I was going to say anything from any of the final destination movies (in other words horribly violent and gorey) but this... this is something else. EDIT: or anything found in a Saw movie. Those suck pretty bad too. I actually have been watching a show on [bleep]e called "1000 ways to die". It shows 1000 really lame ways of dying. google it if your interested. It ranges from exploding to to "the bends" (deep sea diving condition) to having a blood clot rush to your heart from cutting off circulation to your leg from having a sausage in your pants (yes, the food, not the inuendo)

In a complete turn of events, me and Kate are now dating, or at least trying to date :lol: Something we both realized is that if we stay away from each other, we are actually able to start forgetting about each other. The only problem is that once we talk, the feelings come up again. Which is a problem since we both either want to date or still remain good friends. So, we just decided "[bleep] that" to the whole not dating thing, and now we're going to try again. And we couldn't have chosen a worse time to try. She leaves for Hungary Thursday, is gone for two weeks, goes up north to her friend's cottage (Which luckily is ~20 minutes from mine), then goes down to Vermont to another friend's cottage. Not to mention that she's busy until Thursday, mainly because of practice. Not to mention that almost all of her guy friends (Which pretty much is all her friends, she finds girls too [bleep]) like her, so this just screws things over on that side of the fence. I really can only laugh at how screwed things are whenever we try to date. *facepalm* Well, against my better judgement, I wish you luck with this endeavor. Like you said this was horrible timing. And timing in life is everything.

Start thinking of her as a friend + look for other women. Since you seem to be still madly in love with her, what you do is pick one flaw (even if it is minor like "She is a [bleep] to me"), keep that flaw in mind. Every time you start to think about her and how much you miss her, just think of that flaw. Works for me anyways. She probably meant that she loves you as a friend. P.S Don't bother trying to be less 'dependant' on her, it won't work and you can hardly change yourself, and you shouldn't change yourself for someone; you'll get fed up of not being yourself in the end. I know. Its over. She said almost exactly what you said~ "people dont change" Its hard when your only a Junior in high school and you dont really feel for any other girls in the school. I dont want a pointless, 3 month relationship. I'd prefer to play for keeps. Its just that High School isnt ment for that. College is. :thumbdown: :( :cry: [/hide] V lol I looked at the whole big thing and was like "wtf I wrote you guys a book!" :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: W0000000000000000T You guys are all going to love me again. Same problems with this girl. Although I can save I have changed a lot for the better 8-) . Its been really weird lately, my unstable emotions matched up with just seeing her recently. Since we broke up we havnt talked, which I was fine with. I mean, im crushed but I can grow a pair and move on. But heres what I dont understand. After me & her broke up, we both kinda went emo (in taking terms of the stereotype where theyre all depressed and stuff) in terms of personality for a while. We sulked, never were happy when we didnt need to be, so on and so on. Eventually we started getting more stable w/o each other, but idk about her, but I cant give up so easily. I gave this girl everything but my virginity; heart, mind, bold, soul. I [bleep] meant it in this relationship, and I think she did too. I mean, everything sets me off into thinking about this girl, because our relationship was everything to me. The only real comfort is that we both have stayed single during this, but knowing her I'm more likly to pick up someone then she is, its just the way she is. Shes extremely cautious around guys, because of her father. (her father cheated on her mother secretly for ~9 years and they got a divorce about 3-4ish years ago.) She has that mindset of "all guys are pigs" and such and such, but somehow I was different :-k She told me she loved me before she can even tell her own father the same line. Which is why I still see things the way I do. I know this is getting into TMI but there were times where if I was there with her, and not on the phone she would have been willing to lose it to me (yeah, hopefully you guys take the hint L0L) If me, a guy, can make so much difference on a girl like that, I refuse to accept the answer of that she loves me as a friend, because I know its more then that. Now shes heading off for college (Towston in MD i think?) but theres a catch. After we broke up, through the "emo" mood, and even up untill graduation she was claiming she "didnt want to talk to anyone from [my town] when she goes off to college" Another catch; We all, including me and her, got back recently from marching in Washington DC for the Independence Day Parade (exciting, huh?), which would really be the last time I would see her in person. At midnight Monday morning, despite leaving instantly because she had work at the local YMCA summer camp, she went over to a few close friends as they were leaving, and gave each a hug and said some stuff, which idk what it was nor was it any of my business. But then she came over to me. With a face as if she was worried I was going to leave without saying goodbye. I somehow got a big hug that night, with a message of my own. Despite the fact I will never forgive her for what she put me through, I still love her. I told her that. She still loves me . She also said to stay strong and to "keep in touch" Now here comes the question. Does anyone think, that if I casually keep contact with her, that in a "good-case" scenario (she doesnt fall head-over-heels over someone new, dies, etc [lol on dying]) that I may have another chance 3-5 years down the road, when we both get into the real world? If theres a chance, shes worth waiting that amount of time for her. As one of my friends said, its either love or obsession. As much as I personally think its obsession, I think the true love feeling will come out and show itsself eventually. opinions/rate/hate lol, well opinions please : I can take negative opinions, Its not like I'll commit suicide if it doesnt work, I'll just move on. It would bee as tough as it has been, but I can make it, because I have so far. You remind me of the movie "Just Friends". Watch it. Once your done inwardly laughing at yourself, you may be satisfied with the result. Not to say that movies are anything like real life, but I can definatly see this girl in your future. I suggest getting over her and moving on, then meeting her either at a highschool re-union or before hand. Just make sure that you do massive improvements to yourself before you re-meet. Only time will tell, but play your cards right and she could be back. But put that in the back of your head for now. Focus on you. Live your life, find a few hobbies, some new friends and maybe even a new girl or two. If you still think of the original girl, well take it as a sign to give her a call. My theory on how she loves you "as a friend" and how you were "different" stems from her lack of stable father. I've found that girls with daddy issues are extra confusing and difficult to hold a relationship with. Perhaps she sees you almost as a father figure, probably due to your upstanding male role model-esque behavior around her. Believe it or not being the knight in shining armor makes you more friend than boyfriend. Stupid folklore has been screwing us up for generations.

