So, my sister, who has friends and a boyfriend in Miami, went to a party. I was a bit bitter- which, I know, I shouldn't be, because my sister is social and it's not like I hate the idea of spending New Years with my parents (really. It's not the greatest thing, but I can handle it)- but whatever. She's seventeen, she can handle a new years away from her family.

Mom and I had a fair amount to drink, USA has had a Burn Notice marathon on, so it's been a pretty decent night. Midnight approaches, and my dad joins us, and we're all sitting on the loveseat. We're counting it down, and all of the sudden we hear from the front porch "HAPPY NEW YEARS!"

My sister and her boyfriend ran fifteen minutes- well over a mile- to get home by midnight. It was honestly the closest thing in my life to a movie moment. I was like "THAT'S MELI" and my parents were like, what, she's not here... and I open the door and there she is! It was awesome.

(And then I got all emotional, because I've been drinking and I get emotional before I leave. I was crying watching Little Women earlier today, which is absurd.)

ANYWAY. HAPPY NEW YEARS!

It really was! How was your New Year's Eve?

Also, when are you getting back up here?

It was okay. Mariam came over and we watched X-Files. And then my brother and his ex-girlfriend came over and we all just hung out.

Monday!

Happy 2010!!!! Just seeing that date makes me think that there should be hovercars in the streets and robots cleaning our homes. C'mon, future, what's the hold up?

As for your sister, that is delightful!

The other day, my sister said "it's 2010. This is the future. Where are our flying cars?" Also, I would settle for a robot that just hung out looking beautiful *cough*Red*cough*

My sister is delightful! That's the adjective that best describes her.

Happy 2010 to you too!

And bizarrely, I just stumbled upon this ONTD_Lost post a few minutes ago, in which the poster laments the lack of flying cars. (http://community.livejournal.com/ontd_lost/253323.html)

We've been promised flying cars for years!! 2010s, you've got a lot to deliver. Get cracking.

(PS: sisters are a wonderful invention. I should know; I am one. Teehee. I also have 2, and love them dearly)
