i don’t really see what’s special about them usually. i get more excited about other people’s birthdays than my own. especially lately. last year, for my ‘sweet 16’ i had some vague plans to see tilly and the wall (a lovely band, hence my username here) a day or 2 after my birthday, and that kind of fell apart. so i didn’t really do anything.
this year, rancid is playing about 3 hours up from me, and it’s on my birthday. i started planning for this months ahead, but what with everyone leaving on family vacations and whatnot, i only had one person that confirmed she’d definitely be able to go. now, a week or 2 before the show, she can’t. her mom told her she’ll be out of town. thank god i didn’t reserve the hotel and buy the tickets yet, but still. i had my hopes up for this one for a good 2 or 3 months, and now. well. yeah. i’m planning on sleeping through the day, since last year i was like in tears for half the day.
