end of an era?Well, for the first time in my life, I have gotten NOTHING for my birthday from my family.
I mean, they sent me on vacation, and that was my bday gift, so I certainly can't complain... but mom has always sent SOMEthing. Some sort of care package with little goofy stuff in it, so that I have "something to open" on my actual birthday.
And this year...
Nothing.
I didn't even get a card.
Growing up sucks.

Sorry, I'm an asshole.
I didn't mean at all to say that I'm not grateful for my trip. It wasn't at all about wanting presents. I was just sad b/c this was the first time in my life my mom didn't send me some sort of little package just "to have something to open".
But, when I talked to them on my birthday- They all felt so guilty and awful and apologized a million times- that I feel like an asshole (again) for even being sad about it.
And, thanks for all the birthday wishes everyone. :)

I am always surprised that birthdays are such a big deal here... Heh I never really had a "birthday realization" till I came here.
Wish you a rocking year ahead, (e:jenks)! Hope your fellowship turns out everything you want it to be and a ton more exciting! :)

I find that highly amusing :) So, I am light years behind on reading and completely missed the part where you're moving! Well, I e-mailed you asking about stuff but haven't gotten the scoop yet. Anyhoo...does this mean you can't come to the wedding :(

Super awesome Buffalo apartment for rent(Ok, so today I want to be googly)
So... my apartment is going to be available probably the last week of June.
For those of you who haven't seen it, it really is a great place.
Info-
-Upper apartment in a 2 apt house.
(landlords (who are great) live downstairs)
-Three bedrooms/1 bath
-great big kitchen with new stainless appliances (incl gas stove)
-huge living room with tons of windows and great light
-it's seriously huge- (previous owner told me 2000 sq ft!)
-small back balcony
-GARAGE PARKING
-*FREE* washer/dryer in the basement
-huge attic/basement with tons of storage
-lots of built-in storage
-laundry chute!
-carpet in living/dining room and hall, wood floors in bedrooms
-lots of neat woodwork, etc
-great landlords (worth mentioning again)
-great location- just off the elmwood strip, and within walking distance (2 blocks) of thai/indian/chinese/pizza/subway/convenience store. Neighborhood is convenient and safe, mostly college students/families
-small front and bigger back yards
The landlords want to rent to 1 or 2 people, but not 3
Rent will be 750, plus utilities
I really can't say enough about this place- my only complaint would be no dishwasher- but the landlords may even put one in.
For more info/pix/etc- comment here or email me using the email link to the right!