Tell Kate that you met a girl. She's your friend, if anything she should be happy. She broke up with you, and it's not your responsibilty to wait for her so that you can be convenient for her. Mary is available and at the ready, and you won't even see Kate for almost a month. You seem to value her feelings alot though, so tell Kate about Mary before you actually make your move. She may even support your decision (especially because she said she didn't want to get back together). Don't get hung up on Kate is my point. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: but seriously: that sucks. Your parents will need a lot of time before they "lighten up". Especially if this is your first girlfriend. And depending on your age, 1 month actually does seem kinda fast. Just exxplain the situation exactly how it is to your girlfriend. She'd have to be nuts not to understand. ugh....no you don't (bolded for emphasis). Sorry to break it to you, but you've been going out for all of two weeks. If you think you love her, then yes you are spending too much time with her. Back up a bit. Hang with your friends and let her go with hers. What you're doing now is very unhealthy.

[hide=proof][/hide] nope not lying ;-) Anywho, I think I can get somewhere between $200 and $500 for it at the moment. But what you say is true: in a few years the unopened version will increase in value. I may just hang on to it.

What good would telling her do? I'm not saying lie to her, but that's certainly something I would never say to my love interest. Some may think it's cute that you get nervous or whatever, but that really isn't something that you shoot for. Leave cuteness to coincidence.

Eew...? xD Luckily there's no risk of that happening, I'm always fine when I'm with her. :roll: Is it more of an anticipation/excitement thing? Either way you just have to take a deep breathe and calm down a bit.

Abstinence is useless. It's going to happen eventually - you might as well be prepared. However, sex ed. shouldn't be taught too young, cause then you're just putting ideas into the heads of the children. I say, sex ed. at freshman year in highschool will do fine. That way, it doesn't spread to the little middle schooler's, but the audience isn't too old too late. (Eventually it'll spread to the middle schooler's anyway, so perhaps an intro course is in order, ie. "this is a penis")

Alcohol effects your brain development, and your brain doesn't stop developing until you are at the age of 21 at the youngest. Feel free to surf the net for a source, I know it's true, I'm just lazy. Not that smoking doesn't. but two things are wrong with this: 1) I don't consider someone an "adult" until the have a full time job and own their own house/living space. 2) Smoking also heavily effects your brain and is just dumb.

That used to happen to me. I used to feel awful and really gastrous just before seeing or even talking to my lady. Eventually your body will get accustomed to her, and you'll stop feeling it entirely. You may think you feel comfortable around her, but obviously deep down somewhere, there's something holding you back. With any luck (and it probly will happen) your body will just stop acting so frustrating and nervous. Try to relax, and make her feel comfortable, and in turn you will feel the same. Just remember, there's no reason to feel nervous around her: she's already with you ;-)

So with the death of Michael Jackson being so popular (I'm sick of hearing about it, too.) I decided to hunt through my parents belongings to see if I could find any merch worth a pretty penny. I was stunned when I found an original LP record un-opened of MJ's "Thriller". Still with it's original stickers and lamination and everything. It's pretty cool. Anyone know how much these things go for? Or should I just hold out and get more for it later? Anywho, discuss collectibles that you've found in your house/grandparents'/relatives' houses that turned out to be valuable. Some I've found are pretty interesting.

