I have an older cousin brother. We were pretty close as children, but I haven't seen him for a year. Last week I met him again. It was really strange, my mind completely blanked out when I talked to him, and I had difficulty maintaining eye contact. I said really stupid things and I wasn't able to sustain a conversation.

Anyway, now whenever I think about him, my chest gets really tight, my stomach knots, and I feel depressed.

What is this emotion?

Okay, so I'm in love with this guy. He and I can't have a relationship (for various reasons). However, we're close friends and were getting along just fine. That is, until I met him this weekend- I totally blanked out whenever I spoke to him. Now he's gone and I get really depressed when I think about him. What? Why is this happening? I do not understand.

We're childhood friends, but we were apart for a long time. Now I have a HUGE crush on him- so much that I can't even talk normally to him! I don't know what I should talk to him about- he likes football and heavy metal, and he studies law- all subjects I know nothing about. The one advantage is that I have access to his Facebook account- he broke up with his girlfriend a couple of months ago.

I never get angry. Recently a few of my friends had this huge fight and they started insulting each other and said they didn't want to be calmed down and that they've wanted to say these things for ages and that they were feeling really good saying them.

I don't understand? Could someone explain to me what it's like to be angry? Does it really feel good?

How much on average do you draw? Meaning, how many pictures/hours per day/whatever? Which type is it you use?

I'm using a HP Pavillion dv6 notebook PC. It has 2 graphics cards, onboard graphics and an ATI Radeon. Currently I am using the onboard graphics, how do I switch?

I want to create a 2D platformer. The only programming language I know is Java.

I'm considering Game Maker, Multimedia Fusion 2 and Scirra. I'm sure there are more, too. What do you suppose is best? And what are the pros and cons of each program?

I recently moved away from a country I'd been living in for a long time. My very best friend for all those years(and love interest) is still in touch with me, but she doesn't log on to anything but Skype, so I talk to her there.

Anyway, I never talked to her over the internet before I moved. It turns out that she has this group of online friends of which she practically worships one(let's call her S). Unfortunately, that person she worships hates me for some unknown reason; in short, she does all sorts of things to hurt me and make me feel excluded and jealous.

I'd just like to quit this whole 'group' thing, but my best friend will only talk to me in a Skype group with these people. Of course, she would agree to talking to me outside of it (she's a good friend), but she talks a lot in the group chat and barely says a word on personal chat.

I don't want S to hurt me anymore, (and ignoring all the things she does is very difficult for me, as I'm quite affected by these things), but I want to talk to my best friend as much as possible. What should I do?

They aren't available in any local stores.

I live in South Asia.

We just adopted a cat from a friend. The previous owner adopted her from the streets when she was 3 weeks old, and never vaccinated her. She's an indoor cat and has a diverticulum in her rectum which will need surgery, but is otherwise healthy.

Is it possible to vaccinate her at eleven months of age?
