I don't mean to alarm you but you have dogs on your face
Today's my birthday. I turn 24. I thought it was going to be a bittersweet birthday, but instead I'm just utterly depressed and feel like crying.

Up till half an hour ago I thought I was going to spend a few last hours with my best friend, but she felt really tired (from bar-hopping with me last night) and has tons of stuff to do, so she just dropped by for a few minutes to drop off presents. She's moving to the other side of the world this saturday, and if I do see her again before then, it'll just be a quick and probably emotional visit just to say goodbye.

So now I'm just sitting alone in my apartment, at my computer, staring out the window at the wet and gloomy weather. This isn't how I want to feel on my birthday, and I feel like the best and only enjoyable part of my life is being ripped away from me.

I don't know if I should try to somehow enjoy the rest of my birthday alone, or just try and pretend like it's any other day. This is going to be one depressing week.
 
Be proactive bro. Don't sit around and mope about it, get out and do something. Go to a pub, a club, check out a flick. Call up some buds and have a party at your place, do something. Make something happen, birthdays are for celebrating not sulking!!
 
Pretend like it's any other day, much like Christmas, Thanksgiving, Hannukah, and the other various "special" days.

Some may think this strip is getting boring, but I think it's one of GAF's better traditions.

And I'm usually the one who posts it in bday threads. That sure came around to bite me in the ass.


"Call up some buds and have a party at your place, do something."

wish that were an option. And doing something alone to celebrate my birthday would just be too depressing....going to a bar by myself right now would be kinda weird. i honestly can't think of anything to do besides browsing gaf to take my mind off it.
 
Going to a bar right now would actually be the best thing to do. You can now find solace in the fact that every man before you has drowned his sorrow in booze. Now you can say to yourself "oh shit I am just like Alexander the Great how awesome am I"

Treat yourself to some cake. You'll thank yourself. I buy myself a slice of cake when I feel not so hot. Then I go into a food coma and wake up in good mood later on. :D
 
I hope it's the last birthday you celebrate.

I mean it. Not really. I hope you have a good one tomorrow if not today. You've made me laugh in the past, so I wish you the best, dude.

All but one of my birthdays since junior high sucked. I'm not laughing. :(
 
Happy Birthday bro. Why is your friend leaving? (Just curious).. perhaps you could get her to stay if you asked her to marry you? :) (just trying to lighten the mood)..
take care man.

thanks. she's moving to thailand to teach english for four months, then Japan for 3-5 years. Honestly, I feel like doing the same kind of thing.....I'm a little hung up on on making up for missing out on everything around here the past several years, but I should just let go and get the fuck out of here and do something drastically different. I've got money issues I really need to take care of first, though. :(
 
By the way, I just got the birthday card from my mom. I open it to find..........a $10 certificate for The Gap! One that was mailed to me (at her address) anyway. WUV YA, MOM! :lol
 
Geez man... get off your arse instead of feeling sorry for yourself. Only you can change anything... What's anyone on here gonna be able to do...

Seriously man, if you're gonna mope around and admit defeat then there's no point getting depressed about it. You either gotta actively change it or just live with it!

Happy Birthday, make it a good one dude.
 
It feels wrong to wish you a "Happy Birthday" after you've already said how crappy of a day it's been. :-/

Best wishes dude.

How do you know?
 
Actually I can also use it at Banana Republic or Old Navy. Maybe I'll head over to Old Navy tomorrow and get some fleece pants or somethin.
 
Buck up, pal.

Well damn man, if you think about things that way you'll never get out of the funk. If you're in the NYC area I will chill with you. In fact, you are invited to my boy's birthday party this Saturday, I will introduce you to some chicks.
 
Go to a bar an hour from closing time, find a similarly depressed female, drink/chat it up, take her home, then post on GAF while she orgasms in the corner. You'll regret it on so many levels.

What the fuck are you going to get for 10 dollars at The Gap?

That should take care of the cover charge.

That is the way I think about it, because unfortunately it's true. She's the best friend I've had in many years of being anti-social, and right now my life is pretty empty. The past year or so has just been about layin back and trying to have "fun", which has always been with her.
And I ain't gonna be anywhere near NYC. Wish I were, though......Madison's getting boring.

You know, honest to god, after all the bars I've ever been to over the past year (and I've been to shitloads), I oh so very rarely see girls...let alone ones that aren't with guys...who I'm attracted to. And there are some fine lookin girls around here.
