i asked a guy out recently and he said "no" cuz i act like a little girl. I have a really hyper personality. in my spare time i hop around and jump on beds.........now that i look at it, im more like a cheerful over exagerated person. its really easy for me to make friends cuz i have this really hyper attitude. in my room i have two whole shelves full of stuff animals. my room is decorated in a hellokitty theme. i have ALOT of hello kitty figures and dolls (way over 100 hello kitty items for sure) my curtains are hello kitty, my pillow is shaped as a hello kitty, my door is painted hellokitty, my cup is hellokitty, my tooth paste is a kids hellokitty tooth paste ( i cant stand adult mint tooth paste), and basically everything has a hellokitty decor or a sanrio character. do guys not like girlls like that. i have a hyper childish personality, along with a room full of stuff dolls. oh, and im also a anime fan too. my walls are covered in anime posters. do guys not like this kind of personality in a girlfriend..??? ive been reminded over and over that im a teenage girl with a 6 years old personality inside....

Paint Color Help!?

Hey everybody!
My parents are buying a gorgeous brand new house. The builders have agreed to paint every room a color. (One color...not two) I have a bedroom, closet, and a bathroom.

I am 16 years old teenage girl, and I love sort of eclectic and modern stuff. I love the decor from urban outfitters (http://www.urbanoutfitters.com/jump.jsp?itemType=CATEGORY&itemID=336&iMainCat=336&iSubCat=336)
I want something chic AND NOT BLUE!

Thanks!

If your into modern you may want a flat, untextured (no brush stippling/brush lines) Arctic white. The handles of your closets should be in the minimalist line, which is functional and not flashy; or they can be built-in to the closet doors. If you go built-in, you can ask them to use a wood stain on the area, like a narrow rectangle standing on the short end; or have it as a band across the closet doors to offset the Arctic white of your room.

Treat your bathroom as a walk-in, so no doors and no jambs; and painted the same as your room. If you haven't chosen the fixtures yet, go for fucntion and simplicity.

Is it appropriate to throw my own baby shower?

Please read this all the way before answering. We are having our third child, our first little girl. We had a baby shower for our first child (We threw the shower), but not for our second. The age difference between our current youngest is three years. The reason I am considering throwing my own shower (again) are many. My only friend lives 9 hours away, is in the military and is unable to come up here, and knows no one around us. My mother lives at the bottom of the country, I live at the top, besides that, she is not the type to do that kind of stuff anyway. I do have family here (in laws) that I get along with very well, but most are male and the females (mother in law and neice--that's it) are not financially able to throw someone a baby shower. I stay at home with our other two children, so I have no coworkers. My only sibling is a teenage male, living with my parents at the bottom of the country. In other words, I have no one around that is able to throw one for us. We want to celebrate our long awaited baby girl and would like to share that joy with others. In addition, the baby shower would be held on the same day as our housewarming/July 4th party. We do not want any housewarming gifts and will put that on the invitations. As for baby shower gifts, we have the vast majority of the big ticket items (crib, changing table, swing, bassinet, and will buy the playpen soon) so we are not really concerned about having others buy us stuff so we don't have to ourselves. With the exception of two or three things, the only gifts on the registry (which we created as more of a checklist for us since it's been a few years) are small items (diapers, wipes, clothes, room decor, etc) In addition, we will be funding the entire thing, purchasing all the food, decor, and supplies, along with me doing the majority of the cooking (except for the grilling, which my husband will be in charge of), even at 8 months pregnant. The main objective of the baby shower/housewarming/July 4th party is to have others come over, have fun, see the baby's room and our new home, and share in our excitement for our baby girl. Considering all this, is it appropriate considering we are paying for it all entirely and do not expect a bunch of gifts from the attendees?
Armybride--Even if both of the other children were boys and this one is a girl? I don't have anything from the boys (gave it all away) and if I did, it would all be for boys not girls.....
Soulflower- Thank you! :) I have already told everyone about the baby shower and they are all very happy to come and know why I would have to throw it myself.
jerseykid--My husband does have one female coworker, but he is not close to her, nor is she close to me (seen her once or twice) so no luck on that one
Etcetera--No, we won't be inviting strangers, as (as stated in my question) we do have relatives around us. Those will be the ones invited. Also, the shower is not a plea for gifts, as (as stated in the question) we have the vast majority of what is needed. We already plan on notifying guests to please don't feel obiligated to bring gifts, as the shower is not about the gifts (even though so many can't seem to believe that). We are one of the most well off (if not the most well off) in the family, so we really don't care about the gifts as we can afford the baby stuff ourselves.
Also- to everyone who suggests throwing a party after the baby is born, as nice as that sounds, I know I will not feel up to it. I already have a 2 and 4 year old (soon to be 3 and 5) and will not feel up to hosting a party with a newborn (or few month old) and two other small children running around. Thank you for the suggestion though! :)
I feel I have to ask--Why do some people consider it tacky if it is NOT about the gifts and I don't even expect everyone to bring a gift??? If it's not about the gifts, I finance everything and no one is out a penny and gets free food and fun, what is the tacky part?????

