WHAT I DON'T LIKE ABOUT BIRTHDAYS.

yesterday was my dad's birthday. he's the big 5-0! happy birthday dad! my best...

birthdays. birthdays. birthdays. the thing i don't like about birthdays is that it's always somebody's birthday. yep, and either i miss it, or i don't know what to get them... i've resorted to giving people their gifts at odd times. forget when their birthday is, if i offer a gift, just accept it.

another problem i run into is worrying that i might buy something that someone already has. oh dear me! i can't do this. there's just something about the "perfect" gift.

on the other hand, some people are extremely easy to shop for. take my love for instance. everywhere we go, he points out things he wants. "i want that. i want that, too. no, wait, i want that!" i just make mental notes and remember what these items are. hint hint for those of you who don't do this... maybe you should start... plus there's the fact that i could scrape up a dead squirrel my roommate just ran over, stuff it in a bag and give it to him and he'd be happy as a clam and actually keep the darn smelly thing and love it just as much as if it were a "real" gift... again... hint hint to those of you who are extremely picky about getting only what you want.

let me just say this, it's my love's birthday this weekend, and i am totally looking forward to it, as it's on saturday and so i actually get to be with him on his birthday. we plan to make this "our" weekend, even though kelly's coming up so we can watch donnie darko, we're having dinner with my parents (mom and i are making him dinner ;)), my dad is coming down and wants to see me, and amir sounds sure of himself that we'll see each other... we'll just see what happens *insert evil grin here*. i'm thinking, maybe we'll just go into hiding...


by the way... my birthday is tomorrow. ;)
