Back on the Internet!

Well, this is my fourth-ish day in FL and my family finally got the internet set up in the new house. Lets summarize what I've been up to so far:

(Days 1-3): First thing we did after I got here was go to Miami for the weekend. I had two Venti Soy Caramel Macchiatos(I forgot the "Iced" :P) on the trip there. Even with that caffeine I still managed to catch some sleep. On the plane I read the first 120-ish pages of the 6th Harry Potter, so I got through a bunch of it on the 4 hour drive to Miami. I also managed to play some FFTactics Advance and Pokemon FireRed(My little brother was stuck). We stayed with a family friend who had an amazing condo right next to Miami Beach. It was pretty amazing, especially since I hadn't been in warm salt water in forever. I think I love waves and choppy water, because the calm rolling of the beach was boring to me. Either way the weekend was fun and I got a bit darker.

(Day 4): I played MK and RE4 on my little brother's Wii. Finished Harry Potter. Helped move and unpacked some boxes in the house. Swam with the family in our house's pool. I'm kind of glad my parents have gotten their "final house". Though now that leaves them to talking about how their Grandkids can come visit them and swim in the pool...

(Day 5): Messed around with our network at home and played Warcraft 3 with my brother. I realize that I kind of suck at the game. And that my little brother is pretty good at it. Woe is me.

We also went to get my little brother registered for class. I realized there that I still resented my family going to FL. Moreso than the fact that I felt abandoned, I think the fact that things are happening for them without me being around made me feel insignificant. Plus my alternate Hopkins student future will always loom over my head when I think of FL. Ah well, all is well that ends well, and things are pretty good right now. I'm living in an apt working for a program I actually like.

We went to the old FL house and cleaned up. There was alot of vacuuming to be done, which ended up being my job. With my brother's injured leg and my parents getting older I think I kind of wished I were down here.

Lyric of the Day:
"meguri-kuru toki ni
yakusoku wo ubaware-sou
kono ryoute sashi nobete mo
kokoro wa hanarete"

(Translated)
"I feel the changing season
will see my promise broken.
Even if I reach out with my hands,
my heart will stay distant."
-L'Arc~en~Ciel:"Blurry Eyes"

Random Story of The Day:
While my family fliped through my pictures:

Brother: "Whats funny is even though there are so many pictures of girls on your bed, you've probably never gone with any of them."

Mom: "Are you sure your friends aren't gay?"(In response to Ryan's BG for me)

Dad: "So you took off any pictures with drinking before showing us, eh?"
