Open Question: Help me find two Italian songs please!?

In the summer of 2009, I went to Italy on vacation. The only thing to watch on T.V was mTV, which wasn't so bad. There was these two songs that I absolutely LOVED! The only problem is that I don't know the name of the songs or who sings them. I do remember the music videos though. The first one has a male singer. In the music video, there's a photographer who gets hired to photograph a famous woman. He follows her around the whole day and then, when he gets home, she's there (she knew the whole time that he was following her.) The photographer ends up ripping up the pictures. The second one is of a little girl at the circus, and she kind of gets sucked in. The singer is obviously the older version of the little girl. The little girl (she has long curly brown hair) meets a boy her age who is dressed up like a clown. He gives her a Joker card. When she's older, she goes back to the circus and she meets the clown again. She gives him back his card and then walks away. It's pretty sad if you see it. I hope I gave you enough info. It was on MTV in the summer of 2009, and it they were pretty popular because they played them a lot. Thanks! more

Resolved Question: i need help with my asian mom?

i just completed the gr 8 RCM piano exam with first class honors, it didn't take me too long, about 3 months. now she's just nuts, she wants me to jump on to gr 10 RCM piano and do the exam in the early august which is MY VACATION TIME,she's also making me to take summer school this year to get extra credits which i don't know why? i get all my credits in school and achieve averages like 90, im an excellent student in school, i get involved in a lot of extracurricular activities, like clubs, bands and sport teams, and i am the only grade representative in my grade chosen by the students which also means i am popular. i know this isn't something a popular kid do but im frustrated. i live in canada with my mom and most of my family is in china, going back to china this year is like something i planned decades ago and i wanna have a good time. me and my mom argues a lot over piano, last time she smashed my Dell Alienware which was like a 2000 dollar gaming laptop just because i didn't practice for enough time. Now i've passed grade 8 piano with first class honors and i even have 5 students i charge them 20 dollars an hour im pretty happy with it. but for the past few days me and my mom have been going around and looking for piano teachers, all of the teachers said that it's almost an impossibility to pass gr 10 in just 5 months, an average piano player takes about 15 months to prepare for the gr 10 exam. but she doesn't care, she doesn't know anything about piano and all she wants is for me to pass gr 10 ASAP. i said to her that i will practice the pieces i like and when i come back from china i will start gr 10 and yea blah blah blah. that just started a big argument she's talking about things like how smart i am and other bullcrap. then im like F*CK YOU MOM i dont give a sh!t, im tired of writing this bullsh!t anyways. so, is it possible to pass gr 10 in 5 months? more

Voting Question: Republicans at state of union speech?

Even though the republicans do not agree with the democrats agenda, I could not believe my eyes to see how they could just sit there and not show any sign of respect for President Obama! They did not even stand up, How rude and ridiculous! What type of Message does this send out to the people of america and the world? That' it's ok Not to be respectful of the President of the Free world. It was flat out disrespectful. Even though Bush was not the most popular Republican, at his final state of the union speech the democrats whom strongly disagreed with the majority of his policy's and decisions all stood up and clapped for the man. I cant help but feel that there is something deeper than just politics behind all this conservative disrespect. The republicans are claiming to be the pro life party! Yet there were over 100,000 deaths in the US in 2009 that could have been prevented if the people had proper insurance. Sarah Palin Is Showing up at the next tea party to make a speech for a sum of 150k. The tea party is raising money to send the republicans on a cruise vacation this summer???? WTF Is going on with this country. People want to Say obama Lies, He's a socialist?? He has Lowered Taxes for 95% of the working class people in the US! Also Medicare, and Social Security Benifits are Socialist Programs? So is everyone who is 65+ Earning Medicare or S.Security a Socialist? He cuts taxes but they want to call him a socialist.

Resolved Question: Teenager needs some help?

I'm a 14 years old straight male teen who's never been in a relationship. I'm kind of shy, not really absolutely popular at school but I do have friends. Now there's this girl, 15 years old at school. I know her since we were 8 actually, and since this very first day I saw her, I liked her (I was a kid and didn't really understand what I felt). But we just know each other and barely talk. All I can say is that she's not the kind of girl who pokes fun at people and stuff, she's really kind, but I don't think she really cares about me, and I don't know if she's in a relationship. 2 years ago, I spent my whole summer vacations thinking about her, hoping that she'll be in my class, and she didn't end up in my class. The fact is, I can't hold my breath anymore, so now I'm thinking about sending her a private message on Facebook, and tell her what I feel about her, and I don't care about what's going to happen afterwards. But I'm not sure about doing this, so I'm asking it to you people on Yahoo Answers: should I do it? I need advices. Thanks in advance. more

Resolved Question: How do we get the Government to implement Fundamentalist Values into the Government?

