Q: When talking to someone, don't tell them your life story. You're not an open book. Instead, you're mysterious and need to leave gaps in your story. That will encourage people to ask questions, think about what you've said, and fill in the gaps of your story with their imaginations. A great way to approach this idea is to only answer questions that you're asked about yourself as opposed to simply offering up information. Even when you're answering questions, give as little information as possible while still satisfying the questioner. If someone asks you about your weekend, make some vague reply such as "I met up with some friends and we did some things in town." If they question you further, just say nothing and smile mysteriously. If you're always available, you might seem eager and you certainly won't appear mysterious. Instead, you want to be available occasionally, although usually not, which will make your attentions almost seem like a reward. This applies to phone calls, texts, video chats, and get-togethers. If your phone rings, let it go to voicemail. If you receive a text or direct message, don't read it right away. If they suggest that you get together, don't enthusiastically say yes. Check your calendar first. You're mysterious when you're often unavailable. You don't want to stand out in a crowd because of your flashy clothes, bright colors, or loud patterns. Instead, you want to keep your clothing somewhat modest, but still different from everyone around you. Darker colors are more mysterious. If people around you tend to wear jeans, for example, consider wearing boot cut jeans. If everyone wears boots, consider loafers.
A: Keep some things to yourself. Don't always be available. Don't be a flashy dresser.

Q: After you finish reciting the blessings, pick the shamash candle up with your dominant hand. Use the shamash to light the candle/s, going from left to right. In other words, light the newest candle first, then light the preceding candles. Always use the shamash to light the candles. Never use an already lit candle to light the others. After you finish lighting the candles, place the shamash candle back in its slot. You have just finished lighting your chanukiah! Placing the chanukiah in the window is a way of proudly showing your Jewish heritage and traditions. A key part of the Chanukah story is the defeat of the Hellenistic forces by the ancient Jewish Maccabees. The Greeks had taken over the ancient Jewish temple and were trying to smother the Jewish religion. This is why displaying the chanukiah and expressing your Judaism is an integral part of the holiday. Custom says to place the chanukiah in a window to the left of the door, if possible. The chanukiah belongs on the left side of a doorway, opposite the mezuzah on the right side, so that the family can be surrounded by mitzvot (commandments) as they celebrate Chanukah. Instead of blowing out or extinguishing the candles, let them run their course. Make sure that they burn for at least a half an hour after sunset. If you have to leave the house, time it so that they burn for at least 30 minutes after you have lit them. If it is Shabbat, use long-lasting candles and make sure that they burn for at least a half an hour after the sun sets. If you have to leave the house, let the candles burn for at least 30 minutes after sunset, then extinguish them for safety purposes.
A: Light the candles with the shamash. Place the shamash candle back in its slot. Place the chanukiah in the window. Let the candles burn themselves out.

Q: The best way to sterilize the needle before using it is with flame. Hold the needle over the flame of a candle or a lighter until it glows. Make sure you hold the other end with tongs, or you'll burn your fingertips. Once the needle is sterile, wrap it in cotton thread. Start about 18 inch (0.3cm) away from the tip and wrap the thread back and forth about 14 inch (0.6cm) up the needle until the thread has formed an oval shape. This will absorb some of the ink as you dip your needle into the saucer. Dip the needle into the India ink and then poke it through your skin, leaving a small dot. There may be some blood after several layers of poking, but there shouldn't be much. If blood is dripping/excessive, stop immediately and sterilize. Hold a clean paper towel, not cloth, onto the tattoo until it stops bleeding . Stay inside the line of the tattoo design you've drawn, filling it in with tiny punctures. Use a cotton swab or a rag to wipe away any blood or excess ink. The skin may swell up a bit as you poke it which may cause the resulting tattoo to appear spotty. You may have to do touch-ups when the swelling goes down if you want smooth lines throughout the tattoo. Wait to do touch ups until after the tattoo is completely healed, which can take up to two months. When you finish the tattoo, wipe down the area with soapy water. Throw away any remaining India ink in the ink cap and needles. They are no longer sterile. Use a new needle and a new saucer of ink if you plan on doing any touch-ups in the future. Avoid cleaning a fresh tattoo with alcohol -- use soap and water, instead.
A: Sterilize the needle. Start poking. Start working your way along the lines. Clean the tattooed area.
