For a long string of years, it would rain on my birthday. August was hot and bright seemingly every day except the 12th. Now, I'm not saying I particularly LIKE August weather in the first place, but the dreariness that comes with intermittent hazy rain on top of sticky heat is palpable.
Not that we were ever big birthday bash people, I've noticed my family just doesn't care anymore. It's trickled down to where Mom and Ryan had dinner with me someplace because we had a coupon. Dad gave me some cash in a bank envelope and an old license plate of his a few days later. Whee?

[re-reads comment] Um. Clarification! I'm not trying to compare suckiness (but you'd totally win if I did). I'm just feeling the disillusionment. [feels it]
You sound like you need one. I thought you were older than me for some reason. It looks though that you are about 7 months younger than me. Cool. :) I hope you have a great big fun birthday.

I do know what that 1/2 bday party meant. I just set the bar so high for future gatherings. Just wait until 3/26/07 ok? I'll try to do what we discussed over the phone...it so needs to happen.

I thought I was too, weird. That's why I shouldn't do math when drunk.

On a side note - how does one forget a whole year? 1999 - oh it was tragic. http://fairegirl69.livejournal.com/5176.html
