I spent most of this morning and afternoon sulking, icing my heel, and starting Dr. Norrell and Jonathan Strange because I want to read it and it's too massive to stick in my duffle bag for the return flight to Boston. I'll get back to The Amber Spyglass eventually. I suppose.

Then I went out to dinner to Noodles & Company and Starbucks with my younger sister, Sarah.

So by the time I was heading to my sister, Rachel, and her boyfriend, Stephen's apartment with my younger sibling, I was beyond miserable. And then I had a hell of a time figuring out how to get there.

But once I was there, I had two eight week old kittens to play with. They are seriously the cutest things ever. Brother and sister. Someone abandoned them on the steps inside my sister's building and her boyfriend insisted they keep them.

We kept them entertained while we played Mario Party 8 on the Wii. And then we made plans to go to a hookah bar in the city. Despite random drama --we're a very high maintenance bunch, you see. -- and some bickering, we ended up heading there at 10:30 and having a really great time.

I shared a blueberry hookah with pretty much everyone. We also had falafel, hummus, and baba ganoush. And there were Arabian music videos which pleased me immensely. It's just amazing the buzz I get from the hookah. I seriously forgot how much it helped me mellow out. I mean, it's only flavored tobacco and coals, but it's one of the greatest things ever.

In conclusion, as much as they drive me nuts sometimes? I love my sisters. And although not a single thing went according to plan today? It ended up being a really nice day.

Thank goodness.

Now I'm off to bed so I can function tomorrow morning.

First post in IJ. I'm also cruelest_month on LJ and JF.

I spent most of the day at my grandparents' house which was nice. I enjoy seeing them and I love helping my grandmother in her kitchen.

I also managed to read all of The Subtle Knife and I've started The Amber Spyglass. I am starting to enjoy some aspects of the series, but I hate how miserable everything is over all. It's just not a happy series. I am looking forward to the movie for The Golden Compass though. Hopefully that will make me feel better about some things. Maybe.

Other than that, I'm severely lacking the ability to motivate myself to write. I think I might try some prompts or forcing myself to write shorter fics since the DW one still needs an ending. I need some inspiration. Or suggestions. Something.

I still have no idea what I should or shouldn't do in regards to the LJ situation. Probably nothing for now, but I think I'll keep updating my JF. Crossposting to all the other random journals I've made seems somewhat pointless right now though since thus far no one on my flist has moved away from LJ yet.
