i went outside to start up the cutty and it wouldnt start, so i jumped it with another car, took off the cables and let it run for a minute. i turned the car off and tried to restart but it wouldnt again. it it the battery? or maybe my alarm? im totally clueless right now?

If you can jump-start it, I don't think the kill feature on your alarm is causing it. I think you've got a dead or weak battery, and the alarm or stereo memory could be contributing to that.

Also take the cables loose from the battery and clean them with a wire brush so you've got good contact. Have the alternator checked too, though since the car would run without the jumper battery it's probably ok.
