I'm having trouble finding a really good monologue about eating disorders that I connect with. If you know of any, please let me know. I'm really interested in reading "The Orange," which I'm pretty sure is by Joyce Carol Oates, but I can't find the text anywhere online. If you have the text for that, that would be excellent. It's a for a Drama Therapy showcase. Thank you!

I just got a new Motorola Droid! I'm confused on how to set up ringtones, though. I bought some songs from Amazon for my phone, so is there any way I can make those songs into ringtones? I really have no idea what I'm doing here. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!

There's this guy, and everyone says he likes me. A lot of people have even asked me if I'm going out with him. The thing is, he's really shy and kind of awkward, so I'm not sure if he does like me. According to other people, it's clear that he does, but I'm not convinced. He teases me a lot, and 95% of the time I'm sure he's kidding, but lately I haven't been so sure. He is nice, too. Like, if I'm upset, he'll stop making obnoxious comments and say something like, "Seriously, are you all right?" Or if I'm nervous about something, he'll try to calm me down. So is he just a good friend who likes to tease me, or does he like me?

Also, if he does like me, how can I get him to ask me out? He's not the type of guy to ask someone out. In his only previous relationship, the girl asked him. I could ask him, but I'd feel really uncomfortable doing that, especially since I'm not entirely sure he likes me, or that he's looking for a relationship. This whole thing with him has been going on for almost a year now, and he still hasn't made a move. Is he just being shy, or am I wasting my time?

Help please? Thanks. =)

I've been vegetarian since fifth grade (I'm currently a sophomore in high school), and I want to become vegan. The problem is that I'm an extremely picky eater, and that my mom is very against my becoming vegan. Therefore, becoming vegan would be a big decision. I have some questions:

1. Are animals always (or almost always) treated cruelly in the production of dairy?

2. Isn't it true that cows and such need to be milked for their own health? I'd be becoming vegan in protest of their cruel treatment, but not to stop them from getting the care they need...

3. What are some facts about the treatment of animals that are absolutely true, that I can use to convince my mother to let me go vegan?

4. What would I do for protein? Being vegetarian, I generally get protein from dairy, but that would be out of the question if I was vegan.

Help? Thank you in advance.

This is going to seem like an extremely pathetic question (mostly because it is), but there's this guy who I really, really like, but I'm mostly admiring from afar. We have different groups of friends, so it's not like I hang out with him at all. We have one class together, we occasionally say a few words to each other, but that's really it. I don't know how to go talk to him, because 1. I don't know what to say, and 2. I don't know how to go up to a completely different group of people from my usual group to start a conversation with this guy.

Someone help me here? Please? Ten points for best answer?

Come on, at least take pity on my pathetic single-ness.

Has anyone heard of Acai Berry, the weight loss, antioxidant substance? It's supposed to be healthy, and was recommended by Oprah. I am considering giving it a try. The only thing stopping me from buying it is that I'm not sure what happens when I stop taking them... I mean, I can't take them forever, or I'd just keep losing and losing until I'm sick, but when I stop taking them, am I just going to gain it all back? If anyone has any information about this, please let me know. Thank you! :]

Does anyone know what happened to the "Just for You" section of iTunes? It's been gone for a long time, and I liked that!

:(

Or maybe just someone smarter than I am...

My iTunes account won't download any new shows I put on it, claiming that "The disk I am attempting to use is too full." I don't know what disk it' s talking about, and I don't know how to clear it to create more space. Please help! What can I do clear up this anonymous disk I didn't know I was filling???

I have a MacBook, if it helps. =]

Thank you!!

Sometimes I don't know what I feel. Sometimes I'm just kinda numb. Why did she have to die? Why did she have to go and die? It's not fair to die so young and to leave me and my dad all alone. Sometimes when I think about it, I get so damned mad I don't know what I'll do. It's like I wanna explode. Then, other times, I'm so sad and I cry and I feel so disorganized and alone that I... She was told she had cancer over a year, and that she only had a few months to live. We couldn't believe it, we just couldn't handle the fact that she was going to die. She went through all kinds of treatments and she was so brave up till, up till the end. She spent the last week of her life in the hospital. She called me into the room about fifteen minutes before she died, and we hugged and she told me to be brave, and that she loved me. It was the hardest thing I've ever faced in my life. Coming back to school and moving on with life has been really hard for me, but I know that keeping busy and keeping in touch with friends and staying involved is the best thing. The hardest thing right now is trying to help my dad recover. He's taking it even worse than I am, and sometimes I feel guilty that I'm not as sad as he is. He just has a hard time expressing his grief and getting out all the sadness inside him. I'm sure things will get better in time, but right now, I just feel alone and afraid. It's hard to face the fact that I'll never see my mom again.

