You&#8217;ll be turning sixteen this year and that only happens once in a girl&#8217;s life.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI remember when I turned sixteen,\u201d recalled Mrs. DreamHost. \u201cI wrote ridiculous press releases that no one ever bothered to read back then, too. You remind me so much of myself when I was a girl!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cI&#8217;ll never forget the day you were born, Princess. SATA was just a twinkle in our eyes, bandwidth cost a fortune, and the only CSS the world knew was a weak DVD copy protection scheme.\u201d Mr. DreamHost paused to rest a hand atop his wife&#8217;s shoulder. \u201cThings were simpler back then, DreamHost. You don&#8217;t know how lucky you are to be here &#8211; or how lucky the world is to have you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>DreamHost could only roll her eyes. \u201cGod, you guys are so lame!\u201d she shouted. \u201cI&#8217;m just going to give stuff away for sixteen days and I don&#8217;t care what you say. Starting tomorrow, September 7th, I&#8217;ll put a link to these promos right up there on my homepage, and anyone who wants to get in on this hot action can just click their way in. Serious. I&#8217;m gonna be giving it out on the daily, Mom and Dad, and there&#8217;s nothing you can do about it!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The sadness in her mother&#8217;s eyes was clear. \u201cBut we love you so much, DreamHost! Why would you want to hurt us like this?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cYou guys are so old school! You don&#8217;t understand anything! Life&#8217;s not about where you&#8217;ve been, it&#8217;s about where you&#8217;re going &#8211; and I&#8217;m going places. Like right now! If you need me, I&#8217;ll be down by the river staying in Brett&#8217;s trailer. He&#8217;s in COLLEGE.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And with that, DreamHost stormed out of her parents&#8217; lavishly-appointed townhouse, slamming the door behind her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201cKids!\u201d said Mr. and Mrs. DreamHost in unison.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Just then, DreamHost&#8217;s houseguest, Inktank, wandered in from the family room. \u201cHey guys, I think we&#8217;re out of beer. Did you want me to run to the store or\u2026were you guys\u2026or\u2026? Ooookay, I&#8217;ll go. Should I like, hit up Redbox on the way? Oblivion&#8217;s supposed to be pretty good, right? Yeah, I&#8217;ll hook that up. Be right back!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>DreamHost blossoms into well-rounded, polite girl LOS ANGELES, California\u2014September 6th, 2013\u2014DreamHost\u00ae, a
