November 25th

So yeah, it's my birthday. I want to thank everybody who wished me a happy birthday and a great day and everything. I appreciate it, I do really.

Though to be honest, I'm just not really in the celebratory mood. Having a birthday that falls around Thanksgiving means that there's never any of my friends to celebrate with. Can't celebrate before thanksgiving break because everybody's busy with projects and midterms, can't celebrate during because everybody's gone home for the holiday, can't celebrate after because finals are coming up that or most people just don't realize I even had a birthday over the break. My parents try to encourage me to enjoy it and celebrate it with friends and try to throw a party but to me, birthdays are always kind of lonely.

Today was really not all that different. My parents came up to visit and we had lunch, that was nice. The only other celebratory thing I did was drink by myself the night before, not that I didn't try to get a hold of some people...but in the end I only had Johnny Walker to keep me company and he's a poor audience.

And now, I'm heading off to work. Yeah, I'm going to work on my birthday. Not that it really matters, the truth is, I kind of expected this. Today is just like any other day...

To me, today's just another Tuesday...just with more cake.
