My sister called me today to ask me what I wanted for my birthday and i told her that I have no fucking idea. Because I don't. I don't really want anything you can buy in a store. I want to not work this Friday so I can see my friends that are leaving for the summer/ for life, I want to go to Fort Erie and sit on my front lawn and watch the lake, I want to swim, I want to eat about 58 donuts and I want to play rugby without being sore for five days.
But really what i really want is for it to be better than last year. Sharing a birthday with someone is usually really fucking cool. When we were younger it meant two cakes, a cool breakfast and signs and decorations on our lockers and car and candy and goofy presents and big, year-end ridiculously huge and messy college parties. But last year ended in tears, a family fight in a parking lot and some dirty words. This year doesn't look like a thrill-fest but it shouldn't end in crap like last year. Correction, it won't happen again.
Fort Erie in three weeks. One wish coming true.
And I found my old friend Kurt on Myspace. He's unlike anyone I've ever known, by far. Say what you will about myspace but it is cool to find old friends you haven't seen in forever that need finding.
Congratulations to everyone who is graduating and/or finishing your first year of grad school.
