I'm 15 and pretty good with relationship advice. Also a musician. I play piano, guitar, and harmonica and i've been writing music for over a year. Go ahead and email me, I'll always reply (unless you're just a troll) and I could talk about anything with almost anybody ;)
What type of rhetorical device is this?
It's from Lincoln's 2nd inaugural address. I know it's something, but I don't know what it is:
"...until every drop of blood drawn with the lash shall be paid by another drawn with the sword, as was said three thousand years ago, so still it must be said "the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous altogether.""
I just want to know what the first part is. I know the lash refers to the cruel treatment of slaves and the sword is the slaves fighting back, or supporters of equality. What is the rhetorical device used in the first part?
1 AnswerWords & Wordplay8 years agoCan this get you pregnant?
I'm pretty sure nothing will happen but my girlfriend is freaking out about it so can you guys clear this up?
My girlfriend and I were fooling around a little (we agreed awhile ago not to have sex yet) and i was on top of her and she took my penis and just put the tip touching her vagina. No penetration, and I wasn't pre-ejaculating at the time. But she's terrified the pre- from earlier (which was wiped off and gone) was still on the tip and had sperm in it and she's afraid it got her pregnant. Can you get pregnant from a tiny amount of pre*** and no penetration? We're both virgins if that makes a difference, and her last period was 2 weeks ago.
4 AnswersAdolescent8 years agoWhat's my girlfriend thinking?
We've been together for about a month and half now and I know it seems short but we were FWB before that so we've actualy been together for about 4 months. Anyway I really care about her and I like her so much.
Before break, she said she's going to take Spring Break to just think about us and she asked me to give her space. I went to her house and we talked about it and she seems so upset and confused about everything and she won't give me a straight answer when I asked things like "Are you losing feelings for me?" Or "Should I not have come?" She's never fallen in love before and I have a couple times so I told her that might be it because love tears people up the first time... However, she says she doesn't want to break up when I asked her that.
But not talking to her is. KILLING. ME. I'm all for giving her space and I tried to brace myself for this, but she said she'll text/call me if she wants to talk and we've barely had a conversation since break started on Friday. All I want to do is contact her and tell her how much I care about her and I don't want to lose her but I know that's not a good idea. And most of you are probably are going to tell me to just stay off of it and give her the space she needs which I plan on doing no matter how much it hurts.
But can someone give me some hints as to what's going through her head and what I can do do cope with this isolation??

1 AnswerSingles & Dating8 years agoOpinion on happy trails? Girl answers mostly?
What do u think about happy trails? I have one and my gf thinks its sexy but I've heard more cons than pros. For whoever doesn't know, a happy trail is a trail of hair from a guys chest going down below his belly button and sometimes ends in a tuft, which is what mine does. Yay or nay?

1 AnswerMusic & Music Players9 years agoHow can i get my brother interested in music?
I play piano and guitar and he plays guitar. He never plays it though and i'm always begging him to join in with me on piano or sing a chorus with me. He knows how to play, he took lessons. He always says "I just don't feel like it" which pisses me off because how can you not feel like making music? My question is how do i get him interested so he'll jam with me?

4 AnswersSecurity9 years agoAnyone know what this song is?!?!?
I heard this song in a video and I can't find it anywhere!!! Here's the lyrics from what I could understand:
Hope brings out to you like a new year
Kicks your adidas into new gear
And makes you laugh 'til you cry.
But oh, no
Bills get paid when there's no funds
All the drag fees take a credit run
Leaves you eating on mac & cheese.
But we manage to get by
And your heart alone
Is still something
When you die
'Cause we can transplant it
(CHORUS)
All my hopes and dreams, they fade.
Replaced with the feeling they all go away
And somehow we land on the other side
Better off as guests. That's what CNN tells me.
Drip, drop
Banks go dry in the bedway
The heat shuts off but it's okay
Sweaters are free by the gate.
Pretty sure that's accurate. Not completely sure about the last line in the chorus though and that's all the video plays of the song. Somebody please tell me what this is!! It's an alternative, soft rock, acoustic song.