Okay, there's the monologue. I'm using it for an audition, and I've been working on it for so long, and I think I have it down. I need it to be PERFECT though, and I haven't been able to get in touch with my private acting teacher. The only advice I've been getting is from friends and family, who don't know theatre very well. Since I can't show you how I do this monologue, I would like for people to just give me their imput on how they would go about performing it. I'm looking for professional opinions. This audition is very important to me, and it will be very difficult for me to stay in character for various reasons. I usually do not have a difficult time staying thoroughly in tune with my character, but I know it will be hard this time. I need all the help I can get. Any professional advice is very, very much appreciated. Thank you so much to anyone who can help me!! <33

I have no idea how to do this, mainly because I don't know how to convert grams to liters. The question is:

The largest nugget of gold on record was found in 1872 in New South Wales, Australia, and weighed 93.3 kg. What was the volume of this nigget in cm3 and liters? [Hint 1 kg=1000g and 1 L=1000cm3]

Any help at all would be GREATLY appreciated. Thank you!!

So my YouTube account tells me that people have "favorited" my vids, but doesn't let me see who they are, or which videos have been favorited. Is there some way to find out this information that I'm unaware of, or is there really no way? Any help is greatly appreciated. Thank you.

So I've created a channel on YouTube, in which I can share my Harry Potter obsession with the world. The only problem is that I have no idea how to get my videos known! It seems like the only way for people to find them is to search something that exactly matches, and hope it comes up... looks like a lot of luck is involved. Is there anything I could be doing to help advertise? My channel is here: http://www.youtube.com/user/RaddishxEarrings, just in case anyone's interested. Thank you!

You know that "magic" thing people do, when they ask you to pick a number, subtract something, divide by something, blah blah blah, and in the end they guess your number? I've been trying to figure out how to do it since fourth grade, and I still can't understand it. I'm going into my sophomore year, and I've decided that it's time I can do this thing. Can someone please explain to me how this works? I can't figure it out!

Okay, I recently bought a pendulum...so far it's been scarily accurate.

The thing is...it told me that my friend is going to be raped.

So I asked it again, and it gave me the same answer.

To clarify things, I asked if she was going to have sex before she is eighteen.

We got a "No."

So I'm freaking out.

How paranoid should I be about this? It's just a pendulum...inanimate object...that happens to be right very often...oh God.

HELP!

I used to cut (as in a few months ago) but only very little. I mean, I barely ripped the skin. It was very minor and not a big deal. However, my mom managed to find out one day, and she's been on my case about it ever since. She broke down crying when she found out, and now whenever I accidentally cut myself shaving, she accuses me of doing it intentionally. I've been fine for a while. I haven't cut at all, and I've been REALLY careful shaving. Nevertheless, I managed to cut myself big time today. It wasn't intentional--not at all, but while I was shaving, the razor sort of slid to the side, and now I have a huge cut the size of Asia on my ankle. It won't stop bleeding. If my mom sees it, she's going to go crazy. She won't let me go to camp this summer, and she'll never stop crying. I need a way to make sure she never sees it, but it's going to be hard. The cut is pretty big. Any suggestions? PLEASE help!!!

A good friend of mine is experiencing many things that I once experienced. However, I was able to get as much help as I needed. I've been encouraging her to go to a psychiatrist, because they can prescribe pills and help her figure out the source of her problems, but she says she can't afford it. I don't know what else to do. I can't just let her die, which will happen either by her eating disorder or suicide, but I have no idea what to do. Someone please help me out.

Does anyone have suggestions on how to do this, and what this character is like? Please help!

Luisa: This morning a bird woke me up. It was a lark, or a peacock; something like that. So I said hello. And it vanished, flew away, the very moment I said hello! It was quite mysterious. So do you know what I did? I went to my mirror and brushed my hair two hundred times, without stopping. And as i was brushing it, my hair turned mauve. No, honestly! Mauve! Then red. then some sort of a deep blue when the sun hit it.... I'm sixteen years old, and every day something happens to me. i don't know what to make of it. When i get up in the morning and get dressed, I can tell...something's different. I like to touch my eyelids, because they're never quite the same. oh, oh, oh! I hug myself till my arms turn blue, then I close my eyes and cry and cry till the tears come down and I can taste them. I love to taste my tears. I am special. I am special! Please god, please, don't let me be norma

She's fifteen, and is headed in the wrong direction. I'm a survivor of anorexia, so I know what that alone can do to a person. The drugs and sex stuff I'm not so familiar with, but I'm really worried about her! She's only fifteen, and she's hanging out with some really bad people. She's a good person, but she acts like such a...I don't know...whore, I guess. God, I don't know what to do, but I really want to help her. Any suggestions?

I am a recovered anorexic, and I'm now a healthy weight. Still, I want to lose about twenty pounds. I need to be really careful, though, because I don't want to relapse. I started eating less and exercising more, but I gained. I don't understand. I'm doing everything people say to do to lose weight, but I gained. Do I need to starve myself again to lose? Someone please explain this to me.

My friend's mom said the phrase "better than us", and I corrected her that it is actually "better than we." She has been arguing with me about it ever since. She insists that it could either be "us" or "we are" but "we" is wrong. I told her that it could be "we" or "we are" but not "us". She still thinks that I'm wrong. I need some solid proof that I am correct, because it's starting to really annoy that my friend and her mom keep telling me I'm wrong, when I know I'm not. Please help! Thank you!