I am so darn sick of the way we are treated for speaking the truth. Plus, there is so much crap in society that simply needs to be cleansed, if they would just turn our government Theocratic, and based on purely Fundamentalist Christian values. First off, girls go off dressing with pants, and these provocative clothes from the american eagle and other brand name trash clothes. People get tattoos, we have all these non-fundamentalist churches that care more about feeding the lazy and decorating their churches to boost a bunch of stuck up architects ego. We have all this comedy crap like Family Guy, the Simpsons, 1.5 men, and other trash like that on television, yet no shows about punishment. We have women in the workforce, so families can own nice houses, and go on vacations to evil places like Disney world. Then, Harry Potter is the most popular book out there. People listen to rock music, which just speaks about breaking rules. Then, we always get crap for trying to get rid of this stuff. We are ridiculed, ignored, yelled at, ect. SO, heres how it should be -Ban all religions except for independent Fundamentalist Churches -Make tattoos, illegal -Stop teaching ideas of Evolution, psychology, astronomy, and other sciences that blatantly contradict the bible. -Make for a civil dress code, where girls have to wear dresses, and longsleeve shirts, whether winter or summer. Guys, long pants, shirt and tie, winter or summer -Ban alcohol. -Ban any rock bands, along with any other bands that oppose our ideals. -Any activities, such as missing worship services, dancing, playing games, spending time entertaining yourself instead of working, and showing any disrespect towards fundamentalism should be punishable by law -Ban divorce, (You make the decision, you live with it) -Shut down all malls, cinemas, ethnic restaurants, amusement parks, zoos and playgrounds, and anything else related to hospitality industries. more

Resolved Question: How does my story sound? EASY AND QUICK TEN POINTS?

I wrote this story for the wattpad writing contest, so if you like it can you vote for it on http://www.wattpad.com/243240-quot-im-like-nothing-you-have-ever-seen-before-quot-he-said-to-me PLEASE? "I'm like nothing you have ever seen before." Yeah, right. Like I was going to believe that non-sense. He had said those words to me exactly two months, one week, and 3 days ago. I rolled my eyes, how could I have let those eight aggravating little words affect me this deeply? To think that all I've done on my summer vacation is attempting to decipher that inconsequential sentence was just sad. I seriously need to get a life. "What are you?" I had asked him. And he replied with, you guessed it, those eight words. What had he seen in me that would make him tell me his deepest secrets, his deepest regrets? And now I'm stuck for life with the most stubborn, most fascinating and the most beautiful person in the whole entire world. Why had he chosen me? I'm not special, in any way. I'm certainly not the prettiest, definitely not the coolest, and clearly not the most popular. In fact I'm a nerd, the only thing I really have going for me is my academics. I've always been smart and sensible. And because of my intelligence, I met the most beautiful man (he didn't really qualify as a boy). I was always really great at math, so my teacher recommended me for the Advanced-Placement Program, all that means is that I joined the 11th grade math class and science class instead of my usual 10th grade classes. I knew that the 11th graders wouldn't be too ecstatic that a 10th grader was joining their ranks, and I was right. I was neglected from sitting with a group, so I always sat alone. In my city new kids come and go like Tic-Tacs, no one makes a commotion about the newbies. When he walked into the class, I didn't even look up from my notes and apparently I was the only one not notified that we all suddenly love new kids. All of the girls straightened up when the teacher started introducing him. I wanted to know what all of the goddamn fuss was about so I looked up to see him staring right at me. He had the most gorgeous eyes; it felt like I was falling into their endless depths. I detached my eyes from his and shook my head sharply, trying to clear my head. 'What's wrong with me? He's just a new kid; no way he was staring at me. It was just coincidence that he happened to be looking at me when I looked up.' I told myself. During my internal chastening the new kid had told a joke that even had my pretentious teacher laughing. Some part of me longed to be laughing with him. The teacher now assigned him the only seat available, the one next to me. I looked down at my science textbook trying to look un-interested. The older girls all shot me looks like they wanted to skin me alive. And that was the beginning of the rest of my life. more

Resolved Question: Please read the whole question and help me out. PLEASE!?

This girl and I we're like best friends. We used to talk to each other every single day. I remember since the middle of june in our summer vacation to october, we talked for hours every single day, we used to get along like bread and butter, and we're perfectly compatible. I told her I liked her, but didn't ask her out because she had just broken up with this other guy. At first she didn't believe me later we just stopped talking about it. Although the topic came up many times. 1 month later after some other holiday for one month in september, in october something happened. She didn't talk to me as much, and I stopped too. My friend who was sitting beside her kept on asking whether anything was gonna happen between us, At fist she said she didn't know, later she said not gonna happen. After I heard that I didn't talk to her for like 2 weeks, cause it was really awkward for me.Weird thing is she didn't talk to me either. As if she was ignoring me. Later her friend helped me out and we started talking again a bit. She asked me a few days later whether I still liked her or not. I stalled, adn later lied saying I don't. This girl is like really dum she doesen't get when a guy is lying to her and I used to advise her about these these things. We were so close, sharing everything with each other. But now she's avoiding me. I fell in love with her, but I don't know what the **** is wrong. Before she used to tell me how I had the qualities she wanted in a boy friend. But now she's falling for this other guy who is a jerk and is tricking her. She's gonna move to another school january. So I have very little time to do anything with my tests coming up in december. So what should I do? I really am in love with her. Even the stupid star sign thigy's say that we're meant to be together. I'm a scorpio she's a pisces. I don't care how long it takes. I'm willing to wait. Even if it happens llike with Ross and Rachel in F.R.I.E.N.D.S I'll love her for the next 10 years if I have to. I know we'll be perfect together. But I'm like a straight A's getting, all around good guy, but good looking, and she's one of the most popular and prettiest girls in school. And tru love is supposed to have a happy ending right. PLEASE TELL ME WHAT I CAN DO? BTW I cant really date anyone now. And she's like this super rich girl, but i'm average (I knw I posted this question twice befor but no one really helped out) more

Resolved Question: Should I keep writing?

