It’s my party and I’ll cry if I want to

by Heidi on April 13, 2008

I want to write about how much fun last night was. I want to write about how I had this great party and played skee ball and all my friends were there. Unfortunately, i can’t write that post.

Somewhere around 9:30 my friends kind of bailed. Somewhere around 11:30 I fell asleep, after boyfriend and I got home at 1030 from a delicious dinner on 8th street at Las Placitas where we sat outside and I pretty much froze my ass off.

Prior to that though, we had gone to get beer. Boyfriend picked up an awesome ice cream cake during dinner (the perks of sitting outside?) We went to a wine tasting, we went for a long walk, we slept in and he made me an awesome brunch.

Somewhere between Friday night and now, a friend of mine made me out to be the bad guy in the demise of our friendship which is funny because I see the exact opposite. And perhaps saying “too much has happened between us” is the easy way to describe it. There’s a lot of back history here. I’m not going to get into it, it’s not worth it but uhhh me yelling? Because I get an email at 5pm saying someone can’t be here for some mundane reason? Should not…hurt you. When ummm…I’ve lost weekends waiting for you with no phone call. Just because one learns to call to say they can’t make it? Does not a good friend make. I’ve written about it here. In case you want some background. Not much has really changed since then in case you were wondering. I guess this answers the question about friendship break ups.

I’m angry. I’m bitter. I’m resentful. But most of all? I’m pissed that it’s being blamed on me.

Did I mention I got my first anonymous comment? ha! I sent an angry email back calling them a douchebag for posting anonymously. Cowardly bastard.

And it’s still my birthday. Says me.

So? I went to Target. Like any bummed out girl would. I got a cute pair of pink capri pants, a new pair of tan capri pants (i need them for work), two new bras, some make up, a couple of other things and some food. Then I went to CVS after getting off the metro and got a couple of other things.

I had a couple of good conversations with sister, boyfriend, and J – a friend from college who I found out sent me my mystery flowers but sent them to my old house. So I don’t have them yet but wow! Two bouquets of flowers? That’s freakin’ awesome. I adore her and might be going up to Boston over memorial day weekend to see her for her wedding shower! Yay! Impromptu second bachelorette for J!!! :)

Ugh, now i’m watching season 8 of ANTM with freakin’ Jaslene. Gawd she annoys the crap out of me. Latin America’s next top model my ass hole whore.

I really should go to church to make myself feel better. I know I will but I don’t…really feel like it. Oh well. I’m going to go eat some of my birthday cake that boyfriend managed to melt…he put it in the fridge instead of the freezer last night when we went to bed. Booo. Silly boyfriend. A for effort though! He knows how much I love cake :)

    So sorry your birthday didn’t turn out like you wanted :( At least Target is always there for retail therapy! And ice cream cake! If ice cream cake can’t cheer you up, I don’t know what can.

    I swear, it’s something in the air today.

    I’m sorry you had to deal with that :(

    I’m sorry your birthday weekend didn’t go as planned. But at least there were some good points :) Plus, you’re awesome! Congrats on your first anonymous comment :)

    Cry, Bitch, Moan…. It’s your right. Sorry your b-day didn’t totally pan out the way you expected. But Happy Belated Anyway!

    Birthdays are supposed to be the best day of the year, it’s anti-american when they don’t work out. I’m sorry your day wasn’t as amazing as you hoped…I say you continue your birthday through out the week in order to collect all the goodness you should have rec’d on Saturday.

    Yay for Target, ice creams, and flowers…several of my favorite things!

    oh man, i’m so sorry your birthday wasn’t as fabulous as you hoped for!! I was also stood up by a person I thought was a close friend. At least you got a phone call. I got nothing, she just didn’t show up. I got a short message the next day after i called her on it. haven’t heard from her since. :(

  • Clueless Cat

    Oh hon, I’m sorry!! That really sucks. I know how you feel cause this total bitch I lived with during Uni stole money off everyone and then tried to blame me for it!! Luckily everyone knew it was her and not me, phew!!

    The flowers your bf gave you are gorgeous :)

    Boo for disappointment, but yay for picking up the pieces, melted or otherwise, and still seeing the good.

    And again I say, when did it happen that adult friends could just turn bitchy? Because we aren’t on the playground anymore. I’ve gone through something similar, and it’s as aggravating as it is painful.

    The celebration must go on! More birthday, all around :)

    Awwww. Sorry it wasn’t totally fabulous, but it still sounds like you had lots of fun.

    And I’m sure Target bade you feel MUCH better :) :)

    Pretty flowers!

    I’m sorry that your birthday wasn’t the best, but you are right…It is your birthday and you can cry or be upset about it if you want to. No one is stopping you, and I would do the same hting!

    i have a sad history of my birthday just never turning out the way i had hoped. i’ve since stopped hoping, but really… yay for boyfriends and ice cream cakes! and flowers!

    friend breakups suck, i’ve been averaging at least one every two years or so since i graduated high school. boo.

    Happy Late Birthday! Sorry about your friend, sounds like we could have the same friend. I think I am going to have to breakup with her too…its going to suck because we work together.
    I have had crappy birthday’s before as well. Keep your chin up.

    What night are you going to that shopping thing? I am going Thursday night.

    Boo anonymous commenter and asshole friends. My “friends” did that on my 21st birthday and I never forgot it. Definitely made me realize that they’re not real friends.
    Did you get the card I sent yet?

    Happy post birthday! Sorry the plans went wrong and that you were stuck watching Jaslene. She really shouldn’t have won. She’s just…ugh.

    But hooray for birthday cake! I love birthday cake. I love it ALMOST as much as I love birthday cake…ice cream. Yum!

    I went to target yesterday too. I bought two pairs of cute flats which were on sail (one tiger print, the other patent leather with little butterflies on them) and I bought the limited edition strawberry milkshake oreos. They are positively orgasmic. I haven’t seen them at Publix (supermarket) yet but I’m so glad I found them. No, I have not eaten the whole box yet but it’s hard not to.

    P.S. Sorry, Target ran away with me. Happy belated birthday! Sorry to hear about the friendship woes, though.

    Ugh, what a bummer to deal with cruddy friends on your birthday weekend!!

    I’m glad boyfriend took care of you, though!
