Like I replace the background, close the lid, and come back six hours later. It's black again.

Ok, I recently bought a few items on ebay. I really don't like that ebay makes me use paypal as a proxy, but you do what you do. Anyway, so the money isn't actually coming out of my bank account. I'm not sure if this is a problem with my bank account or my paypal, but the items aren't paid for and I really don't like it that things are in limbo because it's confusing. How do I just pay for the items? Annoyed.

I just started seeing this new guy and I can t stop thinking about him. It scares me. How do I stop?

My father recently took up the doumbek. He really loves playing it, and since I've been studying middle eastern folkloric and traditional dance, Americanized bellydance and modern dance for several years, we were thinking about trying to get a gig in a cafe with him playing doumbek and me dancing.

I'm fifteen.

When I dance I generally wear some variation on the bedlah (a typical bellydance costume which consists of a beaded bra top and matching belt) several long, opaque skirts (no slits, my legs are rarely shown at all) and sometimes a choli-style tie-top. I occasionally wear dance slippers, but never heels. The entire costume stays on the entire time, and if I dance with a veil, I enter with it behind me and use it as a prop (think of color-guard) rather than to arouse my audience.

My dance is not meant to be sexual, but there are many hip and chest movements and the costume I wear is admittedly revealing. I have performed for friends and in recitals before (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LXdabR_gfFM, I'm wearing a modest costume as I'm performing at my school) and the reaction is generally "wow" rather than "that's hot." I'm not very flirtatious, if I'm not crazy nervous as I am in that video I usually smile at the audience but that's about it.

I know that there are laws against underage exotic dance (I live in Pennsylvania), but I'm not sure if people would consider me an exotic dancer. Help!

WMV, AVi...

I need to make a film for one of my classes, and this is a major setback. Help!

Don't research, just tell me the first thing you think of.

You don't have to tell me what it means, word for word, just give me a vague idea of what's it's about and whether or not it is school appropriate. I'm dancing an improvised solo at my school and there are a few Greek students... As a result if it's profane, offensive... Probably not a good music choice...

So I have a lovely little dinosaur dell computer which I use for both schoolwork and recreation.

Now, on the recreation side of things, I recently watched a Harry Potter movie at home on a slightly dodgy site. A porn site pop up came up, and seasoned internet surfer I am, nonplussed, I hit the close button.

However, it was a fake button and I was redirected to the site itself and a file showed up in my downloads bar. I had never seen anything like that before, so I immediately canceled the download and force-closed my entire chrome session (and freaked out more than a little. Seasoned internet surfer indeed.).

Luckily I was incognito at the time (parents don't like me wasting my time re-watching Harry Potter, so I figured they wouldn't have to know), so nothing showed up in my history, and the semi-downloaded file is nowhere to be seen.

But I am incredibly worried about my school finding out. I know that they do spy on my phone and on school computers, but I don't know if they can spy on mine. I wasn't logged into any school web accounts at the time, but I do have a school printer network installed, can they use that to spy on me?

I know this probably sounds paranoid, but I have reason to be worried.

I attend a private Quaker school, and what they do when somebody commits some transgression is post a summary of said transgression on a bulletin board in the main hall. I guess you could say that I normally act a little bit like a teenage care-bear or something (I bake cupcakes randomly and hug people a lot) and while I have no problem with other people watching porn, I just don't really want the entire school to think that about I, the care-bear. Also the site was like, gang rape. Really nasty stuff. And I don't think that they'll believe me if I tell them about the pop-up. I can hardly believe the cheekiness of it either, what with the download and all.

They're both by the Cure, but I don't care who the songs you suggest are by..

By that I mean songs with similar instrumentals (Distant african-sounding drumbeats, heavy overlays, kind of trippy souding?). I like them slow and dreamy and surreal. Thanks so much.

I mean with a strong female lead and a supernatural focus. NO ANIME.

Just wanted to know. Thanks!

for example-

H20+O2----> H2O

Apparently I can't change the subscripts.

Little help?

Just guide me through, I don't get this at all.

I'd like to meet someone, people tell me how pretty I am, but due to my sexual orientation I am finding this to be an extremely difficult endeavor.

I'm fourteen, so...

If there's a club in Philadelphia which has an event for teens or an underage club, tell me.

Before y'all say I'm too young, just know my dad and mum are perfectly fine with my going clubbing at some point.

If it is a mildly gay or hipsterish venue, that's fabulous, because I'm lesbian and into alternative stuff.

I mean, is it OK for a 14 year old to see?

I'm looking for the sort of fangs that you retract by pressing the top with your tongue.

I want ones with a high rating.

I want to go a little crazy with stuff now I have short hair sooooooo...

But I also don't want to use loco chemicals.
