Whatever Life Throws At You

I have a guy friend and he's starting to become my BEST friend because my ex bestie (a girl) has been sketching out on me. Not the first time this has happened since we moved. But there's this guy friend, who I've been getting closer to. The thing is I told him I like him at the beginning of the year. It was all good afterward when he said he didn't like me, though a bit awkward and he avoided me for some time but we're good friends now and we're getting closer through photography and drugs and hanging out and stuff (sorry, but we're teenagers!) But see, the thing is we're both kind of hot & cold.Sometimes we notice each other in the halls, sometimes we're mutually invisible. Sometimes we text a ton sometimes we don't answer each other for hours. And of course, he's got his best guy-friend who he spends a lot of time with and I'm not entirely comfortable with yet. I'm asking if you think there's the potential to be best friends or if I should realize that it's only ever going to be a one way street. I've only had three BEST FRIENDS who I would trust with my deepest darkest secrets and my life. Since we've moved, all of the friends I've trusted enough to be potential besties and really made an effort with have ditched me. In short, I'm scared to put my heart on the line and I'm wondering if it's worth it with this guy friend (plus I've never had a best guy friend before!). But aren't best friendships supposed to come along naturally? I think I stress too much about these things. Except I don't have a bestie to tell this all too so in a way it makes sense. Thanks for reading! What should I do?

I do crunches for my stomach and stand on the edge of the stairs pushing myself up to exercise my abs and calves. I'm at a loss though for a simple arm exercise. I've tried just holding them out (which gets pretty intense) but it's so boring! I've also tried pushing myself up with my hands on the table, which works except I don't always have a table. And pushups SUCK. Any ideas?

I'm obviously going to wait a while, but I am seriously considering Newton's 3rd law on my wrists:

"For every action there is an equal and opposite reaction"

in white ink/edwardian script. I'm not sure where to seperate it though... Any ideas?

My other plans involve:

uv stars around newton quote from wrist to back of hand (only on left).

if not newton's quote then two (graphic design) quotation marks in black? one on each wrist facing me

The number 23 (graphic design) on back of neck OR just three dots.

And what are some other good quotes? I love the one "Too weird to live, too rare to die"... and I once saw a pic of this girl with the rewind, fast forward, and play button symbols on the inside of her arm.

Thanks!

I told my guy friend I like him because he recently broke up with his long-term gf. He said he "doesn't see me that way", and I was kind of hurt but still pretty cool with it. We are spending progressively more and more time together just because our circle of friends is getting tighter. Which makes it that much harder to ignore my feelings. I've been faring pretty well though and still holding onto a few shreds of hope (thinking now he knows that I like him, he may recipricate).

All was going pretty well and I was slowly getting over him/falling harder for him. I didn't know how much I really liked him. UNTIL I FOUND OUT...

He has a new girlfriend. It pretty much broke my heart. Over the weekend he got hurt and now it made me realize just how much I really like him. Ugh...

To top it off? She's in one of my classes. I don't really like her as she seems a bit... trashy and stuff, but I respect him and her going out together.

I just don't know how to handle myself though as our friendship gets closer and I DO see him (and her!) basically every freaking day.

Not to mention the fact that I can barely look at two strangers holding hands, let alone them. Help me?

In detail please, no "house, kids, career" etc. That gets really boring after the Nth time. Thanks! :D

Any aspects..

I'm curious.

Some of the details come in REALLY SHARP and then others are just kid of vague. Like I know that I want six types of dogs (aussie, great dane, flat coated retriever, papillon, nsdtr, husky) and a clawfoot bathtub...

I also want to:

Travel India, Asia & Australia, become a vegan, work in graphic design, have a few kids (Poppy, Leyna, Jack, Edward, Oliver) with my (indie?) husband, and volunteer a lot at the ASPCA (and/or run a self-sustaining household). Among many other things.

;)

My life sounds fun, and I'm shaping it to be that way, to fit who I am. What is your life like or going to be like?

My best friend is in a relationship with a guy, and I was really happy for her because its her first one. I was even jealous for a while because everyone has someone special except me. Was. Because then I met him.

1) He has a lisp and is really hard to understand.

2) He's 23 years old.

3) She's sneaking around with him behind her family's back.

4) When he's there she's content; when's she's thinking about him she

's happy; when he's not there, she's depressed and takes it out on the rest of us.

