When You Care Enough to Send the Very Best

So what does that say if you don't send a Hallmark card?

So my birthday came and went. I'm 28 now fuckers. Can't you tell I'm happy?

I never check my mail, as all the bills I have coming to me are already here, but of course I'm going to check my mail on my birthday. I had exactly 0 cards waiting for me, having recieved 0 the day before. All my birthday wishes came in the form of phone calls, text messages, and e-mails. Just two people wished me a live Happy Birthday, well, aside from those who see me every damn day for the past 7 years.

I'm kind of weird about presents, because I usually don't want people to get me anything, but I'm often curious as to what they'll get me. One of my favorite birthday presents happened on my 21st birthday. I was given a bottle of DiSarono Amaretto by a coworker. I was 21 and of course new to alcohol, well, aside from the majors (tequila, vodka, rum, etc) He said it was his favorite and even told me a few drinks to make with it. I like this because it was pretty thoughtful in a sense, it wasn't just happy birthday, here's something for you, it was, here's something I like, I'm hoping you would like it to. And by doing that, not only did he give a present, but he gave a window into the giver as well. Gifts like that impress me.