Reality As I sat in my room and scrolled though the pictures of me and my family from our Florida vacation that we had took during the summer. The week in Florida had flown by. Now back in the mist of all the chaos with the start of school, my sisters pulling their usual stunts, my mom freaking out about my youngest brother starting kindergarten, that week with no worries it was forever ago. But as I scrolled though the pictures I came across one of me and my sisters. The three of us smiling our identical smiles. If a stranger had looked at this picture they would have said that me and my sisters are identical. Which is true we are, we are identical triplets. But yet that is only on the outside, on the inside we are different people. Amber is the oldest. She’s the party girl. The sister who sneaks in at 2 in the morning drunk, high, or both. She was reckless and dangerous with her friends, but she knew how to walk the walk and talk the talk in front of our parents and others parents as well. She was a whole fifteen minutes older than Amethyst and seven minutes older than me. Amethyst was the youngest. She is the popular one. The sister that is a total bitch at school but a sweetheart at home. She is a cheerleader, on all the committees and not to mention she is dating the quarterback on the football team. She might be the youngest but she also knows how to party. Then there is me. Jade the middle triplet. I’m the innocent one. I don’t go to parties, I’ve never drank, smoked, or had sex. I pay attention in church, I’ve only dated a few boys all who my parents approved of. I was a overly safe driver, I never snuck out. I’ve never even rolled someone’s house. I was the one who while my parents hovered over my sisters and brother they barely paid attention to me cause they knew that I wouldn’t get in trouble or do something bad. But on the outside me and my sisters are identical. I looked at the picture for a little while. Or at least until someone knocked on my bedroom door. “Who is it?” I asked as I stuck the camera on my bedside table. “Its Amber,” My sister said though the door, “Can I come in?” “Sure,” As she entered I was shocked to see she was wearing jeans and a short shelve shirt- I was a little annoyed to notice that it was my shirt- and not her normal skimpy dresses or reveling shirts. “What do you want?” I asked her as she came and sat on my bed next to me. She looked different somehow I couldn’t put my finger on it, but there was definitely something off about her. I started to study her but then she started talking. “I wanna talk,” She said. This had to be some other Amber than the one that lived to two feet down the hall from me. Amber never wanted to talk, she was a fabulous person, but she never ever wanted to talk. If there was something wrong her advise was “Get drunk or something, go to a party.” “What do you want to talk about?” I asked her. She gave me a look it made me kind of nervous. Because even thought I’ve lived with her my entire life, if always felt she was better than me. It was like when you walked by the popular crowd and they gave you a once over and decided you weren’t cool enough and laughed. Like she was better at this whole being sixteen thing. “You,” She said, shocking me to an even further expectant. “Why do you want to talk about me?” I asked her. This is the very beging whould you keep reading? Its a teen love story. Kinda. And i know its shaky but its the being i just wrote it.Ok thanks for the constrive critasim but like i said i posted this with out even reading it over and im only 14 so i know ive made some mistaking in grammer but thats not really what im asking about. im asking if you would keep reading?Please dont steal this.

Resolved Question: Help! Confused about two guys!? ):?

There's two guys that I started to like and I don't want to go back and forth. Who should I continue crushing on and who should I just forget about? #1: I liked him for two years already. He found out last year and got a girlfriend to purposely make me jealous/mad. But he broke up with her during Summer Vacation. When I see him I melt into a puddle and my heart beats like crazy just like the way he plays drums. <3 He doesn't talk to me anymore but everytime he seems me looking at him he smiles and stares into my eyes the way that makes me feel this lovey kind of feeling and I feel really happy. And I always want to see him and crazy about just getting him to look at me. But if we ever somehow got together all the girls would hate me because he's popular. (But I liked him before he became popular.) My friends think he's weird in a funny way. #2: I just started liking him about a month ago. He always walks me to my classes holding my hand and waits for me after my classes. He also acts like we are bf/gf. He also talks to me a lot. When I'm around him my legs feel like jelly and my arms go numb and I feel all happy and cheery. But he barely ever looks me in the eyes. :( But sometimes I want to avoid him because he's EVERYWHERE. He's one of those kids that you'd see in a small group of weird friends but he has a lot of popular friends. My friends think he's weird in a creepy way. So who should I just continue crushing on and who should I just throw out of my mind of forget about them? I'm tired of having to go back and forth.\ #1 is hard to get over because he affected my life so much and his smile is like a magnet to my heart. Just keeps pulling me in. #2 is also hard because he's everywhere and he's really nice to me. Nicer than any guy has ever been to me. more

