Alright ladies and gents. I know each and every one of you is fed up with this photograph thing. You know the one. Where your images won't load and stuff. . I've been experimenting with ways to see the already posted pictures. So far things are okay. I'll continue working on it and doing what I can from my status [hopefully my rank will be raised soon.]

Other than that, I can only say hang on a bit longer. The only logical things I can think of is 1) the server is getting too full, or 2) there is a wicked malfunction. I'll be working on it. Promise. Have faith all.

Have a good day! <333

Hey everyone, I need to let you in on a few things.

First off, seeing as I am a member of the outsmack site, I'm very sorry that your pictures are NOT working! It's VERY frustrating I know, but I'm talkin' to the head honchos and trying to fix it!

Secondly, to everyone who's questions were only recently answered/never answered I'm so so sorry! There has been a major technical spasm in the system, as it's been showing now in your pictures. Finally I've realized that it hasn't been that no one's been writing in, it's that I haven't been looking in the right spots.

But reassurance! I'm back! I'll be checking every night and hopefully everything will be published by the next day, so please feel free to write in!

Also, within the next week or so, I'll be relieved of all extra weight and I won't have anything blocking my schedule, aside from normal "Ask Alice!" things ~giggles~ This weekend I will be out of town, but I shall be bringing my computer with me. Feel free to ask for advice, I'll be ready and willing to answer your questions.

Hang in there guys! Love you all very very much! You're all my hero in some way.

hey, i fell in love w/ my best friend a bout a year a go, and it pains me daily. I for some stupid reason told her how i felt las summer..yeah i got entirely shot down and i know she cares but she just a said "well i love u too"...in like a sisterly love kinda way by her tone and i specified...idk. its just hard to live w/ because, well i live w/ her family. so its difficult for me to move on and im just not sure how to. and i mean is kinda good it hasn't effected out friendship, considering i think she totally blocked it out and doesn't remember what so ever.idk. its just hard for me to move on. and i want to be in a relationship, but i'm scared that i wont be fair to someone f they have feelings for me...what if i don't for them because im still stuck on her.I've tried everything but i just don't know what to do. oh and my other best friend is in love w/ me, and its just really complicated. anyway i just feel like i'm caught up in this web of confusion and feelings and i just don't know what to do anymore, and being an insomniac, this really doesn't help. and because of all this +my living arrangements i feel like i cant be open about my sexuality, and keeping it in is killing me.please help me if u can?

Well first off, I'd like to applaud you on your maturity with the situation. I can't say that I know what you're going through, but I do understand that it is a very hard thing to deal with. It's very smart of you to not get into a relationship with someone while you still have feelings for someone else. I know it hurts to be shot down, and I can't imagine how awkward it must be for you, but you have to let it go. Loving someone is hard, especially if they don't love you back in the way you want.

I recommend finding something to get your mind off of this girl. Something PRODUCTIVE, mind you. It's going to be hard, I will promise you that. But it'll be better in the long run. As for your best friend having feelings for you, that is in fact a pickle. You're going to need to tell them the truth. As much as it hurt you, and as much as it's going to hurt them, if it wasn't meant to be, it's not meant to be. I know you're caught up now, but it will get better. Everything will even out and resolve itself.

I know it's cliche advice, but it's the truth. And even though you feel constricted by your living arrangements, you need to be true to yourself. I don't mean flaunt it all of the time, because that might not be best. But you can't keep it inside. And with the "power" of the internet, you can find someone to confide in. Even if it's just me.

Hope this helps a little bit, and good luck. Come back if you need more advice.

-Alice

It's April 26th.

What did you do to end the silence?

I was held in the office for three hours, and I had a sit in started for me. How intense is that?
I gave three wicked speeches, and I know next year will only be better.

I hope everyone's Day of Silence was filled with voices you couldn't hear, and it went FABULOUS.

It's gonna rock next year, guys. Promise. And even though it seems hard...It'll all get better. Maybe not easier.

But better for sure.

And remember. Your voice DOES count. One person can make the difference. You are important. <333
