I'm really interested in getting Skyrim for PC/mac, but I haven't got the slightest clue what I'll need to run it. I've gotten tired of playing the xbox version, and want to start using mods.

SO, with Skyrim & a good chunk of mods, would my current laptop do the trick? I've heard that macs aren't the best for gaming, but nothing more.

Processor 2.5 GHz Intel Core i5

Memory 4 GB 1600 MHz DDR3

Graphics Intel HD Graphics 4000 1024 MB

13-inch (1280 x 800)

The memory can be upgraded to 8 GB if necessary, though I'm honestly not sure if the current amount would be a problem.

Thank you very much!

Steven ---> Steford

Joanna ---> Jovene

Katherine ---> Katriel

Elizabeth ---> Elishva

The last name would be Estmund, with our banner a swan chained in silver by the neck, and a red backdrop. The surname and banner are researched and real, I just made up the first names. XD I was bored and I love those books.

When I hear of dismal, sad stories, I often feel as if I should suffer in the same way. With the Holocaust, I often feel as if I should have lived then, as a Jew, and suffered alongside them all in the concentration camps. I want to feel the same pains as they felt. I'm in a partial program at a hospital, and when I learned that lots of the girls were cutting, I had the urge to start as well . . . some twisted way of being empathetic. And I still feel like I should cut myself. Badly. And I don't want to, but at the same time I do. I've been diagnosed with social anxiety disorder as well as depression, but I feel as if there's something left unnamed in me. Something that makes me . . . stranger than I appear.

Please help? I was thinking that I might be a masochist, though I believe that's more sexual? Please let me know if I'm wrong. Sorry, if that's the case.

Without having a video chat, just text?

Thank you <3

Take your current medical history, and think through how you would have fared if everything had taken place during the 19th century. Take a look at your family members as well! It's a bit on the scay side... D:

I'm pretty sure that I would still be alive, if a bad knee cut during my childhood didn't lead to awful

infection. It did get a bit ugly, but I think that I would have survived.

My sister, on the other hand, probably wouldn't be alive. She was born with the umbillical cord wrapped around her neck, and had she survived birth, she would have been mentally handicapped. She had pneumonia around ten, and could have easily died from that as well.

I think the rest of my family would be alright, though with depression and anxiety untreated, I would not be living much of a life.

I'm honestly just so confused about my sexuality. First off, I don't thonk that I'm transgendered, because I don't feel like a man trapped inside of a wkman's body...but I do sometimes think that I should have been born a gay boy instead of a girl. The reason being that I am sexually attracted to gay men. Also straight men, but there I'm pickier. It's really horrible (not in a discriminatory way, I have incredible respect for gays and would never try to "turn" them), but when I see an attractive gay guy I instantly start to crush on them. All of the straight guys are unattainable, actors and models I'll likely never meet. I find gay men to be more desirable, I feel a bond with them, as if we're going through the same thing. I do enjoy being a girl, but sometimes I wish that I had boy parts intead...mostly for sexual & practical reasons, but still. I know in my heart that if I were a boy I would be gay...maybe I'm just having a difficult time connecting with that part of myself?

I can't help but feel a bond and then crush with many gay guys. I know that you might think I'm being melodramatic or just plain silly, but I feel as if I should have been born a gay boy instead of a girl. I don't think that I'm transgendered, because i don't feel trapped in my body or anything, I do find straight guys attractive as well, I just have an unfortunate attraction to gay guys...unfortunate because I strongly doubt the feelings will ever be mutual. I'm just confused as to how I could be sexually attracted to both gay and straight men? Maybe even more to gays? D:

Just curious! I find myself to be very open towards the idea of gay men, but have a harder time wrapping my head around lesbians. Not thatI dislike them or anything, I'm still sipportive, it just seems even more foreign.

I'm not sure if that's the norm or opposite of the general feeling towards homosexuals?

Before reading, keep in mind that appearances and judgements are quiet important to these hypothetical young women. They know it's not the best of traits, but it is very expertly crafted to their personalities.

Say you know a pair of identical twins. Petite, pretty with pale skin and yellowish blond hair. Dark blue, nearly black eyes. Full lips. And a nose with a small hump, really more of a bump, but large enough to upset their profiles.

Neither of the twins like their nose. They view it as a large fault, and cannot completely accept themselves as pretty because of it. One of the twins decides to make herself happy once and for all and schedules a rhinoplasty. She has the bridge of her nose shaved down into a graceful curve, better suited to her other features, but leaves the rest of her face be. Looking at her straight on, there is no noticeable difference. She is very happy with the results and can accept her appearance now.

The other twin very strongly considers rhinoplasty, but decides not to give in to her desires to have a pretty nose. She doesn't see herself as pretty, and instead feels reassured only slightly by the compliments of others, and her disbelief is often mistaken for modesty. She doesn't want to be fake, citing that had she been born a hundred years earlier there would be no option for surgery. But secretly she wants it, she wants to feel as beautiful as her sister does. She's just worried about what will be said of the girl with a fake nose.

