Returning to Maplestory So after a couple of months of not playing regularly (besides checking in for hot times), I wanted to start playing Maplestory again since RED came But after a week of playing, I noticed no guilds or friends make it really boring... So I'm looking for a pretty populated guild with people who like to talk, boss, train, etc. Also for some friends as well who are around my level or up (I'm level 163) ALSO, does anyone want to get married? :) :P - Austin

Earring Infection Help I noticed that my ear was pretty swollen probably from an infection, & so far I've done these steps... 1. Take out my earring 2. Wipe away the blood & puss 3. Used the anti-infectant liquid thing they give you & dabbed it with cotton on my ears & soaked my earring with it 4. Applied antibiotic cream onto my ear Have I done anything wrong or am I doing it right? Is there anything else I should do? Will the hole close up? Please help with responses, thank you

I Want to Be a Manga/Anime Artist So after not touching art since 7th grade, I've decided I wanted to get back into art again. So far I've done only 3 drawings in the past month (not freehand) But I want to actually learn how to draw clothing, faces, eyes, shading, etc. without having to look at another image. Any artists out there recommend any good tutorial books I can buy to learn? Thanks :) [url=http://askcansin.deviantart.com/art/Kurumi-Tokisaki-Drawing-406237031]One of My Non-Free Hand Drawings I Did Recently[/url] [b]EDIT:[/b] I don't actually want to become a legitimate artist, I just want to learn how to draw in a similar art style. Sorry I didn't clarify earlier to all who are commenting

Help Giving Advice to a Friend So my friend asked me for some advice about parents which I am for a big part, very oblivious about since I don't associate a lot with my family & therefore have little trouble dealing with them. My friend told me that once she got home, her mother was really angry & sobbing at her, saying things like how she is so disappointed with her, how she sucks at school, how she won't make it into a university, etc. Now my friend is crying because of it & I don't know much to comfort her. My friend comes to me for help on problems, but I'm a complete noob when it comes to dealing with parents. What should I tell her?