Congrats on your baby girl.

I think you should have the baby shower, even if it's you throwing it. I didn't get a baby shower for similar reasons and I really wish I would have had one, even though I had more than I needed for my son. If you feel that you can afford to throw yourself a baby shower than it's a great idea and you should. Even if you don't need many presents it is still a great way for you and others to celebrate your-soon-to-be-born-daughter. I missed out and I regret it, so go for it and have fun.

Take pictures and save a few things for your daughter to have in the future.

WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THE BEGINNING OF MY STORY?

CHAPTER 1:

In the ancient and historical city of Washington DC, on a certain summer day, I was rolled top and bottom in mud in an attempt to get rid of my chasers.
Ironically, on that very same day, I was crowned the Queen of Royal States Dominion. It’s amazing how much your life can change in one day.
I was never supposed to be queen. I was not part of the Abraxas Line of Succession. I was just another tourist visiting my country’s capital snapping pictures of everything in sight. The happy banners hung everywhere, waving from every roof top, were not in my honor but Princess Alexandria’s, the woman who was to become queen. The banners said ‘Long Live Queen Alexandria!’ They did not say ‘Long Live Queen Lela!’ All the talk that week had been about Princess Alexandria and her coronation minus the terrible tragedy that led to it. But there was no talk of the teenage girl who had come to Washington DC with her class in the ‘Kids of the Future’ program to learn about her nation’s history.
How did this happen? Surprisingly, it’s pretty simple but according to the person who is publishing this, a memoir has to be longer than a page, so I have to fill you in all the details instead of giving you the simple truth. I’ll try to write as much as I can but be forewarned. Congress, my group of advisors, are arranging a meeting which is to begin in a few hours to discuss this ‘unfortunate mishap’ but I’ll write as much as possible from now till then.

