Post "Birthday"
Well, this birthday was as uneventful, if not more so, then last years. I did nothing out of the ordinary. Just watched TV, gamed, interwebed etc. Which is kinda ok by me. I barely advertised my birthday this year and, as expected, alot of people totally forgot. I usually go for quiet birthdays like this but, I dunno, one day it would be nice if someone made the effort to surprise me. The family is far too conservative and laid back to make the effort to try and organise something. And my friends wouldn't either cause... well I dunno. Maybe I just don't know enough people in one place to make it seem worth it. Anyone organising a party for me would have to do some serious research to bring all my little worlds together. And nobody wants to make that effort. Especially for me.
Actually, I was kind of surprised. Some people, who I would expect some acknowledgement from, have blanked me today. And that hurts a little. Whereas the people who did remember, even if they were prompted by facebook, did in fact make an effort to send a birthday greeting. Which was nice. Totally random people they were too, some of which I have had no contact with for years. But when they found out, they said something. Even the guys from work sent me texts and I'm convinced they don't think too much of me. But they took the time.
So yeah. A little bitter this evening. Not sure if that's the reaction of a normal person feeling a little let down, or if I'm just being an ass. After all, if I'd gone around the last few weeks pointing out my impending 23rd, perhaps then.
Ah whatever. I'm just as bad. I know i've forgot friends birthdays in the past. Human nature I guess. I don't want to think about this anymore. I feel sick enough as is.
I got a toaster and kettle as expected XD And some money. And that OTHER book by Tolkien which I forgot the title of. Children of Hemp or something *shrug* And a set of saucepans for making delicious foods. My room is now less spacious then ever. God I wanna move now.
I has tomorrow off. I'm gonna try finish Bioshock. It is indeed, a very good game. As is FF6A. But now I must sleep.