Resolved Question: how can i stop cutting I NEED HELP NOW?

my life story (boring) I don't know my dad, never have and probably never will. He doesn't know me and I don't know him........ I have been self hurting for 3 years and a cutter for 2. The first year i would let my cat scratch me and bite me, then at the beginning of 6th grade a read a book (called Tweak) and it was about a guy that did drugs and his girlfriend had ben a cutter. With out thinking one night i just got up and went to the garage and found a knife and ran it lightly across my wrist, then harder. After each time i got a little more confident. I broke the skin but i didn't get blood. But i couldn't think of another way to cut. Until i accidently cut my self with my razor in the shower. I was amazed. There was actually blood. It made me feel better. I knew it wasn't that good to do it but it made me feel better, happy even. So here i am the secret emo girl. Then one of my class mates found out. Then I told me friends and i was getting more popular. Then.... the school found out. I was going to bed, when my mother called me out. She asked to see my wrist. My arm betrayed me, it was stuck out, palm up. My mom ran her fingers across my cuts. She was mad! I thought I would never here the end of it. Then, my dad (step dad) came home and i got grounded and yelled at the whole weekend. I stopped for a week. Then I was cutting other places, my upper arm and my legs. Then summer vacation began. I was so happy with cutting my legs. Then my mom saw my leg when we were walking in a store. She got really mad and said she would send me to a psychologist if she saw that (my cuts) again. "Well then I guess you wont see them" i thought. (See cutting is an addiction. You get addicted to the adrenaline rush, and your body loves it there for wanting more of it.) Bout i stopped for 2 months, but when we went back to school, the pressure built up, by the end of the 1st week I had cut the tops of my feet. Around the 3rd week of school I had made a great friend, and one of my other friends told her I'm a cutter. She asked to see and I showed her my foot. She nodded and looked away. The next day I was called to the office. I was terrified. When i went in the principal's office. And someone told them that i had ben cutting my feet. They had a counselor scheduled to talk to me after school. By then I was crying, so when I went back to class EVERYONE was asking questions. I just shook my head. they would have to wait. So I saw the counselor. She did not help at all. And then I found out that my new friend (Madison) was the one that told. I was mad at her for awhile. then we became friends and i saw she saved my life. Happy story, right. not Then i got in a fight with my mom about a week later and i cut my inner thighs. I thought it was great. No one would see it. Not, that weekend i was going to a resort with my aunt, uncle, cousin and 2nd cousin. not to mention my family. The resort had a huge pool. I had to make up excuses why i couldn't go in the pool. It was horrible. Then I got really close to my cousin he is 23. (I'm 12) so i told him i was a cutter and he was so cool about it. And he told me he is gay. (he's like those really hot gay guys that you can't help but love) But anyone i go to for help tells me to stop, its not that easy. It is not as simple as just stopping, you have to get to the root of the problem and fix that then work you way up. the problem is, I don't want to stop. Then i stopped cutting 5 days ago but 3 days ago i started drinking vodka and no i cant stop. What is wrong with me? Is there anything wrong with me? Wat can i do to stop hurting myself more

Resolved Question: How do you think kids will take the fact that 0bama's taken away their summer vacation? How about their paren?

