Birthday Blitz
Nov. 18th, 2012 10:21 pmLast Thursday was ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
bethje's birthday, and after we had both finished work, we went out to eat at the Olive Garden. I had the Tour di Mare and was sick afterwards, but I don't know that it was from that. Regardless, my favorite part of it was the shrimp and crab ravioli, and I wish they still had that as a separate dish. Then we went to the movies to see Wreck-It Ralph, which I reviewed on my WordPress. There's not too much to report about Friday or Saturday, although we did eat at the recently reopened Denny's near Beth's mom's place. Not that that's too exciting, but I enjoyed it. They have that Hobbit menu now, but I didn't order anything from it, although the Hobbit Hole Breakfast did sound good. Maybe if I go back there again before they're finished with that menu. Speaking of which, I'd sort of like to re-read The Hobbit before the movie comes out. I found my annotated edition, so maybe I'll start on that after finishing The Woman Who Died a Lot. I also just recently obtained The Mark of Athena.
Today is my own birthday, and I'm usually pretty depressed on my birthday. Not so much because I'm getting older, a leading cause of birthday depression if greeting card jokes are properly representative, but more because of loneliness. It's sort of a selfish loneliness when you get right down to it, though. I'm jealous of people whose friends throw them birthday parties, but it's not like I do anything special for anyone else's birthday. But then, people should know me well enough to realize I'm terrified of making the first move. I spend a lot of time alone by choice, but I do like to be the center of attention. I'm grateful for the Facebook comments, of course, but the birthday thing reminds me I still haven't mastered the art of making and keeping friends. My mom and siblings did come to visit today, and we went out to the Olive Garden. I got something different this time and didn't get sick, so that's good, right?
