my online journal has gone crazy. first of all, it thinks that yesterday was the 23rd. that's an enigma. secondly, it did not import matt's post from yesterday into my friends folder. what is going on? i thought computers were supposed to be smarter than me. looks like that is an untrue assumption. so....poor mattie. it's his birthday and he has to work. although i was really looking forward to spending the day with him, this gives me the opportunity to plot and execute nice things to do for him while he is away for a few hours. unfortunately, my bank account will not allow for the showering of gifts until friday. that makes me sad. rent is such a pain in my ass. it is so depressing to realize exactly how many hours i spend at work just to maintain a roof over my head. i have no room to complain, i suppose. rent is rather inexpensive in a big picture sort of way. too bad it's so incredibly inconvenient. anyway, i suppose the boy will have to settle for a showering of affection since the gifts will have to be forthcoming. he tried to pull the whole "birthdays are so depressing" speech last night which i promptly debated. no way am i going to let the day of his birth go uncelebrated. don't worry, i'm not going to pressure him to have any fun or anything (god forbid). i just insist on taking notice of it and allowing him to call the shots of the occassion. he is so ridiculously selfless that he refuses to be the focus of any one day. we'll see about that. mad love.
