I am a very lucky girl because my boyfriend has no interest in silly things like sports. However, his coworkers do. :( So he's spending the day covering for them. I'm not sure how I'm going to keep myself entertained for 10 hours. Stupid super bowl.

In other news, attempting to forget about my birthday was a miserable failure. Cried right after midnight and ben was too sick to hug the crazy out of me. Felt a little better at anime club for the first hour or so, but got anxious from being away from home for so long. Came home and cried. Ben hugged some of the crazy out of me. Mom called to tell me all my dead relatives wish me a happy birthday. (She went to a psychic yesterday.) Ben roleplayed instead of baking me a cake because he was sick. Watched doctor who. Watched planet of the apes. (Why was it on the history channel?) Ben came in and tried cheering me up a little. Went to bed feeling slightly better. Had dreams that reminded me of my birthday.

I need to do something that matters this year so I don't feel like such a failure on my birthday next year.
