I am 25 years old, but look very young for my age. My skin is very pale, sensitive, and sunburns easily. My eyes are blue and my lips are pink. I also have a problem with under-eye circles and psoriasis.

You can see pictures of my face here: http://www.facebook.com/home.php?#!/album.php?aid=...

I have trouble finding a foundation that is fair enough; everything tends to look orangey on me. I generally will only wear makeup that is cruelty-free (Almay, Revlon, Clinique, Bare Escentuals), but I will make an exception if absolutely necessary.

I am willing to invest a bit of money on quality makeup, but I can go cheap, too. I am tired of using makeup that just doesn't work well with my face. Please let me know if you have any suggestions - foundation, concealer, lipstick, eye makeup. Brand

01. What is your first and middle name? Do you like it? Do you think the two names go well together? If you had the option of changing your name right now, would you? What name would you choose instead?

02. Do you have or want children? How many of each do you have or want, and what genders are they? If you don't have any children yet, have you chosen names for your future babies? Which names do you love the most and why?

03. Do you have any "guilty pleasures"? (Names you love but wouldn't necessarily use, because they are too strange-sounding.) What names would fall under this guilty pleasure list for you? How do you think you would feel if you had this name attached to you through life? Would you be okay with it, or would you want to change your name as soon as legally possible?

04. Have you spent any time researching the meanings of the names you love? What do your favourite names mean? Are the meanings behind the names important to your choices, or do you just find them slightly interesting? What does your own name mean, and do you think the meaning reflects you as a person at all?

05. Have you researched the origins of the names you like? Is there a certain region most of your beloved names come from, i.e. France or Russia? Have you chosen these names for that specific reason, so that they'd go together or because your family is from that region? Where is your own name from?

06. How do you feel about alliteration? Do you like names like "Linda Louise" or "Melissa Marlene"? Would you name your own kids this way, or would you consider naming all your kids with the same letter?

07. Do you have any pets? What are they like and what names have you chosen for them? Are you the sort of person who chooses "people names" for your dogs and cats? If you don't have any animals, are there any names you've considered for future pets?

08. What are the names of your closest relatives and friends? Would you consider naming any of your children after these people? What names would you consider and why? Do you think the original person would be touched by your decision, or do you simply like their name?

09. Anything to add?

If you had to choose the one color that describes you most accurately, what color would you choose and why?

Note: This color does NOT have to be your favorite color, or even a color you particularly like. Think for a moment before answering, and answer as honestly as possible.

If you were to be stranded forever on a desert isle and could only have one book to read, and one piece of music to listen to (imagine you have unlimited batteries for this purpose only), what would you choose?

If you could be painted, photographed, or sculpted by any artist in the world, living or deceased, who would you choose, and why?

If you could own any single object in the world right NOW, without having to pay a cent, what would you want to have?

Rule: You cannot resell or gift whatever object you choose. You have to keep it.

If you could be instantly fluent in one other language that you currently do not read or speak, which would you choose, and why?

If you could suddenly possess an extraordinary creative talent, what would you like to be able to do?

For example, you can choose watercolor painting or playing the accordion. Be as specific as you like.

What is your favourite thing in your bedroom right now?

Choose a non-living object.

If you could physically transport yourself to any place in the world at this moment, where would you go and why?

If you could spend one night alone with anyone from history... Who would you choose?

If you could spend one whole night alone with any one celebrity who is currently alive, who would you select?

Note: This doesn't necessarily have to be sexual. You can spend the night doing anything you want... playing board games or having deep meaningful conversation.

If you were to be granted one wish, what would it be?

Let's try not to be dirty, folks.

This question is totally for fun - I'm not pregnant or anything, I just compulsively collect names.

Below is a list of my favourite names for girls and boys. For years, I've been messing around, making combinations of first and middle names that I think flow together well. Do you have any suggestions of names that sound nice together (preferably chosen from the list below)?

Also, if you see a name on this list that you absolutely HATE, feel free to tell me and the reason why you dislike it so much. I promise I won't take any offense, I am just curious as to the general impressions these names leave.

Thanks a lot!

I am in my early 20s and have terrible teeth. A year ago, I had to have a root canal and a crown on one of my molars. A few weeks ago, that crown... well, it sort of crumbled. I wasn't eating anything hard (a tortilla!).

I went in to my dentist and for some reason they drilled my tooth ridiculously small, to the point they had to use a laser around my tooth to determine what size to make the new crown. They fitted me with a temporary, and I have an appointment for the permanent in a few days.

Today (just now), I was eating a Milano cookie. After swallowing said cookie, I noticed a hollow feeling next to my cheek. My tongue felt an empty space - my crown must have fallen off, and I swallowed it without noticing!

What am I supposed to do? Is it really necessary to get fitted for a new temporary when I'm getting my permanent in five days? What if I eat and drink as little as possible? The tooth isn't painful at all, and I'm terrified about the cost. (None of this has been covered by insurance - the broken crown was considered too new.)

Any advice would be very helpful.

I'd like a new digital camera for my upcoming cruise to Alaska. Something with a good zoom would probably come in handy, as I hope to capture some wildlife on film.

I am by no means a professional, so I want something simple to understand. Also, I don't want to spend an arm and a leg here. Something between 100 and 300 bucks would be ideal.
