[QUOTE=Raina][COLOR=Blue] when we kiss, we hit our teeth... [/COLOR][/QUOTE] there's always going to be akward things like that at first, but eventually you should get used to kissing eachother, and you will feel like when you kiss, you are perfectly in sinc. Just a head's up for you though, if you're the one who ends up getting dumped, it hurts like hell freezing over. So, if you're the one who ends up doing the dumping, do it very carefully and kindly. Other than that, enjoy your moments together and just laugh it off when akward stuff happens, trust me, you'll both look back on it months from now when you've surpassed that stuff and it will be freaking hillarious. [QUOTE=Raina][COLOR=Blue] It's nearly 2 months since we started dating. And my 20th birthday is coming up. So, do you guys think that it would be okay, if we went "all the way"? [/COLOR][/QUOTE] My advice would be to wait longer. Losing your virginity is a huge milestone in your life, but sex tends to incredibly complicate relationships. I myself am still a virgin, but i was with my last boyfriend for 6 months and was seriously considering giving my virginity to him...lets just say that i'm glad i held out for a few months longer because i found out that he was a total jerk. Also, every single one of my non-virgin friends say that sex isnt even that enjoyable, so its basically only going to get you severely emotionally attatched and him wanting to do "the deed" alot. (atleast in most cases, i'm not trying to stereotype your relationship because i do not know you.) I'd say wait for a couple more months and then see how you feel about things.

In my family, we do the cake and balloons and presents and all of that jazz, but the fun part is my grandma. She makes everyone (adults and children) in our family a "Goodie Box" which is any random box that has exactly 7 presents inside wrapped with the newspaper's comic section. They are usually gag gifts and are always from garage sales, the fun is all in opening them. But, there are a few rules: 1) EVERYONE in the family must be there to watch you open them 2) You must ALWAYS open the card first 3) You must check every present before opening it to make sure it doesn't say "Open Last" on it. 4) The present is NEVER what the box its inside says it is. Also, after singing the happy birthday song, we have the birthday person stand up and tell us their age, and then we sing them some song about an old gray mare.. My family is kindof eccentric.

My father is one of the unlucky pilots who works for Delta airlines. he's been with the company for 15 years and is a captain. He no longer has the penchant that he was promised from the company, and my parents have been taking money out of my college fund to pay the bills. Since he made captain, he lost the seniority he had over the other co-pilots, so his schedule sucks. He mainly flies to Germany, Hawaii, California, Ireland, and England, and is usually gone for atleast 3 weeks a month, and he won't be home for any holidays this year. Since he's gone all the time and my sister's off at college, its usually just me and my mom at the house. Its seems very empty compared to what it was last year. My mom used to work in the pentagon in the P.O.W. department, but she left that job a couple years back and now is a Media Paraprofessional ("library lady") at a highschool in my county. Its kind of weird because i know a bunch of kids who go to her school and they're always like: i saw your mom today! and then when they haven't met her yet and they do, they're like: "holy schneikes! that lady works at my school!" Its kindof weird, i suppose.

