Ok I finally got my $. I plan on going to bitinstant.com... If I don't have a printer will I still be able to pay cash at a payment center? I don't have any other way to pay except $.
And where do I have the BTC's sent to? I mean like a wallet, then here? Or just here? How do I get a wallet? And if I send them to my SR account, how do I do that? And where do I get a wallet, if I want to have one then send the BTC"s to my SR account in increments?
Anything else that you think I might need to know would also be appreciated. I'm sure I'll figure most of it out once I go to bitinstant... Also do I need anything before I do the bitinstant? I'll wait for a reply b4 I do it.

I think you need to print something out to use BitInstant. But can't you do that at your local Kinko's copy place or your public library?? I think they let you print stuff for a price per page. Get a wallet at Blockchain.info. You would be smart to encrypt your wallet and create an alias for your wallet so you don't have to remember the long name for your wallet they give you otherwise. If you encrypt your wallet, don't forget the passcode whatever you do. if you lose either the name and/or alias to your blockchain wallet or the encryption passcode, there is no way to get your bitcoins. No way at all. Trust me on that. It's happened to me. Kicked myself for that one. Luckily wasn't too much money. I think that one your bitcoins are available from bitinstant they send you an email and that's when you tell them what wallet address you want to transfer them too. Search the forums for a lot more detailed info on all this stuff. This question has been answered thousands of times in the forums.

I don't understand what I need a wwallet for? Can't they just be sent to my email then I email them here? And what do I send them to to get them on my account?

no you cant do that simpy by using email, and i wouldnt suggest bitinstant right now but feel free to experiment. if you have a bank account i suggest using dwolla to campbx, while youll find many complaints about cbx it worked flawlessly as far as the bitcoin transfering..
