[ Dream Interpretation ] Open Question : What does my bizarre dream mean??

Posted: 12 Sep 2011 09:18 PM PDT

So it started off like this I was with my friend and we were hanging out (At my old school) and all of a sudden a line of students appeared. So we got in line and we talked for awhile. I saw my other friends and i went with them while my fourth friend was all by herself in line. So for some weird reason me and my two friends drove to New York (Or some type of big city that was far away from my home). It was 10:00 PM i saw on the clock. I asked "Where are we?" they didn't answer. I am guessing it was New York cause it sure looked like it. So all of a sudden we got in a car crash. I survived, my second friend survived, except my third friend. She looked like she was dead, her eyes were closed. My second friend yelled "OMG SHES DEAD!". I got out of the car shocked BUT my second friend and my third friend were laughing because i thought my third friend was dead. Apparently they lied to me and made me look like a fool for thinking my third friend was dead. I was mad, but the other bad thing was that my leg was broken from the crash. I passed out. All of a sudden, i woke up in the hospital and the doctors were treating my broken leg in weird ways. For some reason when i was in the hospital i felt a Deja Vu presence like i've done this and been there before. So after they treated my leg i went home. And i woke up after that. I can't remember the rest because this was like 2 hours ago but it sure was a weird dream.

[ Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, and Transgendered ] Open Question : I can't be queer, am I? I'm so confused?

Posted: 12 Sep 2011 09:18 PM PDT

I've found myself fancying girls in the last little while, getting turned on by girl-on-girl fantasies, and looking at women's bodies... I'm becoming scared, and confused because I also look at men too and find them cute. The turning point that makes me thing I'm lesbian is the fact that I find I don't like the look/shape/idea of a penis, and find vagina's much more...I don't know. I'm 13, and I know this is a young age to decide this but I'm a lot more mature and I've been confused like this for a while...just seeking some advice. I currently think I'm crushing on my best-friend (who is a girl), and some of the girls I know, which scares me half to death because I'll fantasize about getting intimate with them...and they seem to be..advert to queer people. I'm scared, I'm confused, and I feel lost in myself. Help please. Ps, I have my eye on a guy right now and I still fancy him...though these feelings are putting me off?

[ Friends ] Open Question : Did I make a real bad mistake?

Posted: 12 Sep 2011 09:17 PM PDT

I'm a kind of a kid who hates making friends. When people get near me and start acting friendly to me, I scare them verbally (not by swearing or cussing, but just giving them looks and telling them that they're annoying). Unfortunately, I love music and I'm in most of my school's music program. Marching band required me to be a little bit more nice to other members so we could have that "One band, one sound" thing. Anyways, in marching band I met a girl. Long story short: I became friends with her. Now we tell everything to each other: we've both told our entire life stories, we tell each other our ideas, thoughts, feelings about everything. And then I realized I kind of got too close to her. Despite the fact that I actually made a friend, I was only hoping it'd be until marching band ends. We were friends even after marching band ended, and I was actually getting along with this "friend" thing. But as we got closer, it came to me that she might like me, I feared that I might hurt her (due to my lack of experience as a bf or even friends). Sure, being her friend is pretty nice and I could even consider being her boy friend, but since I wasn't used to all that friends and bf stuffs I kind of chickened out because I might hurt her, and made her go away. Despite my numerous attampts, she held on tight on me; even though she knew what I was doing (I've literally told her that I don't want to be her friend anymore). So I just took out a real sharp dagger and sliced that friendship, Though I was only trying to save her from her future pains, I think I actually hurt her even more. Was I wrong to end our friendship? it's been about 4 months (the summer break helped) but I'm still worried if she is still hurting. If you think I shouldn't have done that, how do I make this up?

[ Diet & Fitness ] Open Question : Why have I gained weight?

Posted: 12 Sep 2011 09:17 PM PDT

Hi all, I have always exercised and 'tried' to eat right (I try to have good main meals but I also eat junky type snacks) and just in this last week I have really put my mind to it and actively tried to eat very healthily and amped up the exercise. So basically I started one week ago with this diet. I go running/walking every day for an hour. Doing interval training as well as running up very steep hills in my neighborhood. The rest of the day my exercise is very minimal and I am seated for a majority of the time. I no longer snack an if I do it is on a few rice crackers or fruit like peaches or a banana. For breakfast I have a smoothy made from strawberry,banana and skim milk however I am often in a rush and if I don't have time to make it I will have a popper type drink made from flavored soy milk (200cal). For lunch I have a salad sandwich made with wholemeal bread, light olive oil spread instead of margarine, one slice of cheese and salads like lettuce/tomato/beetroot/cucumber. I have no dressings or mayonnaise with this. At dinner I have been having just salad with maybe some grilled or BBQ chicken though only about half a breast worth. Tonight I am planning to mix up up a bit and instead have an omlette made with vegetables and egg white. I usually have one after dinner mint at night because it stops me from feeling like snacking. I never feel starved during the day from this diet although I sometimes get a little bit hungry before my meals. I weighed myself yesterday at day 6 and I was down 1.4kg (about 3 pounds) from my starting weight. However, I did what dieters are not supposed to do and weighed myself again today and I am 0.2kg (1/2 pound) heavier than my STARTING weight. So all this work an I have only gained. Is this normal? What am I doing wring with all this? I know it is ideal to eat six small meals a day but I find when I do this I am more inclined to snack on rubbish so I try to do the 3 meals. What should I do?

[ Small Business ] Open Question : What do I need to include in a receipt (Australia)?

Posted: 12 Sep 2011 09:17 PM PDT

I'm starting up a small business and I am currently typing up my forms. I just want to make sure that I include everything on my receipts. I will only be accepting cash payments on the day (possibly direct money transfers) - so I wont have to worry about credit cards, invoices etc (I don't think!) I have a vague understanding of what I think I need to include from my day job, but I just want to make sure I include EVERYTHING. So far, this is what I have: Business name, date of service, short description of services rendered (eg 2 hours event photography services, 1 hour portrait photography), a space for any other additional information and total cost. I'm also printing up a Booking Confirmation - this has all the details of the session - event name (eg Sam's birthday) date, time, address/venue/location, main contact details of the client, details of deposit paid and/or amount owing, space for extra details and terms and conditions. Do I need to include all of that information on the receipt? And does/can the "booking confirmation" double as the contract? If yes, do I need to call it something else or will Booking Confirmation be enough? Do I need to give clients anything else, or will this be enough?