[quote name='indifference][COLOR=DeepSkyBlue']What I don?t understand is if you know she has a history of stealing why you would take something you consider important with you to her house.[/color][/quote] It was a glass whale about 1 inch in size and I had it in my purse...i had no idea that A) she would ever steal anything non-retail, B) that she would even want it anyway, or C) if she even knew of its existence. Thus, I have brought about my own demise..ahh. [quote name='indifference][COLOR=DeepSkyBlue']Though I would double check your home to make sure it?s not laying around somewhere as I?m sure the store you spoke of sells more than one. Though it sounds like that isn?t the case here.[/COLOR][/quote] Yes, it is not the case. My sister purchased this in a corny little town modeled to look like a German town, which is filled with nick nack shops and tubing places, and is approximately 2 or 3 hours away from where we live. I think I left that out before... [quote name='indifference][COLOR=DeepSkyBlue']You can try talking to her parents but chances are they aren?t going to want to hear that their daughter is a thief. Parents tend to either deny that their child has issues or they will make their kid give the stuff back.[/COLOR][/quote] When she got caught shoplifting at the mall, Nordstrom's called her parents, so they know about her shoplifting, and got no punishment besides that now, she's not allowed to go to the mall without supervision..and her mom asked her to give her all the things she had stolen, but she only gave her a few things from the mass amount that fills her closet and droors. [quote name='indifference][COLOR=DeepSkyBlue']So at this point you have to decide which is more important. The item or your friendship. If it?s the item. Just make a point of going to her house, take it and leave. If it?s her friendship, let it go and make a point of never bringing anything you value over to her place. And try to keep the times she?s at your place down as well. Unless you can somehow hide everything important to you. Though that can be a pain to do.[/COLOR][/quote] See, I really did value this friendship before, but after she has stolen something from me, I really can't trust her ever again. And without trust, there is no friendship, right? But I'm not sure if she really knows its mine or not..I blatantly told her it was mine though, but maybe she really thinks that it isnt? I've pretty much decided that the best way to get it back is to just take it. But how do I do so without it being [strong]completely[/strong] obvious that I took it? That way, it might not completely ruin the friendship? I don't know if its even worth it. I think she [strong]does[/strong] have a problem with stealing, sometimes she would even steal things that she didn't even want..but I never expected her to ever steal from me. [QUOTE=Tical Blue] Not long after he got back, my bro and I were looking through the cards to show him my bro's Charizard (any Pokemon collector knows Charizard was the **** back in the day). Of course, we can't find the Charizard anywhere even after looking through our binders. Later, everyone had left the house and we still hadnt found it. Hours later the kids dad comes bearing the Charizard. Apparently the kid told his dad he 'traded a Nidoking for it' and his dad didn't think it sounded right. [/QUOTE] Aw man, This little kid in my neighborhood did that kind of thing too back in the day. He stole a bunch of cards from my friend, (among those a holographic Machamp, not as nice as the Charizard, but still pretty high up there) who lived next door to him, and when they told his mom, she refused to beleive it and told us to leave her kid alone. Thus a war went down and our whole street still pretty much doesn't get along, just because that crazy mother wouldn't make her spoiled little son give the cards back.

Over the summer, my dear sister went on a day trip and she brought me back this miniature glass whale that she purchased at a glass shop. I liked it so much i convinced myself that it was lucky and took it everywhere...before a week was up, i had already lost it. ANYWAY, this weekend i was sleeping over at one of my friends house, and what do i see on her bedside table? my little glass whale. So I ask her, "Oh hey, is that my whale?" and shes all like: "No, I found this at my house." I remember now that i had slept over at her house a few days after I recieved the whale, and I hadn't seen it since then, so I tell her that I left it at her house, and she says "Well, I just find stuff sometimes," and refuses to give it back to me. This girl happens to have a history of stealing, she just got caught shoplifting at the mall 2 or 3 weeks ago, and I know she had stolen an incredible amount of items before that..but she said that she would never ever steal from a person or one of her friends. I don't know why, but i seem to be unlucky with this kind of stuff. In kindergarten and first grade, my best friend stole stuff from me all the time and even black mailed me into giving her all our mock money we got for good behavior to buy prizes at the end of each semester by saying she wouldn't be my friend anymore. So, my questions are: A) How do i get the whale back? and B) Have you ever had a person you considered a friend or any person you even knew steal things from you?

[quote name='Split Keyblader']Brown matches black.[/quote] haha you are probably the ONLY person whom I have ever met who actually agrees with me on that... ANYWAY: my room has bright orange walls and a white ceiling and cream colored carpets. I have a nice loft bed and a big mess all over the floor. Plus my dresser, and bedside table are still left over from my baby furniture. However, ever since i took Interior Design class last year, i've had this dream to paint my walls a chocolate brown and replace my baby furniture with some white furnishing and put some white curtains around the bottom of my mattress so i can have a little cave-like thing underneath my bed and i'm gonna put a white couch underneath there too.

Haha when i first read the post topic, I thought this was going to be some haunted house story :animeswea People can be so rude & inconsiderate & selfish sometimes. I have two dogs, & i have never in my life expected anyone to sleep over at my house to watch them for me when I go out of town. Instead, I'll hire somebody to come over and let them out to the bathroom 3-5 times a day and feed them once around 6 o clock. My family & I recently went out of town for a week and we payed my cousin 100 bucks to do just that..but we ended up coming back early because of extenuating circumstances, and payed him what we would of for one full week, because that is what he was expecting. & we didnt expect him to look after our plants or clean our dishes or any of that kind of bull. These people not only took advantage of your service, but also cancelled those services and expect YOU to pay THEM for it. No no no, life doesn't work that way. If you had cancelled the last two days, then you should pay them for it, but THEY fired YOU, so you get to keep the extra dough. I've had people simply cancel a babysitting job they needed me to do a day before the job, and, despite my genuine and earnest protesting, they gave me the money for it anyway. But, i suppose since they are friends of your moms, you should maybe give them between 30 to 60 bucks (about the price of one day since you worked the extra night) back to be the bigger person. Plus, they sound like the kind that would slander your name around the neighborhood..so you might want to ease the bad blood as much as possible to keep them from jeopardizing any future gigs you might want in the baby/house/dog sitting business. hope you figure out the right decision..thats a tough one to make.

