(f) It's not justifiable at all. Whether or not she liked it, life is growing inside her. What she should do is give birth to the child, and if she doesn't want to keep it, then she should give it up for adoption, that way, the child will live and a precious life is not lost.

Perfect excuse for what?

There's nothing more that I can say, herme. You've got the situation under control. It's good-your decision to wait. Give her a week or two to send you an e-mail or give you a call. Then, send her an e-mail or call her to know how she's doing. Always give a girl time, because it's almost always what they want, time and space. I think it's going to turn out fine with you and your friend. It doesn't matter if she doesn't talk to you when she's with her friends, what matters is that she talks to you. It may be that she doesn't talk to you when she's with her friends because she does not know how to connect their conversation with you...maybe they have a different line of thinking and they talk about things that you don't usually do. It happens to me all the time since I have two sets of friends. One set for eating lunch with and for hanging out with in the classroom. The other is a set of friends for going home with. My friends in the classroom talk about boys and all the girly stuff, or the most profane things. And my going home with friends talk about serious things or the silliest things that my classroom friends don't get. Maybe its like that with her. You did say that you are considered to be a weirdo in your school, so naturally, your ideas and her friends' don't jive. I'm not sure, but that's how I see it.

I have a question, herme. Don't take it seriously, though. I'm curious, does she seriously think you're not a guy? Or are you acting sort of gayish around her? If she forgets you're being a guy, then that must be a sign that she is your friend, and that she thinks your different from all the other guys out there. My guy friend thinks I'm a lesbian...but he's not the guy who I'm planning to send the letter to, he's my new friend, I met him when I was still a freshman, but we were never friends then, until sophomore year began. He thought I was a lesbian...and he told me that weeks after graduation...myabe because sabbath and I are different from all the other girls out there. We're sort of boyish...but we don't dress like guys, we just act boyish, play pc games, don't dance or sing, doesn't care about our appearance-we have the messiest hair...so anyway...that's that. I think she considers you a friend...I mean the way she can talk to you about her love life...not all girls talk about their love life to just anyone, especially a guy...and since she told you that...then you really are her friend...or so I think. I don't know, it's hard to say. I do hope your letter turns out okay. And I do hope she'll like it and reply to you. My warmest good luck!

I think giving her a call is less creepy/awkard. That way, you'd be able to talk with her, hear her voice and hear the tone of her voice, whether she's creeped out or not, and you can ask her if she's okay with you calling her just to say how important she is. Hmm...through a letter, you can write all that you want and all that you think she needs to know, but you will never know her reaction unless you see each other and have a chat, or she mails back at you. It would seem awkward if you see each other in school. Or maybe it won't. It's so hard to explain. Maybe it won't be creepy/awkward. I mean, sending a letter to her is similar to sending a mobile message. So I guess it will be okay. I don't know. I've never tried that-sending a letter to someone. But I'm planning to. My oldest friend's birthday is coming up and I'm planning to send him a letter. We're not in the same island anymore and I'd like to keep our friendship, almost like your situation, herme. But I don't know what to write. And I think he'd be creeped out if I will send him the letter. I'm hoping he'll find it sweet and awfully nice of me to do so...and won't get creeped out. I asked for his address a few days ago, so I'm hoping he's got an idea why I asked for his address. You'll know her reaction anyway, so you don't have to know why we think it's creepy. Maybe she'll find it sweet, as what I told you the first time you told us about the letter.

The pleasure is mine. How did you do in your test?

Inappropriate? But why? Hmm...to come and think of it...it's actually weird. I mean it'd feel really akward if after she reads your letter you accidentally see each other in school. Wow. Really akward.

Thank you, again, for all the replies! No more questions from me about this anymore. I think I understand what you all mean. Thanks again!

Why don't you ask the professor for some ideas? I'm sure he's got a good one stashed in his brain. But it won't be original anymore.

I'd like to give it a try-to guess your personalities and stuff. But I suck at guessing people's personality through avatars and names. It's a completely different story when I see the person, though. So that's that. I'll leave the guessing to you.

LOL! What is a friendly letter, cloud? Isn't that a letter, too? And what do you write in that letter, huh? About your friendship, how thankful you are, how special your relationship is, you want to end or keep it, etc. There is nothing creepy about it whatsoever. How can you say it's creepy? It's sweet. And I'm not joking. Maybe corny, but not creepy.

So you're all saying that we will evolve if our environment changes...a very big change at that. But how do we evolve? Will we grow fur if our environment suddenly becomes colder (IceAge)? Grow fur, grow gills...something like that...mutate?

Hmm...you're actually right. I am that person. But not entirely that kind. I still have a personality I myself don't understand. Or maybe I'm jsut pretending I don't. I'm such a pretender.

Then I guess that's that. No hope of you meeting her at all. I feel so sad for you...you're so darn depressed! And you are so negative! What are you, a depressed hippie?

Two thumps up! It's an awesome idea! Great work! It would seem sweeter that way.

I found this in wikipedia. It's easy to understand. Electrolysis is a method of separating bonded elements and compounds by passing an electric current through them. An ionic compound is dissolved with an appropriate solvent, or otherwise melted by heat, so that its ions are available in the liquid. An electrical current is applied between a pair of inert electrodes immersed in the liquid. The negatively charged electrode is called the cathode, and the positively charged one the anode. Each electrode attracts ions which are of the opposite charge. Therefore, positively charged ions (called cations) move towards the cathode, while negatively charged ions (termed anions) move toward the anode. The energy required to separate the ions, and cause them to gather at the respective electrodes, is provided by an electrical power supply. At the probes, electrons are absorbed or released by the ions, forming a collection of the desired element or compound. Good luck with your test!

Thanks for all the replies! When do you think that will happen-the next stage?

Fine. I'm not a hard one to crack, by the way. I'm an average lazy brat. A moody split personality, crazy brat. That's me. A brat.

It's pretty much the same. Whichever way I go, I'll still have a hard time. So whatever. I will have to study real hard. It's about time I get my brain working anyways.

Oh. Now I get it. Thanks!

Haha. I guess it's difficult then. What have I gotten myself into? Oh well...that's just the way it is, huh?

silkworm, can you explain? I'm kind of low on the understanding part. What do you mean?

Does anyone have the time to guess mine? Give it a shot.