Now, the question. Which of the twins do you feel is making the better decision? And why?

I always used to get anxiety about taking a test or not handing in homework, little things that seemed incredibly important at the time. But now I feel like EVERYTHING makes my stomach churn.

Just watching the Grammy's, I got nervous because I desperately want to act, and was thinking about what it would be like if I could make my dreams come true and maybe be sitting there, in the audience, in ten or twenty years. And just the thought of it was so daunting, the pressure of being worthy of that fame...it made me freak out internally and I had to stop watching. I was starting to feel sick to my stomach.

Now, I've missed a few days of school because of depression-like symptoms (I'm not sure if I have depression, I haven't been screened for it or anything, but I am working towards getting better, however slowly), and the thought of going back to school and seeing my teachers disappointed in me just makes me sick. I know that they're supportive of me, which just makes it seem even more silly.

When I went to go see a professional to talk to, I felt like my bones had turned to liquid before we left home. I just felt as if I needed to sit down, or I'd melt right into the floor. And this happens whenever I'm really nervous. I feel very weak and my stomach churns, and I just cannot stop it. I tried deep breaths and I tried fiddling with something to distract myself, but it doesn't help.

I also have very low self confidence, which probably doesn't help with the anxiety. I feel like I'm always going to mess up or won't be capable of doing things right.

Please help! I would appreciate all advice. <3

Is that a good combination? From a distance my eyes look very dark grey. I also have freckles, but they're mostly faded.

I got my period when I was 14, roughly 2 months before I turned 15. Now I'm barely 16 (October birthday), and am about 5'3", maybe a smidge taller. I've only grown an inch or two since I got my period, and am hoping to grow taller. I'm definitely a late bloomer, my boobs have just started actually growing, and I'm thin as a stick, though I gained 15 pounds this past year to get to 100. My mom is 5'3, my dad is 5'11. How much taller do you think I'll get? Developement-wise I don't take after my mother, so I'm kind of hoping that I've gotten my father's height, and am going to keep growing for a while.

I watched a youtube video, a pronunciation meme or something, and the girl in the video said that she wished she called the TV remote a clicker like old people. LOL my whole family calls it the clicker. We're from New England.

So, what do you call it? Do you think it's a local thing?

A girl that I knew moved out of state a few years ago, and we were good friends a while before that. I had thought of writing her a letter, and the reason I didn't was because I thought she might think it's a weird thing to do. I know that I would be happy to get a letter, from anyone, just because they're so novel today, but I wanted to get a wider range of thoughts.

Thanks in advance. <3

I wore a pair of sweatpants already this week and would be really comfortable wearing them again tomorrow, but is that bad? They're grey with 'hollister' in bright pink. Do you think people would care?

I'm a sophmore in high school.

It's my grandfather's name. I never met him; he died when my mother was around 12 years old, she was the baby of the family. I haven't ever asked much about him because I think it would bring up sad memories, but I am thinking of naming a future child after him. So, what do you think of the name? I know that he was a great man, so the meaning is definitely there. I could also use it as a middle name, but I would prefer a family surname for that.

I'm really not happy at my current school. The town's known for giving a good education, but I'm completely stressed out and have no friends. I started out middle school being quiet, and now in 10th grade I feel like everyone just expects me to be the shy one, so I'm very nervous about speaking up. I haven't really had a friend since my best friend left me in 7th grade, and since then I don't feel comfortable opening up. I feel like no one will really like me, like they're all talking behind my back.

The problem is that my family just moved to a different house in the same town, and it was expensive. My mom and dad love the house, and it is very nice, but sometimes I wish that we hadn't moved here so that I could be at a new school. Then I feel selfish, as I should. My dad says that we don't have the money to send me to private school, and I don't want to whine about it, so I haven't.

I just don't know what to do. I really don't like this school, I feel trapped! I'm depressed, and don't even want to go anymore.

It's not terrible, but I have a bump on the bridge of my nose that I didn't have when I was younger, and looking through old pictutes it was much better. It's not a hooked nose, but the bump is definitely noticeable and I would love for it to be smoother. I'm only 16 and wouldn't be doing it for a number of years. I'm thinking about pursuing a career in acting/modelling, and was wondering if I would be better off with or without it. Of course, it will come down to how I feel about it, I'm just looking for advice. <3

I haven't had a real friend that I could talk to personally for about three years.

I'm so scared of people disliking me, because my best friend made fun of me and ditched me in middle school. I haven't had a friend since.

The boys at my school bullied me when I was in middle school. They got in trouble but it ruined my already low self-esteem.

I so shy, I don't talk much at all in school.

I have no motivation for homework or any schoolwork, so my grades have fallen far lower than they should be.

I have so much homework, but I can't stand to do it, so I usually put it off. It's because I get home from a miserably boring 6 hour day, and then have hours of homework...so I do something else that I actually enjoy, and then end up staying up really late to finnish my homework. That or I just don't finnish.

I've missed a bunch of days of school because I just have no energy and can't stand to be there where I have so much work and am so alone.

Please, no negative feedback. <3