One day at the beginning of this summer i weighed myself only to realize that i weighed 150 pounds. It kindof sketched me out so I checked up on it online, and it told me that I was over weight This in addition to my then boyfriend saying that I would look alot better if i was skinnier and the ringing in of swimsuit season drew me to do something about it. I started working out almost every day, I cut soda out of my diet and tried to eat healthier (beleive me this was really hard because I love fried foods and chocolate fudge brownies...for any meal.) So I made simple changes such as eating wheat bread verses white, and fruits instead of snack food, and I made it a point to eat a healthy breakfast everyday. ANYWAY I now weigh about 138 and my goal is to reach the 120s. I started the special k diet last week and i love it. It tastes really good & i'm really excited to see if it works out. & I still make it a point to workout atleast twice a week. But the point is, I don't care what other people think about my weight, I am doing this specifically for me. I want to feel healthier and better about myself, so instead of moping around, I'm doing something to refine my life. [QUOTE][B]Originally Posted by Leon Fury [/B] The doctors say I have a very high motabolism, I dont know if that factors into weight or not.[/QUOTE] Yes metabolism can be a big factor in weight. It determines how fast your body burns off the energy it consumes. My dad and my sister both have high metabolisms like you and can eat whatever they want whenever they want without a flucuation in weight. & I hope you're parents will get over their suspicions of you having anorexia..that must majorly suck.

c'mon guys, pirates would totally beat out ninjas in a fight. if a ninja tried to karate chop a cannon ball, he'd totally get owned in the face.

[QUOTE] Originally posted by Indifference. You must be joking, blaming the kids for being molested? I?d like to remind you that by the law they are kids and not even legally able to be considered responsible. Predators know that they are young, inexperienced and many of them are masters at manipulating the children to eventually gain their trust. It?s a double standard to tell kids that they aren?t considered mature enough to be an adult until they are 18 and then to turn around and tell them it?s their fault if someone abused them. [/QUOTE] Now, keep in mind i'm not talking about any random child picked up by deciet on the internet. I'm talking about those girls who put up headlines like "its nice...to be naughty" with pictures of themselves scantily clad on their web pages. You can't say that they just didnt know any better. Behaivior such as that is asking for that kind of attention. go on myspace and browse around. i can guarantee that 75% of every underage user on there has innapropriate and self degrading things on their sites, AND overexaggerate their age saying they're 20 or older. (my 12 year old neighbor down the street said she was 22 and all the little girls on her friends list had similar ages.) Just look at a few and you'll see my point for blaming them. SO, if i were to put up pictures of myself dressed like a slut and overexaggerate my age on the internet and put up buddy icons all over my page suggesting sexual innuendos, i'll never get picked up by a child molestor, will I? That is why in those cases, I shed some blame to them. Its common sense that you don't lie about your age and wear revealing clothes. Its common sense that such things will get you the wrong kind of attention, girls like THAT are asking for it. Oh, and thanks for the page, I thought that boys were [I]generally[/I] molested by people they know or random predators, not people who find them on the internet.

Pagan, you make a very good point in your research results. While the online predators are in the wrong for approaching the underage girls (or boys in some very rare cases), the kids aren't really helping to keep them away either, in some cases are even posting pictures, quotes, and titles on their sites that practically encourages a predator to find out where they live and molest them. One of my little 13 year old cousin's friends from school had "its nice...to be naughty" as her myspace screen name, and countless others had innapropriate profile images and/or remarks under their "about me" section. Seeing things like this on little girl's web pages infuriated me and caused me to delete my own myspace a little under two months ago as an escape from all the "what is the world coming to?" revelations. It makes me go nearly ballistic to see these kids trying to grow up way too fast and drawing negative attention from possibly dangerous "friends" as a result. The idea of children their age even having or needing a myspace seems ludacris to me. However, the otakuboards is unsurprisingly different. It is designed as a forum, a place for discussion, unlike myspace, which seems to be designed to exploit oneself. Well, not really i suppose, but that is what it has become. You post pictures of yourself in hopes that others leave comments on your appearance, you get as many friends as possible (even in some cases complete strangers who you have never met and will never have any conversation nor connection to) and put a bunch of personal information on your personal site and leave comments on other "friends" personal sites. however keep in mind that i'm not talking about the space's forum section or anything, because over the duration of the rough year and a half i was a member, i never really experimented with the forum part much. ANYWAY, my point is that yes, the kids are also to blame for whatever evil becomes of them by being promiscuous on the internet, and yes, activity on forums like the otakuboards is less likely to get you molested than activity on myspace. But really, myspace is not the person to blame, the blame that everyone seems to pin on myspace should be shifted over to the kids themselves and their parents. The kids are the ones ignorantly attracting the attention of predators and the parents are the ones not monitoring their kids enough. (i am not saying that the predators themselves should not be blamed, the full blame goes to them for being perverts.)