5) They don't seem to be too into EACH OTHER. It's like the'yre just doing the bf/gf for the comfort of it.

6) Again, he's 23 years old. What is he doing with a 16 year old girl?

7) We got together at an amusement park and at one point were joking around. I bended over a rail to pick up some litter and he slapped my ***. Really hard. And my best friend (his gf!) was right standing in his arms!?! What kind of guy thinks its okay to do that?

8) He kept on finding excuses to put his arms around my waist. It was awkward because I think he emits the creeper vibe. Strongly. And he has a girlfriend. My best friend! I just kept on looking at her, trying to telepathically scream "Get him out of here!"

9) Me and my best friend have another best friend who went with us, along with some guy friends who left early(before #7). She doesn't like him either.

So, who am I to be weirded out by their relationship as I have never had a bf myself? Well, my other best girlfriend doesn't think its right, I certainly don't, and neither would her family. So I was wondering, how is she justifying this to herself and WHAT DO YOU THINK? because quite frankly I don't know how to tel her that he's not right for her... or if I can even think this being that I'm not her.

(LONG)

There's this guy in my photo class that I'm beginning to like. I mean, REALLY like. He's got long hair, is good at photo, and is intensely mellow. I mean, he laughs and stuff but compared to me he's a freaking mouse. I really like him for this though. He just goes with the flow, kind of like me (just quieter). But his mellowness means I don't know what he's thinking and I feel obtrusive/obvious if I ask. So, I was wondering... he's got an older girlfriend (has a pic on flickr) but I feel as if things can't be too intense because he's not very open about her. She's also fat, which kind of makes me feel better about his possibly liking me because I've only got love handles (my BMI is perfect...). I know that sounds bitchy, but I just can't help but like him. ? So how can I flirt with him without being too obvious as he already has a girlfriend? Because I'd at least like him to know that I'm not celibateThanks. :)

I lost the login page url when my computer died and I need it badly now! The website was a very specific one, not just odysseyware.com. THANK YOU SO MUCH!

lol. saw some bumper stickers on facebook...

kill harry,

draw a scar on his forhead while he's drunk/sleeping

any more suggestions?

purely for entertainment... ;D

common puerto rican music. please? i need some in my playlist SO badly. no too rappy, or santana.

well known, but you'd never get sick of it. atleast, not for a while.

I had these family friends who always played great music (i'm in love with drums, which just happens to be a large part of puerto rican culture!). Except I don't know how to find any of it. I've tried looking for stuff on here but the genres are so confusing to me. Do you know what I could listen to, just mainstream popular music? I just need some new stuff in my playlist really badly. All I remember was that it was a mix between pure instrumentals, santana, and something like pitbull (sometimes). THANK YOU SOOO MUCH!

I am traveling and need a way to visualize my flights from one country to another. Where can I do this online? Google maps won't cover international flights. Thanks!

I've been having a lot of trouble lately with my teachers, grades, office personel, everyone really. Everyone asks me what I need in order to learn because I am a visual-spatial learner and I SHOULD know how my mind works, except I don't know how to learn with it, as all my peers have been sequential learners. Every time I tell them something though, they turn it into my own burden, rather than holding my hand while I try to pick myself up. I get frustrated because it's MY LIFE that is on the line, but they take it as a sign that I'm being uncooperative/stubborn/lazy. I need ways to cope, methods of learning in school, how to be imaginative and active at the same time. My mother is useless as far as home life goes, and the honors teachers (who teach stuff actually worth knowing) teach too sequentially (I've failed humanities twice now). People have been saying for a long time now "Why don't you just do your work? We all have responsibilities and this is one of yours" but I don't think its my responsibility to feel lie **** every day because I THINK DIFFERENTLY AND I NEED INTERESTING MATERIAL. I don't know. Open for any suggestions.

P.S. I'm very liberal, highly creative, and have already read several self help books. :P

1. The main city, futuristic, beginning of architectural style so is important!

2. Wild village in the middle of forest

3. Presiden'ts name?

besides the fact that practically 98% of the female population is in love with edward and/or obsessed with everything twilight. BESIDES that, why? I mean is there really anything wrong with the story? I thought it was quite original. Until all those other vampire authors jumped at the chance to write their own crap, therefore flooding the market with their own versions of a borderline crazy/disgusting topic. SO WHY DO PEOPLE HATE IT?
