The (Former) Apartment

In Search of Home

So I am home. Not in Trop 212 no, I am home in Gunnison, Colorado aka the "G-Spot". If you've never heard of Gunnison then you must live in a cave because we are the "igneous rock intrusion capital of the world"! How did I get here? Let me tell you of my tale. I flew out Friday around 12:35 after waiting in a line that extended from Terminal 1 to Terminal 2 at LAX. My flight was delayed because the flight was overbooked. I would have gladly given up my seat for a $200 voucher but I was supposed to go to my cousin's high school graduation. Bummer, but oh well. I fly to Phoenix where I was supposed to hurry to catch my next flight to the G-Spot. Problem is there is a security lockdown inbetween me and the terminal I needed to get to. So I waited for 10 minutes and then we were allowed to pass. I get to my gate and there I discover that my flight has been delayed 2 hr's. So I could have taken the vouchers and still caught my flight but instead I am $200 poorer and instead of arriving at 6 pm I arrive at 8pm. Not a big issue until you realize that my cousin's graduation is 4 1/2 hours away in Denver. Again not a big issue until you realize that it starts at 9 AM! My parents give me my own room in the hotel which was cool but also give me a wake up call at 7AM, not cool. After the graduation my dad wants to take our cousins out to eat. Being from the south my dad wants to eat at Furr's. It's like a Home Town Buffet. I hate these places because they remind me of school cafeteria food. I however am able to gain the support of several of my cousins to change the eating place to something like Chile's. But ultimately the decision is up to the big graduate. I hear from his brother that earlier that day he said he didn't want to go to Furr's. However, upon a second inquisition the Grad decides he does want to go to Furr's. I believe there is some sort of recessive gene in my family that 1 out of 4 of my relatives have. After Furr's we make the 4 hr trip back to Gunnison. I have finally made it. The G-Spot never felt so good. Now my only problems are the dentist where i am almost positive he will find some cavities because I now have a few sweet toothe's, a check up with orthopedic surgeon where I will have to explain why I didn't keep up with my excercises and as a result cant bend my leg all the way, and at some point explain to my parents that I bought an XBOX at school (currently I have it downstairs where my brother is staying). It should be a fun summer. :)
