I'm turning 27 this month. So, I ask a few of my favorite people to join me at my favorite restaurant for dinner. No big thing, just dinner.

"Oohh, it's a Tuesday night. . . oohh, it's a long drive. . . oohh, I can't afford it. . ."

What part of "birthday" don't you bastards understand?


So, I cancelled the dinner. And I was nice about it, and I've been all outwardly understanding and "uh huh, totally, no problem, I'll probably turn 28 next year, maybe I'll catch ya then". But in reality, my feelings are fucking hurt!

I don't think I'm some bad person! I try to take really good care of my friends/family! I smell nice! I attend their birthday celebrations, at their yucky restaurants, far from where I live! What the hell?!


So, I'm coming to the org to pout and moan. Thanks for listening.

i hate to tell you...but it gets worse

Mazerati said:

Yeah, I was afraid of that. I'm to that point where I only get a real birthday every 10 years, huh?

Sweet... You and I don't fly out of Minne til late Sunday... May I take you to a birthday dinner?

Muse2NOPharaoh said:

What IS it with you and making me cry?!

You're a darling woman and I love you and I would be thrilled to snag that time with you, birthday or not.

COUNT ME IN! I wouldn't miss your birthday dinner, my love. It's not about getting old, it's about getting lame. Excuses are excuses no matter the age. Love you!

when you're a teenager, you have dozens of friends
when you're under 25, you have lots of friends
when you're under 30, you have a close circle
when you're over 30, you don't want to be bothered with none of them motherfuckas cuz, your boss is coming down on you at work, you got bills to pay, no babysitter, no money for gas and people asking you to go to dinner in the middle of a pay period on a weeknight.

don't take it personal, some quiet time alone or with a special boo and some good wne usually works out better anywhoo

You guys! You're so sweet.

Its a party!

Wow, that sucks.


Want a birthday hug?

That's LAME!!!

Birthdays are a must. Even if its an early dinner on a weeknight.

Kill them all and have a party with their corpses. Then they'll never miss a birthday.

Remember that episode of SATC where its Carrie's birthday and they all stand her up at the restaurant?

Everyone has their bad moments! They just think someone else will pick up the slack!

Ooh, can we make it a birthday lunch on that Sunday? I wanna be there but my flight leaves at 6:45.

That's super crappy. Sounds like they don't deserve you, hon. I hope you have a wonderful birthday.

Also, I think you should e-mail or call all of them and tell them that your feelings are hurt.

God damn, it's good to see something nice for a change.

That is one of the nicest gestures I've seen in a while.

That's so true!!

HereToRockYourWorld said:

maybe re-schedule for a weekend night? i don't think anyone meant to hurt you. happy birthday dear

awwwww...

I have to admit that i'm the friend you tell about an event but just know that if I don't feel like coming, I may not. My friends are so use to me its funny. They do invite me to everything and they have to let me know how this event ranks on the "importance meter".

I don't stay long either. My daughter will even say, "uh, can we stay longer than an hour....pleassseeee."

I'm one anti-social chick and it has nothing to do with age.


I think some get caught up chillin' when you get older. Ya just don't feel like it.


awful...

Then perhaps I'm a teenager.

CarrieMpls said:

Are you married with kids? Cuz that makes a difference.

gemini13 said:

No.

But that doesn't make me a teenager. lol.

CarrieMpls said:

Wanna trade?

gemini13 said:

No. That's why I don't have a husband or kids. If I wanted them I'd have them.