LIBBY QUAID - More School: Obama Would Curtail Summer Vacation AP Seventh grade students at Edwards Middle School work on guinea-pig heart during their science class Thursday By LIBBY QUAID, AP Education Writer Libby Quaid, Ap Education Writer – Sun Sep 27, 8:55 am ET WASHINGTON – Students beware: The summer vacation you just enjoyed could be sharply curtailed if President Barack Obama gets his way. Obama says American kids spend too little time in school, putting them at a disadvantage with other students around the globe. "Now, I know longer school days and school years are not wildly popular ideas," the president said earlier this year. "Not with Malia and Sasha, not in my family, and probably not in yours. But the challenges of a new century demand more time in the classroom." The president, who has a sixth-grader and a third-grader, wants schools to add time to classes, to stay open late and to let kids in on weekends so they have a safe place to go. "Our school calendar is based upon the agrarian economy and not too many of our kids are working the fields today," Education Secretary Arne Duncan said in a recent interview with The Associated Press. Fifth-grader Nakany Camara is of two minds. She likes the four-week summer program at her school, Brookhaven Elementary School in Rockville, Md. Nakany enjoys seeing her friends there and thinks summer school helped boost her grades from two Cs to the honor roll. But she doesn't want a longer school day. "I would walk straight out the door," she said. Domonique Toombs felt the same way when she learned she would stay for an extra three hours each day in sixth grade at Boston's Clarence R. Edwards Middle School. "I was like, `Wow, are you serious?'" she said. "That's three more hours I won't be able to chill with my friends after school." Her school is part of a 3-year-old state initiative to add 300 hours of school time in nearly two dozen schools. Early results are positive. Even reluctant Domonique, who just started ninth grade, feels differently now. "I've learned a lot," she said. Does Obama want every kid to do these things? School until dinnertime? Summer school? And what about the idea that kids today are overscheduled and need more time to play? Obama and Duncan say kids in the United States need more school because kids in other nations have more school. "Young people in other countries are going to school 25, 30 percent longer than our students here," Duncan told the AP. "I want to just level the playing field." While it is true that kids in many other countries have more school days, it's not true they all spend more time in school. Kids in the U.S. spend more hours in school (1,146 instructional hours per year) than do kids in the Asian countries that persistently outscore the U.S. on math and science tests — Singapore (903), Taiwan (1,050), Japan (1,005) and Hong Kong (1,013). That is despite the fact that Taiwan, Japan and Hong Kong have longer school years (190 to 201 days) than does the U.S. (180 days). Regardless, there is a strong case for adding time to the school day. Researcher Tom Loveless of the Brookings Institution looked at math scores in countries that added math instruction time. Scores rose significantly, especially in countries that added minutes to the day, rather than days to the year. "Ten minutes sounds trivial to a school day, but don't forget, these math periods in the U.S. average 45 minutes," Loveless said. "Percentage-wise, that's a pretty healthy increase." In the U.S., there are many examples of gains when time is added to the school day. Charter schools are known for having longer school days or weeks or years. For example, kids in the KIPP network of 82 charter schools across the country go to school from 7:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., more than three hours longer than the typical day. They go to school every other Saturday and for three weeks in the summer. KIPP eighth-grade classes exceed their school district averages on state tests. In Massachusetts' expanded learning time initiative, early results indicate that kids in some schools do better on state tests than do kids at regular public schools. The extra time, which schools can add as hours or days, is for three things: core academics — kids struggling in English, for example, get an extra English class; more time for teachers; and enrichment time for kids. Regular public schools are adding time, too, though it is optional and not usually part of the regular school day. Their calendar is pretty much set in stone. Most states set the minimum number of school days at 180 days, though a few require 175 to 179 days. Several schools are going year-round by shortening summer vacation and lengthening other breaks. Many schools are going beyond the traditional summer school model, in which schools give remedial help to kids more

Voting Question: would it be a good idea if I tell her how I feel?

For the past summertime I've been hanging out with a girl from school. She is perfect to me! Every part of her is amazing, inside and out. So toward the end summer vacation I told her that I liked her. She got pretty quiet and smiled. She is a very social person, and is extremely popular. She is very physical, always giving hi-fives, hugs, and whatever other form of physical interaction there is. The problem is, now that we have gone back to school I only rarely get to see her. She texts me from time to time, telling me things like "your one of the sweetest guys I've ever known" and "I was thinking about you". About a week ago our school had their first football game and I happened to run into her there. When I said hi to her she gave me a hug but seemed really nervous and on edge and couldn't look me in the eyes. Should I just tell her how I feel? Or would this just do me no good?Should I email her a letter, text her, or attempt to see her in person and tell her? She's pretty busy so its kinda hard to get her alone. I've got soccer practice, and she's got track practice so it leaves little time to meet... more

Resolved Question: Is is stupid to move because of friends?

Over summer i visited family in Canada. I made friends with my cousin's best friend. His name is Brandon and when we met we became best friends instantly. Brandon is the most popular guy in town, everyone knows who he is and everyone wants to hang out with him. And then there's me. I have always had trouble making friends, I don't know why, i have a few friends but there not close friends. So anyway, Brandon really liked me and introduced me to his exclusive social circle. Every day he would go to my cousin's house and asked my aunt if i was there so we could go to parties. I spent half of my vacation living in his house and his family really liked me. we slept in the same bed and would talk all night. I really got to know him really well. A lot of people would come up to me and be like wow Brandon really likes you i've met my whole life and he's never invited me to sleep over. Many got jealous of our friendship boys, girls including my cousin. At times Brandon would just come up to me and say, man i love you, your like family to me. and after just one month of spending time with him 24/7 it felt like we grew up together. I never had a friend that cared so much for me. When i saw movies about little kids growing up with their best friends i always wondered how it would feel to have a friend that really cared for you and liked you just the way you are. Now I know. I spent my last vacation day hanging out with Brandon the whole day. The next morning I was leaving. I said bye to my family and friends i made. When i saw Brandon we hugged and our eyed got watery. We told each other that we would see each other soon. That was over a month ago. Now am back to my boring life. and i can't help but to think on the incredible summer i had all day. I wrote all this because i want to move to Canada to have a life where people like me and want me. Now don't get me wrong I am not in love with Brandon in a homosexual way. I talked to my aunt about me living her and she is happy to have me live with her. But my parents don't know about this. What should I do?? BTW I just turned 16 and so did Brandon.

Last Thursday I went with my friends to the sea in the evening. I very like photograph so I took with me my professional camera that my parents bought me on my birthday. We left the house at 5 o'clock because I hurried to photograph the sunset. We took taxi from Ramla to Rishon beach, and we arrived approximately at 6 pm o'clock. At the beginning we settle on the beach and then we started to play 'madkot'. Madkot is a popular game just in Israel that people play it on the beach. I very like this game and I won my friends. After that the sunset began so I take out the camera and began to photograph. I verylike this style of photo. Here is one of the pictures I took: ... After that we sat in the restaurant and we called the waiter and everyone order what he want. I chose to eat pizza. It was very testy. We sat there until 10 o'clock and we told each other jokes, and everyone told about his summer vacation and his experience. In summary, I very enjoyed this evening and I hope for another evenings like this one. __________________ more

Resolved Question: Guys tell me, is this guy still interested?

