Sometimes I feel so disconnected from myself and I forget where I was headed and what I was doing sometimes. When the seasons change its like I become someone else. I dont get it I just want to be connected to be but for some reason I just can do it. What can a girl do?

Is it true that men from other countries are specifically coming to Brazil (especially Rio) to take part in the sex tourism trade here? I am currently in Brazil on vacation and have noticed that there are many men here looking for easy sex with Brazilian women and because of the lack of opportunities for these women, they are offering easy sex for male tourists all over Copacobana. Is that the only attraction for men to Brazilian culture...the opportunity to get laid?

I sincerely hold the belief that I am at the centre of the universe and that everything around me - people, places, planets, sensations, oceans, galaxies, activities, smells, sound, love, hate - is all revolving around me as the central focal point.

I have believed this all of my life but recently doubt has found a path into my soul and I have been wondering if this is not true and maybe I am suffering from delusions of grandeur or narcicissism.

Anyone else feel like this?

For the hoi polloi (the rest of us) the response to this question is too erudite; The first usage of "Ivy" in reference to a group of colleges is from a sports-writer in 1933. Several sports-writers and other journalists of the era used it to refer to the older colleges, those along the northeastern seaboard of the United States, chiefly the nine institutions with origins dating from the colonial era, together with the United States Military Academy (West Point), the United States Naval Academy, and a few others. These schools were known for their long-standing traditions in intercollegiate athletics, often being the first schools to participate in such activities. (from Wikipedia) but balancing desk-time with team sports is something can all do yes?

She thinks it´s so cool and funny that she´s the worst student and never gets an answer right. The other day she came to class all excited because she was arrested over the weekend (for drinking). I´ve tried everything I could think of: talk, ignore, etc. Any suggestions?

It seems there is a big misunderstanding about the term.

So I am curious about the following questions:

1- Where or how did you know about the word "feminism"?
2- Have you read about it, or are you repeating what others have said about it?
3- Do you know there are several kinds of feminism?
4- Have you met a feminist in real life?

Well, I was scrambiling around the kitchen looking for the omlette and finally found it. But, they were so small, and hte plate I had was huge and I thought the woman would be very disapointed in the size of hte plate vs. the size of the omelette. I also never brought the man his coffee.

I felt so bad. he was waiting and I never brought it.

What does this dream mean?

To be a sad humourless person with no life who sits giving thumbs down or pressing the abuse button in an attempt to feel powerful and worthwhile whilst taking time out to tell people they are wrong but refusing to say why.

Dont know why they even take the time to bother reading when they know their answers are just gonna be iggied anyway!

with your sort of problems (cos she had a bad childhood sexually abused) then she said to me the reason you react to things like you do is because of your childhood the hurt you have been through, she said this in front of a group of people and I felt so different and embrassed she said she has had a good childhood, i would never say that to someone in front of a group, what is her problem

Okay, so normally I don't have too much trouble deciphering my dreams as I have been doing it since I was about ten, but this one is a bit confusing.

I am in my grandparent's old house, sitting in my grandma's rocking chair. My sister-in-law is sitting in my grandpa's rocking chair. My brother is on the phone with his work trying to get more hours.

(I know something goes here, but can't recall it.)

I am in the den when I hear my brother's phone ringing. I find it on the couch and pull it out of a pinch pocket. When I look at it, I see that it's a white calculator with very tiny buttons. The number on the screen is 414-8104. I take it and give it to my brother and he wanders off somewhere to talk on it. Then, I am standing next to my dad by the oven and he pulls out a skillet, setting it on the stove. He offers me some and then he pours something into a cup and when he hands it to me I try to take a drink. I look down and see tan, gooey ice cubes in my orange cup. I tell my dad

I don't know how many times I've said this to myself but I really want to turn over a new leaf.

And by turning over a new leaf I mean - Have the body I've always wanted (MUSCLES!), achieving good exam results and not just scraping through luckily, be able to play an instrument, start a sport/hobby (I'm thinking of Yoga) and have a relationship with a girl that lasts longer than 3 months.

So how do I do this? What can I do to motivate myself? My mum says that I should try hypno-therapy but I don't know.. Isn't that just a huge big scam?

Also about playing an instrument, I'm thinking of playing the saxaphone but I have asthma (well its really mild!) so my breathing isn't the best of breaths. I tried playing guitar but I gave up after a month or so because my teacher gave me a 10 minute lesson while he'd give someone else a 30 minute lesson. I don't believe in learning myself because then you pick up bad habits!

Any other instruments that I can try?

Thank you.
