I have an appointment tomorrow morning at 8am at the San Diego passport agency. I'm just wondering how long the appointment will last, because I have class at 10am and I really hope I don't have to miss it. Thanks!

Wow I'm just having a total brain fail and it's driving me crazy. What's the name for a student that has been accepted to a college, but hasn't chosen to attend there yet? I'm pretty sure it starts with a p...haha I know, dumb random question, but I need that name pronto! Thanks!

For my Psych class, I have to use Wimba Classroom. The setup wizard worked perfectly on Chrome, while it failed on Firefox. But now I can't launch the actual program. It's a button that when you click it, should trigger a popup containing the program. The funny thing is, THAT part worked on Firefox, but now it's not working on Chrome. I've tried everything I can think of -- triple checking to make sure flash and java are enabled and always allowed in my Chrome setting...I'm ready to start crying. I seriously need this thing to work tonight or I can say goodbye to the A I currently have in that class. Any help is very appreciated :(

Hi guys! I need a bit of help trying to figure out the right shirt size, because men's sizes are beyond me...Christmas is coming up, so I'm getting my best friend a shirt with his favorite band on it! I'm pretty sure he'd be a medium...but he might be a large, and I want to make sure I get it right! He's 6' and weighs around 160lbs. Very in shape, works out a lot and has some muscle (really only visible when he flexes though). He doesn't like to wear things tight...most of his shirts are relatively loose/normal fitting on him. So, would a medium be right? Or a large? Thanks in advance!

Okay, so please, I'm only looking for honest and serious replies, so don't waste my or your time if you're not going to take this seriously. I just really need the honest opinions of as many guys as are willing to help. Thank you so much! :)

Alright, so I'm seventeen; senior in high school. I haven't had a boyfriend in nearly two years, and since then every guy I've liked has turned me down and 90% end up with another girl. It's maddening. I'm not going to all sob story and my life is miserable, because I have great guy friends to help me through that, but I still don't get it. According to everyone I've talked to, I'm very attractive (I hate saying that; not being vain, I promise), I'm smart, I'm funny, interesting, dress well, loyal...blah blah blah all those good traits. But guys just see me as a friend. They all want to be friends with me, and think I'm awesome and tomboyish but at the same time pretty and girly, but they never want to date me (I wouldn't want to date them either, anyway, but that's just some background). My best girl friend said she had the same problem for a while, and it's because we're intimidating people, because even though I'm cripplingly shy around guys I like, everywhere else I'm bold and artsy and confident, and guys might be afraid to approach me like I'm afraid to approach them...

Anyway, long story short...last year I liked a guy all year, took him to a dance, had several classes with him, and got to be really good friends with him. I tried so hard all year, but I never got him. I'm EXTREMELY shy, so flirting is basically not even an option for me. It was rare that I liked a guy I could actually talk to. Anyway, I had my month of heartbreak over him and then came back to school and boom! He gets a girlfriend the second week of school. Lovely. That's okay, though, because I like someone new...

But I can't talk to him. I'm terrified. I really REALLY want it to work out this time, but I always get turned down, and I don't know why. Probably because I out of the blue tell the guys that I like them, because I'm too scared to build a solid friendship/even talk to them much before I take that big step. So I'm stuck in that spot again. He's this amazing guy that I've had classes with and loosely known for three years, but we've barely talked or anything. We're both in the musical, so I see him after school every day, but same thing...I'm too afraid to talk to him. To even say hi, really, because he has a very intimidating presence. And he's been known to be quite cold and sharp, and I know that for a fact. He's never had a girlfriend, but I really doubt that he doesn't want one.

One more problem. One of his best friends likes him. They're always together, always talking and laughing. And they're both playing the leads in the musical. Aka, they have a lot of making out to do for the show. Obviously, she has a much better shot than me. But I don't want to give up. I just don't know what to do. Do I just flat out ask him out before she gets to him first? Or will that just scare him away or make him whip out that cold personality and shut me down? I know it's better to build a friendship with him first...but I'm too scared to do that! What do I do?!

Alrighty, so I'm still reading/watching InuYasha (at the same time, which is cool but also complicated because there are so many differences between the manga and the anime), and it would probably be best for me to wait until the end to see if my questions are answered throughout the story...but I'm one of those people that can't move forward if I don't understand something. Kikyo, again, is one of my favorite characters but she's still driving my brain completely insane. I already know what happens to her by the end...so no surprise there. But I just have a few more questions for now...

1. Why did she try to kill Kagome (that time she took the Shikon Jewel shards from her)? Was it just because she has no attachment to Kagome so she really couldn't care less what happens to her, or does she actually have a grudge or some real hatred for her? In the manga she explained it was because there couldn't be two of them in the world at once...but, well, yeah. Heh?

