Q: You can use just about anything that is smooth and flat as your palette, such as a: piece of plastic, sheet of wax paper, plastic lid, or a plastic paint tray. You will be blending these colors together, so pick out colors that will blend well together. Avoid contrasting colors, as they may create a muddy effect. Here are some color samples for you:  Warm colors, such as: red, orange, yellow Cool colors, such as: blue and purple or blue and turquoise Analogous colors, such as: pink, blue, and purple. Because you used rubbing alcohol, this should not take very long; alcohol evaporates quickly. Avoid blowing on your nails, or your might spread the wet Sharpie "paint" around and mess up your design.
A: Find something to use as a palette. Choose two to three colors of Sharpie. Wait for the Sharpie to dry.

Q: These are some of the most important buildings to keep close to the center of your base. The mortars especially are important, because of their huge range and weak zone. The wizard towers give you a bit more leniency, because they have a smaller range and no weak spot. The best thing to do with is make sure they offer each other coverage. This way, if one tower is being attacked, the others are taking out of the attackers. Also in this category is the air defense. You want to centralize these, because if they get destroyed, your base is easy picking for dragons. They're some of the most versatile buildings in the game. They can be used for several techniques, including funneling and wall-breaker sniping (see part three). Basically, have fun with them. If you want to make a troll base, make one. Just do what you want.
A: Keep splash damage buildings close to the center. Centralize any buildings in your "normal" category, including archer towers and cannons. Follow your gut with your traps.

Q: Fresh breath is an important aspect of a good kiss. If you have a bad taste in your mouth, the person you kiss probably won’t like it. Think about what you ate recently and breathe into your hand to check for bad breath. Practicing healthy dental hygiene is a good long-term practice.  There are many ways to freshen your breath. Brushing your teeth is the best option if you have time. If time is more limited, chew some gum, eat a mint, or swish with mouthwash. If it’s possible to plan ahead for the chance of a kissing dare, buy a disposable toothbrush to have handy. Kissing usually causes excitement throughout your body. It increases your heart rate and makes you breathe more quickly. You want to be calm for the kiss, so take slow, deep breaths for a few seconds. This may apply more to times when the person is a stranger. Making small talk and asking how the other person feels about kissing can ease the pressure. Talking about the kiss before you do it can give you confidence.
A: Freshen your breath. Take some deep breaths. Talk to the person you’re going to kiss.

Q: You are about to take a big risk. However close you may be, and however compatible you are as platonic friends, going from friend to boyfriend or girlfriend is a huge change in any relationship – so huge that it will be changed forever. You should therefore carefully consider whether the risk is worth it. Can you get over a rejection? Are you willing to risk harming your friendship, even ending it, for the chance at love? You, and your friend, might not want that. Try to find out if the feeling is mutual. Does your friend seem to drop verbal or physical hints that she sees you as a potential partner? Does she flirt with you? Or, does she treat you as a sibling or talk about her attraction to others? If the latter, then she may be signalling that she isn't interested in you. You may be perfectly compatible as friends. You may get along famously, spending hours together one-on-one or in larger groups of friends, laughing together, and sharing all of your thoughts. But this does not guarantee you will be compatible as lovers. Do you share the same values? Beliefs? Passions? Will you have good chemistry? If you cannot determine this, can you honestly imagine that the two of you would work as a couple? Are you sure that your feelings are more than just lust or passing fancy? Sometimes major life events push people together and cloud our judgement. Are you on the rebound? Are you lonely? Are you both dealing with personal loss, like a death in the family? If the catalyst is one of these, you may want to wait and see how you feel in one or two months. Make certain that your interest is motivated by legitimate desire, longing, or love. It may be that she doesn't see you as anything more than a friend. You have to be prepared for that possibility. You also have to understand that your relationship won't be quite the same once you've come clean with your feelings. It may be awkward, or it may end entirely. If you have decided to risk your friendship, you have to be able to accept the consequences.
A:
Consider the risks. Look for hints. Think compatibility. Be sure of your motives. Prepare for a rejection.
