the songs that you hum, are tunes that you have made up, over the years...and you do this when you are cleaning or , taking a shower..and thinking about stuff, or whatever?

I have found that there are some "regular" songs that I either hum or sing...(some at different times in whatever I am up to!) I think that it is kind of interesting..as they are songs that I usually hum..and they are just little songs that I have made up...and I still know the tunes...even now, after soo many years...and I STILL hum them!(they are not tunes that a person would hear on the radio...they are totally made up by me!!

SO, what about you all? DO you have some regular tunes that you have made up, for whatever moods that you just happen to be in?

Why do you think that this is?


Thanks!

Ok.... I admit it Im a hot head... It only takes seconds for me to flip out on a person, and even black out... Im at work, and 2 people keep testing my limits... Is really hard for me to relax, when I know a person is talking about me behind my back, and even pointing me out.... I dont want to let my demons out... I keep trying to think happy thoughts, but that litte tick tock noise keeps going off in my head.... The worse part is, that one of them sits right next to me, and Im the type of person that likes to let you know that Im getting to the point were Im gonna flip out, just so u wont be so surprised when u get your teeth nucked out..... This is eating me alive..... I dont know what to do, what do you suggest????

Let's see. I'd be a pear. Gets all the better upon resting, lovely shape and texture, great with all different types of foods, not probably the most popular (through no fault of their own) but those who enjoy them are rewarded by their faithful sweetness. You?

I'm a 16 year old girl and I got a mohawk, shaved on the sides, short in the back and longer on the top. Is this going to be a total turnoff to guys?

Tell me please, because I've unsuccessfully tried many times.
I talk to a person one time and then they stop talking to me? I don't understand. Maybe it's because I make them feel uncomfortable, but I can't help that. I think I smile too much or something, but that's only because I'm TRYING to be friendly. It's like people try to avoid me because they think that I don't like them... or something. But really, I want to make friends because at this moment, I don't have many. So tell me, how do you make friends? What seems so easy for others seem so hard for me.

LIVERPOOL, England -- an 11-year-old boy shot to death, allegedly by a hooded teenager on a BMX bicycle.
Rhys Jones, a cherubic-faced boy who liked playing tag and video games, was in a pub's parking lot kicking a soccer ball around with friends Wednesday when two youths rode by and fired shots.
Two youths -- 14 and 18 -- were arrested and freed on bail in the boy's killing, which came a week after a man in a nearby area confronted a gang of youths, who allegedly attacked his car, and was beaten so badly that he bled to death on his doorstep from a brain hemorrhage.

British law severely limits gun ownership by making it hard to get licenses. But illicit guns are available on the street, most of them smuggled from the Balkans and others modified collectors' weapons obtained within the country.

I am a professional and travel for work. I stayed at a hotel where 3 of the hotel staff disliked me for petty reasons & constantly bad mouthed me in a very jr. high school way. In my work environment, I cannot fathom that kind of behavior. What causes this behavior as adults? Is it jealousy? Envy? Do they think that I'm better than them?

Economics is about trade-offs. If more scarce resources are used to produce one thing, fewer will be available to produce others.

On Wednesday I will be in a difficult situation that will require me to keep a straight face for an hour and a half. I will be in the presence of 2 friends having a discussion with a group of about 10 that we all know very little about, and we need to pretend like we dont know each other at all. Considering the complete BS we will be discussing, i predict it will be very hard for us to keep straight faces. So how can we keep straight faces for an hour and a half?

well, if you couldn't tell from the question-i need help to overcome my shyness. The thing is at home I'm myself (which is absolute insaneness & funky; to be honest) But at school I just shut down and can't seem to bring myself to say/do something with the other person unless it's school work in class and we have to do it. I don't know but every time I try, it just seem like the cats got my tongue and I can't figure out anything to say at all. So my conversation ideas are out the window! I know people say with becoming outgoing: "just do it" but it seems something like an invisible wall just blocks me. Plus, i'm a little afraid that people (just the ones that matter to me) may not like me anymore; like as if they were to be afraid of me! : ) Also, another clitch is that a couple of my role models are like Audrey Hepburn and she was classified as a lady and I like to be like a lady and act like a lady, i don't know, do you think maybe that's another thing that's blocking me?

Why do people generally discourage suicide in people who want to commit suicide?
I always wondered this. I mean like everyday people family, friends, doctors, layers, etc. they like tell people to call the suicide hotline and seek counseling and like "dont do it" and stuff. But, the people who want to commit suicide, it is their personal choise, whether they are like 14, or 94, it, in my opinion, is their choice, and it is their decison, and can be missing out on an opportunity if they didn't commit.
