Open Question: my BFF GOT DUMPED BY TWO GUYS AND WANTS TO MAKE MY LIFE MISERABLE?
my bff and i were walking down the hall after she came to pick me up from my classrm and we saw my crush standin in the corner and when he saw me coming, he walked over to where i was approaching and my bff TT whispered, "Don't look at him! He's a hoe!" And I said, "What?" Then he stared at me and started licking his lips and TT said, "Damn! He's a freak!" Then she pushed me towards him as if she was upset and backed away from me. I was thinking, why did she push me like that and walk away with her head down? So I just smiled at my crush and kept walking and I looked behind me and saw TT just standing there looking sad, so i dragged her with me. When we saw him again, TT hit my butt with her bag and my crush was starin at it and she said to him, "I know u want her a lot." and when we left and were on the bus, she said that she hates that guys wanna have their cake and eat it too cuz she got dumped by two guys recently. and she said that my crush is a hoe and he's cheating on me. then she kept ignoring me when i was talking, lookin at me from the side of her eye like she was jealous of me and her mouth was clenched shut. do u think she's lying about my crush? and is she jealous?
moreOpen Question: How do you feel about tipping?
In Britain It seems to be getting like America now, in that it is becoming socially unacceptable to not leave a tip when you go to a restaurant, especially if it’s in London. I am not from London, however I go down to London every once in a while, and when I do, it seems that everyone down there is expected to tip. For example the last time I was down there, I went to this South American themed restaurant in north London. There I was served by this charming, yet frustrating waiter who could barely speak English, and made several blunders.
He reminded of Manual out of Fawlty Towers. After everyone had finished eating this guy came over counted the money, and then stood there momentarily staring at everyone pathetically. One of my friends then said “oh the tip” and everyone had to fork out even more money. I went away feeling like I had been totally screwed.
I almost had a heart attack when I got the bill for the meal; the tip was the icing on the cake. I mean its not like was eating caviar and lobster and stuff like that, all I had was a starter some pasta a dessert and a few glasses of wine, and it come to almost fifty quid. Maybe I’ve been going to the wrong places, but it seems as though the cost of eating out in London, in terms of what you get for your money, relative to other places is ridiculously high. Even outside of London it seems to be becoming more and more unacceptable to not leave a tip.
Call me a cheap skate, but I don’t understand why it is that people in this country should as a matter of course be expected to tip. It’s not like in America where the guys working in restaurants receive, virtually no income other than in the form of tips. People, who work in restaurants over here, get at least minimum wage. There are loads of people on minimum wage; you don’t tip people who work in chip shops or McDonalds-why not they serve food.
To everyone else out there how do you feel about the practice of tipping?

9 Things I Hate About Everyone
1. People who point at their wrist while asking for the time.. I know where my watch is pal, where the hell is yours? Do I point at my crotch when I ask where the toilet is?
2 People who are willing to get off their butt to search the entire room for the T.V. remote because they refuse to walk to the T.V. and change the channel manually.
3 When people say 'Oh you just want to have your cake and eat it too'. Damn right! What good is cake if you can't eat it?
4 When people say 'it's always the last place you look'. Of course it is. Why the hell would you keep looking after you've found it? Do people do this? Who and where are they? Gonna Kick their butts!
5 When people say while watching a film 'did you see that?'. No Loser, I paid £6 to come to the cinema and stare at the damn floor.
6 People who ask 'Can I ask you a question?'... Didn't really give me a choice there, did ya sunshine?
7 . When something is 'new and improved!'. Which is it? If it's new, then there has never been anything before it. If it's an improvement, then there must have been something before it, couldn't be new.
8 When people say 'life is short'. What the hell?? Life is the longest damn thing anyone ever does!! What can you do that's longer?
9 When you are waiting for the bus and someone asks 'Has the bus come yet?'. If the bus came would I be standing here, dumbass?

moreOpen Question: Do i have a sleep disorder?
i asked this a while ago but i didn't get very many answers. i know its really long.. you don't have to read it all.
ok so my entire life i have gone to bed very late.. that just the way my family is just like that.. so since my toddler years i have been going to bed after midnight.. i don't know if that has anything to do with this though..
the problem is that i sleep walk.. not very often anymore.. but it still happens.. and its not like regular sleep walking because i am able to intelligently communicate with people and do things in quite a sane manner. i always remember everything i did and said.. i find this strange because they say that you don't remember sleep walking. its like i wake up and everything is normal except i have no control over myself.. its like something else is controlling me.
it first started when i was around 3 or 4 years old.. i ran into my mom's room at about 4 in the morning in the morning and told her that the cake was burning in the oven. "what cake?" she asked.. i replied that it was the cake i was trying to make for her but i couldn't get it out of the oven because it was too hot. she even looked in the oven.. but of course there was no cake. another time when i was around the same age i went downstairs in the very early morning before anyone was awake. i had seen my mother go downstairs(she hadn't actually moved so i must have been dreaming or hallucinating) i went looking for her, but i couldn't find her. i started crying tried to go outside. my mom heard me and was able to take me back to bed.
these incidents have continued into my teen life however they are not as often as they were before.. they usually happen around 4-8 in the morning. now it almost happens when i am at home, only when i am at somebody else's house or a hotel. fortunately there has always been someone there to help me back to bed.
one time it happened to nights in a row. the first night was actually more like 7am.. i was a brides maid at my sister's wedding and all of the brides maids were sleeping at my sister's house the night before the wedding.. well i woke everyone up at 7am and told them that jack(i don't know anyone named jack) was here. i said that he had just pulled in his truck and was waiting for me. then after about 5 minutes of arguing with everyone that jack was really there i collapsed on the floor and was immediately back to sleep.
the next night(after the wedding) i was in a hotel room with my parents. it was around 4:30am when i got up and tried to exit the hotel room.. it was dark and i couldn't see well so i crashed into somethings which then woke my mom up. she caught me just when i was trying to unlock the door. she knew that this happens to me sometimes so she just tried to get me to go back to bed. i had me by the shoulders but i broke free terrified and ran to the window. i tried to open it and jump out.. the whole time saying that i came in threw the window and i was sorry. i hadn't stolen anything and i would leave. i would go out the window because that's where i came in from.. then i kept repeating "I'm sorry I'm sorry i sorry. the window the window the window!" soon i was become weak and able to stand and i laid down in bed again. still saying that i was sorry.
these things have happened to me alot over the years and some have been very dangerous for me. is this some kind of sleep disorder? is it common? by the way i am a female teen if that makes a difference.
thanks.
s.lovisa thanks for your answer. it may be something like that. however i rarely feel tired during the day and hardly ever fall asleep or black out during every day activities. the last part of your answer sound just like me though. i do feel paralyzed very often when i wake up, and i often experiance very vivid halucinations when i am in "trying to fall alseep" mode. thanks for your help.

