the annual mopey post
Okay, so I went out of my way this year to have a party not on NYE so that people might actually come and I could have a "normal" birthday party. 6 people turned up. about 30 said they were coming, 15 of whom flaked out at the last minute (some for legitimate reasons, some for crap ones). It was still a nice party, but was really chill and quiet, even for me. In part I did have the party to motivate me to clean, which I did with flying colors, so again -not a complete waste. I guess it just bugs me that all I want is to spend my birthday with people I care about and they can never seem to manage it, no matter how out-of-my-way I go to make it convenient for others.
Today (my actual birthday) is going to be fun - we do have good plans - brunch with my 'rents, a swing by the NYE contra dance and then the Big Damn Band at the Bluebird.
Anyway, I'll stop being mopey now.
I'm just dreading next year already - it's the big 3-0, and I'd rather not spend it at home in my PJs because my friends are too lame to hang out with me on one of the few times of the year that I actually have free time.