[quote name='Tical']TOSITCS[/quote] two omlets sizzle inside the cooking stove. JDSOGJ

catholics get made fun of all the time. and bunches of people even hate us or misconstrue our beleifs. I am a catholic and, trust me, i never hear the end of that whole "molestor bishops" scandal or how i'm not even a christian because i "worship" the virgin mary. then again, the only thing that seriously enrages me about these statements is the fact that the person saying them has no clue what they are talking about. so, instead of getting mad about it, i simply tell them what they have wrong, explain to them what happens to be reality in the situations they are referring to, then get on with my life. jokes aren't supposed to be offensive..they're just supposed to make people laugh. (and believe me, i laugh at alot of catholic jokes, they can be hillarious) all you have to learn to do is not to take yourself (i'm not saying your religion, because that is serious.) too seriously. these offensive remarks also come into existance because many people don't understand or know what the morman religion is all about. I know that i sure don't. All i know is that you're required to go to mass alot and theres something to do with some guy named john smith, and you have to keep food in your house...ANYWAY, people fear things that they don't know about, and they try to reject their fears by poking fun at it, or attacking it in order to build a strong defense. so when you hear people talking about your religion badly, maybe just tell them that you're morman, and explain why you do what they're critisizing..therefore turning their ignorant remarks into knowledge about someone elses traditions or beleifs.

i'm not too sure how to train dogs not to kill small animals...but i trained my dogs to heel when i walk them by saying heel, yanking them to my ankle, then twirling the leash in front of the both of you, then the dog usually has enough sense not to step too far forward..cuz it knows its gonna get hit in the snout. if you do this for a while, eventually the dog with know to heel on its own when you say heel, without the twirling end of the leash.

[quote name='Tical']i remember when I was very small learning the alphabet. I thought elemenowpee was one letter. [/quote] i definitely thought that too...XD I always thought that when it was your birthday, you automatically got to advance to the next grade at school. So, the day after my 6th birthday, i was screaming and crying as my mom dragged me to the same classroom as i had been in for the last couple of months. I was also under the misconseption that if i didn't like somebody's name, i could just change it myself, so people named fred became thread and so on. ohp, and there was a crocodile that lived under my bed so i refused to climb into it without using a long wooden board as a ramp to avoid getting eaten.

on my sixteenth birthday, i got to go to the dentist. then my ditzy dentist let my stupid friend eat flouride..and she ended up throwing up my birthday cake. lets just say it was a less than perfect evening.

what i look for in a guy is personality, and it also helps if he isnt completely horrible looking, but then again, the guys with the good personalities also look alot better once you get to know them. its also good if they're funny and nice and chivalrious to some extent. also its really cute when guys tell girls that they have beautiful eyes...and also i think most of us girls prefer it when a guy tells us we're beautiful verses being told we're hot, but i dont know, that might just be me.

[B]i personally wouldnt ever get one[/B], but i beleive it should remain legal. it is a human right, and even if it made illegal people who need or want one will find ways to get it done. for example, marijuana is illegal and people still smoke it, so if getting an abortion was made illegal, and some one needed it done, they would find someway to get it done. besides, they already have it illegal to get it done if you've been pregnant for a certain amount of time, so the fetus can't be too far along on its way of being completely human. there are many other options, however, but i beleive it is a personal issue and if somebody wants an abortion i beleive they should have the right to get one.

i'd probably say my friends or my sister. i dont get along at all with my parents, and i really dont tell them anything thats going on with my life. so far i've relied on my sister with the stuff i dont trust others with, and my friends for the stuff i dont trust her with, and i suppose i get by ok.

[color=silver] [size=0] I have played soccer since 1st grade, and it has to be my favorite sport. I usually play center midfield(my best & favorite position), but i can play any position well if my soccer coach wants me to play there. I played a game yesterday, and we lost 5-1, b/c we have alot of younger kids on our team who are playing up a league, and neither of our regular goalies showed up to the game. But i still had alot of fun, even tho we lost (the team I was on last year won every game with 9 goals)[/color] [/size]