He is playing dirty because he bought me a stand mixer for Christmas. I know I can send him cookies and cakes on the boat but I need the most fattening (and tasty) recipes to send to him because if I win, I get to go to max out the credit card at Saks and if he wins he gets to re-decorate the living room.... in other words, HE CANT WIN!
moreResolved Question: Suicide Season is over ?
Is Suicide Season over?
The past 3 days I have been miserable, I can't stand the Holidays and the cherry on the cake is New Years. All I can think about on New Years is not being alone at home and my New Year fire fight I had in Afghanistan. I wont go on a rant about the past.
I went into a really bad depression and tried to seek God a couple minutes after New Year. I thought about Job and all the shit he went through. then out of nowhere my GF calls to tell me about her new boy friend on New Years. This sends me into a deeper spiral and Fireworks are legal in Florida so I wont go outside to hear the popping outside because i start to tear up.
I been praying to God for sometime now all im expecting is the touch on my face of a lover that i can connect with.
The only time God has ever responded to me was when a Cobra Helicopter was blown up in front of me and rounds were expending and I cussed him out and went running across an airfield to get to wounded. I felt something shield me from the rounds and twisting metal.
Do I have to cuss God out again to stop feeling this way? Or should I take a trip in person to go visit him? Can I expect to be in a place where memories and people didn't exist?
Job is my favorite biblical character for a while now. Christians if you can give me answers with this character ill be happy to hear them.
Atheist and others if you can give me more answers on what I can do maybe stop praying and become one with center? Suicide?
(please dont get into arguements with eachother on this question. I want everyones view on my situation and thier belifes play in it.)
PS: I am seeing a doctor today for this.
Thanks in advance.

moreOpen Question: Memories of TV as a 5yr old - does this movie exist?
I saw a small bit of this movie in 1994 so it could be from any time before then. It was in colour. (We saw it in malaysia but the only dialogue was in English)
It's a girl's birthday, she's told to wait in a room, and they lock her in while preparing her cake etc. She is in a white room with a TV. Something starts coming out of the TV and stretching towards her (possibly a pale face). She tries to get out of the room but it's locked. The friends let her out and she's pale faced. There is a birthday cake in front of her and her friends/family start singing happy birthday, the lighting is grey and creepy. The girl's mouth drops open and her teeth grow long (before dropping out?). She turns into a zombie. There's scenes of zombies trying to get at uninfected people, and a shot of a zombie dog trying to bite a woman, who's gotten out of reach by either standing on a table or climbing up a pole.......
Any help would be appreciated!
It's definately not polterguest or the ring, also the birthday scene with her teeth growing out is clearest in my memory. So if you're thinking of a movie where happy birthday is not sung at some point, it's not that one.
moreVoting Question: What do you think of my story?
If its got ITALICS before it then its in italicx; x
-----------
ITALICS It’s a few hours before the big campout, and I can’t wait. Julie, Annabel, Maddie and I are going into the woods alone, it’s going to be scary but still so fun! It seems so cliche, a load of kids going into the woods, ha! As if anything would happen, who goes into the woods apart from dog walkers anyway!\
Ella stopped at her door, and allowed a small smile. Downstairs, she could hear her older sister moaning about something. It was probably about her new diet. Ellas’ mum didn’t like the idea of any of her daughters dieting - being a sufferer of anorexia when she was only thirteen, her mother had forced her two daughters to overeat for years, resulting in obesity in both Ella and her older sister. Ella heard the doorbell ring, and jumped up from her bed and to the top of the stairs.
“Mum!” Ella shouted down the stairs, “mum, get the door!”
Ella disappeared back into her room and waited for her mum to answer the door and welcome her friends in, “Julie, dear – really. You need fed up sweetheart! Actually come on in all of you, I’ll make you something nice,” Ella heard her mum say softly.
“For crying out loud,” she muttered, “mum! Get off my friends backs. Julie, Annie, Maddie – come here!”
Sounds of running and giggling came up the stairs, and Ellas’ door was thrown open.
“Your mum is so weird!” Annabel said, displaying her usual use of “open-mindedness” as she liked to call it.
“Shut up Annie,” Julie said, sitting next to Ella and shooting Annie a very dirty look. “anyway, are you ready?”
“Sure am,” Ella replied, jumping up and grabbing her suitcase, “let’s go…before my mum makes us all eat some cake or something,”
ITALICS We left the house quickly, after Ella stopped arguing with her stupid older sister, Mary. I hate Mary … she’s so perfect. She looks a bit like Annie, straight blonde hair, big blue eyes…you know the sort, Apart from Annie knows how to take a joke. Well, sometimes anyway. In the end me and Maddie had to literally pull Ella off on Mary. Ha!
They left the house, joking and laughing. Ella looked at Annie and felt a surge of anger. Whenever Ella and Mary had an argument Annie had to take Marys side. Just because Mary was pretty and she wore her extra weight well. It made her look curvy, Ella’s extra weight made her look frumpy and lazy.
They planned to camp out in the woods, as many teenagers seem to think it a good idea. Ok, Ella’s mum didn’t really want her to but Ella had managed to convince her that it was perfectly safe, and that Maddies mum was coming, ha! As if, how boring would that be!
The small group of teenagers walked for about ten minutes in silence before they reached the woods. Annie was moaning because her white boots were getting muddy and it was annoying Julie, Ella could tell.
She was right, “Look. Annie, if it’s annoying you so bloody much then go back, we’ve got another half an hour to go yet.”
“What! Why can’t we camp out right here,!” Annie cried, “Why do we have to go right in the middle. There could be werewolves,”
Stupid blonde, Ella thought.
“Werewolves! Are you a complete idiot, Annie – there’s no such thing and I’m not hanging around on the edge incase some weird man is going for a stroll and spots us, got it!”
Annie put on her huffy face which she doesn’t realize, but it makes her look incredibly pathetic. Ella tried not to laugh as Annie folded her arms and dragged her feet along the floor like a three year old.
And yet out of the lot of them, Annie looked the oldest, with her high cheekbones, and mature face she didn’t look thirteen. More like sixteen. Ella was so jealous of her friend, she was stuck with a baby face and chubby cheeks like a toddler. Maddie and Julie looked very similar. They were both tall, with bouncy curls. They could have been sisters, the only difference was the colour of their hair – Maddie was a brunette and Julie was a proud ginger.
Finally, they reached the place where they were going to be camping. Julie had picked the spot, stopping suddenly and dropping her bag, declaring this was where they would be sleeping
“This will be fine,” she said.
But Ella didn’t like it, there was something in the air that just seemed unnatural. As she looked at her three friends unpacking their bags and chatting, she felt a sudden breeze of cold air.
Ella breathed in deeply and an unexpected smell of cold air surged through her. It wasn’t what she expexted – the smell of pinecones and earth – no, this was a smell that made Ella think she shouldn’t be there.
The darkness was closing in on Ella and her friends as Ella watched them struggle to put up a tent, as Julie pushed Annie out the way, as the tent began to look more like a tent then a pile of poles and material, but she wasn’t really watching. Her eyes kept sliding in slowly. Everything started to spin as Ella struggled to stand still and swallowed deep. But she

moreResolved Question: I'm going to get heat for this, oh well.....? ?
Isn't it funny that people come here to complain about the people or the religion they can not stand? Honestly, why come to the one place you can't stand? You hate religion so much, but yet you're here more than religious and spiritual people. Just by looking at the threads, we all know that non-believers have taken over the R$S section and then ask "should religion be in the myth threads?" Come on, why on earth are you here? Yea, I get it. It's an open thread, but I'm not going to go to the baking section and start talking about how sweets sucks and you're delusional for making cakes. Also, non-believers come here, ask questions to christians or even other religions and then block you for answering their question.The last thing I want to do is argue with others. That's pointless. So my question is, why come here if you don't believe?
I can already feel the heat that I may get for asking this question. But it's cool. I can handle it. It's just the internet.
Have a great evening and happy new year to you all!! :)
It doesn't bother me. Just a question. If you cant asnwer it, fine. Sorry you can't handle it.
Last time I checked, i said it was an open thread and I knew that. So you said nothing new.
"Atheism is connected to spirituality and religion, and therefore we have the right to some here."
Please explain how they are connected if they have NO belief??? There is NO connection.
No complaints here. Just questions. If you confuse the two, then I feel sorry for you.
No flab...Satan cant make me do anything and nor do I say that he causes every bad thing that happens.

