     My mom decided to have my birthday dinner yesterday evening at Olive Garden after I'd gotten off work.  We got there around 6pm, and everybody was already there mostly.  It was super crowded which made a little anxious.  While we waited for a table I checked twitter for E3 updates since it already started.  We were seated soon after, and my niece Shelbi was unusually quiet for some reason.  My sister mentioned it was because she wasn't a fan of pasta, and she didn't know what to get.  We talked a bit about movies.  My mom, and I had just seen Wonder Woman, and recently Get Out so we talked about those movies.  

     The food finally came, and we ate.  My food was pretty good, but Shelbi wasn't too happy with hers because some of her food was cold.  She kept trying to get the waiter's attention, but he kept forgetting her salad dressing, and extra cheese.  To be fair it was really crowded so he probably had a bunch of tables to wait.  My sister mentioned an activity her, and her friends had recently done in which they went to a hotel played a game that was sort of like "Clue" in which you had to guess who the killer was.  It sounded super fun actually.  Apparently there were actors there, and they didn't know which people were actors so it played out like a live game of Clue.  We also talked about our upcoming trip to Panama that's coming up.  I'm really looking forward to that.  After that we paid for the dinner, and stood outside for a while and talked after my sister's boyfriend showed up to wish me a happy birthday.  Since I'd been to work that day I was really exhausted.  My sister gave me a $25 gift card to Target so mom, and I decided to make a trip to Target before we went home.  I picked up a shirt for my dad for father's day, a cute Mario/Yoshi shirt for myself, and PS4 dual controller charger.

    Now for E3 roundups.  The only panel I watched so far was Microsoft's panel talking about their new system coming out (XBox One X I believeit's called.)  They also talked about a bunch of exclusives for the system.  These are the games that I thought were interesting so far.  I think a lot of these are timed exclusives?  That's what I keep hearing anyway.    I'm mostly waiting for Sony's panel at 5pm today, and Nintendo's panel tomorrow.  I'm super hyped for any Nintendo Switch releases.  At first I wasn't too sure about all the Wii U ports being put on the Switch, but honestly more games is always a good thing.  I've never owned an Xbox system so I'm not sold on the Xbox One X tbh.  I've considered buying one of the older systems in the future though because of Half-Life 2, Halo, and a few other franchises that I've never played.  I'm really looking forward to seeing sony's exclusive announcements like maybe The Last of Us 2 since I really loved the first game.  We'll see what happens. :D  

 I'm officially old now.  I only have one message of facebook so far.  To be honest facebook makes me not look forward to birthdays. Mainly because no one texts, or calls you anymore.  Everyone just posts on facebook which is lame since I don't use facebook all that much.  Either way I don't have a lot of plans for today.  I'll be doing some shopping later on, and my parents are taking me out to dinner on Friday with a few other family members.  To be honest birthdays are somewhat awkward for me because I don't get that excited about them.  Anyway Here's a snarky song that fits my overall dark, sarcastic humor and it's about birthdays.

      I just got off work a few hours ago, and now I'm relaxing.  My mom went to a sort of Mother's Day event that my sister was having at her house.  I was initially supposed to go, but my allergies have got me down, and I feel horrible.  I think it's mainly the Summer when my allergies usually flare up like this.  I take it in stride I suppose.  I just took a pill for allergy relief, and it finally seems to be working.  I did buy my mom some PJ's, and a nice card for mother's day.  

     My dad started working night shift last week, and he's been really struggling getting used to the new schedule.  My mother has also been struggling due to the fact he's not there with her when she goes to sleep at night.  

     My grandmother had to be rushed to the hospital this morning.  She'd previously had surgery on her leg, and her leg started bleeding.  She's doing better now, and is back home.  She ended up bleeding a lot because she did too much after having her procedure done.  She realizes how serious this all is now, and she's been taking it easy since this morning.  I don't think she took it that seriously at first, and she tried doing too much too soon.  Anyway I was glad to hear she's doing better.  

     I got my Ghost in the Shell Motoko Kusanagi figma last week, and it's really neat!  It's a lot smaller than I thought she would be, but she's very detailed.  She also has detachable boobs which I find highly amusing.  My cousin is amused at me collecting anime figures for some reason.  My mom literally called it "collecting dolls", but then she said she was just kidding xD!   Speaking of anime Rightstuf is having a pretty good sale on a bunch of their anime dvds, and other things.  I bought a few things that I'd been looking for.  

My birthday is in a few weeks, and I'm sort of looking forward to it.  My sister is planning a painting party where everyone paints pictures.  It should be fun.  I plan on dying my hair before my birthday.  I picked this vibrant purple color so I hope it turns out well.  Well that's all for now. 

 

My dad actually walked by my room, looked at me, and didn't say anything...smh. 
He just came in and hugged me and told me happy birthday. :D

  Anyway, I'm 29 *shudder* but I'm not too torn up about it.  I've already gotten some cool gifts.  My best friend got me this really huge X-Men encyclopedia type book that's so huge it won't fit in my book shelf xD!  I ordered my self The Sisters Of Mercy "Floodland" 2013 limited edition version on vinyl last week.  I've still got last weeks concert on my mind because it was so wonderful.  I'll also probably go see the new X-Men movie tomorrow, and hope that it's decent.  I've had a good vacation from work so far. I hope you all are doing well.
