(no subject)
so, my birthday is only a few short days away, and as you may be aware, my birthday tends to be suckage. i've been trying to launch a preemptive strike on that by making plans with friends, and my mom has pissed all over any attempt i've made to make plans actually ON my birthday itself.
and so i've been trying for almost a week to talk my mom into letting me do what *I* want on my birthday (for the first time ever) as opposed to having dinner with her. because erin is playing at the gramercy in new york actually ON my birthday itself, and even though i'm going to see her with linds in just a few weeks, wouldn't it be terribly awesome if i could go to a show with my friends on my birthday instead of just having blah dinner with my mom? especially since i'm going to see my mom (omgearly) on saturday because we have hair appointments besides?
and of course i'm going to be twenty-seven fucking years old, and i can't stand up to my mom and just say, "mom, thank you for giving birth to me, but it's MY birthday, and i want to make my OWN plans." i came close, today, i said to her, "i just want to say that there's about a 25% chance that i won't be able to do anything with you actually ON thursday," and she's all, "OH MY GOD WHY HOW DARE YOU?!?!" and i was like, because i may have plans with my friends. but the thing is, why should i have to TELL her that for it to be okay? shouldn't i be able to just make whatever plans *I* want to make for my birthday?? at 27 years old, do i seriously need to run it by mommy first?!
apparently so, because there seriously is only about a 25% chance that i'll end up at the show thursday night. because if i do, i'll be feeling guilty all night, and who the hell wants that? and also because i've planned a potentially kickass day/night on friday with jenna and the gang, and even though of COURSE i could do something both days, i may just give mom the day itself and leave the awesomeness to the following day.
i mean, it's not like the day itself has ever been totally kickass and awesome anyway. so why start now?
in other news, here's the link to the amazon wishlist, in case anyone was wondering and didn't already have it. (i doubt anyone was, but you know, just covering bases. LOL)
i'm sure i had other things to say, but they're escaping me at the moment. so ciao!
mwahs.
