excuses

i forgot my friend's birthday. i forgot my brother-in-law's birthday. i never forget birthdays. chances are, if you've ever told me when your birthday is, i still know it. if not, i can get one of the numbers right and probably the month too. so i'm not too happy that i forgot my friend's and my brother-in-law's birthdays. my only excuse, and it's a lame one, is that school is pretty much an all-consuming thing lately. i have dreams about it. how messed up is that? it's not that i'm bitter or anything, it's just that i'm sitting here in a coffee shop studying on a friday night.

ok, so i might be a little bitter, but only because i have a twenty-something page paper due monday and finals to study for.

i'll get back to my rage against the machine and torts now.

don't feel bad. i have some email birthday reminder service thingie and i still can't remember half the b-days anymore. fortunately my siblings and i have a system where we all call each other when it's an important b-day or anniversary (like parents, etc.) of course, there was that one year i remembered my grandfather's b-day at the last minute & then forgot to do the sibling phone tree thing & my grandmother gushed about how i was such a good child for being the only one that remembered. i swear i did not do that on purpose!
