My birthday has been... rather uneventful thus far.
Well, obviously, if you consider that my date of birth is... right now, the 30th. Otherwise, celebrating it has been 2 cards, cupcakes, cake I baked, and dinner out.
Green didn't give me a card or a gift. The fact that he took me out to dinner wasn't anything too special, really, since we tend to eat out at least once when we're together, and that includes fast food. After eating at El Azteca once, then trying to go back on a Sunday and finding they were closed, it's been a matter of going back there on a Saturday when I've been out, and we haven't gone. So when we had a moment on Saturday between games, he said we were going out to eat at El Azteca... not even asking where I wanted to go. He didn't plan to go out on Sunday when we would've had more time (no games), he wanted to go on a day when the place was open. I guess I can't complain in that respect, since he did remember that I didn't want to get into a rut of always going to Global Buffet on Sundays.
But I gave him a present - a DVD - for his birthday, No card, since we had only known each other for about a month when his birthday came up, so I really didn't know him well enough to invest in Hallmark. On one hand, I feel at a loss, but on the other, he paid for his birthday meal and mine (and I just recently bought myself KH: Re:Chain of Memories for the PS2) so it's basically equal. And I'm too materialistic for my own good, if "cleaning" my room has taught me anything, so maybe it was just as well if he didn't give me a gift. Plus it's the end of the month, he has a convention (ICON) to attend next week, so... as much as I don't want to, I'm making excuses for him.
I didn't even get a free shot a Singers for my birthday... technically because it wasn't my birthday, I was only celebrating. That kinda sucked.
Hey, I want to live this up! It's a pseudo-platform in terms of age, and my next platform would be 30 (and that sounds even older). But.. today, I face the mother, the maternal parental unit. $5 says she's taking me to see a movie and buy dinner out, and for a gift, she's giving me clothes - a new top of some sort. Double or nothing - she made a card on the computer.
We shall see.
