Today is my birthday. Not doing anything that special. My birthday is a bummer every year it just gets worse. I'm just gonna treat it like any other day. I fought with my mom this morning. She is trippin out because my dad is getting remarried, to someone that I grew up with! Yeah, that's freakin gross. But he called me this morning and wanted to

i know what you mean about how you feel about your birthday.....and it's not that mine was really 'disappointing' per se this year.....it was just, well....anti-climatic.....i guess they just get less and less exciting as time goes by.........now THAT's disappointing, i think....i remember being so young, and that my birthday was the biggest friggin deal and everyone was nice to you and did all sorts of stuff because it was 'your day'
things have changed, eh
by the way.....i know that i really don't know any of the story about your family.....but i get some fa ily frustration of other sorts myself all the time, also living at home......if you ever need someone to bond or bitch with, let me know....i'm TOTALLY there with you to spitball our families :)
....oh yeah, and about that.....although i know nothing about your family situaion, and your father seems to be less than popular in the dynamic....i think that's so awesome and strong and grown up of you to take his call.....even if your apathetic towards the situation right now or whatever......there's a chance that when you're older, you may be glad that you did what you needed to at least keep your dad in your life....i'm sure your mom is really upset with him (it seems, i can only imagine)......but that's really great that you make your own decisions about it....he IS your dad, even if he is an idiot sometimes...and you only get one....so why not learn what you can from the defective ones, too, right?
sorry about the rambling, or i went into anything more personal than you'd care to
overall...happy birthday, and just incase......i'm around if you need some support or something.....don't we keep figuring out we have similarities.....well, i guess living at hom is just another one, eh....damn them all!!! (kidding, i knkow.....)

your message about how you think it's really awesome and strong of me to take my dad's call was so heartfelt. i didn't think that anyone would understand why i did that. but you totally did. i figure that life is too damn short to be upset all the time. yes, i'm upset with my dad, but like you said some time when i'm older i'll be glad i did let him wish me happy birthday. i'll admit that when my parents were going through the whole divorce thing, i let myself be influenced by how my mom thinks. granted, my dad isn't perfect-- but he is still my dad, and yes i do get angry with him, but sometimes you have to forgive and move on. i don't want to live with my heart full of anger and regret. hmmmph, boy i just spilled a mouthful, but i think that you totally get me; especially with all this drama that can go on living at home.
