Topic: Birthdays Suck
Well,
There's an hour and about 30 minutes left of my birthday.

I hate them. I hate being the age I am without having had any type of long lasting (past 13 months) relationship. I hate not having a family and feeling like a failure because I'm still alone.
And I hate expecting people to remember today.

It's not like they don't know. Plenty of them do. But unless the topic comes up in conversation a couple of weekend before hand, they just don't bother to remember. "Oh, I'm not good with stuff like that.", "You know I thought of you.", "I had one for you."...
Well thats lovely and all but it doesn't take away the feeling of being alone that goes on here. I hope you had fun on my day but it sure wasn't fun here.

Mom remembered and for once we had a pleasant day not filled with drama. Steve remembered as did Char. That be about it. Kind of depressing that in the rest of the world, as many people as have shared the celebration with me, no one wrote it down, put it in reminders or had it on their calendar.

One hour and 28 minutes
