I usually wouldn't start my own happy birthday thread, but I'm having a horrible day all ready and I need sympathy... who better to get it from than my GC friends, people I hardly even know, if at all.
Can I complain for a moment, please? I was having such a great week- got a job as a bartender, got yet another friendship that had gone bad back to better-than-normal, got a job teaching part-time at the bartending school, had a friend that has major issues realize what a jerk he's being, etc. So things were going really well...
The two things I wanted for my birthday:
1) for a friend that I have a huge thing for to come down to Riverside and hang out for the weekend. He has tons of places he's been offered to stay and he told me he'd definitely come to visit. Well, that was Wednesday... no one can get in touch with this guy; I've called him, his bros have called him, our friends have called him... no answer. Part of me wants to be really (stupid and) optimistic and hope that he's going to surprise me, but in reality, I don't think that's going to be happen.
2) for all my other friends to take time from their not busy lives to hang out with me tonight. I didn't want them to go to dinner, I don't want any presents- I just want to sit around someone's living room or backyard, BS with my friends, and maybe drink a little. That's all I wanted. I can't even get that- some chick that most of my friends barely know (and I personally don't like, but I'm nice to her anyways) has yet another volleyball game tonight and they want to go to that, then celebrate with her if they win. I went with them for her birthday dinner (I even pitched in), but they can't even combine the two events...
To top it all off, I have to take this horrendous test today so that I can apply to a credential program... not looking forward to that...
I feel horribly unloved and uncared for right now... I don't even have my family to lean on- dad went to Santa Barbara for the weekend, mom went shopping with friends, brother lives in San Francisco, and my best friend (she's family to me) also lives there... I haven't had a birthday this bad in years and I'm so depressed right now.
Can I get some sympathy from my GC friends?
