Question #1:

What do y'all think of my short story?

I'm writing a blog and I want some input:

Confessions of Riley Clarieson


So it had been almost 3 years with Travis. Every girl wants a bad boy and trust me he was hers. He fit the mold perfectly. He was just your average guitar playing, and skate boarding guy. However he was very immature, and selfish. At this point Riley had learned to live with Travis’ personality and she truly loved him. Now if could just learn to control her urges for the "others".
There was Daniel this 38 year old guy she worked with, Eric her ex, and Jason her first ever crush.
Yes it sounds selfish to like all of these guys but regardless they all danced in her head daily.
Out of all the guys Daniel would be the worst one for her but he was the one she cared about the most (other than Travis)…..
She sat there at work listening to her Ipod as she watched Daniel out of the corner of her eyes as he walked back and forth to his Managers office. Yes Daniel definitely made working in a Chevrolet dealership fun. As she looked at Daniel once more she thought to herself “Oh the things I wished I could do to him”. Something about her made her crave his touch. She had him once. Way back when she had first started her current job. She may have forgotten to mention she was under age at the time. It was just a harmless “quickie”. What a “quickie” that was though. I’m sure his desk had never seen action like that. Never in her wildest dream did she ever think she would have her pants pull down, sitting on top of Daniel’s desk being F-ed senseless. It was a good thing that no one else was in the building or his and her loud screams would have been heard I’m sure. She didn’t know if it was the fact that she was underage or the rush of having worked sex but WOW.
Her fiancée knew about it. It happened while they were broken up. She wished at times that she could visit the moment in time just once more. "Mmmmm" she thought to herself as she thought to herself as she glanced over to his desk. Travis was a sex addict but weirdly their whole relationship they hadn’t had a “ton” of sex. Sometimes Travis acted funny. It made Riley question him. She told train of thought as Daniel walked by. He liked to play Riley. One minute he would make her feel like he wanted her and other time he would make her feel like she didn't exist in his world. Much like every guy had ever done to her. She wondered sometimes why she liked Daniel. He wasn't the cutest guy in the world or the smartest. He had power over her that she just couldn't stop.


(That is a rough version. I know I need to clean up the grammar and what not.)
I want input.
What do y'all think?


Riley is a 19 year old girl her is engaged and also caught between 4 guys. The part when she's talking about Daniel is supposed to have more details but I want to keep this clean.

(There's alot more to it but this is like the first page.)

Question #2:

should I tell my boss about how much pain I'm in?

I have a problem where my hip repeatedly sub-luxates, something to do with lax tendons and the general formation of the joint. I have this in both hips, but one is much worse than the other. I actually thought this had been resolved about 4 years ago, but I recently started to have problems again, to the point where I am sitting at my desk almost crying from the pain and can't concentrate on work. Thing is, I have been unlucky this year with my health and have had a fai few sick days. I don't really want to take any more, but I'm sure he's wondering why my productivity is suffering. I'm also terrified cos I know I will probably need an op, and with the kind of contract I have they can easily get rid of my while I'm off and I can't get unemployment (being in Italy suck sometimes). What to do!?
I know it's not easy to find a job, that's why I'm terrified of losing this one! At the same time I don't want to end up damaging the joints and soft tissue so badly I end up in a chair...
Hi Tigri, great answer but my boss is really stingy. One of my colleagues has already asked for a special chair for a chronic back problem and he is refusing to buy one. We are all sitting on the very cheapest plastic chairs... apart from him, of course!

Question #3:

Is it gross to change your tampon during class?

Okay I know it sounds gross.. but hear me out first..im 15 btw.

so my teacher let me sit at her desk cause she's cool like that and i raised my hand first. im on my period (sry TMI i know) and i have a heavy flow. i could feel the blood coming out and i didnt get a chance to change my tampon that day. so i pretended to drop my pencil and i went under the desk and i slipped on a tampon from my purse. i believe in female rights and i support breast feeding in public, etc.. so i dont see a problem with this, as long as no one else sees anything. but as i was taking out the used tampon the guy that i kinda like (who im also friends with) came over to get a sheet of looseleaf and he saw everything. i mean i shaved and everything but he saw blood running down my leg and it smelled fishy. and he told EVERYONE and he wont talk to me and people are saying that im grimy, a whore, unclassy, white trash, etc. and i dont know what to do, advice?

Question #4:

Do you need any cheering up?

Cause this made me laugh :)

When you occasionally have a really bad day, And you just need to take it out on someone, Don't take it out on someone you know, Take it out on someone you don't know, But you know deserves it.

I was sitting at my desk when I remembered A phone call I'd forgotten to make.

I found the number and dialed it.

A man answered, saying 'Hello..'

I politely said, 'This is Chris. Could I please speak with Robyn Carter?'