My older half-sister (she moved in with her real dad when I was 8 and we haven't kept contact) she had a small baby (she does not have a baby in real life). I never saw her pregnant or anything we were just at the mall (huge mall) and we were standing in a extemely long line and she had that baby with her in a baby seat thing. Everytime the baby cried I tried to pick it up and comfort it, it would wiggle around and scream and everytime I tried to put him back down I was worry about not having support for his head. My sister didn't worry at all about the baby even when he crawled away! I was never angry at the behavior at the baby I just tried to take care of him while we are in line and ppl look back at us like we're crazy.
Then I remember being out of line with my dad and one of my other sisters (younger and full sister) and my dad was trying to buy 2 big packages of butter. the young men behind the counter just ignored him and said "thats not butter its cheese cake" and my dad says "idc i want those." They eventually give us the cheese cakes (i have no idea why my dad kept saying it was butter). And as they argued I was looking the the Humongous cheese cakes they were carrying around.
Then I remember being in like a huge office room (where the long line before led to) and people were in there looking down on some papers. I looked on the computer by me and it was like a cartoon earth and stuff and I walk by a huge book and brush my hand against it. This Huge fat woman see's me and yells at me saying that i "stole" that book. I argue with her tellign her and everyone around me that I didn't do anything! I get more and more angry at everyone in the room who remain to stay silent (except the fat woman) And I'm in a rage and I dont know what I do but I think I scream and throw a fit.
Then thats all I remember. The things I noticed is that many things seemed big to me (i was regular size) and the baby always misbehaved but I didn't loose my temper until the woman accused me. What does this dream mean? 10 points for the most detail thank you.
moreResolved Question: How to stop this bad work pattern of making someone into my enemy and be happy?
I've never really been happy at a job. One pattern I perceive in myself, which I believe is destructive and at the crux of my unhappiness, is that I tend to target one person and get increasingly annoyed at him or her. As time goes on, I will detest him or her for their mere presence. If she says something, it immediately grates against me. This person can sense this, and starts to see me as an antagonist or opponent, or someone who doesn't like them. And here's the key-- while I truly feel averse, strongly dislike the person, I will never do anything against them. I just haven't picked up the political skill/ habit/ behavior/ pattern of actually ever hurting anyone or saying things against them. I just find that difficult to do, even then I myself am being attacked. I'm antagonizing this person and making it completely transparent to them that I dislike them, yet I won't be doing anything about it. I'll be just stewing and simmering and suffering on my own about it.
Meanwhile, she, aware of my dislike, will take stabs and cuts at me whenever she gets the chance. Covertly, insidiously, by subtle ways. And I get in all sorts of trouble, I get criticized, I can work well and do a stellar job 90% of the time but she'll notice this 10% when I'm slacking or taking a well-deserved break, and draw attention to it and magnify it somehow so that it looks like I'm always doing a poor job, somehow make this minor percent of the time look like the majority, make it look like the whole or entire time. This is just one recent example. I'll get attacked, quietly, by this person, and it seems on the one hand perfectly reasonable-- of course she's like that, because I hate her and she hates me-- but on the other hand, I realize that I'm bringing this on myself, because my air/ atmosphere/ mood when she is around reveals to her quite clearly that I don't like her and find her annoying and stupid and don't care what she has to say, and if only I could get over it and just --ugh!! be friends with her somehow, I think a lot of my work unhappiness would go away.
But I just can't bring myself to do it, especially since she takes every opportunity to affirm that she doesn't like me, to reinforce the dislike. I've never done a thing bad to her, but she finds so many opportunities to dig at me, like she'll pass around cake to everyone but me, and I get the feeling in many small ways that I'm not even aware of, that was a trivial example, but she scrapes away at me in her spare time, which is plentiful. And I feel like I just can't win, and people talk about not wanting to go to work on monday, but I feel like, my experience of being at my job is a constant, searing, low-boiling agony, there's always this level of pain and torture present. Every moment I am there, sometimes, it seems like I am just tolerating this pain, and it all becomes focused around this one person whom I identify as the source of my pain. I've done this in just about every job I've had-- one person, I identify, as someone whom I just can't stand, whom I despise deeply and thoroughly, and all my unhappiness will be centered or clustered around this person and their very existence.
How do I fix this?

