		<description><![CDATA[You know the typical teen runaway story: parents try to discipline their kid over a poorly thought-out relationship, who then thinks they&#8217;re the worst people in the world and decides to run away with their lover.

Ever since we got Verizon FIOS, I&#8217;ve been using it to the maximum because, why not?, we&#8217;re paying for it.  BitTorrent is definitely the best way to fully utilize a connection.  In the screenshot above, note the total of [...]]]></description>