Suddenly a manic voice yelled out in my ear 'Get the right f***ing number!' And the phone was slammed down on me.

I couldn't believe that anyone could be so rude.

When I tracked down Robyn's correct number To call her, I found that I had accidentally transposed The last two digits.

After hanging up with her, I decided to call the 'wrong' number again.

When the same guy answered the phone, I yelled 'You're an asshole!' And hung up.

I wrote his number down With the word 'asshole' next to it, And put it in my desk drawer.

Every couple of weeks, When I was paying bills or had a really bad day, I'd call him up and yell, 'You're an asshole!'

It always cheered me up.

When Caller ID was introduced, I thought my therapeutic 'asshole' Calling would have to stop.

So, I called his number and said, 'Hi, this is John Smith from the telephone company. I'm calling to see if you're familiar with our Caller ID Program?'

He yelled 'NO!' And slammed down the phone.

I quickly called him back and said, 'That's because you're an asshole!' And hung up.

One day I was at the store, Getting ready to pull into a parking spot.

Some guy in a black BMW Cut me off and pulled into the spot I had patiently waited for.

I hit the horn and yelled That I'd been waiting for that spot, But the idiot ignored me.

I noticed a 'For Sale ' sign in his back window, So I wrote down his number.

A couple of days later, Right after calling the first asshole (I had his number on speed dial) I thought that I'd better call the BMW asshole, too.

I said, 'Is this the man with the black BMW for sale?'

He said, 'Yes, it is.'

I then asked, 'Can you tell me where I can see it?'

He said, 'Yes, I live at 34 Oaktree Blvd. , in Fairfax It's a yellow ranch style house And the car's parked right out in front.'

I asked, 'What's your name?'

He said, 'My name is Don Hansen.'

I asked, 'When's a good time to catch you, Don?'

He said, 'I'm home every evening after five.'

I said, 'Listen, Don, can I tell you something?'

He said, 'Yes?'

I said, 'Don, you're an asshole!'

Then I hung up, And added his number to my speed dial, too.

Now, when I had a problem, I had two assholes to call.

Then I came up with an idea...

I called asshole #1.

He said, 'Hello'

I said, 'You're an asshole!' (But I didn't hang up.)

He asked, 'Are you still there?'

I said, 'Yeah!'

He screamed, 'Stop calling me'

I said, 'Make me.'

He asked, 'Who are you?'

I said, 'My name is Don Hansen.'

He said, 'Yeah? Where do you live?'

I said, 'Asshole, I live at 34 oak tree Blvd., in Fairfax , A yellow ranch style home and I have a black Beamer parked in front.'

He said, 'I'm coming over right now, Don. And you had better start saying your prayers.'

I said, 'Yeah, like I'm really scared, asshole,' And hung up.

Then I called Asshole #2.

He said, 'Hello?'

I said, 'Hello, asshole,'

He yelled, 'If I ever find out who you are...'

I said, 'You'll what?'

He exclaimed, 'I'll kick your ass'

I answered, 'Well, asshole, here's your chance. I'm coming over right now.'

Then I hung up and immediately called the police, saying that I was on my way over to 34 oak tree Blvd, in Fairfax , to kill my gay lover.

Then I called Channel 7 News about the gang war going down in oak tree Blvd in Fairfax .

I quickly got into my car and headed over to Fairfax .

I got there just in time to watch two assholes beating the crap out of each other in front of six cop cars, an overhead news helicopter and surrounded by a news crew.

NOW I feel much better.

Anger management really does work.

Question #5:

Why does my boyfriend always stare at me during classes?

Okayy i know this is a dumb question but,whenever me and my boyfriend are in classes together and are a few desks away i catch him staring at me all dreamily..
What could he be thinking?
tell me what you think!

Question #6:

What is done for PT in the SF Q course?

I always see pictures of SFAS being almost pure PT, but whenever I see stuff about the Q course, it's just guys sitting at desks learning some foreign language, or guys in the woods being part of a role-playing exercise. Do they even do PT, or is it just assumed that the field exercises are so hard that PT is not necessary?

Question #7:

Gimp toolbox beneath taskbar Windows 7?

I'm new to GIMP and I use Windows 7. I was trying to render an image, and I moved the toolbox down a bit nd now its stuck under the taskbar on the desk top. I can see it when I am in GIMP.
I have tried undocking the Windows task bar. But On Windows 7, it does slide up when you try and drag it.
I have tried undocking the Windows task bar. But On Windows 7, it doesn't slide up when you try and drag it.
I've got it all back now, thanks!

Question #8:

Upgrading my Psych degree?

