Her birthday is the 30th, but I work. So I had no choice but to have it on New Years Eve at 12:00 to 1:30 pm. I thought maybe that would let some moms go get their nails done while their kids had fun at the party. But now I am concerned that maybe I am offending people.

ok, intro first: i'm a early-30s male grad student.

i really really wish i were a girl. in particular, a cute 16-to-say-22yo girl.

does that make me transgendered? i don't think so... as the thought of being an -older- woman, say over 40, is entirely unappealing.

i realize i can't be what i wish i could be, so what do i do? i see only three possibilities, the first two which i've done:

(1) get in great shape, and date girls that i wish i could be, and try to sort of live vicariously by them... if i'm really close to a cute girl a lot of the time, at least i get to sense a small part of what it's like to actually be her.

(2) garden-variety crossdressing.

(3) try to make being an older woman appealing, and save up for SRS.

none of these completely fit the bill. any other ideas?

(i'll answer any questions quickly. bottom line: i really, really want to be a cute girl.)

This may seem strange...but I am a 14 year old girl and I can't figure out what to ask for this christmas! My parents keep bugging me to think of something, but I'm having trouble. I am an intelligent teen activist. I am a science buff and somewhat of a nerd. I like art, video games, and outdoor activities. I don't like any typical girly stuff (jewelry, make-up, ect.) and I don't want to just ask for "money" or "a gift card." Any ideas on what would make a good gift?

Certain culture people they use hand to eat. Why? There’s fork and spoon or even chopstick available. Why use hand?

I saw people eating using hands where else spoon and fork it place just next to their plate. It look disgusting and really bother me at the food outlet.

There was a father who had two sons. The oldest son served his father imagining the great inheritance that would someday be his, for his father was very wealthy. The youngest son served his father, simply because he loved his father, and never dreamed of what he might or might not inherit. If the father knew the hearts of the two sons, who would he be more willing to bless? So many of us Christians today are serving God, so that we will go to Heaven, or to get one step further from hell. We appear to the rest of the world as confused hypocrits, We serve God because we want something from Him. Do you agree we need to start serving God, out of love simply for who and what God is? God has already saved us through the sacrifice of Christ, so stop the trying to "make it on your own" stuff! We are saved by grace---which means "undeserved favor" if it is undeserved you cannot deserve or earn it, it is done for you. Who wants to love God and not just His rewards?

Hi.I live in Iran.Please read the following translations for 5 Iranian pop music and tell me which one you like the best.The singer's albums were chosen as the best pop music for the best and the most meaningful lyrics and the best melody in France.If you like to listen to them just e-mail me and I'll send them to you in no time.Cos I'd sent them to 7 Americans and I don't need to attach them again.They all loved them.

First:(mahboobeye shab)
when the night steps in the gardens, the flowers cannot breathe
when the darkness rains (comes down) from the sky, the blooms become sad
when the darkness doesn't allow the flowers to breathe, the "love flower" stays awake at night
she (the love flower) doesn't allow the night to have any effects on her, her smell can be felt even at the other side of the gardens
if (someone) puts the love flower in a vase, and plants thistles all around her
(even) if (someone) walls up all around her body (existence), (even) if everyone accuses all of her fibers
(even with all these difficulties) the smell of the love flower makes its way to the beyond of all the stone walls
(and) the love flower, has a shelter in the heart of the blooms
at nights when the flowers are sitting in the darkness, and they all have closed their eyes because of the horrer of the night
(and) when their body trembles becuase of the fear of the darkness, you "lover flower" are the shelter for them

Second:(yaade man baash)
you left (me) and your memories have sat down in my mind
without you I'm the prisoner of the impossible wishes (ambitions)
you didn't keep me in your memory (you didn't think of me) but, I broke in the memory of you
I didn't fall in love with anyone but you, (because) you're far from me
sing with me and think of me, think of me (keep me in your memory) without any excuses
when the moon is awake, think of me with all your love
if you be (with me), it is possible to pass the (unfortunate) events
and) it is possible to learn how to burst into flames, in the fire of your love)
if you're away (from me), if you're not (with me), (at least) be the breath of my cry
till the end of the world, forever, keep me in your memory (think of me)

Third:(Tasavvor kon)
Imagine.Even if it is hard to imagine.a world where each person is truly fortunate!Imagine a world where money, race, and power have no place!a world where riot police is not the answer to the calls for unity!a world with no nuclear bombs, no artillery, and no bombardments!a world where no child will leave his legs on land mines!Everybody free, totally free! no one in pain, no pain!You wouldn't read in newspapers that whales committed suicide!Imagine a world with no hatred, no gunpowder,no cruelty of arrogant, no fear, no coffin!Imagine a world filled with smile and freedom!full of flowers and kisses! Filled with up-growing improvements!Imagine! Even if it is a crime to imagine so!even if you'd lay down your life on this!Imagine a world where prison does not exist in reality,where all wars of the world are included in ‘The Ceasefire Treaty'!!a world where nobody is ‘The Boss' of the world!people are all equal!Then each person will have an equal share in each single seed of wheat!No border, no boundaries – motherland would mean the entire world!imagine you could be the interpretation of this dream!

Forth:(Booseye Baad)(club mix)
The kiss of the autumnal wind whispers to the lonely leaf unmercifully that you'll be the victim of the autumn
The new green leaf loses its green color, it drowns in the kisses of the wind and the horror of the new days
It (the leaf) abandons the tree and wanders around in the alley (becomes homeless), an alley that is the reminder of the gone and futile days
It (the leaf) sits down in the corner of the alley, stares up at the sky, thinks of the past, and feels pity for it (with sadness)
(It thinks of) the days that the alley was under my body's shade, and the kind lover tree, loved the smell of my breath so much
My share of the wind's kiss, what can I say oh my gosh, was all getting yellow-colored and faded, and dying and being forgotten

Fifth:(Panjareh)
When at sunset, the rain hits the (window) glass
All the sadness in the world is in my chest
In the rain drops, my choked voice breaks (intrupts)
I don't want anything but a window anymore
I sit down behind this window and sing
I wait for your arrival under the rain
Under the rain, waiting for you is very different
Sounds like I love you more when it rains
Sometimes when you come, you put your head on my shoulder
You take all the sadness away from my heart
But this is only a dream, a dream behind the window (glass)
When I'm awake, sadness sits down in my throat again (I become sad again)

sorry, if it was too long.And also sorry for the gramatical mistakes.The rest of them are as beautiful as these, but I haven't translated them yet.