You should not name the letter of the drive, just say CD/DVD drive, since it's a different letter for everyone. At least in my experience it is. On the computer I use the most it's N:, and on the other computer it's G:. Huh. Never knew that. In my experience the disc drive has always been either 'D' or 'E'. I'll edit it though. I have had my hard drive re-assigned from "C" to "H" once. I guess it's possible.

I got a few: 1) Disc Drive Reading If a disc does not register at all in your disc tray, make sure that the type of the CD is compatible with your disc drive. There is a difference between a CD-ROM and a DVD-ROM. Some drives can't read both. 2) DeepDive (virus) I've had to deal with this bugger a few times. It first appears as a "Buffer Overflow Error" in your security systems and firewalls, which eventually locks you out of the internet. To free yourself of this thing, go into C:\Program Files\Common and delete all files with the name "helper.dll" or anything of a similiar name. Doing so will resolve the error, grant you internet accsess and delete DeepDive. 3) Cutwail.a!rootkit (Trojan) Biggest [wagon] I've dealt with on my current computer. It's rough, it's aggressive and it's nasty. To rid yourself of it do the following immidiatly: 1. Google "malwarebytes" 2. download the latest version of the "malwarebytes" 3. Rip out the connection to the internet manually by unplugging the ethernet cable/power cord 4. run scan using "malwarebytes" 5. delete all quarenteened files. [editted]

You could set her up in a classic sit-com situation where he catches her in the act of soing so - or much simpler: show him the texts if you're that worried. Honestly you should let it be unless you get solid proof though. It kind of sucks to here that your girl isn't faithful. No matter who is telling you. *sigh* Oh you remind me so much of myself, not all that long ago. You're going to have to ask yourself 3 questions: 1. Do you love her. Really? 2. Does she love you the same way? 3. Are you truly happy with the relationship you are in? If you are not pleased with evven one of the answers to these questions - End it before it gets worse. If I were you, I'd get out before she really starts walking on you. It's humiliating, degrading, and heart wrenching. I don't wish for you to experience that. I'm also concerned with the fact that you consider her your best friend. There was once a frequent user (an advisor, not a advise seeker) who was obsessed with the dreaded "friend zone" (the useranme escapes me, but vets of this thread may remember them). Anywho, their major argument that was in most divorce courts the phrase "he/she wasn't just my lover; they were my best friend" was uttered. So hearing you mention such a relationship frightens me with the memory of the truth in the quote. Be wary friend. But for the moment - Watch yourself on the controlling aspect. Don't act controlling. No one likes that. Don't sweat it. Insecurity is not a good feature on a mate. She may or may not have done something you would disapprove of. But honestly, she probably didn't if you have a good healthy relationship. I'd be worried in your position, but try to keep your cool. Believe her for now, but you may want to watch out for more strrange behavior. Report it here if a larger problem ensues from this. We'll be here to help ;) It's valiant of you to try to retake her friendship without trying to get her back. If you think you can handle it, you're going to have to wait a while. Atleast until she lets her guard down. When she "gets over you" (which you should have no problem with, because you are trying to be her friend) you can then move in and do some repair work between the two of you. I hope those are your intentions anyway. Since she still loves you and what not, there's a chance you could win her back. But don't hold you're breath. Welcome to the epitome of confusion. If you seek further help on the subject, give us another more deatiled update. Oh, and Welcome back IgoddessI! :D

I'm pro-welfare. I just wish people would stop abusing it when they don't need it. There are some people out there that don't deserve the financial situation they're in, which is where welfare comes in to save the day. Some people really should be poor, but it's really not fair for one guy to have millions, when another has less than nothing. Bottomline: Welfare good.

