Fillin' ya in

5 comments at 1:59 PM

Just to fill y'all in, here are the posts that I am giving advice to:




okay, I have just one URGENT question. Say that u really like a girl and she wants u to kiss her, but the day that u plan on doing it, everyone happens to be there!! By some strange coincidence, the entire lacrosse team, is watching u and the girl u like talk, as well as making extremely rude remarks!!!!!!! Well, do u think that this is fate's way of saying we shouldn't be together and that we shouldn't be together? Also, at what point in a relationship do u think kissing is okay? 






This advice is really helpful, except I WANT to kiss her, I just don't know how... I am in a state of awkwardness with my girlfriend, and I feel that if I don't kiss her soon, she will DEFINITELY break up with me, which is something I don't want! Still confused about what I should do in my relationship...
P.S. i have also been having a MAJOR problem with putting my arm over her largely because of the height difference between us, she told me to lower my elbow, but by doing that, I am touching her waist, is that okay?

Urgent Question #2

3 comments at 12:10 AM

Dear friend,


If you want to kiss her, you will.  You just need to wait until the right time.  Don't sweat it... if she's truly faithful and into you the way I can tell you care about her, she won't leave you so soon.  Again, even if you do want to kiss her, if she's pushing you to do it sooner and you have to take more time, and she is showing signs of leaving because of this, then maybe she isn't dedicated the way she should be and you should rethink this.  

Also, about the arm, just put it on her waist.  If you had described her as more of a person who didn't want to go too "far" that early in the relationship, I would say otherwise, but if she wants you to kiss her, putting your arm on her waist shouldn't be a problem.  In fact, if you do it the right way it can actually be more affectionate than putting your arm on her shoulders.

I hope I helped, and again, keep me posted.

My First Advice Blog!

3 comments at 6:59 PM

Dear friend with urgent question,
Mmhm, that is a dilemma!  Well, here's my take on the situation:


Although I do sometimes believe in fate (frankly it depends on the situation) I wouldn't base your whole relationship on one incident.  Although this rude lacrosse team seems to have some sort of problem with your relationship, I would assume that you don't even know them very well anyway, so don't let it bother you.  If you feel right in the relationship, then you should do what you feel is right.  On the other hand, if something seems like it's not going right, or something bigger than the lacrosse team is bothering you about the situation, then that is a reason to talk about it with her.  If after talking about it you still don't feel right, then maybe you should think about slowing down, taking a break, or breaking it off.


I also noticed that you said that your girlfriend (if you don't mind titles?  Alright, let's stick with "this girl") wants you to kiss her.  I think that the real question is are you ready?  Because if you are not, by no means should you let yourself be pressured into it.  People have different opinions of when in a relationship it is "okay" to kiss someone, but I believe that both people should be comfortable with one another and their relationship first.  If she persists when you tell her you're not ready, I think that is a better way to judge whether the relationship is right.


So, friend, keep me informed on how this advice works out... I hope I helped.  But do keep me updated, either here or through email, because I would love to try again if this doesn't work.


Hope all goes well!

Where would I be right now without my friends?!

I can't even imagine.

Getting through the day wouldn't even be possible without their advice, help, guidance, and love.

There's no way, absolutely NO WAY, that I would be sane right now without them.

Beside the fact that when they are happy, (**SIGH** "melting!" ;) Oh, cute couples) it makes me happier than anything.

Thank you.

Nothing New to Say

Have you ever had those times when you want to just break down and cry?


When you want to pour out your heart, but there's just nothing new to say?

When you feel like you're just living for the pain?

Thinking

0 comments at 10:42 PM

Thinking... just thinking...

Although I value thinking highly, sometimes it gets the best of me.
I over-think things...
Sometimes I just think about things TOO much...
And sometimes thinking about things just makes me plain sad.

Agree?

WARNING: VERY CONTROVERSIAL... AGAIN....

4 comments at 1:19 PM

We have a request for a discussion of abortion! Soooo here we go!


Okay, so again I respect everyone's views. Because I do, in this case, see both sides... however I am indeed pro-choice.
A woman should have control over her body, and if you are impregnated by, let's say, rape, would you want that child to have to live with that? Or that woman having to remember that whenever she looks at the child?
And if that woman is pro-life, than she can also keep the baby. Pro-choice is also, I think, the best way to please everyone.

Because I don't know much on this topic, I can't post much... but I would love to hear everyone's opinions.
Remember that I respect all of you, so please respect me!

Hitchhiker's Guide Quotes

2 comments at 8:02 PM

Some of my favorite quotes so far from The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy ... you're in for a few laughs:


"You know," Arthur said, "it's at times like this, when I'm trapped in a Vogon airlock with a man from Betelgeuse, and about to die of asphyxiation in deep space, that I really wish I'd listened to what my mother told me when I was young."
"Why, what did she tell you?"
"I don't know, I didn't listen."


