lifeoftheparty20's questions
What are your opinions on the American Idol contestant Sanjaya Malakar?? Every talk show I watch always slams him and makes fun of him. They constantly say he's not good enough for the position he has now. Some even say he's "killing" the show. I, pers...
Everyday in Biology class, one person tells a joke. At the end of the week, we vote on the best. The Joke of the Weeks are eligible for Joke of the Month, then Joke of the year. So I'm just seeing if some of you can share your favorite jokes. Oh yeah, ...
Do you believe that people can be psychic?? If so, how can this happen to people? I've never understood this whole thing. Thanks...
I'm 15 in two weeks and I don't eat meat. None. People sometimes act "different" around me when they find this out. This is why I choose not to tell many people. The worst thing is... I live in Nebraska, where everybody just loves beef and whatever. My...
We recently moved my cat's litter box just like 10 feet from where it used to be. He was starting to make the litter get out of the box and get caught in our rug, so it was harder to clean. After we moved it, he used it fine for a little bit, but withi...
I am a soccer player, so I have "the soccer tan" on my legs. It is just my knee area that's tan because of my shorts and shin guards. This makes my shins look so white!! I get countless comments on how bad my tan line is. What's the easiest way to even...
My mom and I were talking about random things and suddenly this subject came up. She's convinced that I broke my nose at the dentists' office (long story there) a few years ago. But isn't your nose a lot of cartilage?? So what actually happens to it wh...
Is soda really that bad for you? What's in it and what's it do to your body? I'm a runner, so I stopped drinking it a year ago - but my friends can't get enough of it!!
I'm really into singing. I am a strong alto and play a big part keeping people in tune around me. Everyone says I have an awesome voice, and I think it's good, too. I'm taking voice lessons to improve myself more. But the thing is... it's sometimes har...
I'm into writing and just curious if anybody has any special methods they use to help them. Is there a special place you write? What do you think about? How do you feel? Do you share it with others? What kind of stuff do write? I love heart-touching po...
I am on my school's student council. Does anyone have any new or out-of-the-ordinary things they do at their school? Any fundraising ideas? We have spirit weeks (class color day, cowgirl/cowboy day, movie character day, twin day, and school color day) ...
Being drum majors, we are trying to find new pep band songs for games. We have many songs like Free Ride and Evil Ways, and we love them, but they are old and we always play them. We're tired of dumb songs. We are now trying to find new, upbeat, fun so...
I am a person who runs a lot. On the days I don't have sports practice, I run down our road since we live in the country. Today, I had cars coming at me from both directions. Normally, I run against traffic and move to the other lane if a car comes. So...
Our band comes up with some pretty stupid pick up lines. My question to you: What is the cheesiest pick up line you've ever used/been told/heard? Care to share any stories behind it??
I just read somewhere that if you use your tongue to press a copper penny to the roof of your mouth for two minutes, it will cure a bloody nose. I had one earlier in the day, so I'm now curious on how this works -- if it even does. Do you have any idea...
I'm writing a career report and I can't think of what those dogs are called when they are trained to help the blind. I want to say "seeing eye dogs" but that doesn't sound like the proper wording. Is that right, or is there a more formal word for that?...
Why did the country superstar Dierks Bentley cut his curls off?? I was watching CMT the other day and saw his "Long Trip Home" video, I think. They did show him getting his hair buzzed off in the video. Is the video the reason he cut it?? Did it go alo...
My mom and I just got back from Subway. She ordered a BMT sandwich. I asked her what BMT stood for. She then asked the employee.... nobody knew. It had pepperoni, salami, and ham in it. Does anybody know what BMT might stand for? *Thanks
I just started to lose my voice and I have a vocal concert in two days. I'm not sure if it will be back by then. It sounds really weird and I can hardly sing. I don't have any solos or anything, but I help keep the altos on pitch. Are there any quick s...
Our dog went crazy today and chased our sheep around. A few have visible blood and are limping, but it's nothing too terrible. But my dog chased a Big Mama (that's what we call her) down into the creek. The weather has been so cold lately and it had a ...
I'm planning on auditioning for our school's varsity show choir. I have almost everything I need to be prepared for this in a few weeks. I just need to choose a song for the finals (if I make it). I'm not sure what to sing!! I'm a good alto and love co...
I got to wondering the other day... why do things like our elbows, knees, neck, fingers, ankle, and back pop sometimes? How can people continuously crack their knuckles? When a certain part pops, does it mean you have a problem? *Thanks, lifeofthep...
I bought a cat nip pillow for my cat a few years back. We take it away from him every so often, just because it's getting a little dirty. This is his favorite toy! If we dampen the pillow a little to try to clean it, will the cat nip lose it's smell or...
I have played the alto saxophone for 5 years now. Our band has several alto sax players. I've been considering switching to the mellophone/french horn. We have only one mellophone player for marching band/pep band. Then for concert band, we have 2 fren...
