Life hates me today.
Alright so I had awesome plans today. I was going to get up late, go to a soul calibur tourny, come back to an evening with my family, sleep then go to work at 4AM. that's fine. My sister was also going to bring over cake and Ice Cream because no one could formally celebrate my birthday on tuesday. I Get up. Look at the clock. My mom is calling me on my cell phone. It's 9 AM. She sends me to the store and I buy a few things then help her cook. That's fine, my mom cooks awesome food and made A LOT of delicious stuff. Alright. Going alright so far. Stephan comes by and picks me up with a few friends I haven't seen in a while and we have been practicing for the tournament for a couple of days now. I start to get a sinus headache. Ok a little rough but fine. We drive all the way to game universe. go in. Find out the tourny was cancelled because on the same day there was a much bigger one in Buffalo NY and that they would have lost too many players to that. A lot of the players come out from CT for the ones in MA so they went to NY instead.
So that is when things get stupid. We decide what we want to do. Me and jimmy suggest we go to the mall since it isn't that far away. Dan and stephan don't seem to have a problem with it. So that is fine. Stephan hates malls. So he has no fun and we take one small wrong turn and it turns out we cannot turn around for another 5 miles. So a 10 min drive to the Natick Collection turns into a 25 minute drive. We leave the mall and get lost. it is miserable, the gps is all over the place and that area sucks to drive in. We drop Jimmy and Dan off and me and stephan have a nice quiet ride back home, takes an hour. Everything is fine. Stephan is miserable and I am thinking, well the day wasn't so bad, at least I have a nice dinner and family to come home to. Stephan suggests that maybe I can go with him because he knows that I would want to come over. I decline and we go our separate ways.
I walk in. Only my parent's are home. no cake no ice cream. I look for the food. Apparently my mom gave the rest of the food away to my siblings thinking that I would have already eaten with stephan. No one remembered that we were going to have cake and ice cream today. So, I have no birthday this year. And my eldest brother who is 27 and still lives at home takes the time to rub it in my face that I didn't get to eat any awesome Pork ribs, or pot roast, or the huge 10lb slab of steak, or any of the korean fried rice. Instead I made a sandwich for dinner. Go me.
