Conversation With A Definite Maybe. Sometimes? Lover

“What’s wrong?
I know something’s wrong.”

Shrug.
“Nothing”
I say with
Standoffish body language

Long drawn out kiss
Before you leave
As my insides scream
Love me…
Why won’t you
Love me?!

Take advantage
Of my body
But my emotions
Can’t deal with this anymore

“Why are you kissing me?”

“You get mad when I don’t”

No I don’t
I just
I just…
Would do anything for you
Anything
To be close to you

I hate these
Conversations
With my

Definite Maybe
Sometimes?
Never
Nope never
Only when he feels like it
Lover

I am studying for my midterm in my western civilization class. In order to study, im essentially taking the test by writing out who, what, when, where,how and why the term is importent to history in a short paragraph like the test. If you could please look over what I have written and see if there is anything i have missed, just keep into account that i have 20 of these that i have to study for the test. Thank you.

Hoplite Phalanx:
The hoplite phalanx was a battlefield tactic of the Archaic Greeks, used over much of the first millenea BCE. It was a tightly ordered unit of heavily armed, pike bearing men. It was created due to closer unit formation and the spreadin concept of the family farm. Because of the family farm more men were able to afford the armour so critical to the hoplite phalanx. The hoplite phalanx reigned supreme until its defeat in the 2nd century BCE by the Romans.

Just wondering if there were any good WWII fiction books out (preferrably about Germans or russians, but in english) and also maybe something a younger person would enjoy.

i'm considering the purchase of an art nouveau jewelry item. both the chain & repoussé pendant are unmarked but are said to "test positive for sterling". three questions:
• does silverplate test positive for sterling?
• was silverplating being done during the art nouveau era?
• it is possible for a item from the art nouveau period to be not marked silver even though it truly is?

thanks for any informed answers!

Trying to determine whether a small framed etching I have is worth anything. Is there any way to find out online relatively cheaply? I just want to know whether I can sell it for $50 or a few hundred. I'm located in Portland, OR. Thanks!

Has it done anything revolutionary or worthy enough to be remember thousands of years from now? Take Athens (more of a city state of Greece) it founded democracy, science, philosophy and created a whole new way of thinking. Persia at one time nearly ruled all of the known world. Great Britain; the simple fact that countries today still call it that even though it isnt the most powerful is enuff'. There are other nations that have, in some way, stood out above the others and furthered our development as Human Beings. My question is, can the USA compare or is there another country (currently) that is more "important" to Human History?

Many philosophies attempt to answer the question "why?" Why are we here? Is beyond us to exist without knowing why? Is it not acceptable to state, "I don't know why the universe exists and I wasn't there to witness what happened."

Most we always have a "why" even if that why is inaccurate?

If you propose that theory A is why the universe exists and I propose theory B as to why the universe exists, and it turns out that both theories are wrong, it doesn't change that the universe exists.

I see myself reflected in your eyes,
a red-eyed wreck who fails but still tries,
a heart that too many times alone cries,
you turn away.

Eyes well up, chest becomes cold,
arms twitch, fidget and fold,
colors fade then come back bold,
I'm dying for a hug,
you turn away.

Try to write hands shake too much,
beaten, broken, desperate for a crutch,
I can't make it without you,
dying for a hug,
you turn away.

Off you go in search of your "friend",
I guess that makes this our end,
for just one moment your heart you could'nt lend,
I already miss you so much,
can't make it without you,
dying for a hug,
but you turn away.

Some may think that instead of debating and defining these words, we should assume that we already know, and spend our time working and fighting for the ideals that the words represent.

But it seems strange to me that armies die and civilian populations so often sacrifice for theese ideals, yet most people can't even give plain, simple definitions.

I open the discussion by roughly defining "liberty", as "freedom to do some good without doing disproportional harm in the process," defining "freedom" as simply "lack of restraint". Let somebody else tackle the job of defining "good" before or after supplying your own definitions of "liberty" and "freedom", which, of course, is the whole point of this proposed exercise.)

I think that in thinking on these things people would develop enhanced appreciation of Lincoln's comment, "The world has never arrived at a satisfactory definition of liberty."

I'm an eighth grader who loves to read and my teacher said we are having an Outside Reading Project. I have no clue what book to read though. I'm the kind of person who can read anything so don't worry about the level or difficulty or length of the material. I would like to read something thrilling and unique. I'm okay with classic stories too! I have already read the following books:
- Entire Harry Potter Series
- Tom Sawyer
- Huckleberry Finn
- Little Women
- and many others
I would really like it if someone could recommend a great series because ever since Harry Potter ended, I'm not interesting in any other books anymore. Thanks!
