Whimsical One:]

I'm starting to have the beginning of black bags under my eyes. How do I stop them?!? Usually, my skin looks nice and refreshed, but I just started noticing these bags starting to darken under my eyes.

Lately, I've been going to sleep at 4 and 5 am, and waking up at 2 in the afternoon, then going to basketball practices from 5 to 7. These are probably factors of the problem. What do I do?

But I have a MILD sprained ankle. I JUST sprained it this morning because I slipped and fell on some ice :/ My ankle is swollen and sort of hurts to walk on. I can limp though.

Is there anything I can do today to make the swelling go down and make it feel manageable to walk on? I realllyyyyy wanna play, and it's the last game of the season.

Well, the main question I'm asking is can you return items on clearance? And items that were 50% off or more? [Or is that also considered clearance too?] And specifically at Rue 21. Also, where to find some cheap, nice looking skinny jeans? Oh, and can you exchange items for the same item, just in another color?

So, I'm shopping, and I'm like hey; I'm doing good. I had got 2 shirts, 2 tanks and a bunch of undies for like $30. The only expensive thing I got were these jeans that were $20. Now keep in mind I wear a medium in shirts. So when I got home, I came to realize that my two tank tops were a large and a extra large [I thought I grabbed mediums], one of the shirts was a small, and the other shirt I got looks like another shirt I have at home in the same color :/

Smdh.

Do you know any websites for junior clothing that are cute and not toooo expensive?

Thanks:]

Honest opinions:]

What's the difference between expressing your opinions about someone and talking about them behind them behind their back?

What made you happy today?

What are some of your goals?

What did you find out today?

I'm happy because I my grades are pretty great [for me anyways]. I have like 7 A's and 1 D+ for my grades. Yeah.. I know the D ruins it all. But man.. all the A's? That's like the BEST my grades have ever been.

Some of my goals are to end the year with a 3.8 GPA or higher, get a job, and do something totally unexpected and fun:]

Something I found out today was that I really. Seriously. Hate my school :P Or the people there, anyway.

So during winter break, my sleeping schedule go thrown off to the point where I couldn't sleep until it was 4 in the morning. So like two days ago, I had woke at 3 pm and stayed up throughout that day and the next one for school without any sleep so I would be able to remain asleep.

I went to sleep at like 10, but I woke up. Now, here I am, 3:35 am, and I can't sleep. Is there anything wrong with me? I thought I would've been fast asleep because of lack of sleep.. and I have school in 2 hours :

Since no one in the other section wanted to answer my question, I have hopes more people will be willing to answer here?

Thankssss:]

...likes to eat the cake mix or muffin mix from the bowl?

:]

1) What makes you attracted to a certain guy or girl?

2) What's your first move when you like someone?

3) What about a guy or girl you like intimidates you?

Just curious. Answer. Please? Pretty please? For me? :]

For instance, a girl tells you she likes a boy, but she doesn't know what to do. YOU tell her to tell him she likes him.

I know I'd never have the guts to do that. But I tell people all the time to do that lol.

Do you do the same?

Do you have any other examples?

Mine is usually messy.. lol. It sucks.

But my sister and I stayed up till like 4 in the morning and cleaned it:]

BQ: What are your plans today?

Basketball practice. Then I'm gonna see if I can invite my friend over so we can work on a project.

BQ2: Do you share a room?

Yep :P

BQ3: What did you wake up to today?

I woke up several times. FIRST, I woke up to my sister on her laptop watching a movie[she didn't have any headphone's in or anything] that was loud, then a hour later I woke up to her talking to some random guy that called her at like 6 in the morning, THEN I woke up to my dad barging into my room with breakfast lol.

I found out that I have 20 absences so far this year. Some are excused, but most of them aren't. And my absences aren't full days missed; most of them are from me coming to school extremely late. My grades are all A's and B's. Do you think the school would consider holding me back or no?

Honest opinions ONLY.

My mom. My step dad. My brother.

I tried to convince myself I was leaving them for something better, something more meaningful, something more worth while. I tried to convince myself it’d be great in the end, as doubts started to creep to the furthest part of my mind. It was hard not to turn myself around, the cold air stiffening and tensing my muscles; not to mention the fear that was slowly, but surely dispersing throughout my body, throughout my thoughts.

I couldn’t see very far ahead of myself. The only light provided was the light shining down from the moon. Several times I stumbled upon brambles of leaves and twigs, creating an immense sound that echoed in the distance. The night was so still and silent. It was eerie. And it was strange. It was so quiet, something I was not used to. I was accustomed to never ending, excessive noises; shouting, shrieks, laughter, blaring music… But the intense silence was even more suffocating to me. It held a long lasting grip on me, taking my breath away.

Crunch.

I stopped completely, steadying myself in my tracks. My neck snapped behind me as I peered around to see what had made that crisp, clear resonance. Behind me were tall, thin, and naked red wood that stood as calligraphy against the sky. I shuddered, my breath fogging the air in front of me. There is nothing, that was nothing, I thought to myself.

I continued on, the snow densing beneath my boots with every step I took. And a good twenty minutes later, my feet began to grow heavier and heavier. So I stopped to catch my breath. There, I heard the unearthly, bewildering whisper.

Hazel.

My heart stopped. The voice was very faint, very soft, but very audible. But what made it the most overwhelming was that it knew my name.

Hazel.

It called my name was more, and what followed was a startling cackle. That was enough to send me dashing off into nowhere, from the guiding path I had been following for the longest. All around me, I heard the unknown and unseen creature calling for my name, at first softly, then into a gruesome demand for me to come forth to it. I refused and just kept running, the cold, harsh wind stinging my skin. I could feel something close behind me, coming after me. It was a hard feeling not ignore. What was chasing me had a strong, demeaning presence, as if it wanted to hold me captive, and pull out my soul. I was terrified.

I was still running. My feet were growing heavy underneath me again, my feet hard to pick up. And my breath became shallower and shallower. My chest had caught on fire, and I was wheezing terribly. The last thing I remember was tumbling to the ground helplessly. Hands entangled around me. Words were said which I couldn’t understand. Then darkness.

.. then how do you balance it with school work? I'm having a REALLY hard time balancing the two. It doesn't help, either, that I'm a big procrastinator and that I get distracted really easily. I play basketball, and I don't get home till late. Like a couple of days ago, I didn't get home until 10:30 because I had an out of town game :P My grades are starting to drop; not drastically, but they're still dropping :/

Tips? Please? Thanks.