The dude leading the tour was called Mr. Berkeley.
He walked up front, guiding us through the hallways congested with Secret Service agents, portraits of past presidents, and huge marble busts of monarchs in the Abraxas dynasty.
I didn’t know how the ‘Kids of the Future’ director, Mr. Jackson, managed to pull this off. I mean, how many people can get a private tour of the Capitol Palace by one simple phone call that didn’t just go to the parts you see in the public tour, but in the private family parts you never see, except maybe on TV, and even then it’s just some director’s idea of how the family’s private quarters look, and not the real thing?
It blew my mind.
The décor looked quaint, even more quaint than when the Royal States Dominion was the United States of America. It looked, if you asked me, like something when the United States of America was first founded about fifteen hundred years back. I guess the Abraxas monarchs liked to keep things traditional even though they were memories of the broken government.
He gathered us into a large open bedroom, that had an arched ceiling. I recognized it from the holographs of the Capitol Palace I had studied before I came here. It was the bedroom of James Abraxas, the first monarch in the Abraxas dynasty as well as the person who restored North America, establishing the Kingdom of the Royal States Dominion. He started telling us the history of the room which I already knew by heart so I inserted a small cylinder into each of my ears and opened my wrist computer, putting it on screen setting so Mr. Jackson wouldn’t see the holographic proof that I wasn’t paying an inkling of attention. I surfed through the long list of songs, selecting ‘Born For This’ by Paramore. I was a big fan of the classics. Even though the quality of the recording was awful back when Paramore was a band, I feel that their songs can still relate to me even if I am three hundred years after them.
I could see my friend, Jade, turn every now and then and by the way my head is bent down so they are staring at my bright blue converse (It still surprises me that fashion hasn’t changed at all in the past three-hundred-something years.) with my hands tucked into to the pockets of my faded black skinny jeans, she knows that I’m listening to the amazing musical talents of Paramore- according to me, not her. She smiles at me mischievously and catching Mr. Jackson’s prize winning glare, she turns her attention back to our tour guide.
At that very moment, Prince William, King George Washington Abraxas’ grandson, enters the room. All of us jump in shock. To see a royal who might someday rule our country in person is equal to well, by my standards, meeting with Paramore.
Prince William is seventeen years old, a year older than me. He has shiny dark brown hair that ends just below his ears and curves in all different directions, making his cheek bones more noticeable and his bright blue eyes more prominent than before. I can’t help but think that he is so incredibly handsome even though I know that I’m never going to be the Cinderella who always gets her prince for a variety of reasons. One, I know that the Prince is probably arrogant due all the other girls who fall all over him and I refuse to be like that. Two, even if the prince isn’t arrogant and haughty and everything else in a person that totally pisses me off, he has too much of a public life while I am in the Covert Operations portion of the ‘Kids of the Future’ program and everyt
everything else in a person that totally pisses me off, he has too much of a public life while I am in the Covert Operations portion of the ‘Kids of the Future’ program and everything I do is strictly confidential. Three, William is such a boring name.
He seems a little surprised to see us here- I guess there were no public tours today- but he recovers quickly and raises his hand in greeting. We return with a smile and a ‘Your Highness.’
We stand their awkwardly in complete silence. My earpiece’s volume which was barely noticeable before on account of Mr. Berkeley talking but now, everyone within ten yards can hear the music blasting from my ears. Mr. Jackson turns to glare at me and everyone giggles. Mr. Jackson’s glares are extremely hilarious when they aren’t pointed at you.
Under Mr. Jackson’s steel gaze, I slowly reach up and take out the nanotechnology from my ears, dropping it into his open palm.
“I’m sorry,” I said, except it sounds more like a question than apology.
“No, you’re not,” said Mr. Jackson. He beckons to the double doors. “Out. Now. We need to talk.”
.I know its wrong to but I think that Mr. Jackson’s lectures and tantrums are so hilarious.
I hold my breath and follow Mr. Jackson out of the room. The prince is staring at me curiously probably because I’m grinning from ear to ear, recalling all of Mr. Jackson’s tantrums in the past and trying very, very hard not to burst into laughter right there.
Mr. Jackson didn’t even bother to close the door behind us. It was like he wanted me to be publicly humiliated. My grin widened at the thought, a hint of my insanity.
“You are giving us problems, missy,” he said.
That was all he’d managed because a Secret Service man was running toward us. “Tags!” He ordered.
We showed him the pass we had been given. He scanned it and then asked, “Have you seen Prince William?”
“Right here.” said the prince, appearing at the door.
The Secret Service man looked relieved. “Your Highness, please follow me
Something has happened.”
The prince looked worried and bid our whole group a formal farewell before proceeding toward the Oval Office. I looked around and noticed Secret Service men everywhere, talking into their throat mikes, and all running toward the Oval Office.
The Oval Office.
The King’s work room.
Suddenly, I understood.
King James Abraxas IV was dead.

END OF PART 1 OF CHAPTER 1

My opinion is that you had a lot of voice but need more excitment. I was a little confused at the beginning and honestly a little bored....but I did really like this line you wrote though "At that very moment, Prince William, King George Washington Abraxas’ grandson, enters the room. All of us jump in shock. To see a royal who might someday rule our country in person is equal to well, by my standards, meeting with Paramore." :) I also thought it got more interesting towards the end. I guess I just didnt feel like reading the beginning :) All in all, it was pretty interesting and well written.
