I met this guy at my friends house and I like him a lot but Im not sure if he only wants to be friends. And its still too early to just ask him straight up. So here’s our latest conversations via text. Keep in mind Im sixteen and he’s seventeen.
Him: Hey 
Me: Hi 
Him: How are you this crazy hot day?
Me: Haha well today was good. I’m leaving (name of waterpark) right now
what about you? Did you roast in the heat?
Him: You lucky mofo! Actually I stayed inside most of the day, did a behind the wheel at around 11.
Me: Hahahaha yeah I know
How was it??
Him: How was (name of water park)? Super easy. I just drove from (city) to my house.
Me: Well thats good, did the instructor try talking to you? I heard that they try to make you mess up or something. (name of water park) was very refreshing hahaha
Him: Yeah we talked. He was really cool. We talked about fireworks. Awwuh, dude, I bet. Even if the water is pee-filled.
Me: Hahahaha you and your fireworks! Lol I dont even want the think about ppl peeing in the water. When was the last time you went swimming? Alyssas party?
Him: Can you blame me for having fun with them? Not a fun thing to think about. I think so. I plan on going to the beach soon though.
Me: Ha no I dont blame you, fireworks are awesome! Yeah me too, I think next week? :p My friends and I are gonna paint her van and then we’re gonna go camping on the beach
)
Him: I still have a few ;D Dude, thats awesome! Sounds like a blast.
Me: Haha are you serious?? What kinds?
Him: Me and my friends lit off the others but firecrackers and “Speedballs” are all that’s left.
Me: What are speedballs?
Him: You know what ground flowers are?
Me: Yeah, they spin around.
Him: Well, its like that, only they spin on the ground for a second and then shoot up into the air really fast. They’re epic.
Me: Holy crap! Haha I want to light one up
Him: They’re friggin’ awesome. We bought soooo many packs, and we only came home with one.
Me: Lol where’d you get them? I want some!
Him: In Nebraska. I snuck ‘em back
thirty minutes went by…
Me: Sorry I fell asleep in the car for a little bit :} ha you did? Would you be willing to sell me a couple? If not I totally understand 
Him: No problem. Car naps are gewd. Hmmm, I could give you a speedball and a few firecrackers. I dont have much to spare though.
Me: Ha it’s ok then, I dont want to take any if you dont have much.
Him: We could just light ‘em all together.
Me: That sounds good 
Him: The firecrackers are waterproof 
Me: Oooh! We should go to the beach or something and light them up haha Whatever you want to do, they’re your fireworks.
Him: The beach sounds like the perfect plan.
Me: Cool
)
Him: We just need a time.
Me: And a day.
Him: And other people?
Me: Yeah that would be good.
Him: Alright. Should we get a whole mass of people or just a few friends?
Me: Hmmm…a few friends sounds good unless you want otherwise
Him: Naw, a few friends works.

Hi, we are a male and female couple in our 20′s. We were thinking of buying a van and driving from LA down through the Mexico boarder, down the coast of Mexico out to Panama. Is this safe enough to do? My boyfriend is now concerned that its too dodgy. We were originally going to camp in the van (we are sheltered here in NZ) but have decided that its better to stay in cheap hotels as we hear its dangerous to drive at night. I just need some opinions so that I can make my boyfriend relax. Thanks heaps!

Okay. In my story, a character has neglected to bring a car jack on a long camping trip and unfortunately her van now needs a tyre replacing. Conveniently enough, an alien comes along and elevates it two feet off the ground so she can line up the spare wheel. (Yes, I realise how ridiculous I have made it sound but in the context… I have poetic license, so there.)
Anyway, the point is this alien is not invincible and cannot hold a rickety old van very effectively. At the interval between my character removing the flat tyre and fitting the new one, her companion begins to lose his grip and the van tips toward her. I only tell you this because I have puzzled over a certain sentence for a very long while and I believe some context is in order before you can come to a definite decision. Here is an excerpt:
“Then, for one horrifying moment, the van leaned towards me, quivering. I gasped, unable to move as I watched the buckled metal draw rapidly closer. The only thing which registered in my mind in that single fragment of time was the logo welded onto the tipping door. At some time in its hundred years of life it would have advertised ‘Starwagon’, but due to slow decay it now simply read, quite fittingly, ‘tarwagon’. My first and only emotion, at this moment when death seemed inevitable, was indignation. I’d be the only person in history to die with the word ‘tarwagon’ imprinted into their skull…”
Now the sentence which throws me is the last one. Should it be, “…only person in history to die with the word ‘tarwagon’ imprinted into THEIR skull…” or “…only person in history to die with the word ‘tarwagon’ imprinted into MY skull…”?
Thanks for any help! I can’t come to a decision!
@Amaretta:
Yes, I do rather prefer the sound of “her skull” as opposed to “their skull”… but can “her” be all-encompassing when it comes to population? I know “his” can be used to collectively group people regardless of their gender, but seeing as my character is female it would seem a bit odd to classify her under “his”. I guess my only concern with “her” is that it’s never been used to group males and females together…

I’m writing this to email my old English teacher.
Hi Sir, How are you? How has your holiday been? It was good to meet you when I turned up in the summer. Apparently the school has been shut due to the overwhelming flood in Bangkok.So now you’ve got ur holiday lengthened then. Good for you, isn’t it? I’m sure the whole country now struggles with this disaster. I hope things will get better as time flies by, with the water receding to the sea at some point. By the way, I was really impressed with seeing the pictures of me when I won the writing contest ages ago on your facebook.
I can’t remember anything in school at the time. I can’t even remember what I wrote. All the same, Thank you so much for reminding me of my past achievement.
I am on halfterm holidays this week. I haven’t been up to much other than drinking so much while camping in a camper van with my English friends around the English countryside of Suffolk. This is what Britons like to do apart from clubbing. haha. I have to crack on with a sheer amount of prep over the holidays now as I’ve got school next week.
Have a good one sir !

A San Antonio pastor and an employee of his Christian boot camp were arrested Friday on aggravated assault charges, accused of dragging a girl behind a van after she failed to keep up during a running exercise.
Investigators with the Nueces County Sheriff’s Office arrested Charles E. Flowers, 46, shortly before noon at the Faith Outreach Center in northwest San Antonio, said Brad E. Bailey, a spokesman for the Schertz Police Department.
Bailey said boot camp trainer Stephanie Bassitt, 20, was later arrested without incident at her home in Kirby.
Girl alleges second assault
Authorities said both Flowers and Bassitt restrained the girl June 12, tying her to the back of a van with a piece of rope before dragging her on her stomach at the Love Demonstrated Ministries’ boot camp in Banquete, about 10 miles west of Corpus Christi.

My mom, husband, brother, sister, a friend of my sister’s were sitting in the van and we were actually gone camping. My mom just randomly throws her shirt off and she puts on another one. Then I give her “the mad look” and she says “hey its family.” Was this wrong of her to do? Now I am also concerned because she used to change her clothes in front of me and my siblings even till today.
yes, it was my husband and also my sister’s friend. other than that my brother and sister would be alright but the other two were also there.
