Needed:Valentine's Day gift(s) for my fiance!I'm thinking of making him a giant card out of a large piece of tagboard and making him a mixed CD of songs that remind me of him.But I'd also like to get him a little something more. Any cute ideas?

Hmmm...The community's seeming a little dead. Maybe it's just because everyone's busy with Christmas and everything going on (or at least I hope that's why), but I guess whenever someone gets back they can reply.This isn't so much advice-based, but it takes others' input, so why not?I love my boyfriend. Seriously. He's the sweetest guy I've ever known, or probably ever will know, and every so often I make him a mixed CD just for the heck of it. Well, I'd like to make another one, but I'd like this one of have an "I Love You" theme. He likes: Punk, Pop-Punk, Hard Rock, Just rock in general....and Kelly Clarkson. lolSo, any suggestions of songs?Thanks everyone!♥,Kristine

I'm so incredibly stressed out lately, it's rediculous.It's like my mind is going in a million different directions at once, 24 hours a day! I wake up at 5am every morning, take a shower, drive to school (and of course spend the day there, which everyone understands is busy enough so I won't go into detail with that) then after school I usually have a band or choir lesson of some sort. I have about a half hour break after that (which I usually spend doing whatever homework I can)and then I go to play practice, which usually runs from 4-10pm. After that, I go home and do the rest of my homework (which is never over before 1am) and then I go to bed, only to not be able to fall asleep because I'm so freaking stressed out and my mind won't quit running in a million directions! So I fall asleep around 3 or 4 if I'm lucky, only to wake up at 5 again to repeat it the next day.On top of all of that, I have a job that I'm having major problems with because they refuse to let me work more than 4 hours each Sunday (and when I started, I was promised at least 12 hours each pay period) so I haven't got enough money to even keep gas in my car to get to and from school each day (I have a 20 minute drive one-way) so I'm in the process of trying to find a new job.And the icing on the cake is that I get to see my boyfriend maybe once a week, if I'm lucky. He's helping out a farmer working in his fields so his time is stretched to the max (working about 20 hours a day, 5 days a week) and it just makes everything seem so much worse when you throw that into the mix.So...basically what I'm asking is: What do you guys do to just wind down when you're so stressed you could choke even your best friend?

Good at giving advice?	[Nov. 2nd, 2005\|09:35 pm]Shwing!
If anyone is interested in being available to be contacted by individuals for one-on-one conversations with people looking for advice should fill out the application below and put it in a comment to this post.[Please only apply if you are truly interested in giving advice one-on-one and are online fairly often. This is not meant to be an opportunity to expand your buddy lists.]( The Application Collapse )I think to begin with we'll accept 5 people for this, and maybe add more as the community grows. Don't feel bad if you're not accepted, because there's a chance you will be at a later time once the community gets a bit bigger!