"Yes," said Arthur, "we'd be mad, all things considered, to think this was Southend."
"Well, do you think this is Southend?"
"Oh yes."
"So do I."
"Therefore we must be mad."
"Nice day for it."
"Yes," said a passing maniac.
"Who was that?" asked Arthur.
"Who--the man with five heads and the elderberry bush full of kippers?"
"Yes."
"I don't know. Just someone."
"Ah."


"Ford, you're turning into a penguin. Stop it."
...
Ford waddled around his pond in a furious circle.
"Hey, who are you?" he quacked. "Where are you? What's going on and is there any way of stopping it?"
"Please relax," said the voice pleasantly, like a stewardess in an airliner with only one wing and two engines, one of which is on fire, "you are perfectly safe."
"But that's not the point!" raged Ford. "The point is that I am now a perfectly safe penguin, and my colleague here is rapidly running out of limbs!"
"It's all right, I've got them back now...Admittedly," said Arthur, "they're longer than I usually like them, but..."


All of the amazing ones were taken by other blogs... teehee :) But here's one I just HAVE to put in anyway...
"Ford!" he said, "there's an infinite number of monkeys outside who want to talk to us about this script for Hamlet they've worked out."


These may seem strange, but that just means you must read the book! ;)

Now here you may post your suggestions for things to discuss... Also, you may notice a bit of a change of scenery... yes I have changed my blog template, because I felt that this provides a more interesting place for us to share ideas :-)

That One Song

0 comments at 4:22 PM

Don't you just love that one song that defines your life at that very moment?


I listen to those often... and often they cause me pain, but pain is okay... pain hurts of course, but it's part of life.

Often times I turn to the song(s) when there's nothing else to turn to...those and my daydreams :-)

I felt that would be worth sharing. Are there any of those songs for you all out there?

I feel as if I blog almost TOO much... when new Average Teens come to visit they'll have much too much to catch up on!!

WARNING: Very Controversial!

4 comments at 4:02 PM

I have a request from a dear friend to talk about Gay Rights. And so I shall.


I don't see the point of NOT allowing gay marriage. How does it affect those of us who aren't homosexual? Why would you want to keep people from being happy together? If a gay couple gets married, how is it going to make you any less of a person, how is it going to hurt you in any way?
Now, for Christians I can see how it goes against the Bible, as some may say. I respect your faith, however, isn't God supposed to love everyone? Everyone means everyone. That means gays, Jews, and race or color, EVERYONE. So I don't quite see how anyone can go against these rights, though I respect anyone's opinions. I will not judge you for your opinion, because people are all different. But I do believe that it's important to accept everyone in the world.

And that's my story :-) I won't judge anyone for their comments, and I hope you won't judge me for mine and that you will continue to visit and accept my help... however, this IS who I am, and there's no way around it, so if you don't have anything nice to say, don't say anything at all. If you can express your opinions in a respectful manner, then by all means comment :-)

Daydreams

4 comments at 8:12 AM

Have you ever thought that daydreams are what keep you hoping...what keep you going?


They instill that last bit of hope in you when all else is lost, you know... because anything can happen in a daydream. Whatever you want to happen will, and that will give you the strength to keep going.

I've never really thought about it that way before, so it's a new topic for me to be discussing :-)

Does anyone else feel this way?

Something Poetic

Something poetic:


and I know I have no chance
and yet here I am
lying on my couch in my living room
in a lacy dress with my hair all done
and no one to watch me cry.

Isn't that poetic? Interesting how things come to you! :-)

Love....hmm.

Readers, Friends, Fellow Bloggers,

One of our friends, Thanks For All The Fish42, recently posted a blog about love... it's such an interesting topic to discuss...
So here we go!
Once again I shall bring up our dear friend Elena. She said something about love that I most certainly think describes it:
"Pain, happiness, sadness, more pain, that amazing, tingly feeling inside of you that makes you want to scream from happiness..."
Yes, that most certainly describes it... however, can a person at such a young age, say somewhere in the early to middle teens, feel "love"?
If love is all those feelings, and you've felt all of those feelings, have you experienced love?
Or have you experienced what we call "liking someone"?
What's the difference? Has anyone ever explained that? I mean, I for one believe that someone my age does not know what love is. That you need more experience than some schooling to know what love is. But what is "liking someone" ... is it the same feeling but less intense, or is it just our way of saying that the person doing the liking doesn't know what love is so can't say that they are experiencing it?

