It can be hard at times, but for some girls it is no problem to be Friends with an ex.

The key is in how the relationship has ended. It's important that there is no anger and no one has cheated. If this is true for toi then it is plus than possible that with a little time toi two can go back to being friends.

Friends and just friends. toi must be clear about what toi want. Sometimes when we pretend to want to be Friends with our ex, we are really looking to get back together. Sometimes this is what toi want and it works, but if it goes wrong then things will be even worse.

Give him space. If after some time apart toi still want to continue to spend time together without wanting to be a couple, then toi are ready to be Friends again!

As I giggled in my sleep, a tight squeeze suddenly brought my attention. As I woke up and looked around, I realized I was being trapped par a large python- a 20 ft long sucker at that!

I had no idea how this snake found me nor did I wanted to know why he caught me. The large seprent suddenly squeezed me tighter and tighter until my face turned dark purple. I was suffocating to my death. It would've been the end of the world for me. Luckly, the...

This is a funny story I came up with just now, so I hope toi all enjoy it. ^_^

"My most aléatoire adventure ever began on a distant island far, far away from anywhere. The island was silent, no one appeared to live on the island. It was all quite until a loud stomp was heard from a distance. As I pulled my face up from the beachy sand, I began shaking with fear, not even wanting to know who ou what made that noise.

With a light of speed, I raced my way out from the plage and into the dense jungle. I was hoping to find help, but couldn't find anyone. Just then however, someone grabbed me very quickly...

Katy Perry is a bit spaced out! Why? Because she keeps forgetting important facts, like that Russell Brand is her husband!

She's been married for a couple months now, but still can’t get used to calling him her husband.

“I forget to call him ‘my husband’ sometimes and still say ‘my boyfriend’. But I’ll get there,” she said.

This can happen to anyone we suppose, it takes a while to get used to the idea of being a wife.

5 plus incredibly aléatoire stuff...I'd like to note that not everything listed is exactly possible, but each is genuinely unique and aléatoire in it's own way....

5) wear a nametag that reads "hello. My name is Jésus Christ" (or famous person) when some one says "you're not Jesus" turn around and say "Jesus? Where?"
4) befriend a zombie (don't try unless you're okay with being bitten)
3) give out autographs to complete strangers and pretend you're famous
2) divide par zero (it's a little harder than it looks)
1) walk up behind someone and whisper in their ear "I like mudkips...."

Lots of laughs...I recommend 3, 2 and 1
Ever met that one person who really really aggervates toi , like constantly talking ou doing everything toi do , well im gonna help toi deal with them without punching them in the face (kris style <3)

1) always carry a stress ball , those things do work , and if not , toi can always throw it at him/her

2) Carry a oreiller in toi purse/bag , so if toi need to scream , scream in the oreiller , this pervents people from thinking your crazy

3) Earphones , toi COULD use them to block that person out , but studies montrer that if that person happens to avaler, hirondelle one of the earphones , they wont talk anymore ,

4)Just a hint ; throwing chairs never helps ,

5)Try to be their friend , mabey that'll work

6) if its your sibbling ,

Girl:flush her fav Barbie doll
Boy:Flush his favorate comic book
mixed gender: Flush their face (:

Again; Kris style <3
