Birthday Week is over
Yes, my birthday is a weeklong celebration. Don't hate. Just because you didn't think about making your birthday a weeklong celebration doesn't mean you should take it out on me for being smarter than you.
So Tuesday, May 11, 2004 was a good day, I turned 22 and nobody cared. Hell, even I didn't care so i don't blame anyone else for not caring. Ok, so I shouldn't say nobody cared, the people that I cared to have care about my bday cared. Some jersey friends came up Tuesday and bunch of us had dinner together. It was a relatively good birthday day.
The Official Birthday Dinner
So for that whole week, I planned out my birthday. I really didn't know what I wanted to do until after my real birthday ended anyway. Party? Travel? Pseudo Holiday Street March? No, it was all too complicated and 22 wasn't really a landmark by any means. I settled for a birthday dinner.
It worked out really well. I invited about 30 people, knowing that not everyone would make it. Don't worry, if you were invited and you couldn't make it, you have now been marked on my "I hate you forever" list. If you weren't invited, then hey, you were either a) too far away, b) I assumed you wouldn't make it, or c) no longer in my daily routine of friends (as in, I haven't seen you or chilled with you in the longest time so it would have been awkward to randomly invite you and force you to give me a birthday present), or d) would have felt awkward around the people I did invite or e) would have made the people I invited feel awkward to be around you.
Thanks guys!
Thanks to everyone who gave me gifts, I really do love everything (except for the ones that I hated). I know to some of you I was pretty blunt about how I didn't like your gifts, but you have to realize that I do truly truly appreciate your effort. It's really the thought that counts, not what was given, and the fact that you put forth the effort to try to get me something that I would appreciate will always be remembered.
To put in another way, it is a way for me to remember my 22nd Birthday forever. Just that alone makes it a good present.
I'll be sure to return the favor during your birthdays.