2. When she's talking about having her soul freer in her false body...it's hard to explain, that just kind of confused me. Especially because in the manga she says she's finally free OF hatred and love, but in the anime she says she's finally free TO hate and love. I guess something I've just kind of gathered is that her persona now is completely different than it had been when she was alive...right? I know she says she's changed a lot since those fifty years. I mean, everyone always talked about her as being this incredibly pure and kind-hearted woman with not a bad bone in her body (when she was alive). But now...she's pretty cold and cruel, if you ask me. I get that's because of the betrayal and everything...but still. Is killing Naraku honestly the ONLY thing she cares about in her undead revival? Like, absolutely nothing else matters at all. That's why she brushes aside Kagome and doesn't care if she kills her, and why she's cold to InuYasha constantly. Sorry...that was a lot of questions in one. The end ties into my last question (for now...muahahaha)

3. Stupid question, but honestly...HOW THE HELL DOES SHE FEEL ABOUT INUYASHA??! This has been bugging me from the very beginning -- the instant she was brought back to life. Because obviously she DID truly love him fifty years ago (I don't understand the people that say she didn't), and...yeah. Just...arrg I don't even know. Does anyone else agree with me that you really have to take the manga as truth and kinda ignore parts of the anime because they aren't true to the characters at some points? Like, Kikyo in the manga is a lot closer to that kind and pure souled miko that I imagined her to be, and she seems to still love InuYasha. Especially when she says his life is hers, and then when he saves her from Naraku's soul stealer and they talk under the old tree where Kikyo shot InuYasha. She's much more...soft, and she responds to his obvious adoration and love and willingly hugs him and thanks him for being there for her. In the anime...they made Kikyo pure evil, basically! It's driving me nuts! She's so cold and harsh and they took the affection out of her interactions with InuYasha, like when she very angrily demands he let her go when he hugs her. And then that whole bit with the knife...what the hell?! Where did that come from?! I guess my big question is how did the anime Kikyo skip from embracing InuYasha tightly and longingly, and then kissing him and feeling that love she'd had for him...to suddenly not wanting him to touch her or protect her. I don't know. I just...I mean, I have my theories, but I'd really like to hear what some other diehard InuYasha readers/watchers have to say.

Thanks sooooo much!!! Until my next round of questions! (because I'm sure there will be more!)

I love almost all of the characters in InuYasha, but I'd have to say Kikyo is my favorite. Or at least, she's tied with InuYasha, Kagome, Sango, and Koga. But she gives me the worst headache in the world because I cannot for the life of me figure out her true motives! Please, real answers here; I know I care about this more than most people would so you don't need to point that out. Just help me clarify a few things...

1. Why did she try to drag InuYasha into hell with her, even after Kagome said it was Naraku that had killed her? Was it because she still hated him and wanted him to die so that her spirit could finally rest? Or was that her original intent, but once she found out he was still in love with her she just wanted him to die with her so that they could be together in the afterlife? Or maybe even after hearing him, was it that her soul literally couldn't move past hating him so she was forced to still despise him? It's just driving me insane; I've reread that chapter of the manga and rewatched that episode of the anime so many times and still can't fully understand what she's saying/feeling.

2. Okay...this one's really just an extended part of my first question. Yeah...sorry. When she was saying all those things to him, did she really mean them? Well first, when she was saying to Kagome that she wanted his heart...yeah, that really confused me. Does she want his heart as in, "He can live and I'll live on in his heart in this broken body," or "I want his heart --- aka I want to take his heart/kill him so he can't forget about me."? And when she kissed him and all that, she says her kiss was real...but wasn't it what caused InuYasha to fall unconscious? So was it true, or just another lie? Does she still love him, or in her reborn state does she only care about putting her soul to rest? And is that by avenging her death by killing Naraku, or is the only way for her to really rest in peace by killing InuYasha?

Sorry for the long (and pointless to many of you) questions! I have several more, but I'll stick with these for now! Please help, and thank you if you're sincere!

Java has been flat out not working. It's ridiculous. I have the newest version, I even reinstalled it and have rebooted my computer several times. I know Java scripting is enabled; I redid it, too. But still, every site I'm going to that requires Java is saying something along the lines of "It appears you do not have Java, or it is disabled. Please install Java or try rebooting your computer." I know it's not disabled. I have rebooted my computer. I know I have Java! Why isn't it working then?

