the happy birthday thing is cute. tomorrow, as a day 2 nineteenian, i will be a real adult and change my profile back to green lantern. enjoy babs while it lasts
i generally forgot about my birthday until a week or so before, so i didn't think to make plans/invite anyone over. i was fully prepared to maybe eat a little cake and then chill in my house all day. my hs friend drove in the rain/strong wind/minor flash flood to hang out
sorry, this isnt my usual type of post. it feels a little awkward. im just really happy honestly. material objects are cool and stuff, but i really just love when people notice things. i love to talk, but i don't like talking about purely myself, so i rarely get specific gifts
my brother's dad & his gf took me out to my favorite local diner for breakfast. they live an hour away, they didn't ask my mom for the diner name, they just remembered it from the very few times i brought it up.
my brother gave me a dog plushie that looks like our childhood dog, but as frankensteins monster. i pointed it out shopping onceβ when we came back for it, it was completely sold out. idk how he even got one.
my mom & i have been rough, but she called out of work early to spend most of the day with me. she bought me the arkham games againβ the first games she ever got me. i brought up missing being able to play months ago, i didnt expect her to go out of her way to get them again.
my cousin & her bf, who i had assumed forgot my birthday this year, stayed up all night last night making me a cake when they overheard that my original cake idea wouldn't be able to be done in time bc of ingredient + time issues.
my stepmom helped with the watch, but she also went out of her way to get advice from me from her colleagues in a similar field to what im going into. i found out that she tells all of her coworkers about me whenever she can. she & my father live on the other side of the country.
awhile ago my favorite watch broke. i never got a new one, because i just couldn't find one like my old one. i didnt think anyone noticed, but my father shipped me a replacement watch after seeing i wasn't wearing it in any pictures lately.
