pissed off angerfest

As if its not bad enough that my middle child syndrome has been reinforced this year when my brother got a digital video camera for his birthday, my sister is getting something that, when I asked for it for my birthday one year, my parents laughed in my face and said 'thats too expensive', and I got.... I got a mirror ok but whatever, money doesn't equal love, I understand that. But here's what really pisses me off. Today is my sister's birthday. A few weeks ago I asked her what she wanted for her birthday. She named a couple of high ticket items in the $300 range. I told her I already got her a gift, because I knew I wanted to get her 2 tickets to see her favorite band, the Decemberists. The only problem was, I wanted it to be a suprize and whenever I asked her if she was going to be around on Oct. 1, the day of the concert, she would say, 'I don't know, probably not, we are trying to go on a road trip' So, the day before the concert, I checked online to make sure they weren't sold out and gave her the money for 2 tickets. Unfortunately, the concert *did* sell out, but they were playing again the next night, (also sold out) at the 9:30 club. By a stroke of luck, her friend Jaime had 2 extra tickets to sell to them, so she got to go! yay!
Well, this morning she asked me 'where is my present'. I told her, 'I already gave it to you, remember?'
'You did?...You said that was an early birthday present. I thought you got me something else too!'
'no...thats it...'
'That wasn't even a present, that was really a joint present from you and Jaime.'
'what do you mean, didn't you pay him for the tickets?'
'yes but you should have had more foresight. I almost didn't get to go!'
etc. etc. whine whine brat brat complain complain.
Well, i just ended the convo there because i didn't want to get in an argument with her on her birthday but, it sure made me feel like shit that she didn't appreciate my present that i *thought* would be like the best present ever, and even if it wasn't, like if i had gotten her tickets to... the gin blossoms reunion show...aren't you supposed to pretend like you like it?? I pretended to like that frickin mirror! It was the brattiest conversation i've ever had and I'm only getting her cards for her birthday from now on. THE END.
P.S. Guess what she got me for my birthday last month?

NOTHING.

She didn't even draw me a card.

In this pic my hair looks like when they draw anime hair:

I DID APPRECIATE IT YOU ARE TOO SERIOUS AND DEFENSIVE! Chill out it was a misunderstanding and you got me the best present ever but it IS true that your present would have blown chunks if it wasn't for jamie. Ohh, here's money to go see your favorite band, sorry it's the day of the concert i was too lazy to go get the tickets. oh no they're sold out? oh no well then i want the money back. oh YAY that was awesome. thank god jamie saved the biggest disapointment ever and turned it into what it should have been had you actually come through with your present. and i do appreciate it. so there. stop acting like "middle child" is a full time bitch job. When my whole family is being self righteus jerks for my birhtday it really sucks.

Ah, now I get it. Even though I am technically an only child, I somehow got stuck in the middle child role during Christmas & such. My cousin (a year or 2 younger) always got cooler gifts than I. Sometimes we would get a few gifts that were the same, and then, she would get like five more gifts that were way cooler and beyond my dreams. Her lil brother would also get cool gifts, for his age. One year, between Xmas & my birthday I received like over seven nightgowns. I didn't even wear night gowns or jammies!

Jesus Christ, or F'ing Harry Chanika, Ariella you are so whiny for someone who didn't get their sister something for her birthday. I swear you are the most spoiled chiled I have ever met, and this even AFTER having met a lot of stupid kids from ***** (<=your home town, aka town of spoiled whiny kids). Give me a freakin' break. AND SPIDER GIRL, keep in mind this is all your fault because of your behaviour when Ariella was young. If you would have never acted the way you did, and done the things you did she wouldn't have turned out like this.

Oh, and Happy Birthday Ariella.
