Relationships & Family > Parents On living at home with your parents: 1 of 16
Truthfully, I'm afraid for my future. In fact, I'm afraid for my peers as well. Being an adult was not supposed to be this hard, right? Apparently I was wrong. I was not informed that at the age of twenty two, I would still be living with my parents, working a dead end job and struggling to get through college with no guarant... More..

Noel Gallagher once claimed that Oasis was going to be bigger than the Beatles. While that statement may not have exactly come true, Oasis are one of the biggest bands in the world.

Entertainment > Music Genres, Trends & Scenes Punk: Why the scene should be destroyed: 11 of 22
Three chords, a snotty chorus, and true feelings about the government? Now you've got yourself a punk song. Or even better, a punk show. Punk used to be an amazing movement meant for people that not only enjoyed the music but also believed in the message it was sending. It was a nice detour from disco and easy rock, and wasn'...

Society & Lifestyle > Subcultures How to be emo: 33 of 54
Six ways to becoming "emotional".Step one: Grow your hair long. By long I don't mean heavy metal long. I mean over the eyes, usually just one eye and adapt a side swept look. Step two: Begin writing depressing songs on your guitar (if you don't have a guitar please go buy one immediately or you WILL NOT be emo). Make sure to ... More..
Entertainment > Musicians & Bands Band reviews: Air: 5 of 8
Very few bands are able to establish themselves as the soundtrack to our lives. Air is one of those bands. Made up of two french men, JB Dunckel and Nicolas Godin, the twosome has managed to create surreal, thought provoking synth pop for the last decade. Air created a new genre in music in the mid nineties when they came out... More..
Style & Beauty > Clothing Sizes & Fit A plus-sized girl's guide to flattering fashion looks: 14 of 22
Just because you are bigger than a size ten doesn't make you fat. Remember that while shopping because if you don't keep that in mind, you will NEVER find cute clothes. Lane Bryant is great but tends to still be on the "momish" side as is Avenue. Personally, I don't want a pant suit set and twinsees! I want stylish clothing t... More..

Entertainment > Celebrity Commentary The rise and fall of Britney Spears: 42 of 47
Here's the story of a girl that should have been more suited as a twelfth place hack on American Idol. Too bad American Idol didn't exist back then. Instead, Britney Spears became every ten year old girls idol. Her career blew up at the age of sixteen to proportions the Spice Girls had only dreamed of. Everyone knows Britney ... More..
Religion & Spirituality > Ghosts & Paranormal Phenomena Do Ouija boards really work?: 59 of 63
My mother believed that ouija boards were black magic, dealings of the occult and other "evil" spirits. She was always a firm believer in the afterlife, in heaven and hell and of course in her own sixth sense when dealing with a misguided spirit. She believed that a ouija board simply opened the wrong doors and none of them b... More..
