So... I turned 30 two days ago. Due to my Lupus I almost never go out anymore, but made an exception to go out for my BIG 30. Big mistake. My friend dropped me off downtown alone, which I thought would be fine because all of my friends were supposed to meet me at 80's night. I got all dressed up for nothing. BTW, the friend who dropped me off has kidney failure and didn't feel well, and I knew she would have been there if that weren't the case. Anyway, I waited around forever, literally, and no one showed up. I didn't have a way home as I was dropped off there, and since no one showed up I was stranded at the stupid bar. I couldn't even get in to 80's night because I brought no money, as I was told not to worry about it. To make matters worse it was the civil war game so all the younger drunk college kids were out. Not fun. All I wanted to do was hang out with my friends for my birthday.

Even my best friend ditched out on me to hang out with some "rich guy". I wish my friends would just grow up already! So I wound up standing outside alone for 2 and a half hours in 24 degree weather freezing my butt off until 3:30 am, waiting for my friend to close down the bar so I could get a ride home. It was a horrible horrible night! I went home and spent the rest of the morning crying.

I didn't get a call from my father or my older brother either. I just feel forgotten. I came here hoping to find a birthday thread for me, but nothing here either. I just feel so stupid and blah. I always try as best I could to make people feel special. I wish someone I knew would do the same for me.

Anyway, I did receive some lovely flowers from my mother though, in a beautiful vase! So I guess the day wasn't all bad. I was just expecting a little something more.

My boss (being the nice man that he is) bought me a very nice cake from Sweet Life here in Eugene. Look them up online. They're amazing! So, I thought I would share some cake photos with you all. I'm trying to upload them here but it's not working so I'll just link it from my scrapbook.com account. If you click on the layout titles it will bring you to a bigger picture so you can look at the cake better, and there's some info on the layouts too if anyone wanted info about them.
