As usually happens on days like this, I got in trouble for not having a card/gift/saying "Happy X" in a timely manner. I always forget that other people like having a big deal made on their birthdays and other days because I don't like that stuff on my special days. To me, stuff is just stuff and cards are awkward [My brain when I get a card: "Oh, a card...So. How long until I can throw this out?"]; spending time with my friends and family is all I really ever want. Also, I never got the memo when I turned old enough to get my own stuff for people, so I'm not in the habit of doing so. Excuses, excuses, I know.
I got in double trouble because I didn't get my Big Bro a card or anything for his graduation. But I did go to the commencement ceremony that started at 8:30 in the morning and kept his girlfriend company in the stands, so that has to count for something.
I finally got new rechargeable batteries, so I'll probably put up a picture-post sometime in the next couple days. I'm excited because I want to show you all my latest ear accessory, but mostly I want to document my thumb before the burn is totally healed. Since the blister broke it's been healing up pretty good, but it's still fairly nasty and it itches like the dickens.
6 more days at home, 8 more days until my summer job starts!
*day later*
Check out my nasty thumb!! It's been two weeks since the burn, one week since it popped, and I'm actually surprised at how much better it's looking even since I last unwrapped it.
I really wish you all could have seen it when it was at it's huge blister stage, but this'll do.

FYI: I have a family member who is 27 years old and "never got the memo" either. He never gets anybody anything for any occasion. Not even his own parents. Every body thinks he's a selfish prick. Except for his parents, they just make excuses for him.
Commencement starting at 8:30AM??? That's just obscene! I don't think I've ever been to one that started before noon!
Nah oh dude, ours started at 8 AM or something like that. I just remember getting up obscenely early and being pissed about it too.
As a guy, no one ever expects me to remember to buy cards and stuff, if I do it's like i've solved world hunger or something.
that's a knarly burn. Hope you chopped up some Aloe plants !
anon: so i have 6 years and a sex change to go before people think im a prick? great!
os: his university graduates by school; i guess business got the short end of the stick.

mnwhr: my brother's girlfriend got all the stuff that he got credit for! and i didn't rat him out! unfair.
heff: i've been keeping it covered in all sorts of healing balms.

No, more like 1 year or 4 special occasions that you show up empty handed to before your written off as a self absorbed cunt. Oh and even though grandma never says it, trust me, she will be thinking it.
Did'nt think that had to be SPELLED out? but goes to show!