So this guy and I flirted all the time the last month of school last year cause we sat next to each other in study hall. I knew he had liked me for quite a while before we really started talking. Once summer came, we texted back and forth a lot and I saw him once at a party. But then I went away on vacation for the whole month of August and we stopped talking. We've now been in school for a couple days and me & him said hi to each other today. I saw him a couple times yesterday but i just acted like i didn't see him, but I could feel him looking at me, yet he didn't say anything either. This guy is more popular than I am, but ever since he started liking me back in April/May, he hasn't been with any other girl. Do you think he's gotten over me? Or do you think he's just nervous around me since we haven't talked in a while. I still have feelings for him. more

Well, I kept saying, its ok, grade 10 will be amazing! Now, I am going to get the letter either tomorrow or the day after and I am terrified! What if I am not in the same classes as my friends, I don't think I can get through another year! And I am friends with pretty much everyone, but my REAL friends, are the ones I want to be close to. Last year, I got health problems from stress because I had to do Taekwondo which I hated, and I had major memory loss problems and headaches, and I had to go to the doctor and he gave me pills and told me I am very stressed, and I have never been stressed before ever. All weekend, I kept thinking, the letter, the letter. Last night, when I went to sleep, there was a possibility the letter could come today (but it didn't) so I had this dream last night. Ok, in the dream, I was all alone in the library reading like I did last year, and the library was empty. Everyone was in classes, and only some guys from older classes were at lunch. I got up all alone and walked to go get lunch in my dream, and then the dream sorta shifted and I saw my best friend and they were with this other person I don't like and I was screaming their name running towards them and I grabbed their schedule from their hands. Then I took my schedule out of my backpack and I looked at them, and they were completley different, and then I saw another one of my friends and they were FAT and they didn't have classes with me either, and I fell on the ground and I was like breaking down and crying this year is going to be just like last year, then I quickly woke up, and screamed no and I was sweating when I woke up and I was so scared and shaky and I had to talk into my self... it was a dream. I am very worried, please give me some advice to help! Remember I am only 14, I know school is about learning, but this is very important to me. I have had a very complex life. more

Resolved Question: Would this be a good show?

Okay so there are five friends (all girls) named (lets just say) Erin Nikki Brooke Kate and Miranda. These girls have been friends since pre-k when Brooke stole Kate's animal crackers. They aren't the most popular girls but they are all well liked (except for the popular people who think that they are weird). Brooke and Nikki are the two most crazy girls and are always doing something like blowing up a watermelon with an air pump (I've tried it, it actually wworks) or playing a ton of pracical jokes on Nikki's two younger sisters. Brooke loves art and has planned her future and knows every detail about it when she gets older (even down to what color her future family room is going to be). Miranda is the most sporty girl you have ever met. She plays soccer, lacrosse, softball, swims, and knows everthing about anything on sports. Kate is a fashion diva and always knows what the latest trend is. She gets the gossip on everyone and is more than glad to share with her friends. Lastly there is Erin who just moved to North Carolina from Oklahoma and has a fabulous accent (you could say she is "countrified"). You won't ever find Erin without her cowboy boots and a crisply ironed shirt tucked into some jeans. All of these girls love hanging out over summer vacation at their local cafe and sipping their mocha frappuccinos. They gossip, chill, act goofy, and have inside jokes like any normal 14 year-old girl would be.thats just the characters so far, I've still got a lot of work on the plot and stuff... :~) more

Voting Question: i am soo stupid!! why did do this and what should i do about it?

okay so this is what happened. in the beggining of the year i was friends you know wit all the popular ppl and they were talking about how they all made out with ppl and gave blow jobs and stuff, and i felt left out and like a total prude, so i told them that i had madeout with this past bf i dated last summer who moved to michigan. but then i was worried that it would get to my real best friends so i told them about it too, but said since it wasnt a long relationship and they were both on vacation i didnt mention it b/c the break up was messy and he moved away so i didnt want to talk about it. and then, my friend is like super self concious so i made up this best friend of that boyfriend who said that she was hot after seeing a pic on FB, and then she said cool and then eventually she started asking me about him again so i told her all this fake crap to make her feel better. and then she said she really wanted 2 meeet him so i made up a FB for this kid and let them talk and stuff, and you know made her feel better. but then i found out that she saw he had no FB friends so i made my fake ex a FB too along with one of their past fake gfs, and then they all started talking to her and stuff and it got all confusing. so i decided i would just delete all their facebook scattered across the next couple weeks and then she would just get over it....but she didnt get over it. b/c apparantly she had "gotten really close with him" and now i have 2 tell her 2 just get over it and i feel really bad and i want 2 escape all of these lies. but i know if i tell them they wont be friends with me anymore. and i cant risk that. so i need a way to get out of these lies without telling anymore lies but also not telling the truth either. but that seems sorta impossible. and idk what to do and i feel like such a freak. i wish i hadnt told all these freaking lies and just accepted the fact that i was indeed a prude. HELPP!!!!! more

Resolved Question: DOES HE LIKE ME? Please help!?

