Am suddenly remembering phenomenon of Un-Birthdays from elementary school years. If (like yours truly) a child was unfortunate enough to be born in summer time and so did not, in course of school year, get to have cupcake birthday celebration on your ever-so-special day, there was an Un-Birthday assigned. It's not your birthday, but you celebrate anyway.
Point of above sweet, yet random trip down memory lane? This fish has had just too many Un-Boyfriends. What is an Un-Boyfriend, you ask? He's not your boyfriend, but you well... celebrate anyway. Though am not saying Un-Substitutes (Birthdays and Boyfriends) are entirely a negative thing, perhaps am simply reaching point where substitutes are not cutting it. Really do love the cupcakes and all, but would really like to have a real, it's-my-actual-birthday party with cake, candles, streamers and maybe some fireworks.
Indeed, god damn it.
Would really like some fireworks.
