Lena Moreno
Artist from the 1980's, Australian accent, sings in a very disjointed/syncopated way?
I'm pretty sure his first name is Colin. His album cover is a drawing of his face over a blue background of the ocean. I can't remember his name but his singing style is distinctly disjointed and accented.
Any help in figuring out who this guy is is appreciated!
1 AnswerLyrics8 years agoAre PSAT scores an accurate prediction of SAT scores?
I got PSAT scores back today. I'm only a sophomore so I didn't study or anything for the test so I could know how well I would do with just my own knowledge. I got a 64 in reading, 51 in math, and 68 in writing. Is that any prediction at all for how well I'll do on the SAT? Obviously I would be studying before I took the SAT but other than that :)
4 AnswersPrimary & Secondary Education8 years agoI don't have a clue what career I aim to have?
Well I'm only a freshmen in high school but I honestly have NO idea what I want to do when I "grow up". I'm in all advanced classes & set to get an IB (International Baccalaureate) diploma when I graduate. I play the violin and I also swim for my school team. I don't mean to sound cocky but if can keep this up throughout high school I'm pretty sure I'll have the option to study for any career I want.
But I don't know what to do! I'm good in english, writing papers and such, especially persuasive essays. But not stories, so I don't think I'd like to be a novelist:P So I was thinking along those lines. But what HIGH-PAYING jobs are there? Because I know journalists don't usually make too much money and I don't really know of anything else. I'm also pretty terrible at math, so I don't think I'd be able to be a scientist or doctor or another due to the courses. I'm also a girl if that affects anything (hope it doesn't! :) ).
3 AnswersOther - Careers & Employment9 years agoI really like this guy but everyone says I can do better?
I feel pretty dumb asking random people on the internet about my love life ahaha but my best friend just thinks he's (lets call "him" John) a jerk, and other people I've tried to talk to just don't understand, I'm usually happy-go-lucky and quirky, not serious and romanticxP.
Welllll. I met "John" this year in school and I always thought he was really good looking. We were friends for a while, and then I realized that I didn't just like his looks, I liked him. So everything was going great, we told eachother how we felt and all that jazz. One time we were talking on the phone and he asked me out, but called back like a minute later and told me "it was just to see what you'd say" and that "it was a joke". I was MAD; but I just told him it was fine. After that everything just kinda fizzled out, and I was pretty bummed, (still mad though!:P).
Then a couple weeks after the "fizzle" x) after school at a swim meet (I swim) we were hanging out and when he had to leave he asked for a kiss! We made out a little (not in a gross way) and then he left. After that we kiss sometimes, in public and in private. We aren't dating and it's so awkward when people ask me if we are, but of course I say no. We haven't kissed for like 2 weeks maybe.
Basically, I like this guy a lot and I usually am VERY guarded about boys. I just like everything about him but I'm beginning to feel used, yknow? It's not liked I don't like kissing him, and I kiss him back, but still. My best friend is always telling me I can do better, that he's not right for me. I KNOW I should listen but I just need advice from an outside source:(
SORRY this is so dang long!
1 AnswerSingles & Dating10 years agoHolding hands/kissing a guy you're not dating? Advice needed?
If I described our relationship it would be "its' complicated";P. We've been friends since about September of this year probably and we told eachother that we liked the other around then (sorry if that's confusing hahaha!). It's so weird, like I feel like we're dating but we're not.. when we first starting becoming friends he asked me out "as a joke" -.- and it got really awkward cuz I was slightly hurt. it took a while but then we started being friends again. Then this monday in the class we have together we were holding hands during the lecture:) & then yesterday he came to watch a swim meet with me (i swim) and when he had to go he asked me to kiss him! on the inside I was freaking out lol so I kissed his cheekx) but then he was like "nooo" and we kissed on the lips. then we made out for a little (not grossly haha). it was nice:) But I don't really understand what this "makes" us? Any advice? Oh and we're both freshman in high school.
1 AnswerSingles & Dating10 years agoIs it possible to burn 670 calories in 45 minutes while dancing vigorously?
First off I'm 5'6 about 125lbs, and a girl. I was playing the video game Just Dance 2 on the workout mode. So I looked it up online what the "sweat points" meant and many people said that 4.2 sweat points= 1 calories, so I divided the sweat points I had (about 2700) by 4.2 and got about 670! I mean, I was dancing pretty fast and erratically:) but is it really possible that I can burn that many calories in so little time?
2 AnswersDiet & Fitness10 years agoHow to get my friend to forgive me?
Well, about 15 days or so ago, I had these two friends over. I was not feeling great & then I just got this weird feeling they were excluding me a bit. I admit I acted kind of like a baby & I just excused myself and took a nap:P.
They went home and did something together idk what, but I then texted this friend and said that she left her sunglasses at my house. She replied back but she was being snippy and rude. I sort of understood how she would be ticked off at me so I left her alone for like a week. Then I texted her about an event coming up that we're both invloved in. She didn't text me back. Then yesterday I just wanted this to be over with and just texted her "hey:)"... she didn't reply back to me.
She even got our other friend "L" (who follows everything the mad friend says, but thats another story) to be angry at me, which makes no sense because she wasn't involved at all. "L" is throwing a welcome back party for the mad friend (shes on vacay) and guess who didn't invite me? But anyways is there anything I should do? Or do I just let her realize that she's mad over one petty afternoon.

