Random Fail: First World Problems

[Myrrh_Quetz]

For those asking why I still talk to my mom or why talk to her lately. Because she has been very pleasant lately. She's been helping me pay off some debt, and some other things. This is how last night went in text

"OMG you're almost 27, how do you feel? I'm so happy"
10 minutes later
"WHAT THE FUCK IS WRONG WITH YOU, HOW COULD YOU LIE TO ME AND TELL ME YOU CALLED YOUR BROTHER ON HIS BIRTHDAY. I DIDN'T RAISE YOU LIKE THIS. HOW COULD YOU"

Then this morning, and this is an exact copy of my texts

"Happy Birthday!!!!"
"Hope you have a wonderful loving fun filled birthday!"
"alright ya wanna be that way"
"Llet's start the surprises then. I will not tolerate anymore if your lifes and bullshit"
"and issue a stop payment for your trip"(She covers the large part then I pay her back. Been working for over 5 trips since the most I have at any one time is like 300 bucks lol)
"you are deceitful disrespectful and cruel"
"done talkinng to you. get a therapist and get some help"

That was all in the span of 5 minutes.

Yay, happy birthday to me.

Funny thing, she was a lot worse last year.

I normally don't say this for people, but for her i'd advocate a medical marijuana card to mellow her out.

[Myrrh_Quetz]

That is her on weed.

[Melena]

dafuq?

[Quixon]

She needs to smoke more of it.

Is it weird that this makes me glad my parents are dead? lol

[Jefe]

Yeah. Yeah, it is. Weird? Nah. Batshit.

dear lord. i'd say cut contact but it sounds like you're pretty good at working the good days. just gotta rise above, i guess. not let it bother you.

Found a pretty substantial bug in some PCR machine software that is widely used. I can only wonder how many studies it has messed up.

[Myrrh_Quetz]

Well this birthday sucked.

I invited and confirmed 30 people to show up at my party. Of the 30, 11 said the exact same excuse as to why they couldn't go, only 4 people showed up, and only one said happy birthday.

Fuck, I hate my birthday

[Aksannyi]

I can sympathize with that. Then again, I don't celebrate my birthday anymore save for going out to dinner at my favorite restaurant. I would recommend the same for you, but I can understand why you'd think birthdays are important since your life hasn't exactly been easy and every birthday is another "FUCK YOU I LIVE" to the universe.

[Myrrh_Quetz]

That's exactly it. Right now the birthdays are supposed to represent me living past the age that every doctor my whole told me I wouldn't see. All my friends know this.

[Dareus]

Happy is up to you. Be thankful for the 4 that came, your wonderful girlfriend, and the fact that you are alive. Life could always be worse!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

[BaneTheBrawler]

most people don't stop to think about things that deeply. don't sweat it, man. you still outlived the predictions by another year, fuck it. celebrate with the people who showed up! play some cards against humanity, whatever

[Myrrh_Quetz]

What pissed me off was that 30 people confirmed that they would 100% make it on Weds when GF hit everyone up.

I got 7 Texts and 4 Facebook messages with "Sorry, can't make it. Family Emerg"

11 people apparently had family emergencies tonight, 30 minutes before gathering

[NynJa]

I'd comment on this situation, but I got a family emerg.

too soon?

[Tomiko]

Not their fault if all their goldfish decided to spontaneously combust at the same time.

Also, belated Happy Birthday!

[Charismatic]

I guess the modern version of the old tale would be "The Boy Who Cried Family Emergency"

[Aksannyi]

See, you guys all give me shit for not having many friends, but this is why. People are flakes, and I don't need/want that in my life.

[Petitssk]

Look at the bright side, this is the perfect opportunity to weed out "friends". Not like you need a whole lot of them, four sounds good actually.

On that note, happy birthday!
