Welcome to Balto's Journal
Well I had this year I my birthday over FC and maybe that wasn't the best time to have it. While the con sales wise was ok a lot of what I was looking forward to didn't happen. Thursday started off ok but ended up talking about sports and FBA so I was mostly a spectator as I have no idea what everyone else was taking about. Although, dinner was nice we had dinner at the old spaghetti factory, Sadly, little did I know that would be my last formal meal of the con. As the con began I spent all day Friday in the den (with no breakfast or lunch) and since every one I was with had already had earlier dinner plans the only option I had for dinner was Nachos by the skating ring. Saturday came around and spent the day again in the den. Every one headed off to dinner and meetings and once again no dinner.. Sunday more of the same unfortunately this time I had to pass on dinner again because I wanted to finish some last minuet stuff so hopefully I could be freed up so enjoy my birthday with my friends.
Things started to look promising when they returned with a cake which was a nice gesture, but no sooner had they arrived, everyone had to go because of other plans so any birthday festivities were postponed until after the FBA party which was ok by me. Well needless to say the party went on until 2 am by the time things were done no one seemed to care and about doing anything else went to bed and that was the night.
Now Sunday came and it was time to go home and no one seemed to want to continue what they started the night before and that was the end of my con. I never even got to have any of my birthday cake or spend some time with my friends like I wanted to. It would have been nice to spend my birthday with my friends but I guess cons only come once a year.
Needless to say I spent most if the con very frustrated I guess it was too much to expect some one to at least want to spend a few minuets with me. Yea.. Another birthday happy birthday to me. So, now you know why I despise Thanksgiving, Christmas and Birthdays, i despise them for the simple fact that they only serve to remind you how insignificant or unimportant you really are to people especially when its people who you perceive as close friends. Maybe I'm just assuming too much and perhaps that is my problem.
I'm sorry for the post but I'm feeling a but hurt at the moment. Nothing hurts more than when it's done by people who you think would care that you exist.

Take care hun, and cheer up. I consider you a friend, and I hate seeing friends upset.
Hopefully your day will go better hun :)
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!
And heres a , probably the only thing i can do for ya :)
Hope you at least have a great day.
Even if one does not make a big deal about their birthday it is nice when someone remembers that it is your birthday.
I'll scan it for you when I get home by the way, and I'll get you the info about the Balto plush I have.
I didn't know we shared a birthday. Let's make sure next year that we do something together. Maybe we can watch Balto. :D Thanks again for the beautiful artwork. It's getting framed and put on the wall as soon as I can get to it.
Maybe next time I'll just make my own plans. I actually turned down and invite because I thought my friends would do something Sunday night...nope., oh well its not the first birthday that's been forgotten and I'm sure it wouldn't be the last I'm sure. Thanks again for the kind words I appreciate it.
I understand how that feels. You're definitely cared about, though. I don't know you really well, but I always like to see you at cons and you're one of the very few people I've actually talked to at any length. I almost always end up eating alone. Hope to see you at Furry Fiesta if you go, maybe we could get dinner or lunch there sometime if you wanted, I'd love to have your good company and chat with you. :)
I think a lot of people take occasions like birthdays and holidays for granted because they have always had people to support them and be there for them so to them its no big deal if some one forgets since they have that support structure year round.
For me thats not been the case. I literally have no one that seems to care I exist, I'm in TX and my family in CA despises me and the only source of support and encouragement is from my "friends" so things like holidays and birthdays mean a lot to me. thats why when things like this get over looked or forgotten sorta get to me because I begin to see just how significant I am to them. This is why lately I despise the holiday season from Nov through Jan, it just serves as evidence as to how little I matter to people. Weather thats perception or reality I'm not sure, but from the evidence I see it sadly seems to be the reality.
And HAPPY B-DAY (A few days late)
