Hi (obligatory birthday post)

I usually hate when my birthday rolls around. They're hardly ever really memorable. I mean last year was great, my sister took the extended family and my boyfriend to Farrell's in Mission Viejo. Actually, it was perfect, but this year? Oh man. The key is to set low expectations; almost believe you're a Jehovah's Witness, that way when you get one or two texts, and five or less Facebook/email birthday wishes, you're not too sad about it. Then again, what pathetic person judges their self-worth by how many of these messages are received? Ahem. Today, at least at one point, I was with someone I really love and care for. Domestic partner (ha) and I met my sister and her family, and she took us out to eat... where I ate the BEST burger ever. And fries. Those fries... ugh and iced tea. Heaven is on earth my friends, and it's on the corner of south Brea Blvd. My sister bought these adorable and absolutely delicious Korean fruit tarts from a bakery. A Korean bakery, which of course, are the best bakeries. We (we being Mr. Argueta and I) were dropped off in the fifth circle of Hell, Pico Rivera. It was actually nice though. The money meant to help me with college and my burgeoning lifestyle was funneled into my dad's attempts to be relevant in regards to today's technology. Ergo, he owns a PS3 (of which he solely uses to play crappy NFL games), and many, many blu ray dvds. Anyway, the two of us played God of War III. Which, holy crap, is one of the most aesthetically stunning video games I have ever played. I haven't played much on the seventh generation consoles, with the exception of the Wii (which really doesn't say anything). Mr. Argueta was picked up as he had further tasks. THEN...

I went outside to look for my dying cat.* Found him, but then dropped him (not too high off the ground), and saw my two bff's from high school. Yeah, high school sucked, but these guys, we've been to NY, and have known each other since we were 11. They came out of nowhere, scared the shit out of me, and then we went bowling. I am so terrible at bowling. Yes. We then got coffee, girl talk, and reminisced. Laaaaater, we said our goodbyes, and I was back at my dad's house, who took me back to Argueta's house, err home.

O M G. I love this family. My real family is okay, my sister is amazing, but the other two, eh. More surprises! And yeah, Gio is probably the best gift giver ever. And birthday planner. This guy, have him plan your shit. Pictures of gifts will soon be posted! After that, the two of us ate dinner of which he prepared (no, it's not romantic, they were leftovers), and we watched Breaking Bad.

I hate sappy posts. I hate long posts, but hi there. And, thank you Gio. You euuugh, there are no words. Just, Danny Trejo sends his regards. This was the best. Goodbye, teenage years. ~*good riddance*~

*Not dead, or dying, just depressed.
