I've been growing my hair out for about a year now and I'm just now starting to get sick of it. it's taking way too lng to blowdry and style. and im just getting super bored with it. i also cant seem to get it to grow past the point it's at now (no matter how healthy i try to keep it/trimming off dead ends when needed.) i think my hair just doesnt want to grow much more. it always has a mind of it's own.

my hair now... pardon how greasy it looks in this first picture haha but its one o the most recent and shows my length pretty well




(  and this is what i'm thinking of.  )

opinions? or ideas/suggestions? anything will help!

thanks!

I must finally confess that I need hair halp.

I've had every colour under the sun in the past ten or so years. But I seem to lack much creativity when it comes to a cut that actually works for me - this is mostly in part because I feel like the shape of my face (aka a circle) doesn't really have a suitable style, in my case at least.

So here's part of a hair history just to show the different things I've had.

( hair history..it's pretty long )

I hope someone can help/make some reccomendations cause I'm at my wits end with what I can do. Ideally I want to keep a fair amount of the length but liven it up a little? And while I miss being blonde (because it dried it out enough I didn't have to wash it every freaking day) I'm not sure if I can pull it off at all. Also I'm fairly sure I have to have a fringe, but I have no idea how long/what side/ how heavy etc.

So Christmas night I'm hooking up with this really hot guy who I was excited that he was into me in return, since I had my eye on him for awhile. We had both been drinking. We were just kissing and touching since I wasn't ready to sleep with him yet. But I was kissing his chest and stomach and coming into contact with his penis but not putting it in my mouth. You know, just playing around.

And then he asked me to bite it... what? lmao

I don't mean to be a 12 year old about it but it was something NO guy had ever said to me... I was always under the impression that teeth near the penis was always a bad idea. So, um, I bit him! lol! I guess he was kinda into it? For some reason now that I do not remember, I also ended up slapping him across the face, playfully but kind of hard nonetheless (I am coming to realize when I'm hooking up drunk I'm like 50% more likely to slap a guy in the face) and in return he got on top of me and wrapped his fingers around my neck as though he was going to choke me.

Look, I'm pretty vanilla in sex, I don't need excessive position switching or anything kinky to have a great time. So if this is a taste (no pun intended) of what I should expect from this guy should we ever do it, I'm guessing it's going to be... different.

Please give me any comments you have about this.

And also, has a guy ever wanted you to bite it? lol

Dear You,

It's the wrong face in your mind. The wrong voice is causing your stomach to drop in such a way, it's the wrong arms you want around you. You're replaying the wrong memories to feed the wrong feelings and planning the wrong course of action to fulfill the wrong desires. Wrong, wrong, wrong..

But when you say wrong so many times, it just looks silly- and thus, the meaning is lost. Fuck wrong, there's no such thing as wrong. All you ever feel is what you're supposed to feel- and if you've felt like this for so long, how can it be anything but right?

There is the fact that you have a boyfriend that loves you. Should you cut that off now, save yourself and everyone else the pain? No, that's not what you not, not practically. Theoretically you may want N, but you want C in this real world.

Though, if N keeps acting as he has...

Then, you may end up doing something wrong, and God help you if you stoop to that. I certainly hope you don't, though I know that if the opportunity presented itself... yes, you would. You wouldn't be able to help yourself.

You should go back to the tarot lady, since she got it so right last time.

Oh, hey, your boyfriend's here. Perhaps you should go on your date with him now.

You are ridiculous and I do not enjoy being you at these times.

You.

Not sure if anyone remembers me, but I've been having problems with sex for the past 2 years. It never wanted to work and caused me immense amounts of pain whenever I'd try. I researched and was considering vaginismus or something similar, but my gyno told me I was just "tighter" than a lot of people and I should try to get myself used to something by using..candles.

Anyway, I don't know how it happened, but it's working. One night my boyfriend wanted to try again, so we did, and after an initial amount of pain, it worked. For the first time in 2 years, he was able to get all the way inside me. Of course, it left me sore and hurting a bit because I wasn't used to it at all, but we've had sex ~10 other times since then and it's getting better. Last night I only had a tiny bit of pain at the initial penetration and everything else was perfect.

