Moving.

My first impression of Florida was that the entire state was devised solely to make my life slightly more ridiculous than it already was. My sister moved to Florida many years ago, and kept telling us how absolutely fantastic it was. 
"The sea is made from liquid joy, the sand is actually tiny rainbow sprinkles" she would say, "It's a giant foot massage in state-form"...well.. more or less. I might be paraphrasing slightly.

I ended up going there for college, only to find my experience somewhat lacking compared to my sibling's. I had never moved outside of  my hometown, so what may be normal for the average person was entirely shocking to me. The experience started when I was on the plane. I had stupidly failed to plan anything enjoyable for the plane ride there, a roughly 8 hour ride in our case, so I decided to fumble with the goodies in the seat in front of me.

Flipping to a random page in the first magazine I got my hands on I found what I could only describe as.. some sort of cell-phone carrying device for a feminine version of spiderman.

 Passing up on the offer for spiderwoman's accessory slot, I reached for the next magazine hoping it would bring me with something slightly more tolerable.

Advertisement, advertisement, nope, ah-hah! Article! Just my luck the article would happen to be a horoscope...which I almost entirely don't believe in. To make it even more fantastic it was a sandwich horoscope.

As if the concept of generalizing people based on time of birth wasn't ridiculous enough, they decided to up the ante by grouping us based on what kinda of sandwiches we like. At first I thought it was some sort of joke but it honestly looked like they were taking my preference in condiments seriously. 

Okay..yeah.. no more magazines for a while.

Finally we get off the plane at god-awful o'clock. Our plane has been delayed so many times that by the time we get off the entire terminal is empty.

Now by empty I don't mean, ohh not a lot of people around. A little quiet. No, I mean soul crushingly, is-it-illegal-to-be-in-here-are-we-trespassing levels of empty. Even the people from our own plane seemed to vanish. 

And thus begins the adventures of the Rapery!