So, there is this guy i met a little over a year ago. We started out being really good friends, and nothing more, then one day things started changing a bit. Once we were measuring our fingers against each other, because he needed to show everybody how small my hands are, he slowly laced his fingers with mine, i blushed and didn't really know how to react. So i elegantly removed my fingers from his, and fixed my hair. He did this twice, and he just started flirting a lot more. I've always been the kinda girl to tell everyone how i didn't want a boyfriend any time soon, but i never thought it would ruin anything for me, and i'm not really sure if that was the reason, but all of the sudden, he stopped talking to me and my friends, he got more popular and changed his looks. Then we went on summer vacation, and when we came back, we were friends again. Then one day we were texting he wrote a sad smiley and said that everything was wrong. I asked him what i was, and he answered: someone. I tried to get him to say who, but he wouldn't he kept saying he did it to make me curious. I have a couple of friends who think he likes me, but i'm not sure.. Please help, i'm desperate ! more

Resolved Question: Guys: how Do you Like The Girls?

Resolved Question: LONG STORY. WHAT'S HIS DEAL?!?!?!?

Ok here's a story. Kind of long i know but i would really like to share this with someone. Anyone who likes to read and would really like to give me straight up advice. Mainly advice from a guys point of view. Okay i was dating this guy with The inituals CW for a year. {we were inlove} but we begin to fall out and have argument after argument and fight after fight. He was popular and on the football team. One of the main stars. So he had alot of groupie's. So he would kind of dis me for his female friends. So in Febuary after valentines day i met a guy with the inituals YM. It started off as a crush then turned into a friendship with benefits. Really just kissing and hanging out ALOT! So basically i was cheating on my bf. But i didnt feel bad at first bcus he cheated on me in the past. Anyway so i left CW for YM and i thought things were gona be great from there wrong. Anyway CW wanted me back and kept coming around saying I love you and etc. Anyway long story short i kept going back in forth with both guys into one point me and YM made it official. Then out of nowhere one day he texted me saying supp and i didnt txt back right away. So when i did i said hey and he never texted back. So the next day i went on his page and saw this girl on his page that was supposedly his friend. He said he loved her and wanted to marry her. {which was the last thing he told me the last night he was at my house on my porch}. Okay so after that we stopped speaking for a while into the next week when i saw him at his prom toast off. We hugged and etc & i told him you look nice even though im mad at you. So a few weeks went pass and the summer came. He texted me one day saying i miss you and etc. So we started texting for a few days but something wasnt right. Because he would text me then once i texted back and got into the conversation he wouldnt text back and would ignore me. So july 5th he texted me saying happy 4th of july my bday in 5 days. And i was at a sleepover that night. So i was up to get the text. So i texted so fuck your bday. So later the next day when me and my family was at the park playing kickball. He texted fuc you lol. So i told him i wanted to playing in a playful way bcus that's how we play. So blah blah blah. We got back together and i asked him was it for sex and he said no. So a few days later i told him i didnt want to have sex with him and he said ok. So we was together again. He was in another state on vacation texting me every morning saying hey baby i love you and etc. Calling me during the day and at night saying good night i love you etc. But then he stopped all that once i would text him first in the morning and he would only text me once in the blue. Then he said the dog ate his charger and thats why he havent been texting me. Then he said his phone got turned off and he could only receive texts. So i texted him one night and set him straight. And he said I do wana be with you if i didnt i would of been told you. So i said ite and that was it. After that he stopped txtn me. Then recently i get a text from him saying yo i cant stop thinking about you. I just wanted to say i love u baby. So i called him the next night and we talked about it. And he said it was true and he wasnt lying. So i said but why send that if you havent spoken to me in like a week or 2. And he said ugh boii every time we talk you wana argue. But i said we wasnt arguing bcus we wasnt. So i said alright bye. And he said "BYE" and i said yea you busy so talk to you later. And he said "ITE" and we hung up. I havent spoken to him since then and its about 2 be 2weeks. NOTE: he's in florida with his cousin who plays college football down there and his cousin friends. Now he's smoking and drinking which he didnt do before and going to clubs. Which he was about to do the kast night i called him. And i heard girls in the background but didnt comment on it bcus it aint like we go together anymore. But i wana know like what's his deal? more

Resolved Question: Do you think I should stay with my boyfriend?

