Post-Birthday

[dotinthesky]

can I say how much all my livejournal friends are awesome? All of you remembered my birthday (and how could you not, after a gazillion reminders by me? *lol*)

On the other hand, I didn't get an email or phone call from my brother or dad... and, as for all of those "friends" i have in Brazil and Canada, the only ones that remembered were roguejournal and Helen (one of the first friends I made when I moved to Canada... she rocks.)

But, despite having just mentioned the above, I'm not upset with them. People forget, people have stuff going on in their lives. What annoys me is when they get upset if I forget their birthdays... come on! If you are going to forget other people's birthdays, don't give me that shit. Birthdays are not a big deal anyways. All the human cells I had when I was born are long dead. The body I have now does not resemble the body I had when I was born (apart from my eyes, i think.)

Well, I don't know about you, but I'm betting our parents are damn glad we're not the babies we used to be. Imagine changing diapers for twenty-odd years...

And you can send me penguin wishes in February, when I'm running around California trying to get tickets to a Sharks game and generally driving everyone between San Francisco and Santa Barbara insane.

Holidays. It's my birthday present to myself.

I tend to think so. I have friends in the area, and if I can't spend Halloween there (I can't, which is a total suckfest), I can sure as hell make my Bay Area buds celebrate my birthday in style.