Dear diary
Monday, September 3rd, 2001
Senior school, is not how I thought it would be. Firstly, I didn’t get my head flushed down the toilet, a definite achievement. Or maybe that was just a rumour. Secondly, the teachers aren’t that bad, more strict than my primary school teachers, I could get away with murder there, but not that bad. The school is huge, there are so many people, but I’m sure I will get used to it all. I was sat in class today, on my own, when two girls came up to me, asked me to sit with them and I did, in fact I spent all day with them. It will be a change for me, not spending my breaks and dinners alone. My primary school was very small, and the children in my class all kept away from me. When I made friends with anybody, the next day they would completely ignore me after being told to keep away from me, that’s what you get for living in West Bridge estate. I live in a two up two down terraced house on a run down council estate with a very high crime rate, with my Mother, and her boyfriend, Steve. I sleep in a cold, damp room, on a worn out mattress which I took from the local tip. But if I complain, I get my head kicked in by either my Mother or Steve. I don’t think they even know my name, just that I am someone they can take out their anger on, a human punch bag. I sneak out to school every morning to avoid being beaten. They’re normally lying on the couch, taking drugs, or have passed out due to taking cocaine or heroin all night. I have to survive on free school dinners and cereal, the only food ever in our cupboard. It is good to escape to school, to be treated like a person and not being whipped like an animal. My bruises are covered by my uniform which has to be brought by the school and my pain is covered by the great big smile I have to stick on my face when I’m out in public.
Monday, September 17th, 2001
I’ve been at my new school for two weeks now. I have two great friends, Lucy and Katie, who make me laugh and are very kind. I try hard in my lessons and am getting much better at maths and English. I am sleeping at Katie’s on Saturday night, along with Lucy. Katie’s mum has planned for us all to make cakes and do each others nails and hair. I am so excited. I will have to go to sleep now, as I can hear someone coming upstairs.
Tuesday, September 18th, 2001
Last night, Steve came into my room and was high on drugs. As soon as I heard footsteps outside my room, I shut my eyes tight hoping he would leave me alone. But he didn’t he grabbed me and told me to get up and stop being so lazy, I shouldn’t be in bed at ten o’clock. When I told him I was tired he grabbed me by the hair and threw me across the room kicking and hitting me. I was screaming and when my mum came in she just stood there laughing. Today I have great big bruises and cuts all over my legs and arms, and I have P.E. I will have to get changed in the toilet so nobody sees. If I ever told anybody what Steve and my mum do, they would kill me.
Saturday, September 22nd, 2001
I am really looking forward to sleeping at Katie’s. I have found a Tesco bag and put my worn out toothbrush and pyjamas in there as I am going first thing this morning. I hung my wet pyjamas out of the window all morning after washing them in the bath and folded them neatly. I am getting picked up in about half an hour. I haven’t told my mum or Steve, they wont notice I’m gone. They’ve passed out on the sofa with cocaine and lager. Katie’s mums car is outside now, I will write later.
Sunday, September 23rd, 2001
I didn’t have time to write last night, I had such a great time! We were treated like royalty, I got to eat chocolate, sweets, have a hot shower and sleep with a duvet and pillow! Katie is an only child and her mum and dad are amazing, they are both quite young and wear trendy clothes and are all clean and friendly. They are thinking about adopting a child Katie’s age as they can’t have any more children. Katie’s mum was shocked at how happy I was about having things such as a bed and hot water for the night. Things that most people take for granted. She was even more shocked when we were doing handstands. My top slipped and exposed by bruised and cut stomach. She, Katie and Lucy gasped. She demanded to know what happened, I just burst into tears, she hugged me and said everything was going to be ok, and she would sort out whoever did this to me. She said she would pick me up and take me to school tomorrow morning, we would go for breakfast before and talk about it. I reluctantly agreed and spent all afternoon thinking of an excuse to use. I fell down the stairs maybe?

I am sitting in Katie’s mums car being driven back to the house where I feel safe, Katie’s house. Never in a million years could I imagine what would happen today. I got up bright and early this morning, looking forward to my breakfast with Katie’s mum. I scrubbed my face and brushed my hair and ran downstairs. Ju

Monday, September 24th, 2001
I am sitting in Katie’s mums car being driven back to the house where I feel safe, Katie’s house. Never in a million years could I imagine what would happen today. I got up bright and early this morning, looking forward to my breakfast with Katie’s mum. I scrubbed my face and brushed my hair and ran downstairs. Just as I reached for the door handle I felt a firm grip on my shoulder. Then Steve’s rough voice whispered in my ear, “where do you think your going?”. When I replied a timid and frightened “school”, he started shouting and swearing at me. He pushed me against the door and grabbed me round the neck. I couldn’t breathe and was trying so hard to push him away and scream. I kicked him where it hurts, bit him, but he didn’t even flinch, his grip just got tighter and tighter. I was going to die. A million thoughts rushed through my head, I only had a few seconds left before I would pass out or maybe die,
I panicked and grabbed an ornament which was on a table next to me and flung it at him. Steve was lying there, pale and still, with blood dripping from his head. I froze. What had I done? I’m a murderer! I ran out of the house screaming and crying, I saw Katie’s mums car and ran towards it. Her mum got out and held me tight. “My mum and her boyfriend abuse me, he was strangling me, I was going to die, so I hit him with an ornament and I think he’s dead”. I saw the look of horror in her eyes. She grabbed my hand and took me into her car. We drove to the police station where I had to give a statement and do a video interview. This is it, I was thinking, I am a murderer, I will be in prison for the rest of my life. But completely the opposite happened. They sent the police to arrest my mum and an ambulance for Steve. Then I was told it’s not my fault and I did to stay alive. As I said, I am now in Katie’s mums car, being taken back to Katie’s house where I will be looked after for now.
Friday, September 28th, 2001
I have had the week off school and spent time with Katie’s parents. My mum is in prison for child abuse and the possession of class A drugs. She is in prison for life, and to be honest I am quite glad about that. Steve is being discharged from hospital tomorrow and will join my mum in prison, for life. I will be staying with Katie for a few weeks and then they will decide what will happen to me, it is likely that I will go into care. I have weekly counselling sessions to talk about my past, I let them read my diary so they could see what actually went on and my life is beginning to look up, talking about my problems has helped a lot.
Sunday, September 30th
I have just been told the best news. Ever. Katie’s parents want to adopt me! I get on really well with them all, and they were planning on adopting anyway, and then I came along. I am so happy. I will live in a nice house. Have Katie as a sister.
Have nice loving parents, and will stay at the school I’m happy at! Everybody loves a happy ending, especially if it’s you it happens to you.

moreResolved Question: What's your take on this wild dream?
I had this dream Xmas morning & it was one of the weirdest ones yet & I actually remembered it!
It started out with me working with this operative to rid our base of these strange creatures. I'm not sure what gender I was in this part, but I was probably a man [no name]. It played out just like a video game [maybe something like Zack + Tseng from Crisis Core working together on a mission].
The setting seemed like I was in a hotel. I was running around on a floor, checking rooms. People from other floors were screaming & fleeing the site. I finally encountered a monster & radioed for help from my buddy [no name].
The weapon I was using was a gun. It seemed to have taken out the monster. I was running low on ammunition, so I went looking for some. My buddy went to another floor, after he helped me with the monster. When I returned to the floor, dead people lined the hallway. They started rising & my gun wasn't having much of an effect on them, so I decided to run.
Now, my buddy & I are trying to get off of the base, but the undead are every where chasing & trying to kill us. We pretty much had to run for it!
The dream seemed to switch to something slightly different, but the idea of trying to escape was still there.
It seemed I was running from the same base still, but now I was not one of the 2 gunmen or even a man. I was a gal [my original gender] trying to get out of there. There were maybe about 3 other gals with me.
A train was coming so we decided to run for it. I couldn't keep up, so I didn't make the train no matter how hard I tried. The monsters hadn't caught up yet, so I kept running. I got to what looked like a station. There was an old woman sitting on the platform.
She saw how frantic I was & told me that there was something I could use if I wanted to get out of there really badly. It was like one of those old manual trains that might have been used in a mineshaft. The old woman said she wasn't coming with me & that she didn't have any thing to fear.
I believe I managed to leave. It got to a point where I got away but met up with an army of some kind. They were men. The army belonged to the owners of the base. In terms of Final Fantasy, then the army from be from the Security Department maybe & the owners would be Shinra, of course.
I think I was captured. The threat of the monsters & the undead didn't seem to be a problem any more. It felt like I was in some kind of tournament where the army let me loose in this place that was kind of like a stadium. I was surrounded so there was no where to run.
The environment contained a lake with an L-shaped bridge & trees/forest enclosing it. It was like being in a huge pit w/ high walls where the crowd could look in on me.
The strangest thing about the escape from the base is that I believe I was wearing a white wedding dress with a veil & gloves! For the tournament, that's what I had on as well.
The men released a tiger into the environment. Basically, the object was to avoid getting eaten. I stood on the bridge & waited for the tiger to come. [It was cute I thought & it had stripes.]
The tournament came off like a kind of minigame. When the tiger would run toward me, I would catch it & throw it in the lake. It would get out of the water, approach me, jump, & I would catch it + throw it back in the lake.
I was thinking in my head some place, "Wow... This is so unreal.... Me catch a tiger? Huh? I don't have that kind of strength. o.O"
After throwing the tiger in the lake for the 7th time, it came out & stayed off of the bridge. The crowd shouted & every thing, but that was the tiger stayed where it was & I stayed on the bridge.
Soon after, the tiger disappeared & someone came out as a groom. I was like, "Huh?" I started walking to come off the bridge & as I was walking the person asked me if I would marry him. I was really puzzled by all this now, & I walked toward the man in the groom's attire [tuxedo].
It turns out the man was the love of my life who I thought I would never see again. I was really shocked. We kissed briefly [no tongue], then went to get each other rings & got married. After the ceremony, there was a reception. I guess he hid something for me in the chandelier above our table, so I actually ended up standing on the table in my wedding gown & reached into the light. I don't remember what the present/object was. My husband stood behind me to make sure I wouldn't fall & I got off the table by turning to him & placing my arms around his shoulders, so he could help me off of the table. [It was like a test of trust or something similar to jumping the broom....]
We had gotten a small cake, but we asked the store not to decorate it for us 'cause we wanted to do it ourselves. My friends [gals] started decorating the cake with the frosting & I put a small design on one of the corners. The groom & I left the reception & went to eat outside on the lawn, where we could