I graduated from University 3 years ago (I'm 26 now) with a general BA in Psych. I'm getting bored with my desk job, and regret not studying harder and getting an Honours Psych degree (an Honours degree is required in Canada to get into grad school). I'm considering changing my job to a part time one, so that I can go back to Uni and upgrade my degree. This would give me the option of going to grad school. Do you think I'm too out of touch to be able to handle the classes again? Should I jump back into taking advanced psych courses, or should I take some easy classes to reintroduce myself back into it.

Question #9:

I have a desk and a lap top computer. If I use the neighbors wireless for Lap top does that change my IP?

I have a Lap Top Computer and I have a Desk computer. I have AT&T internet. I have used my neighbors wireless internet, because I didn't know how to connect to my lap top. What I want to know how can I prevent a blog site from detecting my Lap top IP address(Protocol) Domain from my desk computer? Can this blog site detect my IP with the neighbors wireless? If I change wireless service does that change my IP address?

Question #12:

I can either work for the government or go into insurance, but I don't know what to choose. Which is best?

I have my license to sell insurance, however insurance is hectic and I need to market people from my neighborhood, friends, family and etc. the only thing is that I can also take accounting since, I am still taking courses. However, insurance makes a lot of money and I do like to talk to people, yet I do prefer to do desk work. When both choices are almost of equal value TO ME I can't decide. I am the type of person that doesn't have wants.

Question #13:

Is there someone I can report this to?

Well you know how sometimes you get fake emails that want your bank pin number to "put money into it" but they're going to steal money? Well, I got an email like that. Could you tell me if there is an email that I can report this to as scamming or something like that? Here's the email:

Question #14:

usual teen problem, anyone willing to help?

I have 2 classes with this guy, I've known him since my gr.9.
We aren't friends, more like acquaintances, we know each others name's but we don't talk that much..
It's only been the second day of school, but I'm noticing that he looks at me a lot whenever I'm around..whethe i walk past him in class/hallway or anywhere, if im with my friends..i always seem to see him looking at me.

Example: People were gathering at the door to get out of class, he was at his desk near the door talking to his friends, while i was just walking to the door with mine. I stopped where there was a crowd of people, and it just had to be in front of him with his friends around him. He was talking to his friends, while i was talking to mine. But just as i got in that area, i saw him looking at me while talking to his friends than back at them, than back at me...He kept looking at me so i just joined in whatever he was talking about so he could stop looking at me..I also bumped into him on the first day, and he said a quiet sorry, then saw who i was and was all : jooooooooannnnnnnnn longggggggggg. in a happy voice, i just laughed and kept walking..

any ideas why he keeps looking at me?

Question #15:

Does he like me? Is he just shy?Or is he annoyed?*guys & girls advice needed*?

I have been dating my boy friend for awhile and recently something happened in school that is kind of bothering me...I was in my ELA class with him and my friend was sitting in between us. Then me and my friend had to go to art and then go back to ela. When we were in ela we decided to switch seats so i could sit next to him. And when he came back and saw me in his seat he was like ._. then slid his stuff to the empty desk near his friend. (the desks are in rows) I told one of my friends and she said "ohhh dude you just broke rule number 63. Guys hate it when you try sit next to them" My other friend said "Maybe he was shocked?" and my sister said "hes probably nervous"
So what do you think?Is he nervous, does he not like me, was he shocked? Or did i "break rule 62"

And another thing that happened was that i gave him my number...and he hasn't called me...and its been a few weeks...I don't want to have to call him and ask him if he wants to go to the movies or something. It makes me feel pathetic.
How do i get him to ask me to go somewhere with him?

Question #16:

Help! I cant focus!!!!!!!!!!!!!?

Im homeschooled and i need to consentrate but its impossible for me the last two days! Every little noise distracts me! My desk is clean but my mind is very scatter brained! Im not hyper im not not focused and i need to focus! I need to finish school!! Help me!!
Im sorry my grammar and spelling sucks...

Question #17:

Years of hit after hit, has led me to be socially inept. What do I do?

It will be long, because there are a lot of things that I feel have contributed to the way I am now.

1) My mother was/is a recluse, and because of that, while I lived with her (till I was 14), she did not let me do anything but go to school (she drove me) and come home. I couldn't play baseball because she wouldn't take me, I couldn't go to friends houses because she wouldn't let me. There was never a reason to it, besides the fact that she was a recluse and wanted me to be the same way.
2) I remember, one day, one of the girls in my middle school class, put a "i like you not" in my desk. I didn't see it, and it was the day of the parent teacher conference. My mother found it in my desk, and made fun of me for it. She put it on the fridge, and made me feel like I did something wrong.

- I moved out of my moms house to stay with my father when I was 14.

3) My father immediately made it clear he didn't want me. Claiming, "I don't have the time to deal with you". He was more focused on himself (still is) than me. He is a wealthy man, and did nothing to "raise" me, but provide me with a room. In fact, he refused to take the time to buy me a bed, so for at least 2 years, I slept on the carpet floor. I had to walk to the high school on my own to register myself. I was 14. He did nothing but throw money at me and demand I wasn't home when he was. (He would constantly bring home dates).