So woo, I'm not broken. I do have a question though--we've tried it in a few different positions, and my g-spot has been stimulated *too much* in every position we've tried besides missionary. I couldn't stand being on top (which I really was eager to try) because of how it was hitting my g-spot. It was wayyyy too sensitive. Is that normal..? Anyone else experience that? Are there positions (for beginners!) that we can try that might be a little more comfortable for me, for now?

hey everyone :)
i used to have bright blonde hair but after using a box dye on it (which was marked honey blonde!) it is now a dark brown which is okay but i miss my blonde :(
i know that to bleach back to blonde would KILL my hair (as it was bleached blonde to begin with) so is colour stripper an option?
i dont know much about it, and it would probably kill my hair just as much as bleach :(

does anyone have any suggestions?
thank you!!

for those of you who take biotin, or used to take it, i am curious - what's your daily dosage? and does it have any side-effects that are bothersome? (eg: acne, etc)

please help! thanks!

I know I just recently posted but a helpful comment has led me to a color choice! -cheers- So, I need a red that isn't too vibrant because I go to a private school.  HELP! =)

 

( Journey down the red brick road! )

 

1. What type of birth control (Condoms, pills, pulled out) did you use, if any?
None

2. Were there any problems with your protection (condom breaking, missing pills)?
n/a

3. Are you trying to get pregnant, or avoiding it?
Trying to get pregnant

4. How many days are between the first day of one period and the first day of your next?
Not sure--I have a really long, irregular cycle.

5. Any big changes which could change your cycle (major change in diet, exercise, new medication, new stress?)
None I can think of.

6. What was the month/day your last period started?
Not sure--I have the exact dates on a calender at work, but it's about a month and a half ago.

7. What date(s) did you have sex?
12/11 (that would be my conception guess.) We've had sex other times, but I am suspicious that that was it.

8. Where was ejaculation(in vagina, in condom, pulled-out)?
In vagina

9. Is there anything else that makes you think you're pregnant?
I took a First Response pregnancy test and it's positive. So I guess there's no real mystery here, I'm just flipping out a little and am afraid to believe that it's real.

Basically, I have a really really irregular cycle, and I work long hours. My husband and I have been trying casually to get pregnant for a while, and my doctor told me when I thought I was ovulating, we should have sex every two days for four days before, and four days after. She also said that it would harder for us because my cycle is so irregular and unpredictable.

And because of my stressful and busy work schedule, we haven't really been charting my ovulation and making sure to have sex at the right times.

I started to suspect I was pregnant over the weekend--not for any particularly good reason. The only "sign of pregnancy" I seem to be exhibiting is tender breasts, but I've had those before. So this morning I decided to take a pregnancy test, just to see, and I got those infamous two pink lines. Obviously I'm going to call my doctor first thing tomorrow morning, but that's a whole day away, and in the meantime, I'm flipping out.

So, I guess my question is--what's the likelihood of a false positive? I'm almost afraid to believe that it's true.

SURVEY


1. What type of birth control (Condoms, pills, pulled out) did you use, if any? Condoms, every time.

2. Were there any problems with your protection (condom breaking, missing pills)? Not that we were aware of.

3. Are you trying to get pregnant, or avoiding it? Avoiding, but wouldn't be too bad if I was...

4. How many days are between the first day of one period and the first day of your next? Usually I'm 27-29, regularly.

5. Any big changes which could change your cycle (major change in diet, exercise, new medication, new stress?) No new stresses, just the stress of thinking I might be in the last week...

6. What was the month/day your last period started? November 22.

7. What date(s) did you have sex? December 3, 6, 10, 13, 14, 20, 24..I think that's it.

8. Where was ejaculation(in vagina, in condom, pulled-out)? In vagina, but in condom.

9. Is there anything else that makes you think you're pregnant? I had some cramps and aches in my lower back last week, which I thought was the start of my period, but no period yet.

If you do think there is a chance I am, I should wait another week to test, right?

Thank you!

