(to anon who asked “What do I do when my reindeer antlers fall off and land in a puddle?”)
Sadface then wash them off.
(to anon who asked “Need new album but have no money?”)
Honestly, I would say to get a pirated copy and buy it when you can afford it. I know, not advice I should be giving.
Other advice includes: rake leaves/wash cars/mow lawns/shovel snow for pocket money to buy it. If you really want something, you’ll figure out a way to get it.
(to anon who asked “I wanna tell my friends that I’m gay, but I don’t know how. Help?”)
Just say it? Friends tend to be pretty cool about that, honestly. You could go with the oh so slick trip to the mall and check out hotties in the foodcourt with your friends, or flipping through magazines and going “know who’s hot?” but I say just tell them bluntly. Your friends should be the people you feel safe telling things to, you know?
(to anon who asked “There’s this guy I really like and I managed to have the courage to ask him out over summer. He said he would tell me when college started. So on the first day I asked him and he said he wants to go out with me but can’t because he has no time to himself.
I don’t know what to do anymore because I seriously really like him. What do I do now?”)
Try to be friends. Don’t pressure him, but don’t let him forget you. Let him see that he can manage school and a significant other at the same time - most people do!
There’s a chance he just said that to try to be nice. But there’s also the chance he’s just worried about managing school. College is a big change, so let him figure out how to adapt.

What is the greatest pirate movie of them all?”)
Any pirate movie that has Johnny Depp. Okay, just the first Pirates of the Caribbean movie.
…although if you like cowboy space pirates, definitely Serenity. River Tam kicking dudes in the head is practically porn.
(to rollwiththepunches- who asked “i need some advise i guess.
umm..
this guy likes me but i don’t like him and he thinks i do but i dont.
and i don’t know what to do.
can you help?”)
Let him down easy if you can. Write a note saying that you’re sorry but it just won’t work. Be polite but be clear that you are indeed saying no, you’re not interested. Trying to be tactful and give reasons other than not being interested will backfire.
(to baileyblastoff who asked “Mikey, Mikey on the wall, what is the best iPhone app of them all?”)
…just one? That’s tough. Gotta go with Evernote - it’s like magic! A commonplace notebook that’s easy to search and tracks inconsistent changes, has essentially infinite space and every medium imaginable, and can be used online, as a desktop program, or on the iPhone. Welcome to everything a person could ever want from a notebook.
And in second place, well, all good comicbook junkies need Comiczeal - worth buying so you can read your scans on the phone. Runners-up include: Hedgehog Launch, Bees vs. Bear, Naughty Bear, Twittie, Tap Tap Revenge 4, Westbang, Tesla Wars, Jumping Dog, Sir Lovalot, and GetGlue.
(to anon who asked “I want to ask out the guy I like but I’m so nervous, what should I do? o_O”)
Try not to be nervous. Do a mental run-through of how you’d ask him out. Stop and take deep breaths every time you start panicking. Then do it again and again, until you can visualize asking him out without your heart beating so fast it feels like it might explode. Then go for it.
No, seriously. The nerves will come back when you do it, but this does help.
