Explaining more about what is really bothering me and that what happened in my previous post just made hurt worse.

I didn't talk to my parents on my Birthday. The one time my mother called me on Friday ( my birthday ) I was in the middle of something. She said she would call back and never did.

And they didn't call Saturday. Or Sunday either. Which I really thought the would call me Sunday.

So when I called the first time this evening, even though I had a purpose to call, I was hoping to. . .I don't know. Talk a little? Tell them what I actually did for my birthday, how I got flowers from John, just something.

My birthday weekend was awesome. It really was. I still stop and look at my flowers. It's also why I didn't mention any of this until now. It honestly wasn't bothering me until I was trying to fall asleep a moment ago and couldn't stop thinking about the phone calls tonight.

You would also think that after 25 years, I would be use to my mother disappointing me on my birthday.

But I am hurting right now.

My birthday was nice. I worked. Nothing special there, except I got a nice handmade card from one coworker and another bought me some Japanese candy, ramune, and a ceramic soup bowl that says Ramen on it. Also there was some Swedish Jelly Babies candy. Which is um, special. Blackcurrant is yuck.

So I have to say, I am highly amused. The last few years I got flowers sent to my work on my birthday. There was even a year when it was from my coworkers. ♥ So, it was a little sad that this year I didn't get any at work.

But! I got something better. John hand-delivered a dozen roses to my apartment. ♥ They are a pink-purple kind of color. And his gift was a purple hello kitty shirt.

Then there was lasagna, drinking, and dancing. ♥

6:31am! I am now a quarter of a century old!

My parents asked me the dreaded "What do you want for your birthday?" question.

BLARGH.

FLIST! IF YOU WERE ME WHAT WOULD YOU WANT FOR YOUR BIRTHDAY! I NEED HELP!

All I can think of is a new purse/bag and new clothes. lol. I always want new clothes.

Edit: lol. I like my Birthday wishlist from last year. I gave them an explanation of Gundam 00 since they would be in a city where there would be anime stores.

It STILL amuses me to imagine them walking into an anime store and simply asking "Do you have anything Gundam?"

Even with my detailed instructions, I still got something Gundam WING. Lol.

My birthday ( blah ) is coming up. I've been lazy about my list. Finally got something together for my parents. I make it lengthy so they can surprise me. . .if they do actually go off of my list that is. Anyway! I had the realization yesterday that they would be in California for a week before my birthday. SWEET!

That means. . .hobby and anime stores. YES. So I typed up special notes at the end just for them. ( Because I feel like sharing )

Aaannnddd, yeah. I know what you are thinking. This is what I did when I first started getting into Megaman. Now I don't even have to tell my parents what I want that is Megaman. . .they have been educated. . .they can buy things on their own. It's quite nice and adds to the surprise. :3 Hell. My mother bought me a Megaman action figure from the early 90s cartoons. ;3

I actually have time before work. Woo~ Anyway. This is easy.
