Atlantic City

So I was forced into the car with the family (yet again) and shipped off to roam the boardwalk of Atlantic City with mother and brother while father grandparents and aunt wandered the casinos. Oh the fun we had. (please pick up on the sarcasm this instant.) We went on the beach after arguing and sat ourselves down next to this mother who did not like her child. She proceeded to tell the little girl to pretend she wasn't her mother for the day and to go away. Then they started talking about henna tattoos and the little girl wanted one on her back. Her older sister(?) told her she would look like a tramp, which the child obviously didn't know the meaning of because she then asked what it was. Her mother then told her to look it up on the internet. GREAT PARENTING!
I better have gotten a good tan out of this.
So this was followed by more arguing, lectures, walking and waiting for the rest of my family to get out of the casinos. When they finally did get out, they had to go have lunch at some fancy restaurant while I continue to wait and argue with my mother.
Then the creeps come out...
First, there is this guy with no leg sitting by the trash can with a jar begging for money. But he clearly wasn't too bad off because he was listening to an ipod. Then this guy wearing a boot for his broken leg comes by picking chewed gum off of the ground, eating out of trash cans, and smoking used cigarettes out of ash trays. He hobbles away and then comes these two foriegn guys. They start screaming at each other in a language I don't even want to understand at this point, and start pushing each other. Finally they go their seperate ways. So I start to smell cigarette smoke and realize that another guy with a fake leg is standing next to me smoking. He then confronts the legless guy asking for change and says "hey what are you doing?" *points to leg* "I walk." *walks away*. I'm a littled creeped out by now so I decide I'll go into the shopping center and find a bathroom. Just as soon as this shirtless guy in short shorts gets out of my way...
So after all of the creepers (which were all witnessed within like, a half hour) we waited and fought some more until family was done with dinner. Then we left for home at long last which would have been a miserable ride full of old people music had I not had my ipod listening to All Time Low the whole way =)
Their new album is EPIC by the way.
So now I'm still stuck with family until tomorrow afternoon when I get my life back.

Till Then!
