Today is my Birthday Eve! Yay! Go me! JS brought me flowers. Lovely pink and orange roses. The puppy is being nice tonight. It’s a great day. I already got my parents gift….lots and LOTS of Christmas decorations/ornaments and some pretty new make up and brushes. YAY! I love presents. PRESENTS. FOR ME. AND THEN PRESENTS FOR CHRISTMAS. Woo-hoo!
It’s been an interesting few days in WonderLand. Some interesting family dynamics, that I don’t want to get into too much. Suffice it to say that some extended family doesn’t really like me much yet still invites me to functions. It’s odd. Add to that they’re, well, Republican (with a capital R, because, Holy Fuck are they ever Republican). And me? Well, I’m not, but I also don’t care; people have different opinions and that’s OK. But there is some huge issue with Focus on the Family (AAAAAAAKKKKK!!!!) sending around a petition and I didn’t want to sign it and everyone thought I was Satan. Good times. As John said, don’t Republicans (again, with the capital R, so you lower-case-republicans chill out) have better things to do, like stem cells to save, movies to boycott, or homeless people to ignore?
It’s also been the 10 year mark of my craziest time of my crazy period…when I took an overdose of drugs and was on a psych ward for a week (I got out on my 18th Birthday). I tend to get reflective this time of year, in a good way, I think. Reflecting on it makes me so grateful for the happiness I have now. It ensures that I don’t take my peace of mind for granted. It reminds me that I have come SUCH a long way in life. So while I may feel sad sometimes, overall, it’s a Good Thing.
OK, well, dinner’s almost ready and I have some wine to pour.
If you wanna send me birthday gifts, just leave a comment and we’ll figure something out.
