It's my party and I'll cry if I want to...

So last night was my birthday party...the last birthday of my student career, the last birthday I can get completely ridiculous on and blame it on school, once you're out of school and you get super drunk people think you have a problem and I really don't want to go to Betty Ford ya know?

So the weekend started out with some potential...I had to go through a very painful family dinner, my mother has way too many mood swings and instead of just saying she can't/doesn't want to do something she huffs around and makes everyone uncomfortable...it's pretty bullshitty if you ask me...like she can't put on a phony face and smile for one day, like it's my birthday for cripe's sakes...and instead she's slamming drawers and cabinets in the kitchen instead of just going out to eat like I wanted

The next day was my party...80s theme so I ordered slap bracelets and shutter shades, bought nerds, fun dip, bubblicious and now and laters...grabbed some 80s movies to play in the background (I can totally relate to Molly Ringwald in 16 candles in this instance...except without the Jake Ryan love interest) and created an 80s itunes mix

So I get ready to leave my house to pick up Jenn because we're going to get ready together and decorate and just have fun...and she bails because she says she's nto feeling well...but this is 10 minutes before I leave to get her...she says she's going to rally and then come over....which never happens but I do get a text saying she owes me dinner next week...

So then I am alone at the loft prepping and watching Girls Just Want To Have Fun (SJP has some serious caterpillar eyebrows in the 80s yeesh)and Chad texts me to say the chances of him even showing up are looking pretty slim...I ask why and he says because he has homework and he hasn't done it (now mind you he went out Friday night to go curling with his buddies in Canada and apparently that was fine...like my birthday is one day a year...seriously? So he promises to try to stop for a drink or two...which also doesn't happen...I don't even get the "sorry text"
To make matters worse, everyone is asking where my new love interest is...I think it's the publicity that makes me feel so upset...

Drew doesn't show up either, although he sent me the text this morning saying he was a bad friend and he owed me dinner and fun on Allen. \

Cisco (aka 5 hour coffee guy) also doesn't show up...he sends the text this morning that he was so sick last night from whatever he had for dinner, but can he see me this week for coffee because he's in town until the 8th

So yes some people did show up, but it's like the people I really wanted to come did not...I had fun...kind of...a few of my friends KG, B, and Chris were really low key adn sat at the table and looked mopey. When I said something they were like we're really tired we shouldn't even be out...like WTF

Liz, Michelle and Lia were entertaining though...I missed them...since the whole Sara hates me and wants me dead kind of deal I haven't really seen them...however I will see Sara later this month at Michelle's bridal shower, which should be good (or awful...we'll see)

So all in all, this birthday has been pretty lame...I'm glad it's over
