Tomorrow will be the 15th year of me living. And to celebrate this occasion, my family and two best friends (and only friends) were going to drive up to Jerome, Arizona; it's an artisan/mining town located really high on this small mountain top.
Only, my best friends' mother won't let them come because they neglected to do their chores (their sisters). So I'm going to celebrate my 15th birthday with only my family.
Today, my parents asked me if I wanted to see a movie (to make up for my friends not being able to come), at first I said no because I know that all the movies out now are unpopular thanks to Rotten Tomatos; but a few minutes later when I suggested going to see a movie anyway, my dad said "sorry, but it's too expensive." Alright, 30 bucks is expensive, but don't try and bring my hopes up and then crush them when I decide that I actually may want to go see a movie to cheer myself up for my friends not being able to attend my birthday.
My family always does this. We can never plan any event so we end up either not going or if we do go, we can't do anything we weanted to do there.
I asked my dad to buy some chocolate at the store and he ends up not getting it because it wasn't there, but he got me an orchid which now I have to take care of since my mom didn't like it.
My parents are going to buy the Hayao Miyazaki DVD Box Collection, and that's it. It's expensive so that will be my only present. I didn't just want the DVD's for myself, my entire family loves his movies, but no, only the DVD's. I might have gotten two books but my mom can't find them.
I certainly don't have the worst situation in my hands, but this always happens. My parents actually went to Circus Circus at Las Vegas for my... something previous birthday, only that ended up badly as my dad's too big to go on any of the rides, my mom's a wimp, and my brother's a brat. Also, the hotel sucked.
This year, I just decided for a small event as it's uncomfortable to have your school friends, neighborhood friends, religion friends and other friends all packed together just for you. But now, no one besides my family will be here. This happened last year too, only one person out of the five from my school came to my birthday party (as well as my two best friends and another friend who doesn't like me for some reason) and none of them had good excuses. At least I know for certain my two friends aren't lying because their mother's strictness has prevented them from doing things before and my mom talked to theirs.
We were going to stay overnight in Jerome, but because my family will visit my dad's niece in California, we actually won't be staying overnight. My mom is practically blaming me for going to California because "I" wanted to visit my family. This is untrue, SHE is the one who wouldn't shut up about how we should visit them.
So yeah, happy birthday.
