Warning: this is being typed late at night and I am in a slightly depressed mood. My feelings might change by the next morning or I may feel less strongly of what I am talking about.
Dont get me wrong, it was a lot of fun. For like the past eight years Ive always been at the beach during my birthday (don't like the beach) away from all my friends, and no internet most of the time. Finally, i got to have a party on my actual birthday.
I finally got to hang out with a lot of friends I haven't seen for a while (because of college) an we had a lot of fun.
But I feel kinda sad because I feel like some of the things I got for my birthday I wont really use much. Like I got a hat I donno if I will wear (and its expensive so I feel worse), and a pair of black flip-flops (which is now my third pair). And I got a dog statue (which I have enough stuff in my room) that I'm not too interest in. Those things are from my family that I hopefully can return.
Something I got from a close friend was knee-pads. there is a story behind that item so its kinda funny and I get why he would do that. But to be honest, its not something I would ever use. He also gave me a movie, an awesome one from what I know of and I feel that's all I kinda want. I feel the need to give him the knee-pads back because I don't want his money spent for nothing I will use.
Something else I got was a miku plushie. She sent me a text for that and my words were "I like the vocoliods but I really do not listen to them much"-- I assumed she was at hot topic so I recommended something else i know is at the store that I wanted. I do like it though, this item I dont mind too much but just kinda hinting that I wasn't too interested I thought I would get something else is all.
I'm not picky, but there's just some stuff I don't really need. I don't like it when people spend money on stuff I am not going to use, I feel bad for the fact that money is spent, and not much use will come out of it. I just feel sad about it.
But thanks to some friends on gaia, I got some really awesome items here, so on gaia it was a good birthday. I got a June MC, the bride items from the wedding bundle, and a friend is giving me avi art. So gaia was fun.
I am going to ask my parents to return the flip flops and the dog statue for sure. Ill double check the hat tomorrow, and I'm going to give the knee pads back I think. I don't really want that stuff, I feel bad for saying so but its better than me keeping it and then that stuff just sits in my room.

My Journals have been mostly when I am stressed and want to write stuff down. I have grown up and now have more real life issues that I have to deal with almost every single day. I don't know when it will end but I will write until that day comes.

If it's the monetary issue that's making you feel guilty, think of it this way: they spent some money on you to make you happy and show you their appreciation/affection. Bad luck that you didn't like what they got. Should their effort go to waste? By exchanging it for something you DO like, you can better appreciate the gesture.
If it's the sentimental issue of returning a gift they put thought in for you, then... yeah, that gets sticky. But really, it's pointless to keep around useless junk that you don't like, use, and/or profit from. Are you really gonna look at that pile of junk in your closet when you're looking for that something that you actually DO need/use and think back with a smile, "oh yeah... so-and-so got that for me." I doubt it. If you're anything like me, you'll just be PO'd by the clutter xD
So yeah... that's just my opinion. But like I said: Ima dickhead lol