A Poem Written On a Christmas Morning -- By Jay, 'The Silver Bells'
O 'tis a misty morning white and cold
The early hours are still except the breeze
Awakened from the valleys gently wheeze
And wander round the barn and wooden fold
The lambs are silent, oxen still asleep
The christmas tree stand dreaming of the night
The dawn is clouded in a shady light
And drowsy shadows fall on snowy heaps
An hour from now the children may awake
My darling wife will ring the chore of day
The festive time shall have the wine and cake
And warmth of joy to drive the tears away
As from my window I will lean to see
My daughter playing round the christmas tree

“My ‘pap was always teachin’ me about our way of livin’ through a chocolate cake. He’d say that we dark-skinned men always ended up at the bottom.

However, my dad always told me that though we were at the bottom of the chocolate cake, we was the heart of it too.”

I currently sit upon the swing which has relinquished me of my family, friends, and trust within society. My identity has dissipated within the air of pride of what Americans call “independence or freedom.” No. I now realize that those riveting rumors of America merely attempted to conceal its ghastly and cruel backdrop. My feet hover over the soil “of the blood of American soldiers who brought America to the dignified and independent country it is today.” My father used to tell me that. I spit upon the soil at the thought. No. To me, currently I trudge over the grounds with blood of the hardships that African Americans were tormented to endure while the Americans sat lavishly, laughing at their sufferings. This swing has caused me to lose everything I had ever gained during the past thirteen years.. Yet, I sit here, reminiscing the memories -- not with hopelessness, however, but with pride.

It takes place during the time of racism (though not as far back as slavery. Africans had freedom but not many rights) So theres this white girl and african boy who befriend each other (not sure if fall in love) The African's family first resents, but when they see that the white girl's not a typical white person in society and didn't really realize the thoughts of racism, they accepted her. The problem was that the white girl's family did not approve of the girl meeting the boy. When they find out that she was hanging out with the African, they first give some warnings (not sure what they are. not too violent but not too sincere either) So the white girl and African boy secretly meet in a garden. In this garden would they enact to be mythical creatures trying to defeat the world of the evil (evil is an analogy for segregation). However, the white girl's father catches her. Instead of warning her, he goes and blames the African's family. He hangs the African boy's little sister who used to be on crutches and was unable to pay for an operation up on a tree and burns her to the stake. Then the climax comes where the African boy and the white girl run away into the wilderness. They just go and go, unaware of where they are roaming as long as they go somewhere. The white girl's father has a bounty on whoever can shoot the African gains a huge amount of money. So a hunter comes into the wilderness and shoots the African boy. The only person the white girl was able to live for -- her only soul for survival -- died before her very eyes. The girl had no other choice but to go back to her family. She now stays there, feeling chained within the essence of segregation. Every day she sits upon one of the swings in the garden where they met -- hoping that the African would somehow return. Hoping a miracle would happen.
o__O does it sound cheesy or boring? (sorry its long) . i dont know if people would actually read a story.
heres the begginning if it helps:
“My ‘pap was always teachin’ me about our way of livin’ through a chocolate cake. He’d say that we dark-skinned men always ended up at the bottom. The light-skinned folks were the layer of white frostin‘ , and therefore stood above us. Then the bright red cherry on top -- that there was God. However, my dad always told me that though we were at the bottom of the chocolate cake, we was the heart of it too.”
>>
I currently sit upon the swing which has relinquished me of my family, friends, and trust within society. My identity has dissipated within the air of pride of what Americans call “independence or freedom.” No. I now realize that those riveting rumors of America merely attempted to conceal its ghastly and cruel backdrop. My feet hover over the soil “of the blood of American soldiers who brought America to the dignified and independent country it is today.” My father used to tell me that. I spit upon the soil at the thought. No. To me, currently I trudge over the grounds with blood of the hardships that African Americans were tormented to endure while the Americans sat lavishly, laughing at their sufferings. This swing has caused me to loose everything I had ever gained during the past thirteen years.. Yet, I sit here, reminiscing the memories -- not with hopelessness, however, but with pride.
SORRY THIS IS LONG! 10 points best answer!
by the way if it is dull could you help me by suggesting an idea that would make it more unique? what would you expect in a good book? (theme - wise)
wow! thanks! didnt know even this many people would actually read it :) yeah there are some gaps or some problems within the summary itself. I'll probably fill those up as a I go along because those are probably changeable.
But can post if you wanna but to those who already did thanks! :) <3 appreciate it.
moreResolved Question: Did I "Paint the Picture?"?
my mom always tells me that the key to writing a good book is to "paint the picture". you can't just expect your readers to see the same thing you are. it makes total sense to me and i was just curious if my first chapter (even though its not finished) paints a picture for you.
The engine cut off with a hum and my seat belt unlocked at the same moment. I grabbed my backpack and pulled at the door with a sigh. I planted my feet firmly before I shut the door. As I headed to the porch I watched my step for the sneaky black ice that tends to jump up at you. As walked up the seven steps to the house, I savored the last silent thoughts I would have inside my head, for I knew what was waiting for me behind the front door. I reached the door, and automatically my hand stretched out for the knob. I gave it a good twist, pushed it with a little power and took a step inside. I turned with the door and shut it behind me. I slipped out of my shoes, kicked them out of the way and waited for it. It wasn’t long until I heard the murmurs. But as soon as I had taken another breath she was already there.
“Violet!”
I met her eyes and smiled brightly, just as anyone would.
“Hey Darcy.” I managed to get out before I was suffocating in her arms.
“God you look the exact same-”
“Good your home. I’m glad; you’re just in time for cake decorations.”
“Oh mom, its okay I really don’t want to intrude on Darcy’s things. I mean isn’t this a mother-daughter thing?”
“Well considering I have two daughters, it’s going to be a mother-daughter-daughter thing.” Her hands were already reaching for me and I was forced out of my jacket and scarf before I knew it.
“Besides I need your opinion, you are the only one who I can truly trust in this house” Darcy winked at me in the same moment that my mother shot her a “yeah right” glare.
I walked to the kitchen with my mom rattling on in one ear and my sister in the other. Darcy was talking about how she wants a classic looking cake, and I think my mom said she wanted something with a modern-twist. I wasn’t paying attention, my mind was elsewhere. I sat down next to Darcy, and my mom sat on her other side. The book was right in front of Darcy and already opened before I even blinked twice.
After two hours of looking at baked goods, I eventually made them believe I had homework to do. I practically ran to my bedroom, knowing if I took too long they would weasel me back into there plans. I closed the door, and breathed in the sweet scent of raspberry. It was the one thing I would never get tired of. It was comforting, sweet, and only two dollars and eighty three cents at the store (the plug-ins that is). I went to my dresser, got a hair-tie and pulled my hair back and put it into a pony resting on my neck.
Just as I was about to turn away from my bed I noticed a little white envelope sitting on my pillow. I smiled, knowing exactly what it was. I took two steps, picked it up and read the front of the envelope addressed to, “my dearest little sister”. I turned it around and slipped my finger underneath the seal to open it. Inside held the invitation to Darcy’s wedding. The paper was so soft; it could’ve been mistaken for silk. I let my finger glide across the letters before I actually read them, I knew if I read them now I would fall over, considering the date for the wedding was just a little over two months away. Something about the date always caught me off guard, and it wasn’t even like the day was dedicated to me or anything. It was just the way it all sounded. March 11th my older sister would be marrying the love of her life, and I would be standing next to her as the proud maid of honor. It didn’t seem to be real. I still remember when she announced to mom and dad that she was marrying Brain, it was raining outside, and I had just walked in. My mother had tears of joy coming down her cheeks, and my dad was already crunching numbers. But here we are, December 3rd and we just finished the final decisions, the cake decorations.
I sighed and set the invitation down on my desk, knowing it would be waiting for me to read one day. I sat on the edge of my bed and stretched my arms up high above my head. As I was lying down I heard the familiar ring of my cell phone. I let out with a grunt and picked up my phone from underneath my bed. I glanced at the caller ID and saw in big bolded letters TIFFANY.
“Hello?”
“Hey its me, so I was out getting the mail and my neighbor, the police man, you know which one I’m talking about?”
“Yes, I know which one, the old one right?”
“Right right, well he was talking to me about this family moving in down the street.”
I was trying to relate this back to me or her in any way, but I couldn’t find the connection.
“And what does this have to do with us?”
“Well I heard this family consists of some sons…”
I caught on instantly; Tiffany was a little boy crazy. But the one part I didn’t quite get was that tiffany already had a boyfriend, that she
oops a few words were cutt off...
I caught on instantly; Tiffany was a little boy crazy. But the one part I didn’t quite get was that tiffany already had a boyfriend, that she adores, so why is she so excited about the new neighbors, but just as the thoughts ran through my head, I realized what she was implying.

