dear genetic relatives:

there are proper and improper ways to wish someone a happy birthday.

one of the ones that is not proper is:

"Hey [name], happy birthday.

Listen, mom actually asked me to call because grandpa [name] died and she wanted me to tell you."


thanks for the well wishes.

and for ensuring i will in no way, shape, or form feel like celebrating even one god damned day out of the year, not even when i have an excuse even i can't demean or talk myself out of.

god dammit.

sorry for the angst post, folks.