I know this is a stupid middle school relationship. I'm 14 years old. So there is this guy and i'll call him Fred. So Fred and I started going out in October last year. We went out for about a month and everything seemed fine between us. He gave me a 250 dollar necklace (he's rich) for our month anniversary. He never told his friends about us going out and kept it a secret. Then when his friends found out, they started making fun of him. And saying that I was really ugly and Fred started to kind of go along with them right in front of me. When I walked out of the gym room his friends told me that he was breaking up with me. 2 days after he bought me the necklace. The whole day I was upset because of why he broke up with me. I asked him why he broke up with me later on and he said I just felt like it. When we weren't going out he would always make fun of me and talk about me to other people and I could hear him. Then in April he asked me out again and I said yes because I couldn't turn him down. He kept asking me out for a month. He doesn't let go. One time he told everyone he was going out with this one girl named Ashley and they weren't even going out. Fred thinks he's cool but most his friends make fun of him. But he is in the popular group. My birthday was May 21, my friends all kept reminding him that it was my birthday. Then when it was my birthday he didn't say anything. I didn't hear him say happy birthday when I said that to him during his birthday. Also when ever we would walk around school he would ignore me most time around other people. In the end of June last month during our summer vacation he broke up with me over the phone in a very mean way. I could hear guys in the background laughing. My boyfriend said did you know that were broken up and was laughing when he said that to me. 2 weeks ago he asked me out again and said he was sorry but he is still ignoring me when I call him and he never calls me when he says he will. Sorry if this was so long but what do you think I should do??? more

Resolved Question: Why can't I find a boyfriend?

Hello Everyone, I seem to have a little problem. I'm alone and I can't understand why. A little about myself: I am a 23 year old attractive gay male, officially and openly out of the closet . I like to dress nicely, smell good, look clean. I am going to university, I have graduated from some previous programs before. I speak and write fluently English, French and Spanish. I am fairly well cultured and well traveled. I consider myself open minded. I live with 3 other very nice roomates ( they are not gay) in a nice apartment in downtown close to any popular bar or club or mall. People usually think I look like Brad Pitt with a heart of gold. People tell me that a problem I have is that of the word no, I have a hard time saying it, and that I help to much other people. Other people can't believe when I tell them that I am still a virgin. I tell them the opportunity has not yet been presented . Still they don't believe me or they tell me that they thought I was a guy that had like a lot of boyfriends and stuff like that. When I ask them why, they say always two things, because of my physique and because I am very friendly and positive. More about me to help you figure out what is going on so you can recommend me anything: I have never had a serious relationship in my life. Once, I dated a girl for a year, nothing sexual ever happened and off course we had to brake up because of my orientation ( a lot of men where after this girl so this was a relief for a lot of people), The other one was a guy I met on a summer vacation, I liked him immediately. I had no Idea it was reciprocal, until I left and then I admitted to him that I liked him, already away over the computer, to which he admitted the same. We started a long distance relationship, after a month it was going to fast, the guy wanted to live with me etc... broke the relationship, even when this other guy was even like the most desired male from the group I was hanging out with that vacation, and we never even kissed or anything. So as you can see not really any relationship at all. A total looser when it comes to that. I started to wonder, maybe I am ugly, since I believe we all live in a dilution. But then I started thinking, then why such comments from my roommates for example, when he tells me stuff like, to bad you're gay, because you'd get any woman you want, or well, high school I had a lot of girls whos heart I had to break. I have been told by the popular girls in school ( i know it sounds cliche but it is true) that I was the only not ridiculous man in school and once one of the girls asked me to participate in a modeling event with her, which I did. Funny thing is that even after this, physical beauty is something that I don't look to much into people. When I worry about my appearance mostly I am worrying that it looks clean, not beautiful but clean, to show my good sense of hi-gene. Luckily I have a sister in fashion who loves buying me cloths so I am always in good fashion ( when I don't even understand fashion). What else, despite being gay and friendly and positive, I don't pass as flamboyant, they tell me I am just full of energy. I am friendly, I like to go out with friends, watch movies, read a lot of books and I get good grades. I come from a nice, inteligent nuclear family, open minded family with a good background and good manners. i am a very good gentleman. I don't have any health problems, I am in good physical condition. good financial position and I smile a lot with perfect teeth ( the dentist said I had the teeth the way they should all be and that I did not need any braces) But today it all hit me suddenly, halfway through the day I became obsolete I stopped everything I was doing and started feeling this horrible sadness and then I realized what my life had been and I believe it is about time I should have some relationship. Another thing is that I can't never tell when someone is flirting with me, and my friends never tell me if there is anyone interested in me. I know it was a long description and I realize I sound very egotistical. But please forgive me this once for talking so high about myself ( a thing I cautiously avoid) but I never do it, and since this is the problem that I am having I had to live my pride behind and tell you how it is. Please any suggestions any answers will be welcome, but please serious answers, I feel very delicate at the moment. Thanks for taking your time to read this. more

Resolved Question: Does it suck to have your birthday over the summer?

Everyone's on vacation, you lose touch with classmates, some friends move away.... i almost feel like my birthday is gonna suck. When in school it is easy to invite people... but out of school.. Its harder to find people who are available. Plus, I haven't made contact with a lot of friends over the summer... we sorta lose touch over time. The worst part is, half of the kids are going to different schools since I'm going from middle school to high school. It's pointless to invite people I'm never going to see again. Any thoughts to make me feel better? I'm not miss popular in school... I've only got 7 friends coming so far and my birthday is in 4 days!!! UGHHH i hate summer birthdays :*( more