moreResolved Question: Can you follow simple recipes?
Monday: Now home from work for the Holidays. It's fun to cook for Tim. Today I made an angel food cake and the recipe said, "Beat 12 eggs separately ". Well, I didn't have enough bowls to do that, so I had to borrow 5 more bowls to beat the eggs in. The cake turned out fine though.
Tuesday: We wanted a fruit salad for supper. The recipe said, "Serve without dressing". So I didn't . But Tim happened to bring a friend home for supper that night. They both looked so startled when I served them. I think it was the salad.
Wednesday: I decided to serve rice and found a recipe, which said, " Wash thoroughly before steaming the rice". So I took a bath before starting the rice. Sounded kind of silly in the middle of the day. I can't say it improved the rice anyhow.
Thursday: Today Tim asked for salad again. I tried a new recipe. It said, prepare ingredients, and then toss on a bed of lettuce one hour before serving." I hunted all over the place for a garden and when I found one, I tossed my salad into the bed of lettuce and stood over there for over one hour so the dog would not take it. Tim came over and asked if I felt all right. I wonder why? He must be stressed at work; I'll try and be supportive.
Friday: Today I found an easy recipe for cookies. It said, "Put all ingredients in a bowl and beat it". Beat it I did….. to my mum's place. There must have been something wrong with the recipe, because when I came back home again; it looked the same as when I left it.
Saturday: Tim went shopping today and brought home a chicken. He asked me to dress it for Sunday. Well…..OK? I thought the hen looked really cute. When Tim saw it, he started counting to ten. Either he was really stressed because of his work, or he wanted the chicken to dance. When I asked him what was wrong he started crying and shouting out "Why me? Why me?"
It has to be his job.
moreResolved Question: Was he rude or just a snob?
It was my son's girlfriend's birthday. Her mother phoned me and invited me to their home for us to meet and to have birthday cake. I'd never met my son's girlfriend's parents before. When I got there, there were 3 other family members there as well as my son's girlfriend's parents. The mother was friendly and introduced me to everyone. The father shook my hand and said how are you. Those were the only words he spoke that evening. Everyone sat at the dining room table for cake, except the father. He stood in the kitchen, at the counter, he didn't join us at the table nor did he speak to anyone the whole evening. He just stood there and ignored everyone. When we were leaving the mother saw us to the door and said goodbye and thank you for coming. The father was nowhere in sight. I thought the father was very rude to ignore guests in his home. What do you think?

So I sat them out all day today on my counter. I went out to meet a friend, who stood me up, and now it is to late to bake.
Can I leave my cream cheese and butter out until tomorrow without spoilage. Or can I safely put them back in the fridge and take them out later? Should I just buy new?

