Deck The Halls With Teenage Angst
The Sullen Teen has a friend spending the night–nice, polite boy, who won’t mention when he’s hungry. Fortunately, in this house everyone gets fed almost by accident, and the friend has been stuffed to the gills more than once. The Sullen Teen is excited, just like a little kid. Was I ever this hilariously fraught in my younger years?
Although I can’t blame him. Having A Friend Over is a sign that he truly belongs, and the friend’s approval of his living space is key. We’re not on our best behavior (we are, I think, fairly decent at all times) but we are all conscious of the Sullen Teen’s mood and that this is a Momentous Occasion, World-Shattering In Its Significance.
Snerk.
It’s closer to forty degrees than thirty this morning, and going outside is not nearlyt he shock it was last night. It feels much warmer than it is, mostly I suspect because of the cloud cover. I plan on spending this morning (what’s left of it) going through the Seattle photos and uploading them to Flickr. I took upwards of three hundred, but I think only fifty or so will make it through my critical eye.
In other news, our museum membership cards came yesterday. I feel like a real person now, with a museum membership and EVERYTHING. I need to go to the Egyptian exhibit with the Martian Moon Crab, Monk, and the Kiwi; plus I need to drag the Sullen Teen, the Princess, and the Little Prince. I went with Sweetcakes before I left for Seattle, and it was AMAZING. The statue of Sekhmet alone was hair-raising.
The wind is up, the clouds are here, and I am partially caffeinated. What more could a girl ask for?
Oh, I wouldn’t say no to another couple thousand words on the fifth Valentine book. We need to get through the double-cross and the empty casket, you know, as well as the first real fight between the Prince and his Eldest.
Aren’t I mean? Have a good day, Readers. Wish me luck.

You are, without a doubt, a shameless tease. lol However, that does sounds like an interesting bit for the 5th book. I mean, ole Lucifer did throttle Danny, so I would think the Eldest would want some payback….eventually.

You are the Goddess of mean. We kneel in awe and beg for a good clean fight where the Eldest might kick Lucifers ass but good! Please, oh Please!
