Family

Mom sits and talks on the phone for a long time. To her sister. I walk past, listening, as I look at the neatly laid out cookies on the counter. "you sound better than you did last time" Take a bite of one, swallow. "I think you're ready" I gaze into the dining room, past the living room, to the window. Dad sits outside on the dark porch, reading.

I'm just noticing the absence of my family in this blog.

I'll just talk of my siblings for now.

Carson.
The only blonde of our family. He has sandy blonde hair and brown eyes. He's 12, happy. Has ADHD. He's the most social person you could meet. He loves people, and likes to meet them. He likes being sweet and loves kitties and kittens. He reads books from the library about them, and goes "awwww!! cuuutee!" at the sight of pictures. He enjoys playing video games, and explaining how things work in his games. He hops when he plays video games, or at least stands. No, he hops. I'm watching him right now. Staring at the screen, standing, jumping. He's fairly smart, but has bad handwriting, has trouble writing at all.
He seems to look up to me. When I dyed my hair purple, he didn't cringe at all like Alex did. He thought it was neat, and later tried it himself. The girls screamed upon sight of him with blue hair. He didn't take that badly, I'm glad to say. But elementary school is an early age to dye your hair.
He can get into bad moods and just argue and demand. He always wants to go where he wants to go, and will pout and everything if he doesn't. All vacation he was saying "can we go golfing!" "let's go to the arcade!" "let's go--" and it nearly drove us all insane. Because after one thing, he'd ask for something else.
He talks even if no one listens. But he's not loud.
He has a lot of friends.

Alex.
He has dark brown hair and eyes that he says change color. A greenish brown. He's tall, and thin. I'm convinced he has super strenght, because whenever I try to whack him he deflects, and he's fairly muscular although he does nearly nothing. He has two friends total, well, it seems. He used to invite Michael over, but now that doesn't happen. He never has birthday parties, never did after age 13 or so.. He chats with Michael, and the other Michael, and no one else as far as I know. He's never known a girl. And he sure doesn't want to. "I'll be rich rich rich, and I don't want to share it." He's an internet geek and always acts quite arrogant. He thinks all high school students are idiots. He thinks all girls are arrogant idiots. (even though he is somewhat himself..) But, in public, he is one of the few who's not an idiot. He doesn't party, he'll never drink, smoke, or do drugs. He doesn't talk to people, and he's never loud. He can be nice and laugh a lot at times, at other times he just gets into this 'I'm better than everyone' mood and treats you like a small child who doesn't understand. He's convinced he knows best. He'll try to get in your way if he can. As in, he wishes to convince dad to not let Zandry come and visit me, and calls me a complete idiot who wastes money. He likes waving his cash in front of my face sometimes, when I'm broke. During the day he's fairly nice, at night he can be a jerk, but on occasion he'll feel nice and watch anime and laugh with me. We enjoy making inside jokes from flash animations and things we see on the internet.. "That bird.." "Kasu" "piaakaakaaa" "ring ring ring ring... banana phoooone" "I kill you in the street" "bonklars!" "apple, corn, laser gun!" and too many more. We just say that randomly, remember where we heard it, and laugh. He rarely goes out anywhere, doesn't like many movies, and stays on the computer most of the time. He demands that I go on instant messenger to get gifs and flash animations from him.