At this point, because of the way my mother raised me, I was terrible in social situations. I had no practice. I had one friend in my freshmen year in high school, and the only thing I remember about him, relating to the only girl I had ever asked out in high school. It was because of my friend saying "just do it". I still remember her face, clearly thinking I was a joke. She said no. That was the year before I moved in with my father. I kept in contact with my friend for a little while over the internet. The thing I remember was, the girl I had asked out, asked him for his camera, and took naked pictures of herself and sent them to him. He got all the girls. I was clearly the weird friend. I was depressed, and almost killed myself.

Now at this new high school, (sophmore year), a few people befriended me, but then turned out to just do it as a joke. I made one friend over the entire next 3 years in that new high school, it was a girl. I some how, got her to go out with me. She was my first kiss. A day or so after that, she called me, and said "i am sorry" and long story short, one of those guys who "Befriended me", went up to the girl, asked her out, and did everything with her, just to make me look stupid and bad. He succeeded. She apologized to me, after realizing why the other guy did what he did. I immediately hung up and never talked to her again. I remember walking by her in the hall ways, and she would try to talk to me, and I couldn't look at her, or say a word. I even remember her crying because I wouldn't even talk to her. I met her my sophomore year in high school. I didn't talk to another person at that school in any context but something to do with class ever since. All I did was study, praying I could get away from those people, my father and mother.

I got into a out of state college, (Ohio state) with a full ride. My father didn't even come to my graduation. My mother wouldn't leave to make the 4 hour long drive. The only person who came was my brother.

At college, I kind of felt like I could start over, and it worked. I made a few friends and had one girl friend. For some reason, (Probably lack of social training), I screwed it up with the girl by saying something that pissed her off, and I ended up just drifting apart from the friends. I remember on several occasions they would jokingly tell me "we thought you died" because for months at a time, I wouldn't leave me room for anything but class and I ate nothing but chips in my room.

I transferred from Ohio state to go to USC (this time I had to pay), and didn't talk to a single person for the entire time I was there. I went 2 years without getting a single persons phone number. The only person I ever called was my brother. I gained around 70 pounds over that time, and did nothing but study and eat.

I took the last year off, and lost all the weight. I also made it into medical school, and that is were I am now. A few people here have kind of befriended me, but I already feel myself drifting apart.

I know, years of bad/neglectful parents and bad memories of every friend I ever made had led me to be really socially inept. I fear I am either going to just go back to being antisocial, or piss these people off to the point where I don't have a choice but to be antisocial.

How can I get over 22 years of terrible background.

Question #18:

Living room arrangement with a laptop for a TV?

My hubby and I don't own a TV and don't plan to buy one (yet). We've found that everything we want to watch is online (like hulu.com) or on a DVD. We usually sit at our desk to watch shows/movies since we just have a small apartment & no couch yet. It's not too comfy though to watch a movie sitting in desk chairs! We are moving to a house soon and will have a living room with couches. We'll use one of the bedrooms as an "office" and keep the desk & a laptop in there. In the living room we'll have couches and the other laptop, to use for watching shows. Here's the thing...my hubby does not like to use wireless internet because he is worried about radiation etc.. and he won't be convinced otherwise...so until he converts to wireless :) I have to put up with the internet cord & power cord for the laptop.
So...how can I design our living room so that we can sit back on a couch and watch shows on a laptop? Setting it on the coffee table it will kind of be far away, and there will be cords dragging along the floor. I thought of setting it on a little table next to the couch, hiding the cords behind the couch, and using a projector...but those are expensive :( Any ideas so that we can have a functional living room but also stylish without cords everywhere?

Question #19:

Don't you hate it when the teacher forgets your name .....?

LOL...today i was sitting in class talking then the teacher starts going "LINDA!"...."LINDA!"...ofcourse i wasn't responding cause my name isn't Linda . Whats funny was all my friends were giggling........but then he got really mad and came near my desk and was like "DO YOU HAVE HEARING PROBLEMS YOUNG LADY"...i was like "excuse me!" ....i got really mad!

Question #20:

What to do for work in Australia?

Ok so i live in in America now. i am hopefully going to go to Australia soon and if i really really like it i would consider moving there one day. i know about visa's and how you can only stay for certain amount of time with some exceptions. I am still unclear as to what i want to do when i get out of college, (still in high school) but some stuff that interests me is like learning about countries/cultures and cooking. and i am a little bit artistic, i gonna learn how to play guitar and i going to do a pottery and photography class. Like i don't want to be sitting behind a desk all day is really what im saying. So just to cut to the chase if you are from Australia what kind of work did/do you or your parents do? sorry if this is a little bit confusing. but overall Thank You!
