birthdays

My birthday is friday.
One thing you have to know is that birthdays are VERY important in my family. We go ALLLL out and have a dinner and give presents and birthday wishes. I grew up in highschool receiving so many baked goods from everyone that I could never finish without spreading the wealth to my fellow class mates.
Believe it or not, I don't believe that birthdays are just about presents.
I think birthdays are a time when it's your day. A birthday is one day out of the year that is yours. I just want a birthday filled with birthday wishes and surrounded by the people I love. That is all I want. I just want people to hang out with me and not give me a moment to myself.
Of course the presents make me happy, but it is the thought that goes into the presents. The fact that someone planned and took time out of their day to do something just for you is the best part. I love it when someone gives me a present and it has mabey a memory behind it or a reason I need it so badly, for example, someone gives gives you deoderant because of that one time you were at the gym and someone made a face next to you and probably thought you smell.. it's funny.
as for plans on my birthday......
class. lunch at houstons with my mom and gram. guitar shopping. dinner with dad. performance. get crunk!
everyone should come!

Boys

Ok so I thought girls were confusing but now I am not so sure..

Girls: ( no offense, I am included)
Girls are bitchy, catty, self conscious, and annoying.
I used to think this about girls when I was in highschool and elementary school because I never hung out with girls. I thought they were over dramatic and made a big deal out of things. and that isn't my style. So I hung out with guys all the time. ALL THE TIME. I hung out with guys because they had the same attitude: layback and just let it go. I thought that that kind of attitude was the kind that everyone needed to live by. just let it go and get on with it. But now that attitude has bitten me in the ass.
I like a guy.
You would think after telling him, " Hey, I like you" and he says it back, that things would get on track and just move along? OH NO. not this guy. hasn't called, no means of communication was sent throught us for a good two weeks. ( that's a longtime in girl years)
What happened to old fashioned guys? the kind of guys that would open a door for you, fix things, and ask YOU on a date, and pamper you with cute notes or just a phone call? what happened to getting pursued? The only time I see that now is with my best friend. And he's gay! ( no offense Jody, your momma raised you right)
I just don't understand.
So now that I didn't get a call or at least a hello from the guy I liked, I have moved on. I am not going to call him and be like " Hey can you ask me out now?" no. that is a man's job.
BUT some women like to take charge, and I respect that. But ladies, I was raised southern and I was taught to let the guy ask me out and not the other way around.
Now there is a new guy.
I don't think I like him but all my friends think it's a go.
He is cute, but mysterious. I haven't had any experience with mysterious guys so this might be a challenge. I usually go for the straight forward just because I take signals differently than fellow human beings. For example, a guy who is in my class will be like " Hey Blythe!" wink wink.
other people's interpretation: " oo he might be interested!"
my interpretation: I smile back and act like I have a snaggle tooth.
(sigh)
I have some problems.
You kow it's bad when your family gets involved.
my aunt said " Yeah I know a boy who lives in slidell and he liked movies of musicals and stuff. mabey ya'll can get together or something?"
NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!Jesus H Christ!
Just because he like musicals that are movies, doesn't mean he likes musicals.

"That's why they call them crushes. If they were easy, they would call them something else."
