I'm going to be a junior in high school and I have overcome some obstacles in life that I believe some people would have given up on. I would really like to become a motivational speaker because I think that I could really reach kids because I am close their age. How would I go about becoming a motivational speaker now?

Like in a negative way? Like I think of me and my boyfriend being together at school, or saying in my mind that I love him [[yet when I told him in person I felt something in my chest]]. Or just even thinking of hanging out or him. Its weird tho, bc i can be happy with him and so giggly and natural holding hands. And when my friend had me on her "myspace" top 8 thing, it dropped too. And she's a really good friend!!

Is it doubt, not liking something, etc?

1- This one I had a couple nights ago. It was really freaky. I was floating, alone in the middle of the ocean- no boats or anything in site- just me, floating on my back, sinking under the water then coming back up. I was a little worried since I knew I had no way of getting back to shore. But then an orca came. (A killer whale.) and it was swimming around me. I grabbed onto it's body and began to suck on it. I think I was trying to drink it's blood- I don't know it was wierd.

2- This one I hada a long while ago. I was a goldfish trapped in a dark fish pond in somone's back yard. I swam up to the surface of the dark water and floated, look up at fireworks in the night sky. It was wierd.

Anyone know what any of these could mean? Thanks! :)

I have a dream that all the contestants in the appretice including me have made it to the finals and we are all waiting to have interviews (I know it doesn't work like this in real-life). I'm not nervous - as I know I have no chance of winning, due to my lack of skills. However, then I see a famous celeb who is a contestant and he is nervous and trying to concentrate because he knows he has a chance of winning. Then I start getting nervous and have to keep going to the bathroom, but then I remember that I have no chance of winning. As a result I start becoming too relaxed. When all the contestants are waiting in the snack room I warm some milk in the microwave, start drinking that alongside some water and then a moment later start laughing hysterically - my face even goes red because I 'm laughing so much, but I don't care. My behaviour has alerted some of the others in the room including the celebrity. Then the dream stops.

Can anyone interperate this dream please?

Does anyone have a reputable source for:

a) A known division between designers and architects (i.e., architects are typically more aloof and arrogant, and designers are typically more warm and fuzzy)

AND

b) statistics that show the percentage of males/females in design versus architecture?

i familiar with how they 'feel' when ther occur but ive no idea about the mechanics of the emotion. are they under our direct control?
i dont believe my emotions are in control of me but it seems im not in control of them either. maybe anger or compassion are habits...help!

Thanks

The Soviets oppressed and persecuted anyone who didn't agree with their shallow atheist worldview. They harassed them, censored them, jailed them and even killed them. Now atheists and secularists in America (and Europe) appear to be doing almost the same. Whether it is activist judges, places of work, schools, atheist organizations like ACLU, the mainstream media, liars like Richard Dawkins and Sam Harris and their mob numbering in the millions.

All this makes one ask: Are we witnessing the rise of Soviet-style persecution in the west and especially in America?

We hear one fact & BOOM; we cam recall it at will. Other info we hear & 10 minutes later we don't remember ever hearing it before.
What determines if the info goes to long or short-term memory?

I wonder how? I'm always honest, & people who lie, steal, & cheat are considered more mature than me. In other words, people say I'm more childish than them, just because I'm sensitive & my feelings get hurt easily.

how smug and condescending is this?????

Feminist will never say I am disempowered and I have no equality - they always speak about feminism being for some illusive sisterhood out there

like they the speaker are big and great and strong and the women feminism is helping are puny and weak and small.

uber female needs no man Rio Madeira is by far the very worst perpetrator of this smug beltittling attitude towards other women.

This morning, my mother gave me the "why are you not searching for someone to marry" conversation.

In the afternoon I bumped into a guy from an old job who basically told me that no one liked me at work and they always talked bad about me when I wasn't there.

The same night I went to a party and a guy I was having a conversation with asked me "So why can't you get a man?" left the party crying.

I can't believe all this has happend to me in one day. I feel like garbage. I am a really kind person, I volunteer, I take care of an elderly parent, I am trying to get into law school. I don't deserve all this.
