Birthdays..

Tomorrow is the birthday of one of my friends.

No idea how old she turns tomorrow though, not known her that long, but from what I know, i'm guessing she's turning 19. It's amazing how the worst things happen to you when you should be happy and celebrating. Our gang was on our way to a certain fast food restaurant called Chicken Bazooka, when she tripped over the base of this swipe-card thingy thing that is used to gain entrance into an underground car-park under the Liverpool Metropolitan Cathedral.. and she fell. She fell on hard concrete, and had a deep cut near the temple of her head, and just started bleeding loads and loads.


When this happened, I was a bit of a distance away, taking out some money from a cash machine.. Sorry to say, I'm really glad I wasn't right there when it happened, or else I would have burst out laughing! We called the ambulance, and the whole gang went to the hospital..Turns out she also fractured her arm.


In bad situations like these, I personally don't like to dwell on things too much. Frankly, I was a little annoyed that our trip to the fast food stall got cancelled (eating out, not in the kinky sense dammit, is expensive! i usually cook at home..). Plus, I was about to buy everybody a meal and earn some social points!! I'm only kidding. Everybody else looked so concerned and all, whereas I just stood outside Subway and chilled with a fag dangling from my lips.. (they decided to take her to Subway, the sandwich place.. it was near the place where she fell... but WHY would you take an injured person to Subway? I have no idea, but I doubt Subway liked it, coz we brought a bleeding and obviously hurt person into their place. Doubt it would have done their business much good lol, although we were only there for like 20min or so..)


Apparently, I seriously under-react. Hmm. I realised this makes me come across as a cold person.. Even got told I had a heart of steel! LOL. Is it really wrong for me to under-react? Personally, I think it's much better that I under-react and stay level-headed and joke about things, rather than get worked up and frantic. I guess you just have to strike the right balance between being caring and putting up a strong front. Not that today required me to put up a strong front lol. I guess you just can't please everyone in this world. .


Speaking of birthdays.. today, I discovered one of my friends, has the same birthday as the famous porn star Peter North!!! How hilarious is that!? I am so relieved that I share a birthday with Paul Scholes of Man Utd fame (16th November), at least that way, you don't get made fun of! My cousin shares a birthday with David Seaman (19th September), and he finds it embarrassing. If only Seaman retired a couple of seasons early, he'd be a proud man!


I never really cared for birthdays. Why be nice to a particular person on this single day, when you can actually do it EVERYDAY? Makes no sense. Personally, I think it's a bit of a commercialised gimmick, such as Valentine's Day, although it's not as bad..




But of course, I always do enjoy it when I get something for my birthday ;)
