The Family - Putting the "fun" back in "dysfunctional"

Mom - She's as much addicted to the computer as I am, though she prefers games over chat. I lived with her from a sophomore in high school until I moved to Phoenix. She and my dad divorced when I was in kindergarten. She has worked in the Emergency Room as a secretary for over 15 years. She smokes, so it may not have been the best idea to move in with her considering my asthma ... After my dad and mom divorced, my dad got custody of all of us, but my mom never lived far away and we were free to stay with her if we wanted.

Dad - Techno phobic. Lived with my dad most of my life, until I moved in with my mom during my sophomore year of high school, I just couldn't stand the constant fighting that was happening in our family, and preferred solitude, no one lived with my mom at the time so I moved in. He loves motorcycles, he owns two Honda's. Has worked as an RN (Regular Nut ... err ... Registered Nurse) for 20 years, very self motivated and always willing to do things ... but I swear he will be late to his own funeral.

Robb - Oldest brother. Big into drugs. He has asthma, like me. More or less the bane of the family, 23 and never had a place of his home, sporadic jobs as a cook, very odd girlfriend who is asked me at least once a day if he was cheating on her.


Jason - Older brother. Pretty responsible guy. Has a fiancé, Liz. Currently lives across the street from my mom, but he is planning on going back to Job Corp for more education and Liz is going to move in with her mom.


Michelle - Younger sister. In public, I'm not supposed to acknowledge we're related, as it would damage her reputation. She had recently broken up with her boyfriend of 4 years, but apparently they're back together now, or at least he will be meeting me at the airport with her when I get picked up. She works at an "old fogies" home. Planning on being an RN like my dad.

Brian - Youngest brother. The Man with the Plan. He's going to end up being mayor of our small hicktown. He's already on a first name basis with the current mayor, and gets called by the mayor for luncheons. He's been doing community service for the City for as long as I can remember, he has most of the City Council in his back pocket. I have no idea where he is working right now, it could be anything from a ballpark concession stand, to a lifeguard, parks & rec helper, or any of the other jobs he has had.

Laurie - Youngest sister. Half sister, she has a different mom. Her birthday is right on Christmas. I usually don't see much of her, she lives with her mom and usually my dad picks her up and does things with her on his days off when he has nothing else to do.
