An old friend, a desperate girl, a smile, a laugh, first time she had fun in a long time. What next?
A long time ago (May 2009) I had a Yahoo account. I got logged off. So, I got a new account. One of my questions were, ”Bob” or ”Bill”? Which boy is right for me? Most people picked ”Bill”. Shortly after that question, I decided to give up on boys. Many months passed, I never smiled or laughed, I was in a deep depression, seven months later, ”Bob” (Connor) came into my mind, should I like him. or not, he destroyed my heart, my life, everything!!! I couldn’t like him again, right??? We were close friends until February 13, 2009, when he was asked if he could go out with me. He said no. Our friendship ended, I still liked him, I mean that was 2 full years of being with CONNOR, no one else, smiling, laughing at the weirdest things! I saw the new Indiana Jones movie for HIM! We walked around the playground talking, telling jokes, etc. Last month one night, I went crazy, crying, hitting my bed, I was mad at Connor, I couldn’t take the loneliness anymore, someone called me a stalker!!! I started liking Connor again. I see him every single Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, and Sunday, we go to the same middle school and church. I told my friends. They were truly shocked! That ”Bill” turned out to be a real jerk. He follows my friend around everywhere, steals, lies, and almost raped a girl my age (12) while playing a horrible game of truth or Dare. Someone asked me, ”Have you ever liked ‘Bill’?”, I had to say yes, because I am a strong Catholic and shouldn’t lie. It’s a huge dread to say I’m Polish, because I am and ”Bill’ is too. Today Connor was joking around with me at CCD (Catholic Bible School), it was fun for me to talk with him. What should I do about connor? Feb. 13 is coming up, to celebrate that terrible day! Oh I’m mad and sad!!! Sorry it’s so long, I had to tell the hole story!!!

My cat can twist its head all the way around?
um i have this gray fluffy cat thing, and it twists its head around when it wakes up or is happy. im seriously not joking. im confused because i don’t think its physically possible for his "neck" to twist around like that without snapping. Also (like me) this fluffy demon seed is twitchy. REALLY TWITCHY. Im the only one who notices it, and it really creeps me out. it literally turns its head all the way around like you see in the movies. he doesn’t tilt his head up or down to make it LOOK like it twisted around. honestly its the nicest cat ever but i scares me.
no one elnse can see it but me im magical…. i wish
its not possessed, i don’t believe in that and that cat is so nice.

Or.

You have a young cat. Cats are *extremely* flexible, even in their necks. I had a young Siamese once that could bend her head backward and almost lick and itch on her back. Strange, but normal for most cats. Just be glad it is a nice cat. So many young cats turn into veritable finger-shredders. Best of luck!

Can someone tell me what I should do? Family problems….?
*repost*

Well for starters I live with a fat lazy aunt, a mean sister, and an unreasonable grandma. Today she offered to buy me new sheets and I said no thanks but she went and got them anyways. My door was locked and I was laying down about to sleep and I didn’t feel like getting up so I said that I’d put them on later. She kept beating on the door and threatening to take down the door. She NEVER lets me have privacy. And she threw the sheets at me and said "Someone tries to do something nice to you and you act like a b*tch, stupid wench" and then slammed the door. She’s been really mean to me ever since my father was murdered (2 years ago) for some reason. And now she’s always threatening me. I’m 13 in 20 days and they treat me like I’m 5 years old and not allowed to be alone for a second. I don’t know what to do. I really want to run away, but where I live, it’s winter time. So I’d probably freeze. Help?

Spoiled little brat? All I have is a laptop that’s at least 3 years old. I wasn’t even being mean to her and she starts it.
11 minutes ago

I have no friends because she made me be homeschooled online so I really don’t have a school counsler.
9 minutes ago

And this also isn’t the only bad thing she’s ever done. She’s picked me up by my feet and threatened to hit me with scissors, she’s slapped me before because i stood up for myself once, and she threatens me most of the time. So yeah. I’m so spoiled.
8 minutes ago.

I reposted this because most of the people were joking and calling me spoiled. This IS a serious question and I’m not spoiled at all. I sit in my room all day and do nothing.
Well, she doesn’t know my dad. She knows me and him were really close. And how the hell am I spoiled when I don’t get to do anything all day, the threatens to hit me, and shes always yelling at me?
I only use this account for serious questions. I have another account with my name on it, so I didn’t want anyone to know who I was or see my questions. If you don’t think it’s real/don’t want to help me, then don’t answer.

get over yourself and realize that your grandma misses your dad and is trying to the best for you and you’re only 12, she is afraid you’ll be hurt. chill out. by the way you’re talking you are spoiled your don’t appreciate your family for what they are.

I see you have a smile on your face in your avatar so you don’t seem to be unhappy at all. On second thought I don’t think you are even sincere.

Will you critique my poem?
When you’re loving me it’s like a full moon
Beautiful, perfect, and glowing
A pale light brightening my dark sky
Finally a painless addiction
Into the distance, gravity and darkness
shattered by complete selflessness and unique appreciation
Every time I’m in your arms I feel surrounded by a million twinkling stars
A sensation that stops time
No sensation to compare with this
Tragically blind to your own silvery charm that captures my wandering eye and makes the sun and earth collide
Forgetting the hollow lies when in this irresistible grasping light
Leaves me voiceless and twisted
You are the moonlight that guides me home
My moon, bright moon
that meets me at the sea’s horizon (Does that make sense? I meant I was the horizon at the sea and he is the moon…)
You are the sun that never could be
because you are the one that I can really see (Did that make sense? I meant you can’t really see the sun its too bright but the moon is just right and I can see it and he is the only one.)

By: Chelsea Craig

It’s for Valentines Day and I’m comparing him and his love to the moon.
Be as harsh as you want! Is it terribly cheesy?
