Saratomi

I got a new piercing about a month ago on my ear lobe, and both ears have become infected. It's swollen around the lobe (more on the left ear than the right), and it feels like there is pus accumulating inside or something, but the pain is coming from the holes themselves. I've cleaned them with hydrogen peroxide and put antibacterial ointment on them, and I've noticed more pus coming out. I think it's draining or something, but I'm not really sure if it's a good thing or a bad thing. I feel like the swelling has gone down a bit in the left ear, and it is a little less sensitive, but I'm going on a trip in a few days and I want to go to a doctor (if I need to) before then. Help?

I was having a debate with one of my friends the other day about names. She likes old fashioned names, like John and Elizabeth, and I like more modern ones, like Skyler and Jade. What names do you guys like? Any favorite names for pets?

For about two months now I've had a pocket underneath the skin on my face next to my nose. It isn't acne, and it seems to be completely sealed because no pus or fluid comes out of it when I press on it. It's somewhat hard and is only sensitive if I push on it, but it isn't getting any smaller. I've tried a few different cleansers to see if it will improve, but they aren't penetrating to where the pocket is. The skin over it is slightly discolored, and it has a primarily round shape.

Does anyone have any suggestions as to what it could be and what I could do to get rid of it? I don't really want to go to a doctor or dermatologist unless I absolutely have to, but if it doesn't go away soon I probably will.

Personally, I like Dave Franco a little more than James Franco (his older brother), but what do you guys think? I know there's a lot of controversy over this, but they're both amazing. :)

Do you think that Elena should be with Damon or Stefan?

And though Vicki and Anna are as of yet still dead, who do you think Jeremy should be with? Vicki, Anna, or Bonnie?

Personally, I like Damon with Elena and Anna with Jeremy, but let me know that you think!

Favorite comic Universe (Marvel, DC, Darkhorse, etc)? Any comicbook based movies you're looking forward to? Favorite superhero movie of all time?

Which songs are used in the beginning and end of the pilot episode of "Breaking In" on Fox? The first is a hip-hop/rap song and the second is a pop/rock song. Help?!?!

I need to know about how much energy (out of 100%) is conserved (passed on) from one trophic level to another in a biomass pyramid. Thanks!

I just finished reading Nightshade by Andrea Cremer and can't wait for her next book, Wolfsbane. I've heard that there is a preview of the first chapter somewhere, but I can't find it. Help?

i've had this rap song about ireland stuck in my head for a long time and i can't find it on any of my burned CDs. in the beginning it has the sounds of a pub or bar of some sort and they are mainly talking about how they drink a lot in ireland during the song. if i remember correctly, one of the lines includes "from Dublin to Boston," and at one point i think they say something about having red/orange hair...

does anyone have any idea what song this is??