Dear You,

I really need to get this out, down in writing, it will just frustrate me otherwise if I keep it inside.
You are lovely, really lovely, but today wasn't very good. I felt so fat and inadequit and, wish today was better. I'm am EXTREMELY dissappointed.
I think you hate me now, I'm not sure.
I know I have to let go of you, and I will, I guess I just want to cry a little first, before I accept that is what I have to do..
It was nice knowing you. I liked when we were friends.

You know, I might change my mind later, but I don't think I will this time round. It's cut.

From, the stupid girl

I was wondering if anybody here has an IUD? I am aware there are copper ones as well as hormonal ones. I feel strange putting metal into my body.. but I am 100% against hormonal birth control ever since I have been on the pill. How do the hormonal IUDs work? Do they prevent ovulation?

I'm interested in other forms of non hormonal birth control I can combine with my FAM to be more effective. My significant other wants to basically have sex every day/every other day so abstaining for my fertile period is a no go.. and I'm allergic to latex and we don't feel like wasting money on more expensive alternative condoms. Plus, he doesn't like using them anyway. For the past 6 months we have successfully used FAM with withdrawal but I'd rather use something more reliable than withdrawal.


Also.. I should add that I am only 20 and never been pregnant. Would they even let me get an IUD?

is there a possibility of dying a color over fading black hair, or will i need to strip my hair of the color black? if so can someone please tell me how to do so? I currently have dyed black hair but the entire top of my head is my natural color and the black is faded on random strands of the rest of my hair :/ I was hoping to dye my hair deep auburn by garnier fructis. thank you for your time (:

Dear Hormones,

Fuck you!!!!

I hate you.

Quit overriding my logical sense.

~D


J,

Screw it, I don't like you anymore. You're still my friend but I mean I was being crazy before.

I can't be with you and in a way I don't want to be. I was just blinded before. I don't know why I thought I liked you.....

But I don't even talk to you hardly ever now. And I'm kind of glad..

I just woke up I guess. But I know you're not the right guy for me.

So...I don't know if I'll meet up with you at AX...I probably will, but don't expect anything.

Thats pretty much all I can say right now.

~D


Self,

Quit being confusing.

You like one boy one minute, another the next. STOP. lol Just calm down.

But I guess you can blame the fact that you're a teenager on that one.

So don't worry, its just a normal thing..stupid, but normal.

It's ok. I think the more time goes on, the better the person you are becoming. And pretty soon you'll be an adult. Woo.

But you need to get ready for the new year!! :)

Love,
me


Kayleigh,

Please get on aim? I want to talk to you X_X

Love,
your twin

Ok so I recently started nuva ring, this is my 2nd week, and me and my boyfriend decided to have sex with it for the first time. After having sex I felt a slight burning so i went to the bathroom checked it out and i realised that my left labia was red swollen and extremely tender! I put ice on it but it did nothing for the swelling, although it did take some of the pain away. Does anyone have any idea what could be going on? (i read it could be from roughness but this does not seem likely) Does it have anything t do with the nuvaring? How can i get the swelling to go down? Please help! Thanks!

 i want to change my blonde a little bit, add some different shades of blonde maybe?
i need help i have nooo idea what i'm talking about D:

Dear Spencer,

You're so insane. Seriously. All that running around, chasing anything that move when you hit it. You chewed one of my random pencils to death. You run off with my money. It's so damn adorable!

One question: Why do you sit on the edge of my bed and just watch me on my laptop? It's endearing to turn around and suddenly you're just lying there, watching me.

Gotta say it's also adorable the way you come running to me the moment I hold my hand out to you.

In fact, you're so adorable that my friends love you too, and they've never met you.

You're the best little kitty cat a guy could have.


Love,
Akihito

Last month I went off my birth control. Long story short, it was YAZ and I was sick of it dicking around & not working.

I've had sex a few times with my partner, but we always, always used a condom.

My question is, I'm noticing that my discharge is a lot more, for a lack of a better word "gooey" than before. Does this mean anything?

I'm also switching to NuvaRing. Is there anything I really need to be made aware of? (I'm thinking my gynecologist isn't as great as I thought: she said endrometrosis isn't genetic, but a post here just told me otherwise)

I did read the packaging, but I'm looking for, ah, user reviews.
