My birthday is Saturday. I'm not really looking forward to it. It's difficult when your birthday is this late in the year, especially where mine falls which is on or around Thanksgiving and also incredibly close to finals. This makes planning things difficult. This makes people back out of doing something with me for my birthday. This makes people unable to do anything with me on my birthday.
Not that I blame them, I mean come on, it's Thanksgiving. I'm not going to ask my friends to ditch their families and come spend the day with me on Thanksgiving and lord knows no one wants to go out the day after unless they're shopping.
IDK MAN IDK.
I'm happy, but I'm still dragging my feet. I'm excited, but I don't expect anything.
I never do expect anything from people. I don't expect people to buy me birthday gifts or remember when it is without the help of Facebook, I don't expect people to invite me places, I don't expect people to offer to do things for me or with me. I'm not sure if I've always been this way or if this trait just sort of developed over the years.
I don't know, but whatever. Once again, I expect nothing. It's easier too. It makes it sting a little less when your friends - good friends, close friends, best friends - forget.
