Tonight, I was stood up.
Stood up on my birthday.
I have a history of things like this.
A day or two ago, someone said to me, "Birthdays are important to you, aren't they?"
I replied, "Only that they demonstrate how neglected I am."
(Slight paraphrasing)
And it was really a rather accurate way to express my feelings.
Last year, alone.
21st birthday, I solicitated a girl from the internet and guilted her into accompaning me to a nightclub in Austin. We never saw each other again. (You can find her very interesting website at http://www.bookslut.com/)
This year, waited for my friend to call me. She never did.
It's really depressing.
