Audition song suggestions needed!!!! Musical theatre!!!?
I have a few auditions coming up, for youth musical theatre groups and I am desperately in need of song advice!!! I'm trying to come up with a repertoire of at least 5 songs I can learn and adapt to my audition needs, so a variety of ballad/upbeat songs suggestions are welcome. I am a soprano, but mezzo songs are also welcome as I have a mediocre belt, and it would be good to show diversity! I would prefer to stay away from Phantom/Les Mis/Wicked, as much as I love them (I really do, they're my favourite shows!) they are much too over-used in auditions, and I'd prefer songs I can out my own spin on, rather than being influenced by the THOUSANDS of performers I have seen do them... :L I am a teenage girl btw, so only female songs please, and when I say soprano I mean musical theatre/light classical only! I can't sing opera, so those suggestions are useless... I prefer ballads but do need some upbeat songs as well :) Please help!!! *QUESTION* There's this one song I've found that would be perfect for me to audition with, but it is part of an unreleased musical and has only been performed in a concert of the songwriter exhibiting his work...is it legal for me to use it?!?! Thank you xxx

I need some relationship advice?
I need help please!!I’m 19, my husband and I have been together for 1 year and 3 months, and been married for 6 months. I have made a mistake. I am absolutely miserable. He’s cheated on me in the relationship, and after forgiving him multiple times, he broke my trust in the marriage multiple times and done things he agreed and promised not to. We don’t see eye to eye on anything! We are complete opposites and it drives us crazy. Every day I feel like I’m screaming pulling my hair out because we are never on the same page. I truly believe I hate him.My problem is, I can’t get a divorce. I have a part time job and the cost of living is extremely high where I live and so I don’t have the means to independently support myself. Being 19 and married I also feel like EVERYONE told me not to do it, and it was a mistake (mostly my family). So if I go back to my family they’ll be like “I told you so” and I can’t face that. My entire family is extremely judgemental and I cannot let them know they were right with their judgements.Is my pride worth being miserable??
Do we really need life advice?
Most people are looking for a Life User Manual containing instructions for avoiding failure. Religion is happy to supply such a book. The problem is, religious manuals don't work. Look at the Middle East. Big business told people the path to success was college and career. That worked for awhile, until rich people became greedy and ruined it. Most people want to be told what to do. Their search for a better user manual continues.
Masturbation ideas? Im really horny?
First off, don't let the haters get to you. They're still stuck in the Victorian era, where a 'good' woman only had orgasms when her doctor was treating her for 'hysteria'... (Look it up. This is 100% true and why vibrators were invented, so doctors didn't have to wear their hands out treating women.) Second, you can buy a sex toy, but it requires a bit of subterfuge. You get a prepaid credit card from Wall-Mart or wherever, and use that to buy the toy. The trick is making sure you're the one receiving and opening the package when it arrives... As far as non-sex-toy sex toys, there are quite a few options although few work as well as dedicated sex toys. Brush handles, electric toothbrushes, fruits and veggies (make sure to wash these first), and detachable shower heads are all commonly used. You can also put a cell-phone with a 'vibrate' option; set it on vibrate, seal it in a plastic bag, put it where it will do the most good... and call it over and over again. Since I cook a lot, I got the 'as seen on TV' sauce stirring thing. What they don't tell you is how much that thing vibrates and buzzes as it works. I imagine one of those would do the trick as well... but fair warning, it makes a LOT of noise...
Do we really need to have a mentor in our life?
Yes, I think having a mentor is important. If you are a teenager, then you for sure need someone other than your parents to guide and direct and love you. You will alos be more apt to listen to someone other than your parents. It’s important to have a mentor in your life as they have ‘gone where you will go’, they will have perspective. Their sight is 20/20 as it’s hind sight and can share with you what you need to know and not know. Also, let me add, I think it’s important you mentor someone younger than you. It may not in years younger but if you have kids that are 12–16 then you should mentor someone with younger kids as you have been there. If you are in jr high, you should loook for some kids that are teachable to mentor in elementary school- EVERYONE can help someone! A side note: if you are looking for a mentor, be sure you are teachable and want to grow and learn, or your perspective will be ‘damaged’ and you will only think your mentor is out to get you or a know it all. Find someone who has been down the path you are on, and that you respect. The quality of your friends (and Mentors) will determine the quality and direction of your life. Pick your mentor with wisdom and then in turn, give back and mentor someone you think has potential. :)
Do we really need to discuss our problems with friends or does it not matter to them? Why is it so hard to give advice to yourself?
It's very much an individuals choice as to whether you wanna share your problems with your friends; there has to be a balance between “offloading” problems and “sharing lives” for one.You identify the benefits of “sharing problems” in your phrasing of the question “why is it so hard to give advice to yourself?” - friends are people who care about us (they might not care about every single problem we have) but FOR THE BIG STUFF - A good friend will listen and naturally want to help.Sometimes when we are talking about our problems - it can help us devise a solution.I struggle to reason with myself at times..I feel like I am missing some 'obvious point' in my logic and I believe that is because it is difficult to be objective of ourselves and our situations ..from ALL VIEWPOINTS.there are SO MANY ways of seeing things …that one person can only ever be capable of perceiving… for “we” are not omnipotent beings.Our perceptions are very much trapped by our subjective awareness.. so when we are depressed we often cannot see “the wood for the trees” when to others it may seem obvious.I've spent the best part of a year now, trying to sort some of my “problems” out and having people to communicate with on Quora has helped massively because there are so many viewpoints that I hadn't personally considered.I didn't even have words for some of the problems that I have….until I started talking about it.
