    Alright so this boy, let's call him Michael, has been my friend for a few years. (Since 7th grade, now we're in 10th) We actually 'went out' in 7th grade but it was one of those times where, you know, we're too young and it didn't really count. We were just too shy around each other. So now 3 years later, we've been hanging out a lot. But not just us 2, we usually hang out with a group of our closest friends. We did a lot of fun stuff together last month and last night we all went to go see Paranormal Activity (which is not as scary as it looks, trust me) and I sat by Michael through the whole movie. He even nudged me and tried to scare me a few times. But before the whole movie thing, we walked around town for a little bit and some random photographer wanted to take our picture... well a few. He seemed to make a point in standing next to me whenever he could... he was even close. And then after the movie we were dropped off at someone's house and walked a couple miles (we all live in the same area in the country) because I guess we weren't ready for the day to end. But we ended up walking to his house because his mom ordered us all pizza and called him. So as we're walking to his house (mind you it got pretty dark) he would still walk next to me whenever he could and he even pulled me out of the way when a car was coming behind us. I could see the lights, but I didn't think of how close it was. I didn't say anything to it, and neither did he. But I felt that the silence had more to say. So then we arrived at his house, ate pizza, watched 'Dude where's my car?" And we ended up using the "Truth or Dare 18+" application on his iTouch. We didn't do anything too bad. It was more fun than obnoxious. I would never want to act that way in front of my best friends. But every time my name was spun on the thing, I didn't even get to pick Truth or Dare. Either him or the other two always picked dare for me (by pressing that button on the screen). It then came to a spin the bottle dare for me. I spun and it landed on an empty space, which Michael moved his leg into. Does that mean anything significant? I'm not being naive, I know that that could mean he wants me to kiss him. But I don't want to jump to conclusions. I don't know if my other 2 friends know anything about Michael and his thoughts. I don't know them myself. But in your opinion, would you say he has feelings for me? Or would you say he was just flirting because he can? Mind you, he's not known for acting this way.
  • Met a guy online and i need advice...?

    I've been chatting to this guy online, via text, on webcam and on the phone for a couple of months now, so I'm pretty certain he is who he says he is. We're meant to be meeting up in december and I'm taking a couple of other people with me, and we're meeting in a public place, so i should be fine. We seem to get on really well, and we talk about almost everything and anything. Just not sexual talk. The thing is i think i'm falling for him, and i don't know what to do about it. I think he feels the same way, and we've discussed long distance relationships (because he lives about 200 miles away) and we've decided we're not making any commitment until we've met up at least once. I just want to know if anyone else has met someone online and what happened. Thanks guys
  • Guys: What would you do if a girl tells you she likes you?

    We've liked each other for a long time (I know he does cos he stares at me a lot, gets nervous when I talk to him and his friends told me so) but he said/did nothing after I told him I like him. I'm not expecting much, just him to come out with it and admit he likes me back. I'm just asking to know maybe it's time to move on.
  • I met a nice guy but he texted me something very strange?

    I met this nice guy and I like him alot. So far, he seems really cool. Hes 20 and at 1am on a Saturday, he was a party but he wasn't drinking and he just randomly texted me the word 'blumpkin' (which apparently means some strange sexual position). When I asked him what it meant, he sent the word again. It's creepy. What should I do?

  • guys: how important are looks to you?

    Singles & Dating - 5 hours ago

    be honest.. Veos- you pretty much just contradicted yourself. You said that guys who think that looks are important are jerks and a.s.s.holes, but then you said if a girl wasn't good looking then you wouldn't take things any further....which means looks are more important to you

  • GUY PROBLEMS! HELP ME WITH THIS BOY!?

    Singles & Dating - 5 hours ago

    He's new and shy. I'm shy as well. He is in my Chemistry class, Gym class, and he rides my bus. He was my partner in Chem today. He and I both laugh and smile easily. :) How do I talk to him? He didn't know whether or not to come over to me to be my partner today (don't ask) but I did the little "come here" movement with my hand. Do guys like that? He came over and we set up. Another girl, blonde and beautiful by the way, was working with us and he didn't give her a second glance. However, when I lit a match for the first time, for the lab, I jumped back because I got a little scared. He looked up at me in the eyes and smiled, amused apparently. Also he figured out the math part of the lab in his head and I called him smart. He smiled. Did he like that? He's just really shy and I think because he is in a lower grade, he might think that I am not interested in him. But I really am. He doesn't speak to anyone because he is REALLY shy.How do I start a relationship with him? Thanks! I heard that he has a girlfriend but I am not sure. We smile at each other a lot... I am a Junior and he is a Sophomore. And I already am a Born-Again Christian, thank you very much.

SPRING TURNOVER

Posted Mon, Jun 01, 2009
POST A COMMENT »

After surviving the doom and gloom the economic world has endured, it may be time for a bright lift at home. Optimism is back in the air and that little kick is back in our steps. With the stock markets rebounding and real estate markets starting to move again, I think we can start to feel a little better. Thank goodness, because you know I have that small addiction to real estate and can't resist a home with great bones in need a little TLC (tools, labour and cash), so for me it's important that we enjoy a solid real estate market. So with the turn around, I'm in a great mood and am looking forward to bringing spring home.

Spring is about lightening up at home. Start by taking down heavy drapery panels and opening up the blinds. How about some fabulous bamboo shades, sheer shades or even cotton drapery panels that will billow in a light spring breeze? Yes, letting the light in and brightening up those windows is step number one.

On the floor, roll up heavy area carpets (the cow hides, the sheep skins and wool) and dress the floor in spring textures such as sisal, hemp, braided organic cotton or try the New York trend of a moss carpet (honest, try a Google search on moss floors or even check them out on YouTube). Another spring texture one can include around the house is sheer gauzes, or, spruce up the spring feeling by using hot spring shades such as geranium, pink pansy, sunflower yellow or new bud green. Patterns in your drapery, area carpets and accessories can also summon spring - try wide summer stripes, oversized geometrics and organics such as coral and flowers.

I prefer to use glass, white mother of pearl and silver containers and vases in spring and summer. Remember to group items together for greater impact. Try filling glass containers with sand or coarse salt, top with an air plant for a refreshing look.

You should also replace fall and winter toss cushion and throws with lighter and brighter spring pieces. I often change my lamps or my lampshades - black alligator lampshades in the family room are changed to cream linen shades, and in the master bedroom you can change the gilded gold bases to coral or tree stump bases.

The change of season gives us a great opportunity to alter our rooms without spending a lot of time or money. Just as we are oh so tired of wearing our winter clothes and can't wait to put them away for a few months, our rooms are equally as anxious to put away their winter attire and turn over a new spring look.