moreVoting Question: How do you know if a SHY BOY likes you?!?
So I am confused. :o
I need help.
There's this one boy I've known for a year and I am wondering if he likes me. Well, we've been best friends about 8 months or longer. We met because he knew my brother once, and he contacted me online saying "Hi, I'm _____, I'm that creepy kid that keeps coming over your house with your brother."
So we started talking, and then like, months later he said, "You're my best friend, I'm yours right?" And then I was all sarcastic like, "Noooooo of course not. Cake is my best friend" And he was like," Are you serious? So cake is better than me?"
Since he is insanely shy, we don't really talk much, but he laughs at a lot of what I say. And I always catch him looking at me, sometimes he finds me in a large crowd but looks away every time I see him.
Occasionally, he'll just go up to me and kick my feet when I'm not paying attention or he'll talk to me and sit next to me for a while.
And he never talks to me face to face. He prefers to walk around and stand beside me..
One time we were at a dance festival and he was like," Hey, do you mind if I hang around you at lunch and stuff? Well, there's probably going to be a bunch of annoying girls around us. But, whatever." And even though he had guy friends he could have hung out with, he just sat with me and some little girls.
Sometimes, like through texting and stuff, he even compliments me. Well, um, he does that a lot. Like I'll say I look like crap, and he'll tell me I look great. Or he'll say "We're exactly alike, we could be twins." And he's really open with me sometimes.
But LATELY, he's been really weird. I'll just be like "HI!", and he'll say is anybody around you? Okay, I think I have a crush on _____. Just some random girl he doesn't even know. And he does that a lot now.. It's confusing me.
And he won't talk to me as much, or even act enthusiastic. Or like he cares. It's almost like he's ignoring me. But a few months back, he even told one of my friends secretly, (AFTER MUCH PRESSURE), that he "kind of liked me" and "I made him happy, and he was happy to know how i felt about him." But then said he wasn't sure.. >_>
Like this one guy described it.
"That sounds exactly like me. If he looks at you and you make eye contact and then he instantly looks away. Can't look you directly in the eyes. Always wants to stay away from you. Ex: you come over to him and he will talk or stand for a few minutes and then he just walks away. Especially when he will laugh at almost anything you say. I am just like that so I know all about it."
SO any help?
I had a friend tell him I liked him, but he didn't believe the guy. But yeah, he DID say he kind of liked me... But then wasn't sure.
moreResolved Question: my 2nd draft of renesmees continuation of twilight series?
i tried to work out all the kinks and remember just because im 14 doesn't mean u shouldn't judge me harshly i appreciate your help but don't bash twilight just tell me every little mistake or suggestion you have for me
chapter 1 bday
finally, "its my birthday" i screamed the second i woke up. I was frivolously jumping on my bed over enthusiastic for this day, it seems as if i waited a millennium for it day though i was just born 7 years ago. But i had the body of a 17 year old and the mind of one too.
After 3 jumps i heard a sharp crack "uh oh" i said. i knew Esme wasn't going to be happy about this, Its the 3rd bed i broke this month and its an antique too. It was beautiful Esme went through a lot of trouble to refurnish my room every month due to my quick growing , and i of course carelessly forget what i am capable of. But hey I'm only human well that's not entirely true just only half human.
3 seconds later Alice, Rosalie, Esme, and Bella were by my side and they formed a circle around my bed and almost sang in their beautiful harmonic voices "happy birthday". I looked at Esme apologetic for what i did to the bed, she instantly understood and said "ill let this one slide Renesmee after all its your birthday and you've given me a new hobby furnishing your room". we all laughed in synchronization
I stood up and hugged every single one of them Bella, Esme, Rosalie, and Alice.
Alice froze for a short moment it took me less then a second to realize she was seeing something. After that she was all smiles "Alice" i said eager to ruin her surprise, she knew what i was up to and she wasn't happy about it. "well at least you know that your no longer surprise birthday party for me will be one of the best days of my life" i said, emphasizing the last word. I felt a little guilty for ruining her fun i had to re compensate in some way. "how did you know?" she said whining and even whining her voice was still beautiful like a melody so graceful and beautiful like most vampires are. "well it gets easier after living so may years with you well 7 technically but still" i trailed off.
They all looked at me eagerly i felt as if i was their experiment and the experimentation was about to begin. Rosalie almost shouted "you cant believe the outfit i made for you with Alice its beautiful you have to wear it today!" "yes Nessie you absolutely have to" Alice said in agreement. "she doesn't have to do anything"said my mother Bella (short for Isabella) "unless she wants to" she continued after her short pause
Bella hated birthdays in her human life she doesn't want to pressure me in that way at all but i knew she was hoping i would go along. "i am going to refurnish your room again, you cant go inside of it for the whole day its a surprise and you can only see the results after your party" said Esme."well i have to get dressed you know ha ha" i laughed and contradicted her.I enjoyed being right most of the time unless i was hurting someone but i knew Esme agreed with me and wasn't hurt by this at all. " well you are right but after you are done getting dressed you cant set one foot in it" said Esme "darn!and i wanted a little sneak peek of it but oh well you never fail to surprise me Esme i know it will be beautiful though" i said smiling.
"come on" Alice said tugging on my arm "we have a lot of work to do the guests are arriving soon!". "guests"? i shouted "uh oh" Alice said "you didn't know well now the surprise is all ruined i thought you knew" i laughed at her angry face its not really something to get worked up about "well now you have to tell me who's coming or i refuse to get ready". Rosalie cut in the conversation and she said "well Nessie you don't really have a choice 2 against one who do you honestly think will win?" i heard triumph in her voice "Bella and Edward will help me you know how it is with Bella and birthdays and after all Edward is my dad so 3 against 2 who do you think will win?" i emphasized victory in my voice. "fine" they both groaned in synchronization "lets get ready first we don't have much time"
We blazed down the stairs and started decorating the house, we wrapped all the trees and practically the whole house in bright colorful lights and beautiful ribbons. The atmosphere was so peaceful and beautiful around us. Alice filled all the glistening crystal bowls with flowers they were freesia and multicolored roses i suppose, The smell was sweet and lovely. And i made dinner and bought cake i bought Jacob's favorite and 4 other cakes just in case Seth and Leah prefer something else. i bought fruit cake, chocolate cake, cheesecake, vanilla and strawberry. The rest of my family of course couldn't eat the cake, i could but i preferred blood . Though the cakes gave a happy birthday atmosphere around us. The werewolves wouldn't have a hard time finishing those up.
I wondered if i should get something more for him. My thoughts were suddenly interrupted by Alice shouting
My thoughts were suddenly interrupted by Alice shouting into my ears " go get dressed the guests are almost here hurry before the boys come back from hunting!". I ran to my room and found lying there at the edge of my bed the most gorgeous dress i have ever seen. And i have seen many beautiful dresses in my lifetime. It was a flowy short dress, i preferred those more since its easier to move around in them. And the color was abseloutely beautiful a color only vampire eyes would see correctly human eyes could not precept the full beauty of it. It was almost a viridian a cross between cyan blue and turquoise with something much more i couldn't quite put my finger on it. It was made of the finest silk and chiffone i could smell the quality of the fabric. It was strapless very delicate, it actually had real diamonds, emeralds, and pearls embedded in it trailing down smoothly from the top in the shape of a flowy triangle. One diamond at the top two under it and three emeralds under
and three emeralds under those and 4 pearls under the emerald and so on increasing to hug my whole torso in these beautiful stones and waist down it was more subtle but definitely not plain it sparkled just as almost a i did in the sunlight
I ran and i hugged Rosalie and Alice, and said "oh my god thank you guys so much its so beautiful and i sincerely thank you this isn't just an ordinary dress i know it came form the heart". Alice and Rosalie embraced me back and Alice said "yup i knew this was going to happen that's why i rushed you to your room you don't think ill give you a dress if i know you are going to hate it " and Rosalie replied "yes i had to let Alice help me this time and it truly did come from my heart i love you very much renesmee even before you were born". I smiled a huge smile and kicked them out of my room so i can get dressed. I wondered what esme was planning to change in here.
After i was done i could hear about a mile away the sound of four people running toward this area i knew it was jasper, Edward, Emmet, and carlisle. I went down stairs ready to greet them and ready for them to shower me with happy birthdays and hugs. As soon as i was downstairs carlise hugged me and said "happy birthday my favorite granddaughter" i laughed and said " I'm your only granddaughter" and he replied " yes that's true but i couldn't ask for a better one" i was so touched by his words, i remembered i had to reply and i said truly from my heart "and i couldn't ask for a better grandfather either carlisle". It didnt feel right calling him my grandfather his body was in its 20's but it was that kind of respect he deserved.
Now it was Emmet's turn he gave me a big bear hug and picked me up and shouted "happy birthday" i said "thanks uncle Emmet". I was used to calling him uncle since i was young i always felt he was much bigger than me than the rest of my family ". He said you don't have to call me that anymore your 17 now" i smiled and said "yes but i want to plus i know it makes you feel bigger than you are so why not ha ha" he put me down and smiled and let jasper have his turn.
Jasper didn't have to change my mood i was already very happy and he could sense that. He hugged me and said "happy 7th or 17th birthday renesmee whichever you prefer" i laughed at his joke and he walked by me not saying much. I knew jasper loved me though he wasn't quite a talkative person. He kept his feelings inside of him which was sort of ironic considering his ability to sense and change the emotions of everyone around him.
Finally Edward my father came to me with a huge grin on his face and hugged me very tightly he said " i hope you have a very happy birthday my daughter is all grown up now and you are very beautiful and smart and the perfect daughter i am so lucky to have you, you and Bella the 2 most special ladies in my life". I smiled and i teared i was the only one in my family who was able to do that being half human and all. I got the best of traits from each species "daddy" i said. I haven't called him that in so long but i felt so young and so little and happy with him again i was very happy my father was pleased with me and i know he knew i loved him also. "i hugged him tight and said "i love you too and you know from reading my mind that i too couldn't ask for a better father i am so so happy you are pleased with me". Alice came down and said "okay okay enough of all the love here I'm very happy that you guys are happy but the party starts in 10 minutes and everyone is coming right now"

