You'd better be acquainted with the Flight of the Conchords. Today's moment of happy is a FOTC moment: Hurt Feelings (Tears of a Rapper)
I always save a special giggle for the forgotten birfday bit because one year I waited for a call from my parents, and it didn't come, so I called them, and my poor mummy...she asked why I was calling, and I had to remind her. That birfday was a particularly sucky one because it was about 13 months after the loss of my Gramma (she and I shared a birfday), my hair appointment went awry with a hair dresser covering an unskilled trim with too much hairspray, and the weather made everyone cancel on coming out for dinner and drinks. I had hurt feelings, to say the least.
Oh, for the silly days of youth!
...Wish you were here.
Those guys make me want to go back to Kiwi-land just to be around those accents full-time again... so funny.
ReplyDeleteAlternately, you can do what I do and escape for the birthday, ignore everyone else!
Well, since then I've shut down the birfdays. I don't tell people when it is (if you know, no tellsies!), and I never work or go to school that day.
