Is there a way to remove these without acetone or magic erasers?  I've tried both but the pen marks are still there.

I want to look into a better laptop.  I'm going off to college soon and I'd like to get a better one than what I have now (2006 Dell Inspiron 1525).  I would like it if it could handle games well too.  I know, going to college, shouldn't be thinking about that, won't have time, whatever.  But I do plan on making time for games to, at the very least, relieve some stress.  The only games I would actually want to play on there would be Team Fortress 2, Sims 2 and Sims 3.

I've heard that Dell isn't really the best.  If that's true, then what is?

...Columbian Bow Tie.  All variants, but mainly 1, 3, 4, and 5 as seen here:http://mylittlewiki.org/wiki/G1_Bow_TieAlso, still looking for G2s and other early, common G1s in as close to minty condition as possible, and G3 Abra-ca-dabra.Thanks for any help! 

Much as I would love any of those ponies still, I just found out that I'm lacking in my funds a bit more than I thought.  Sorry, please ignore this post.
 

What's the best way to put neck plugs back into G4 heads?  I've done it before but never without stabbing myself in some way.  What method do you use?  Do you boil it or cut at the squared edges to make it more round?  Or are you guys just strong enough to use your hands and not hurt yourselves? o_O

1.  I have a gym membership at Planet Fitness but I have to force myself to use it.  I hate going to the gym.  It's not the workout that bugs me, it's just being there with other people.  I have a problem where I think that anyone looking my way is thinking negatively about me, for my appearance, expression, method, etc.  And people do look around when bored or resting.  Can anyone give me some advice?  Or, maybe, could someone recommend some good strength workouts I can do at home?

2.  I've been using my AOL account since elementary/middle school and I'm starting to think about getting a new account, one that would look more professional than "stormcloud94."  My questions are, should I stay with AOL or go to Yahoo or something like that?  I've never had a problem with AOL (I just have the free email; I'm not paying for anything), but some judge you based on the domain.  Also, should I keep my current one for small matters and create a second one for the professional ones, or just get one new one to be used for everything?

Thanks so much for any advice!

Our new phone has an automated voice that tells the name of the caller, but it annoyed us so I was trying to turn it off.  After clicking around in the phone's settings, I went looking for a cell phone to call the house phone with.  Mom's purse was on the floor, next to the table.  I leaned over, found the phone, and as I was standing up, I hit my head (hard) on the corner of the table.  (The corner is rounded, thankfully; it could've been a lot worse had it been pointed.)

I swore and rubbed the bump, and my parents freaked out and came over to help me.  I was trying so hard not to cry and show my weakness, so I started laughing.  Then I couldn't stop.  My brain couldn't decide whether to let me cry or laugh, so I did both.  It went on for several minutes, and my parents were laughing with me, so it helped. 

I wonder, has anyone else ever laughed at their own pain?  Or am I just weird?

I have some tiny Swarovski rhinestones that I was thinking about using on a custom, but I don't know how to make them stick without making a complete mess/ruining my custom with the glue.  Any advice?  These rhinestones are as small as the jewels in G2 pony eyes (not what I'm using them for this time).

I'm still seeking nearly every G2.  Only exceptions are Sky Skimmer, Ivy, and Silver Glow.  Wednesday Afternoon Bride in minty condition is my grail.

So, if you have any at all that you want to sell, post away.
