I'm making these cheesecake cupcakes for some friends tomorrow:

But I much prefer strawberry to cherry. I was looking for a strawberry topping I can make without using a blender and is generally easy to make. Oh, and it can't have any alcohol either.

Alright, so, here's the problem:

I'm pansexual, agnostic, and in an online relationship (of a sort) with another girl.

This Fall, I'll be living with some of my close family while I attend college. This particular part of my family is Christian and while they're extremely tolerant, I'm still not sure as to how they'll react to this development. (Especially as I've told them otherwise when I was younger.)

Some of them have made vague comments a while ago that if I was atheist/gay/whatever, they'd be okay with it, but some of their more recent comments (not directed towards me) have made me uncomfortable and doubted the truth in what they've said before. I don't want to lie to them about who I am and when I go on without saying something to them when they make those comments, I feel like I AM lying. I'm not sure if I'd be able to hide any of my feelings while I'm living with them either. Is there a good way to address this sort of thing with them? Do I let them find out by themselves?

My computer is nearly 6 years old and DESPERATELY needs more RAM. (It only has 512 MB right now)

I found this:

Kingston Technology - 1GB PC5300 DDR2 DIMM Memory

Computer Compatibility Desktop memory

Memory Size 1GB

Type of Memory PC5300 DDR2

Speed 667MHz

Pin Configuration 240-pin DIMM

On sale at Best Buy. I would buy it, but I'm not sure if it's compatible or not. How would I go about checking to make sure, preferably in a way that wouldn't require me opening up the case? (I'll worry about that once I actually have the memory to be installed.)

My little sister was playing Super Mario Strikers and wondered if Princess Daisy was related to Princess Peach.

Wikipedia doesn't say, so I figured I'd just ask here.

Me and a friend of mine got into a bit of an argument about whether sexual attraction is necessary in a romantic relationship.

My friend thinks that because there's no interest in sex, the relationship is only platonic.

I think that it's possible to love someone romantically without necessarily wanting sex.

Any opinions?

Okay, so...

I admitted to a close friend of mine that I had a "slight crush" on her and she said she had a crush as well. (Which was a complete shock to me because she says she's straight)

Problem is, I wasn't being entirely truthful. I don't think it's just a crush, I think I might be in love with her.

I told this to her boyfriend and he was totally cool with it. He even suggested that I tell her how I really feel.

I really want to tell her, even if nothing come from it because I feel like I'm being dishonest with her if I don't.

But at the same time, I'm terrified that things might get awkward between us as friends afterwards.

What do you think I should do? Should I be honest with her and tell her how I feel or just stay quiet and leave things as they are?

I accidentally spilled like 1/4 a bottle of detergent on the carpet in my dorm! I managed to towel up some of it and I scraped some off the top, but there's still a stain and still some left in the carpet. Is there anything I can do to get the rest of it up?

I seem to remember hearing about study that proved this, so I'm curious to hear if anyone else agrees with it.

It seems plausible just based on my own experiences;

A lot of girls I know at my school are openly bi, probably at least 1/3, then I've seen quite a few girls who consider themselves straight flirting with their friends and talking about different girls who they "would totally be gay for".

A bi friend of mine has commented on the fact that almost every time she's had a girl sleep over at her house, they've admitted to her that they've wondered what it would be like to be with another girl.

Does anyone else see this? Or do I just hang out with weird people?

Every time you respond to something he says, he goes off in a corner and jerks off.

Then cries about how alone he is.

The best thing to do is just IGNORE him and anyone else like him.

Thank you. Good night.

(*sigh* I just wasted 5 points. -_-;)

When I was younger and still a Christian, I always thought of Heaven where everyone is happy and content.

Even back then, I wondered how that was possible. People are so different, it seems to me that there's going to be contradictions and paradoxes.

Of course, then I figured it would make sense when I got older, but I'm still wondering that question today.

It doesn't really matter to me anymore, I'm not a Christian anymore and I don't believe in Heaven, but I'm curious.

How can there be a true Heaven where everyone is totally happy?

(By the way, if I'm wrong about anything or said something offensive somehow, please let me know)

An official meaning would be nice if there is one, but if not speculation is fine. If anyone needs an MP3 it can be found here: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=LSOA0C0N

The song is Carbon by Tori Amos.

carbon made found her at the

end of a chain "time to race"

she said "race the downhill"

behind crystalline irises

loons can drive

where the world bleeds white

just keep your eyes on her

keep

don't look away

keep your eyes on her horizon

bear claw free fall

a gunner's view black and blue

shred in ribbons of lithium

blow by blow

her mind cut in sheets

layers deep now unravelling

just keep your eyes on her.

get me neil on the line

no i can't hold

have him read "snow glass apples"

where nothing is what it seems

"little sis you must crack this"

he says to me

"you must go in again carbon

made only wants to be unmade"

blade to ice it's

double diamond time

and keep your eyes on her

on her eyes on her horizon

I'm looking for a way to get back at my obnoixious cousin and I want a prank I can pull on her while she's sleeping.

I can't do anything too mean to her, her mother would kill me. But I do want to mess with her a bit.

I've already drawn on her face and I don't want to do the hand-in-warm-water trick.

Anything that may take her a while to notice or something that'd be hard to trace would be great.

I think I might be in love with a close friend of mine. We've been friends for at least 5 years now and I try to be with her as much as possible. She's got a talent for making me laugh and cheering me up when I'm depressed. And I find myself thinking about her randomly through the day like: "She would really like to see this" or "I wonder what she would think about this."

But as much as I like being around her, I'm not really sexually attracted to her at all. Does this sound like love or a crush to you, or is just friendship?

I'm really looking forward to these:

Spore(A huge simulator type game where you start from cells and evolve until you have a sentient being that can build cities and even seed other planets.),

Okami (A platformer where you control a wolf god who can modify then environment by using her tail as a brush.),

and .hack//GU (a RPG that takes place in an super advanced online world, "The World.")

Are there any games that you're waiting for? Say what they are, their genre, a bit of the plot, and the release date, if you can.

My family stayed in a villa in Florida about a month ago and one evening we came home to find a scorpion in our kitchen. It was small (about an inch and a half long) and a sandy yellow color. We got rid of it without being stung, but what I'd like to know if there is normally scorpions in Florida and if so, are any of them deady?

How can psycopaths justify the sick crimes they commit? Like murder, rape, abuse...

Hint: Maybe this should go under books and authors. ^_~

I can understand abbreviating some words and phrases, like "BRB" for "be right back" but why do people need to turn words like "Why" into "y" or "are" into "r"? Is it really that hard to type 2 more letters?