Since Obama has stopped going to any church since he left Reverend Wright's hate flock.
ATHENS, Greece – Protesters attacked a city-sponsored Christmas tree in central Athens Saturday, tossing garbage and hanging trash bags from its branches before clashing with riot police.
In the northern city of Thessaloniki, a small group of self-styled anarchists occupied a cinema in the city's main square and threw cakes and candy at Mayor Vassilis Papageorgopoulos and one of his deputies. The mayor was attending a Christmas-related event distributing the sweets to children with sickle-cell anemia, when the rioters seized the stand and threw its contents at the city officials.

moreResolved Question: How can Indians say that Indian muslims don't support terrorism, when they keep voting for Congress ?
Congress is always raising roadblocks in the fight against terrorism. They removed POTA and now their minister Anthulay is raising false controversy theories about Karkare. The Indian muslim votebank of the Congress is the one protecting Afzal Guru who has been sentenced to death for terrorism. People blame the Congress for votebank politics but fail to see that this votebank must be supporting terrorism and that is why the Congress yields to their demands and backtracks on strong anti terror policies!
You cannot vote for a government that is weak against terrorism and then say that you stand against terrorism. That is like having your cake and eating it too!
moreResolved Question: "Let them eat cake" $700 Billion Bailout goes to?
Morgan Stanley's and Goldman Sachs bonuses this year! WTF ppl. Morgan Stanley and Goldman Sachs are using their $10 billion to give these fat cats of their higher ups $210,000/employee bonus this year.
That's our tax money! who else finds this to be completely wrong. This money should be going to stimulate our economy not give more money to ppl that don't need it. This just smells of the French Revolution. Maybe it's time for us as a nation to stand up and say NO MORE! our unemployment is approx 7%.

moreResolved Question: ITS okay to throw our shoes at a muslim leader or would we get punished with like being beheaded should that..?
So If this ill Iraq citizen press man throws shoes at our president then its alright for a american pressman to throw all his shoes and any other person to toss and hit all iraqi or muslim country leaders in the head with shoes or should that iraqi guy be stoned to death or shot for his assault on the american president? So its okay to toss shoes at leaders of iraqis as it is being said to allow this man go
without being shot or punished For all know in muslim countries this man would have been beheaded or jailed in the least for throwing and hitting a iraqi leader. Otherwise if its okay to toss shoes at guest leaders protected by visitation protection guidlelines would a american be held for punishement had he the american tossed two shoes and assaulted the iraqi leader if the shoe was on the other foot would the cheering crowds be as cheering and calling for a american had a press man from NY hit the iraqi leader with his shoes?
What they cheer for today would be very different when their leader can just as easily be hit with a dangerous loaded shoe maybe a loafer
full of cake or worse.? Would the cheering be so harolded if this was to happen to the leader of shite during a press speech. If the guy that tossed the two shoes does not get his due in history
would not the same if it were to happen to a iraqi leader go
unpunished as well? Ill be first to head up the pop fly off the iraqi leaders head and wont miss as bad as the other guy.
Id insure my brogans hit the target and leave a dented muslim
that wont have a leg to stand on if this guy gets hailed as a hero Ill be
a holy divinity for doing the same only i promise not to miss. Its only justice.Would the Kurds cheer me on if my size 13 brogans claimed the forhead during a press conference. Would the iraqi leader
recover his teeth and waht about mrs mustard in the library?
cheers whats your thoughts or answer to this atrocity.
???
Cheers
moreVoting Question: need some tips on frosting a cake ?
I baked a cake earlier today with my son. We let it cool for about an hour. The problem came when it was time to add some frosting. I have a special spatula made for frosting a cake but when we got started crumbs from the cake mixed with the frosting. It is a chocolate cake with white frosting so you can imagine the cake crumb pieces stand out. If this helps the cake was a box cake and the frosting came from a can. The brand of frosting was Betty Crocker whipped frosting. Can anyone give me tips on how to keep cake crumbs from mixing with the frosting? Serious answers only.
moreVoting Question: This dream was really cool!! What do you think it means?
Ok, so in my dream I was in my old house, the one I grew up in, and I was sitting in my living room where the Christmas tree was always at and My dad was cooking dinner, and i went into the basement to see what emails i had, then when i got online, i saw these websites that my love of 5 years had gone to. They were to my favortirte things-then I heard him upstairs and I was so excited! I didnt know he was going to be home for christmas and it was such a happy surprise! He was standing there and smiling and we hugged. then we went intot the living room and sat down and he gave me an old white bag that was wrinkly and said "open it baby girl!!-Merry Christmas!!" as I opened it, I already knew what was inside, but I still was excited about it because it was so thoughtful. He got me rum flavored gum ("to make me feel like I'm at the beach), a bottle of glitter glue (he said I could use that when I am a teacher), and he got me a thrid gift, I can't really remember what that was, I think it was a box of food recipes or something that had to do with peurto rican restarints or crab cakes haha, those are my fav kinds of food so even though I knnew already what he got me I still was so surprised that he got stuff that meant something to me nad i hugged him and he was just like i hope you like your presents! i thought you could use them in each aspect of your liife, work, fun, and something else. Then my parents came in and were surpised to see him too, and after awhile in my drea, we all were in my parents new house talking and carrying on and they loved him. But in real life they dont love him, and they dont hate him. What's possible meanings for this dream?