I was talking with my Winter Sports date the other day. He's a 17 year old sophomore. The reason for this was because he was sent away to a place in Jamaica as an eighth grader. They forgot to send his transcripts, so he had to repeat the eighth grade ...
I just noticed that when I answer a question, it says under my name that I've answered 50 questions. Then my profile says I've given 47 answers. Just curious, why is there a difference??
I was looking at duct tape hats and is considering buying one. I have one problem... how do you figure out your hat size?? *Thanks
How long do you guys spend a day on this website answering and asking questions?? I can spend a lot of time just looking around this site!
I recently got an iPod video and have put songs and pictures on it. I have discovered that even after a full charge, it only gives me about 2 hours of playback. It's a 30 GB iPod and should deliver more than that. I turn it off when not in use, fully c...
I just sent another text out on my cell phone and wondered... how does texting actually work? I think it's pretty amazing that you can send messeges on a phone to someone hundreds of miles away lol.
So on the cross country bus, we come up with some odd things to do. We tried touching the tip of our pinky finger to the ball of our thumb on the same hand. Your hand needs to start at the "stop" signal with wide fingers. Your thumb isn't allowed to mo...
A friend of mine had lightish-brown hair and came to school the other day with it purple!! I thought she was just doing it for fun, but she said it was supposed to be burgundy. That got me wondering, what could have caused her hair to turn purple instead?
I was mindlessly walking the other day, but got to wondering why people swing their arms when we walk? I know it's pretty much natural, but is it for balance? Something to do?
It seems like whenever I answer or ask a question, the category that question's in always appears checked in my newsletter preferences -- so I get questions in that category. I'll go and uncheck everything then answer/ask another question. That categor...
Why do we refer to a dog's age in "dog years"?? Wouldn't it just be easier to use human years like we do for many other animals?
A guy friend of mine asked me out the other day. It just so happened that he went out with one of my best friends. She still kind of likes him. She also told me that we probably couldn't be friends anymore if I say yes to him, mainly because she couldn...
Today I watched my aunt try to open a jar of pickles and she couldn't do it. Then another aunt came up, turned the unopened jar on a side, hit the bottom a few times, and easily opened it. What does hitting the bottom of a jar do to make it easier to o...
I just got an iPod video and just curious what the best ways are to remove smudges from the screen are. I've done good not touching the screen yet, but knowing me... it will happen sooner or later. Thanks, lifeoftheparty20
I'm due for a hair trim soon, but I was thinking about trying a new style. Right now it's just kind of "normal". I like trying new things, so I was wondering if anyone knows of any good cuts that are easy to straighten/curl. Pictures would help bunches...
Do dreams actually mean something? I've heard that they do and I've been having some pretty weird ones lately. I'm just wondering if they could be a sign of something, or if my imagination is just running wild again. *Thanks
I read somewhere that for every mile you jog, you add a minute onto your life. I don't see how this can be true... is it?
The guy I loved the most, and he made it my shortest relationship. He didn't feel like he was being fair to me... I thought he was. He said he didn't have time for me... I've spent more time with him in the past two weeks than I did with my last boyfri...
Semester tests in school start Thursday the 21st. I have all A's right now and there's nothing more I want than to see that on my final transcript. I'm skeptical if I can remember everything from back in August. Do you guys have special study habits or...
My friend was playing with silly putty stuff in Ag class today. He could form it to take any shape and stay solid, stretch it out, and even roll it up into a ball and bounce it off the floor (and it was a pretty high bounce back). That got us wondering...
Haha okay well we just got done pulling out all of our Christmas decorations. My mom was upset when like 5 strings of lights only half-way worked!! Why would just half a string of lights work? Is it the fuse? A loose bulb? Should we just trash them?
Hey I just want a few responses on who here actually talks to their Ex's. I just got me curious the other day. I don't and I feel kind of bad, but I don't think there's reason to talk. They do just ignore me a lot. The rare times I do have small conves...
My uncle and I always pull friendly pranks and bully each other everytime we see each other (we live in different states so it's not very often). I'm just thinking that there has to be someone on this site who's a mastermind at pranks. I don't have muc...
I'm a 14 year old girl who has been really depressed lately. It all started when my boyfriend dumped me a week ago. Ever since then, life has been going downhill. I am starting to really worry all my friends, and myself. We had a concert tonight, and w...
{Sorry to use names but it will be so much easier to explain without "he said she said"} Ciera and Ashley beat my friend Benji up today. They waited for him to come out of the bathroom during lunch. I happened to be on my way to the bathroom with my fr...
I am 14 years old with thick, somewhat frizzy, naturally curly hair. I always get up early for band, cross country practice after school, then homework so I don't have much time to ever do much with it. I normally have it straightened and it looks fine...