So, over the summer I started to really like this guy I know. This year I have a class with him and I sit right in front of him, and he's part of my lunch group, and I've been talking to him a lot more so we're friends now more than acquaintances. He's kind of awkward though...or at least in the relationship department. Like, he doesn't express emotions when it comes to liking girls or not so I have absolutely no idea how to get him to like me. Some of my good friends talked me into asking him to an upcoming dance, and he gave me the weirdest expression and...it was awkward. He said sure though, and I don't think he would have said yes if he didn't want to go. It's been about a week, and nothing's changed. I still talk to him every day, but at lunch it's awkward and some days I talk to him a bunch in class and others the conversation is dead. How do I know if he likes me if he doesn't express anything, or how do I get him to like me without making him even more awkward? Please be serious; I know I'm just a stupid pathetic high school girl that worries too much about all the minor details, but I can't help asking for advice :) We're both 16, if that makes any difference at all. Thanks for any and all help.

Okay, so I got sick last Tuesday (about a week and a half ago) and I'm just getting worse every day. My parents have put me on like three different meds. but nothing's helping. Right now I'm at the point where my appetite is completely gone, my nose runs 24/7 and it's coming out thick and green, my head pounds like a hammer's hitting it constantly (I think I have a sinus infection), my cough is usually rough and phlegm-filled, and the other day I had an ear ache and felt extremely nauseous. I haven't thrown up, and I don't have a fever so my dad says I don't have the flu...but why am I not getting any better?? He thinks I'm just freaking myself out and I just have a bad cold. Both my parents refuse to take me to the doctor because they say it won't help at all. I've already missed five days of school and am failing one of my classes because of it, and it's FINALLY the four day weekend I've been looking forward to for weeks. I already had to cancel my plans for today and my dad says I need to for tomorrow. Sunday is Valentine's Day though, my first one with a boyfriend, and I don't want to miss it because he planned out the entire day :( Please help me!! I'm so miserable!

Okay this just happened like ten minutes ago...my guess is I picked up something on Facebook or whatever (geez...>.<), but now I can't right click and open links/new tab. Instead, my laptop just makes sort of an odd popping sound. Anyone know how to fix this?? Please?? :(

K, so I was almost out of space on my C: hardrive so I ran a disk cleanup and pretty much let it do everything on the list...and I'm not quite sure which it was, perhaps messing with my setup files, but now I can't access like any programs at all. Sony Vegas says that the drive/network connection is unavailable, Paint Shop Pro says it's not accessable, and now my computer won't read my external hardrive either when I try to hook it up. And then my external hardrive starting beeping and the lights kept flickering so I freaked out and unplugged it. Someone help!!!!! I'm completely terrified right now!!!

i've recently discovered that the available space on my 50gb hardrive is rapidly disappearing. i deleted almost all of my music, all the files i can redownload later, and sent my word documents to my email so i could delete them too. ...it didn't really give me any more space. i'm down to 2gb left, and i really have nothing more to delete. i'm starting to freak out, because i've been noticing that every day, my space becomes smaller, and i haven't saved anything new in weeks. just today, it dropped from 2.44gb to 2.16. does anyone know what's going on??? and how can i stop it and get my space back??? my dad promised he'd look at it, but he hasn't yet and soon i'll be out of space :(

lol me and my random questions that really won't help me at all in life. oh well....^-^ I was just wondering if kstew wore glasses, because if she did, that would be cool. i'm a 4-eyes and...well, not proud of it, but...yeah. i have glasses/contacts :( In Speak, Kristen wears glasses...but I don't know if they were really hers, of if it was just for the role. If anyone knows, could they please tell me??? thanks! ^-^

One of my best friends is really freaked because she thinks that her account might get frozen, but she didn't do anything wrong. But we both know a lot of accounts have been unfairly frozen. She has like three other accounts, but they're all on the same email. Mine are all on one email too. She's REALLY freaked, because she's been playing forever and has a lot of stuff on her accounts. If one of your accounts gets frozen, do the others that you have on that same email get frozen too? Please, help us!

Does anyone know the exact date of Edward Cullen and Bella Swan's wedding? I'm pretty sure it was sometime in late July, because it was seventeen days after the wedding that Bella found out she was pregnant, and then she was pregnant for about a month before she was transformed into a vampire on September 10th...I know...random, but I really want to know their wedding day!!!

You know how in the first three books...the title of that book is mentioned by a character? Like...

TWILIGHT: Edward Cullen - "It's twilight. It's the safest time of day for us. The easiest time. But also the saddest, in a way...the end of another day, the return of the night." (and it's mentioned again at prom)

NEW MOON: Bella Swan - Not tonight. Tonight the sky was utterly black. Perhaps there was no moon tonight - a lunar eclipse, a new moon.

ECLIPSE: Jacob Black - "The clouds I can handle. But I can't fight with an eclipse."

Does anyone know what the one for Breaking Dawn is??? I don't remember stumbling across it...but I did zoom through the book rather fast... ;P Thanks!
