I just spent four hours on a boat. Went to stingray city, then snorkeled... Man, I am pooped. Fun day, though. My friend is there, jumping on me out of fear (ad since she's 5'10 and I'm 5'7 it was pretty funny) and I'm there, "OMG YOU GUYS ARE SO CUTE COME HERE".

I hate being on boats on the sea.

On a river, if I can have some role in controlling it, I'm ... okay.

ETA: Thanks, Matt! Carry on like this, and you'll make a girl very happy one day!

Just popping in to say this conversation of the crushes is really amusing to me.

It is to me too .

If you like plays, I have a PDF of my 1 act you could have, if your reader takes PDFs. What kind of reader is it?

Yup.

Question:

In the police, who are the ones that usually go to people's houses to tell them stuff? I'm thinking PC, but I'm not sure.

ETA: I do not know what a crush war is either.

There are specialist family liaison officers who deliver news of a death. News article.

edit: Which may not be what you meant, but in fairness, that was a really vague question.

A crush war is you know, when 2 girls like the same dude, and try and get him to like her, at any cost... (hasn't that been made into a movie? oh well, another subplot for my plays...)

Lisa- Happy belated Birthdaaaaaay!
“The facts of romance” is a story of comedy, love, and teenage lust. It’s the story of William Potter, a freshman at Jonathan Larson High School, in New Bumpkin, MA, and Margaret Blake, a senior. When they go on a date, they end up staying out past her father’s curfew; they end up getting a hotel room. Then, things happen, and she ends up pregnant. William’s parents, Henry, and Lorraine, were pretty upset. They were not as upset as Sherman and Mildred, who hit the roof. The four parents verbally abuse the teens. Then the teen’s friends, and drama teacher, Mr. McIntyre, enter. Will proposes, and the wedding happens. Finally, Henry reveals that their other children are now expecting, prompting Sherman to ask for a shotgun, and they eminently tell their audience they’re going to hell, at which point the play ends.

Back when I lurked around AW in 2010ish, there used to be a 13 year old kid...pretty crazy. kept talking about some story with sex and drugs and teen pregnancy...

He'd be about my age nowadays...
