So, I'm a drama princess. Not quite good enough to ever declare myself queen, but I'm learning. ;)
The birthday was... well, it wasn't a disaster, but I will beat the living tar out of any of my local friends if they dare to say I have to do anything to help them celebrate their birthdays. If you're not local you're excused from the tar beating.
First I woke up at midnight all giddy. I was actually thinking "heyo! Maybe this'll be like last year, which had a really shitty moment or two, but when I look back on it, I smile and ignore that moment." But.. no. Oh, the midnight run was grand. But it couldn't last forever.
Woke up again at 8:30 to the sound of my brother [a drama queen if ever there was one] yelling at his ex girlfriend who also lives here. I won't go into details, but I was stunned awake. One day I'm going to start shouting at no one at all until someone in that room realizes the walls are paper thin! I can hear almost every single word when someone goes off on a tangent. Geez.
Flipped through TV channels. Found plenty of semi interesting things, but nothing I could manage to commit to. Until I found Jon Stewart on The Nanny! *purrs* Even if the rest of the day sucked, JS is most noteworthy.
Laaaa. Skip my breakfast, my nap, and head straight to checking TS3 [which, other than the CP, has grown on me] and then the brother begins bitching about me to my mother. Loudly. Again, paper thin walls, and the accoustics mean if you bitch at the table and I'm in the office, I can hear you, fools. ;_; So, I'm feeling about an inch high, and ready to just curl up and say fuck the rest of the day, when Cass shows up.
I should point out that I love my friends, but sometimes they just annoy me and it takes me ages to finally get rid of my annoyance and truly enjoy their company. Especially when they're dating trash and while he's not physically present, she mentions him so much that spiritually he's hogging all the oxygen in every room in the house. ...sigh... On the other hand, she kept me from thinking and I won a quarter [I bet she'd show up and Mom bet she wouldn't, only because I was going to bet that way.] and showed her the wonder of Weekenders. Which made her laugh, so not all bad.
Taking her to catch her bus was, however. Rain, thunder, lightning, and so windy that trying to open the truck's door might have cost me a limb had I been one of those super fast people. [the wind slammed it closed] Driving back was even more nervewracking because right after we crossed the northbridge, it began pouring again. Did mom slow down? No. So of course some jackass in a black car [completely invisible until you're close enough to hit it] turns left, thus crossing right in front of us. Eeeeee.
Laaaa. Liquor store trip, uneventful, except realizing that my face broke out horribly and I was probably scaring small children. On the other hand, no cameras came near me so no one will ever know. Muhahahaha!
blah. Skip to the presents [Jake! grateful I am! amazed at hollylicious!] and cake. I walked away with:
Birds of Pray- Live from my brother.
2 Buffy comics from Jackie [aaaa! parts 2 & 3 from a 4 part series! slayer, interrupted! must find the cash for the other two.]
2 candles from mom.
a purple carebear that lies when it says it's friend bear. lies!
2 Fearless books from mom & dad
Of course, then my father had to go and say something that made me panic and think "aaaa! i'm being kicked out!" but "next year when you come visit" could be wishful thinking. Unless I'm destined to either find a fantabulous job, marry rich, OR win the lottery. Hrmm.
Mmm. Ice-cold pepsi.
