Birthday

So my birthday had its ups and downs but honestly was once again disappointing and no one was really all that surprised.

For one, some of my own relatives - because they were down here specifically for Joanna's graduation party - completely forgot that it was my birthday.  So that was cool.

But I did have a fun time with Summer (who is my cousin's two year old daughter), actually.  Like she and Callie and my parents made the ups happen.  I took her in the pool with me, and some of us has been playing with the water bomb things, squeezing them on our heads (which I had deemed an 'egg crack' years ago and it has stuck since) and so she started doing that, and we were having a good time.  Then later before I left for movies I was holding her upside down and everything and she enjoyed that.  She's a cutie.  I'm usually not so good with kids, but I really enjoy her.

And my parents did buy me my favourite meal from my favourite place (it is a pasta pomodoro dish from a local Italian restaurant) and got me the ice cream cake I love (basically just chocolate chip ice cream from Ice Cream Cottage) which was a huge hit with everyone.  They made sure that I knew they didn't forget that it was my birthday, which I appreciated.

But like I said: getting a lecture from one of Joanna's friends kind of set me off.  I really was not happy at all about that and even said something to her about it, telling her to make sure it didn't happen again.

And then I found out that Carl decided to go to Taylor Swift (in Pittsburgh, no less) instead of come down after I invited him and whatnot, so that's cool.

And guy never wished me a happy birthday, even though he knew it was it and I'm like "okay that's cool too I guess."

And then when Brendan came to the movies with me, he didn't offer to pay for me?  I mean seriously I usually don't get all weird about being treated and stuff but I kind of would like the offer on my birthday.  That would be kind of nice.  Especially since I had been saying for some time now that I have had a string of lackluster birthdays and everything.  But he just paid for him and his girlfriend.  So yeah.

All of this made me miss Anisha and Karen even more than I already do, which I didn't think was possible.  Actually, Anisha's already saying that we will have a "Birthday 2.0," which I kind of appreciate.

So I'm kind of sad right now but I'm also not surprised.

And in my sad I started thinking about the ex, which made me sadder.

So I'm just going to go to sleep.  And try and think of the fun I had with Callie and Summer.
