B-day thoughts, goals and comic strips...

* Gawd, it's hard trying to come up with a decent blog post introduction after being M.I.A. for more than 2 weeks- spare me just this once, guys! *

So, the news are as follows: I've been trying out a new skincare routine, had yet another failed appointment for ombre-ing my hair (ugh!) and, well... yesterday was my birthday.
Boy, am I glad that day is over!

You're now probably thinking "wtf gurl, are you serious??? Birthdays are fun!"
Allow me to plead my case, for the hell of it...

You see, apart from acting as a harsh reminder of getting older, I don't understand why it has to be such a big deal in one's life. Sure, the fact that people ring for wishes is caring, and the presents are always nice- though I'd much appreciate it if someone gave me a lovely gift at any given day, not out of mere obligation... Just sayin'!

Here's what makes me want to rush up the hours into the next day: the massive amounts of attention. Being forced into the spotlight is not my thing, especially while everybody expects me to be on my best mood, best outfit and best-est smile, when all I want is to be booze-free, stay unapologetically indoors and watch series after series of Family Guy.

And please, don't get me started on the inevitable and dreary thoughts of not having succeeded in anything major over the last year... No matter how much I've grown as a person, or the few goals I've managed to accomplish, whenever there's my birthday I can't help but feel I haven't done enough with my life.

Man, it sucks getting old and grumpy...

So, there. I hate birthdays. Unless, of course, it's not MY birthday we're talking about... Do forgive this excuse of a blog post, for some reason I needed to put it out there. Please someone tell me I'm not alone in this!

Also, while we're on the topic:
raise hands all you Pisces out there! Woot woot :D
