golden hair that was past his shoulders, his face was handsome, and he was above all sexy. But that wasn't what stopped me. Growing out of the small of his back here nine golden fox tails. I saw the tails and almost pissed myself. I turned to run, but he said (in a voice that was oh-so-seductive) "Why are you leaving so soon? Come sit by my fire, MJ." I didn't want to move but my legs walked over to him on their own and sat me down on a log. I looked at his face and suddenly it felt like I had met him before. I knew his face, and it scared me. His eyes were a light brown or amber. He said, "Why do you fear me?" I said, "I don't know who you are, it feels like we've met, and you have tails." He laughed and I blushed and told him not to laugh. I asked him his name and he said, "I have many names. Kitsune is the one I go by the most, though. Some call me Youko, some call me Dennis, and some call me Kyuubi." I said no, that Kyuubi was from the show naruto and that I was dreaming and he said that Kyuubi was the original name for the Nine-Tailed demon worshipped in northern Japan. I told him I wanted to leave and he said no. I sat quietly for about 30 seconds and then I said, "are you going to kill me?" He laughed again and motioned with his hand for me to come to him. Once again my legs moved on their own and I knelt right in front of him. Then, he took my afce in his ahnds and kissed me. I don't remember how long it was, but I do remember feeling like I've kissed him before, and feeling like I never wanted him to let go. After we were done he knelt behind me, his chest against my back, and at first I thought he was going to rape me. But then he reached beneath my arms and took my hands, and his tails curled around us. I started to get really scared. Then, he hummed, and my whole body started tingling. This went on for about 5 minutes. Then he said something that sounded like GRRROWLEEHISS!! And everything went black. When I woke up a DNR officer was shining a light in my eyes and asked me how I got here. My throat burned so I could barely speak. I tried to tell her about the man but she said, "Have you done any drugs? Were there others out here?" I told her no and said that I was just a sleep walker and probably wandered from my tent last night, but she still took me to the main office and made me take a urine test. I didn't tell anyone about Kitsune. But every night after that I dreamt of him. He was either saving me, seducing me, or just walking towards me. I would wake up crying most of the time. Then, about two days ago, I was just getting home and I saw him standing int eh front yard in the snow. He motioned for me to come to him and instead of walking I ran and jumped into his arms. Uncuntrolably I kissed him for god knows how long. When we were done making out I asked if we was going to leave me again. He said, "I must go, but I promise you will see me before long." He did the weird growl-hiss thing and everything went black again. When I woke up my mom had carried me inside and asked me if I had passed out in the cold. I said yes but didn't answer any more questions. Later that day I walked out there and saw the print where my body had been in the snow. And, right in front of it, were footprints that lead to a rock in the backyard. WHAT THE HELL DOES THIS MEAN??? I keep dreaming of him and I want to see him again, but first, who is Kitsune and should I trust him? I AM NOT MAKING THIS UP!! PLEASE PLEASE HELP!!!! more

Resolved Question: What's a good, cheap, tent campground in southern Florida?

I'm looking for a place to camp out for a couple of weeks just to get away from everything. I'd prefer the following attributes: - Tent sites not right next to RV's - Bath house (to relieve myself) - On or within biking distance to a beach. - Not too expensive. Under $20 would be good, but the cheaper the better. - Not dangerous (like, I don't want to get stabbed to death in the middle of the night) more

Resolved Question: What is the best brand tent for the money?

For Christmas I am getting my boyfriend a tent, a portable stove, and some various camping gear. The tent will most likely be used in the woods (aka, not the beach) and with our luck, it usually rains. My budget is 150, preferably 100 but I'm willing to spend 150 on the tent. What is your recommendation? What to avoid? Where to buy the tent..I don't mind buying online. I'm read reviews on various websites and I just can't decide. I know we don't need much room but maybe he would like a great big tent. Would a big tent be ridiculous for just 2 people (aka: 6-8 person tent)?(To clarify, 150 is JUST the tent budget) more

Resolved Question: Clothes styles for a UK teenage girl?

Hey! I'm a 15 year old girl from Australia, and my parents have close friends from the UK who we send christmas presents to each year, so I need to pick something to give to the teenage girl, whose the same age as me.

Resolved Question: I'm in Adelaide- Where to go on holiday?

I'm in Adelaide, and my boyfriend and I want to go away for a week, with a car and a tent, to somewhere that has caravan parks or camp grounds with toilets/showers, and some things to do/look at in the area. We were thinking maybe a few nights in a couple of different places. It has to be within reasonable driving distance, or, staying a couple of places to get to somewhere (and then of course again to get back). My boyfriend would like one of those places at least to have a beach nearby. Any suggestions? more

Resolved Question: Can you define a word in yours? Comments/Critique?

Pretentious: Oh, the static feeling one gets in their feet, while camping out on the beach, after unloading the boat, watching a squall racing the waves, dodging the streaking lightning laughter, awash in dropped rain, lost weather reports, or maybe just suddenness, and your arms are full of provisions, and tired from a quick tent pin up, and try as you might you can't get the zipper to move. more
