Well, on Thursday, I will be 31. It turns out this is going to be a pretty fun few days leading up to it. The actual day will probably be pretty quiet, but that's probably okay.
On the 21st of April was Max's 31st birthday as well, so I went over to his house. I gave him a DVD, which turned out perfect because his family chipped in for a portable DVD player. They gave me money, which I used to replace the iPod headphones which had been broken. We always do a joint birthday celebration, being only eight days apart.
The day before yesterday my dad and stepmom called to tell me they were on their way. I really have trouble with their lack of respect for my schedule, but I couldn't do much when they were already on the road.
Parental visit yesterday was not bad, just empty. And this afternoon, they want to take me to Olive Garden, and that will be it until around Christmas. Sigh. My dad has to have a task to do so he cleaned my chair, which needed it. But he actually called that quality time. I was both amused and sad.
Then, I get to start the real fun. Karaoke tomorrow night, and hanging out with Sharia on Wednesday if she shows up and maybe the younger one of my caregivers on my actual birthday, but I'm not sure.
Now, for the good news. I am now the proud owner of a cobalt blue Nintendo DS! Thank you so much, Jess and Marc! I have two games for it so far. Pokémon Pearl, (you laugh and I will hear you and kick your ass. Grin) and final fantasy something about wings. I'm so excited, because this latter can be controlled completely with the touchscreen and my finger! I don't even need the stylus. Apparently there are quite a handful of other games like this. Like Zelda! I don't have that one yet, but it will be my next acquisition. I'm so excited, because I so love the Zelda games. Seriously, thank you so much you guys. I really don't deserve friends like you.
Now, I'm going to call the parents and see if they remember they were taking me out. Sigh. More report later.