Sounds like a good idea...but "put on the spot"? Also want to add another problem...."A" who's been my friend for 3 years told me today that she wanted to end it, that she felt sad everytime she got a text or heard from me at all....she wouldn't tell me why though. Any ideas? I really like her, and well obviously I'd like to umm make amends Wtf? What kind of friend says something like that and then doesn't explain it? Give her space. Don't worry about it for now. You can recover in a few weeks with a nice little conversation. How often did you hang out with her? Actually not often, she says she doesn't grow close to people btw. It was text based at first because her parents were so protective. Then during the past year, whenever her busy schedule allowed, we met up....she says she's been feeling upset everytime she receives contact from me for a year Well that's really bizzare. Has she ever seemed upset while you were with her? I find this situation highly strange. Almost like it was her that was texting you. I'm curious to know wtf's up, so fill us in if when you find out. In the mean time though, like I said I suggest you just back away for now. Maybe talk to some mutual friends for details (if there are any). Try not to cause to much drama over it, even if it feels nesesary. Maybe we are both misunderstanding something. Are you sure that she implied that you are the reason that she's upset? Yep, unfortunately. I don't even know what I've done. Not even one of her best friends knows why..she says she'll talk to her though, which is something I know...bizarre huh? [/hide] I texted her today just saying that while I still didn't understand I wanted her to know that I'd still be there for her. She hasn't replied, i didn't expect her to. I also wished her a happy birthday seeing as her birthday is tomorrow Wishing her a happy birthday is fine, but didn't you just do exactly what I advised against? ;) :shame:

Yeah, that's what I'm going to do. I checked the website of the product, plugged in the serial code and a bunch of other nonsene and it turns out the reason is because it's only CD-ROM compatible, while Oblivion was a DVD-ROM style disc. :wall: . Pain in my [wagon], but thankfully, crisis averted. Thanks for the help :)

Not quite sure how to describe the problem, but the "Disc read Error" message will suffice. I've been using my (D:) drive a lot recently to copy CDs. I made 200 odd copies of a few files, which left my drive pretty worn out. I left it alone for a few days, and put in some other CDs (audio and programs) and they all seem to work the way they should. But here is my problem. My friend lent me Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion, and excited to play I popped it right in my disc drive. The disc wirrs for a second. Stops. Sounds like it's going to start up again. Spins twice. Stops. And then gives up. So my computer doesn't even register the fact that there is a disc in it's tray. Is there a way to solve this problem?

Well thank you for sharing with us. Before I begin, I'd like to point out that you came here for help, and that's what you'll get. Unless someone decides to give you a semi-humurous sarcastic remark. But that doesn't happen here. True gurus will help all, not just those who need it most. Needing help is needing help, no need to humble yourself. Pleasantries asside: She doesn't seem to apreciate your existance much. I believe "F" was this girl, and some other girl is the one you're looking to befriend. Correct? I'm sure there are more ways of meeting with the friend-girl (from now on, let's call her "A"). For instance, waiting for "A" to show up near where "F" always does, isn't working. Now obviusly you can't know "F" 's schedule with out a bit of stalking, so here is a bit of a solution: Next time you see "A" - have a very interesting conversation ready. Really just take command of the atmosphere and be confident and friendly and he like. Ask her for her number so that you may do something or hang out or whatever. I realize this is how you pick up girls for the most part, but you can pick up friends the same way basically. (in fact in this case you WANT the friend zone). You don't have to worry about attraction and all of that, literally just be yourself. Get her numbere so you can meet her where "F" isn't. Sorry that took such a long time for such a simple answer ^^;

Roaches are actually the only living creature able to survive nuclear fall out....so...no. I'd say if the bomb happened to land on the roach it's self, however the way nuclear bombs work, they never actually touch the ground. So unless you're willing to carpet bomb/agent orange your property for a few days.... :? But yeah, if it's as bad as you say it is just call up an exterminator. If it's no that bad, buy some of those sticky poison deals you can find at Home Depot. They're kind of gross after use, but they work.

How did you age 2 years in 22 months? That's a neat trick. And you're 14/15 (I can't tell, since you seem to be using dog years or something of the like) and you want a Dune Buggy? On top of that you have a Go-Kart? Sheesh, get over yourself. It seems like your only problem is the fact that you hate your Dad's new girl. Which is textbook definition normal. I'd have been more shocked had you liked her. Besides, having a car is quite necesary. Much more so than a damn Dune Buggy. I'm pretty sure you wouldn't have been this upset had your biological mom re-arranged your room. Or ate a bit of "your" ice cream. Unless you paid for it yourself, you really should share it. If it's in the family fridge/freezer - it's fair game. [End counter rant.]

lol @ random bump? OT: Harry Potter along with any good series doesn't explain the entire life story of the main character for many a reason. Trust me, I wouldn't want to read about Harry's entire life. Especially after the fall of He-Who-Must-Not-Be-Named. There'd be no conflict. And no conflict makes for a boring as hell story. And yes infact, JK Rollings did put an epilogue into the 7th book. Thank the lord it was only a few pages. It was really cliche, and I prefer to ignore the fact that it ever existed, as it takes away from the otherwise brilliant and original writing style. Harry ends up with Ginny, Hermoine ends up with Ron, and someone had a little Wherewolf baby. So yes, you are over thinking the whole thing.