Whatever "like" is, it most certainly is a confusing state to be in. I know we all know that :-)

And what about a different kind of love... love for family, or for friends? Is it possible that a person can love family, love friends, love pets, but not love a significant other? And, again, there's a difference... but it's hard to pinpoint it, isn't it? Loving family members... you can't really describe that feeling. It's trust, it's passion, but isn't that involved in relationships too?

Love.... what a controversial, interesting, and CONFUSING topic to discuss.

Normal day today... not much to report.

Actually, I was pretty happy and calm for once... and my cake was a big hit!
It was "MOIST" and wonderful... maybe I should make cakes more often!
"Hey, happy Wednesday... here's a cake!"
EVERYONE will love me ;)
I would love to hear about anything new in any of YOUR lives... I have yet to get an email. Go on, don't be afraid! :-P

Cake Mishaps

1 comments at 11:35 PM

Here's a nice anecdote for you, it just happened to me as I was baking a birthday cake for one of my commenters/best friends, Thanks For All The Fish42:


So, I was following all the directions, I put in the mix, the water, and the oil. It looked good so far... (this is a vanilla cake, mind you.)
Now I've done all this and I come to the part where I have to add the eggs. Instead of just saying "3 eggs" it says "3 egg whites."
Now, that sounds simple enough... I know how to separate the egg from the egg white, just crack the egg and shift the yolk between the shell halves until all the white has dripped out... a simple baker's trick.
However, I've gotten through 2 of the 3 eggs and I drop a yolk into the mix. Now I, being a perfectionist, HAVE to get this out. I take the spoon and start searching through the mix... the yolk is nowhere to be found.
Now I'm beginning to panic.
What if I don't find it? What will happen to the cake? WHAT IF IT IS RUINED...
Yes, I know, melodramatic...
Anyway, I finally get to my last resort.....
I wash my hands, prepare myself, and dig them in... and what do I come out with? THE YOLK.
I felt so triumphant I wanted to jump up and down and sing... I didn't though because it was 11:30pm.
And so, my cake is now in the oven, and I am happily awaiting its completion so that I can ice it :-)
Now that you know I'm a perfectionist and a complete weirdo, I think I'll go to bed for the night... but I'm happily awaiting both my cake and your emails. :-)

Elena, How I Learn From You!

8 comments at 7:37 PM

Friends,

I just wanted to comment on something that Elena, who also happens to be one of my best friends, has brought up.

"Pain. I love it."
Some would find that a strange statement, but I think if you look deep enough you'll find that it's true for many people, one of them being me. Pain may be hard, pain may be, well, painful, but it makes you stronger.
You must learn from your mistakes.
After all, what is life about if not learning as you live?

Elena has taught me something today, as she has taught me things very often:
Pain is both your best friend and your worst enemy. It will make you stronger, and you certainly learn from it, but it also hurts... but that's okay.

FDR said, "The only thing we have to fear is fear itself."
I think this applies to pain... we fear pain, we sometimes fear that others will be hurt, but (and this is another thing I've discussed with Elena in the past) sometimes this fear that others will be hurt is simply a stretch of YOU not wanting to be hurt. Think about it... if this certain person is hurt or upset, why else would you fear this happening if it wouldn't hurt YOU?
So is it really you you are thinking of after all?
Do you not want this person to get hurt, or do you not want yourself to hurt because of this person's grief?
I would love to hear everyone's comments about this.

 

Ohhh!

One of Those Days

2 comments at 4:20 PM

Ever had one of those days where you just feel like you want to cry?

Where just about everything goes wrong?
That was today.
Go ahead and vent... comment if you've ever felt like this before.

Also, a word of wisdom:
Try not to worry about things that you can't help, because it'll only stress you more. Although it may be hard, try to put the extra stress behind you and worry about the things you CAN help. This word of advice comes from a great friend of mine. :-) <3

<3madi

 

Go For It!

Hello again,

This is where everyone can post their problems.
I'll be happy to help, and it's very healthy to vent, so go ahead... no one's going to judge you, and I'm only here to help.
Feel free to make me your "safe" ... I don't even know who you are, I'm really the best person for the job ;)

Go for it!

Just An Average Teenager

0 comments at 10:50 PM

Hi everyone... I'm just an average teenager, trying to find her place... I don't know who's reading this or what they'll say, but all I'm looking for is a hand to reach out... some advice when times get hard. I'd rather you not give your name, your age, or any information... it's better if I don't know who you are. But everyone is invited.
I'm also great at giving advice, even if I'm not so good at taking it... so anyone can feel free to email me, or post something right here on the blog, and I'll do my best to help you out... because I take great joy in helping others... so please, post some questions, dilemmas, whatever you would like, because I hope we can have a give-and-take relationship here.
<3madi