1 AnswerSwimming & Diving1 decade agoMy parents are being very stupid, how can they not understand?
Of all things, it's about cell phones. My current cell phone died (env3) and I need a new one. They understand that. What they don't understand is that I'm not going to get a shitty phone that doesn't do anything. When we're at home they're all about me getting a droid or other smartphone. When we're in the Verizon store they go batshit and say I'm trying to "control" them and saying that I tell them "I have the right to have a cell phone" . I never used either of those words or anything similar? A few minutes ago I went on the Verizon website and looked at the "FEATURE" phones, ( at the reviews) and tried to show them to my dad. I was reading some out loud and he just went ballistic, calling me "full of sh__" and saying things like "who do you think you are". I was reading REAL reviews for the cell phone HE wanted me to buy! Why can't they understand that it's not 1990 or something and I can't just get a phone that only calls people?! It makes me so angry and embarrassed that he won't just pay 120 dollars a year more for a cell phone that we all know I need for security reasons.

1 AnswerDiet & Fitness1 decade agoI'm depressed right now, and none of my friends seem to care?
Uhg. I just feel uneasy like something horrible is about to happen. But all of my friends seem to just ignore me? Today during lunch I was just sitting ata bench all alone just staring andnog one of my 'friends' even bothered to ask what was wrong. I can't tell if they all just suddenly hate me or if they are trying to give me space or something. Because I remember when we were all little kids I wodnt ever want to talk or be around anyone when I was upset,and ilet them know that. But that doesnt mean I likebeing completely ignored. Everything just gets me right now I'm overly sensitive. Like my friends boyfriend just randomly came up to me when i was sitting by myself and starting calling me an asshole. And my friend just stood there next to him not saying anything. I'm so patheticmy own friends wont even stand up for me. Okay sorry I just needed to vent I'm going crazy in my own head. Thanks.

1 AnswerDiet & Fitness1 decade agoNone of my friends want to hang out with me/ tell secrets to me anymore?
yeah im like really pathetic. So I have more friends at school and stuff but my 'best friends' are these 4 or 5 girls. And all the sudden they are all hanging out and doing stuff without me. like 3 or them are even going to seattle together (we live in phoenix) and I never even knew about it. And they all always talk about the guys they like in code names and they wont ever tell me who they are. Like wtf? I didn't do anything to betray their trust? so why wont they tell me! Like literally my friend "A" was talking about "bob" and I was like, "whos bob?" and she goes" nobody idk ". but she already told all our other friends!? who would i tell? my dog? wtf.
And today I texted 4 of them and only 2 replied. so I was like okay fine, and I asked those two if they wanted to hangout. One is going to seattle and she said "maybe" then I said "ok well ill tell you if were going somewhere(:" and all she says is "k". And them my other friend said"sure!" and we were making plans to go see a movie. Then all the sudden she just stopped replying? and I was all "uh hello?:)" and then 30minutes later I said "Okay well nevermind then see ya". And she never texted back.
okay so basically how can I be more exciting so my friends will invite me to do stuff with them. This is all because I don't have a facebook to make plans and stuff AND because I only have 2 classes with some of them (3 of them) in school. By the way we're in 8th grade. Please help I just want to be with my friends again.

Im not sexually active so its not herpes or anything. It's like across from my clitoris, near the thigh, not the actual opening part. I found it yesterday, looked it up online and then tried to pop it like a pimple... One word EW. It popped and let out a little bit of pus like stuff (yellowy) and a biiiiit of blood. Only a small amount though, the bump is still there. It's hard to tell if it's huge or anything but it's about the size of a dime. It is raised about 3 mm. It is only painful when I push on it. What the hell is it though?! And how do I get rid of it?! Btw no doctors unless it's absolutely neccasery I'm only 14 years old.please help sorry for the long description:(
