  • What are some allusions in The Alchemist?

    I'm having trouble finding them, and I need 5 for my summer reading. I have two, the Philosopher's Stone and Urim and Thummin, does anyone know of any more? Again, the book is The Alchemist by Paulo Cohelo.

  • How do I turn a guy down nicely?

    So this guy I've known for ten years just asked me out...we've been friends for a long time but I really just don't like him like that at ALL. I really don't want to hurt him and he's in my group of friends so I'm trying to refrain from awkwardness as well (but I know that really isn't possible...) I've turned down guys before but it was when I was younger so it wasn't as serious...ugh this is really stressing me out so any help would be appreciated. Ps, this is what he said: Hey I was wondering if you would go out with me.

    Please help!

  • How do I get over this guy?

    How do I get over a guy that I've liked since I was five? We went to the same school for nine years, were best friends, and then went to different high schools. Last November we were hanging out at a football game and we were clicking like crazy, if you know what I mean. It just felt like we were perfect together. I ended up asking him to my school's dance in January (just as a friend, though). Something really weird happened. He totally ignored me, even though it's totally common for people to go to dances just as friends. After three days, during which I had emailed and called him, he got back to me and said that no, he couldn't go. I haven't talked to him since then.

    My heart was basically broken when he said no, but I still can't get over him. But I don't get it. What happened? What did I do wrong? Sigh...anyways...any tips on how to get over a guy you've liked forever?

  • How to get mosquito bite swelling to go down?

    The dang thing got me right next to my eye yesterday, and the bite has swollen to larger than the size of a quarter. Now my eye is partially swollen shut (I can still open it but it's annoying) and the bite doesn't itch too much, it sort of hurts. There's another one on the side of my face that has also swollen up. It's very irritating and a little painful, does anyone know what I could do to make the swelling go down?

  • What's it like to be in love?

    I've definitely loved people in my life, but I don't think I've ever been IN love. What's it like? Ever since I was a little girl, (like four) all I've wanted was to fall in love and get married--like in a fairytale. So what's it like to be in love with someone, who loves you back?

  • Where can I find cute bathroom decorations?

    I'm moving, and I'm trying to figure out how to decorate my bathroom (I'm sharing it with my sister). Does anyone have some good stores with cute shower curtains and stuff like that? My sister and I both have more of a boho style. I really like Anthropologie, but it's too expensive for me. Any suggestions would be helpful! Thanks!

  • Where can I buy precious moments figurines?

    When I was little I had the most beautiful music box. It was a boy pushing a girl on a tree swing, with a little blue bird in a nest on the tree. I think it was made in 1988, so it's obviously not made anymore. Does anyone know the name of this particular music box, and where I could find one? My old one is broken, but I loved that music box so much. The song that it played was also my lullaby, so it would really mean a lot to me if someone could help me find it. Thanks!

  • Help with the wingardium leviosa spell?

    I've been practicing ALL the time, but no matter what I do, I just can't get the damn things to levitate. I've already been told it's lev-i-O-sa, not lev-i-o-SA, but it doesn't seem to be helping much. Any tips?

  • Why does high school go by so fast?

    I'm finishing up my freshman year (just exams left!) and I feel like it went by soooo fast...I was talking to some of the seniors and they said high school just flew by...like they blinked and it was done. Does anyone else feel that way? I mean when you think about it, high school is four years, and the time between 4th and 8th grade is 4 years, but elementary school went by so slow. Thoughts?

  • My hp tablet computer won't turn on?

    Ummm...yeah. So yesterday, I was on my hp tablet computer and it suddenly just shut off. The battery was low but not low enough for that to happen...and it literally just shut off. A little noise and then a black screen. So I tried to turn it on again (I plugged it in to the charger, just in case) and the little power light and the fan went on, but the screen stayed black. I actually absolutely hate this computer, it' been nothing but trouble from the day I got it, but they're required for school, so I'm out of luck. I took it into the tech lab a few days ago and they said I had a virus but they couldn't fix it at the moment...any idea what happened or if there's any way to fix my computer? Finals are next week and I really need it...sadly, my flash drive broke so most of my work isn't backed up. Please help!

  • Any people at the University of Notre Dame?

    I'm considering Notre Dame for college. It seems like an excellent school. If there are any people who go there, or are alums, can you tell me what you like/dislike about the school? Also, how hard was it to get in? My GPA is a 4.1 right now.

  • How do I pick a good college?

    Okay, so I'm having some troubles. I'm in high school, and while I've still got two years or so to think about college, our school counselor is pushing us all to start looking. The thing is, I don't know where to start. I've gotten good grades my whole life (my current GPA is a 4.2) but I have no idea where to go. I'd like to stay in the midwest area, but really anywhere in the US is fine. I love creative writing, so any schools with good writing programs would be great. Ahhh any help would be greatly appreciated!!

  • I'm having OCD problems...Please help!?

    I'm in high school, and have been battling different forms of OCD ever since I was a little kid. I am SICK of it. It varies from having to turn on lights a certain way to only taking one set of stairs, etc., and lately I've been having HOCD (which means I think I'm a lesbian when I am totally, completely not. I'm actually like the most boy-crazy person I know.) Please, PLEASE, does anyone know of anything that has helped? Honestly, I'd prefer that it wasn't medicine, because I don't think that actually fixes the problem. OCD has been ruining my life for too long and I need to do something about it. Please help!

  • Why does China want Tibet to be a part of their country?

    I'm doing a project on nationalism and about why Tibet wants to be their own country again. They had their own language, culture, currency, everything--and then China took over. Why? They go so far as to torture the Tibetans and refuse to give them freedom. I've heard that it's because China thought that Tibet had originally belonged to them, but I'm not exactly sure. Please help! This topic is kind of confusing.

  • Any natural remedies for joint pain?

    I had a knee injury a few years ago and I almost always experience joint pain there. I'm a runner, so this is a bit of a problem...my surgeon says I'll probably need another surgery in a few years but my chiropractor and the physical therapist at school say that I might not need to get it! Does anyone know of any natural ways to get rid of the joint pain in my knee? Thank you!!!
