So, according to my horoscope:

Today you could go a bit wild in your personal life, HISASHI! You might feel like making a bold move. If you have had your eye on somebody, it could be the perfect time to let them know that you find them attractive. You’ll be ready to flirt and to send out some passionate messages. You might have an exciting evening if you schedule a nice date. This could be the start of something special, so have fun!

But today I just went to work like usual and then went to a friend’s 40th birthday party. The birthday party was sedate, and the only single woman there is looking for other single women, if you catch my drift. Anyway, no flirting going on at all today.

Plus, my sister tried to kill me. She ran a red light that turned red before we even got to the intersection. I think she realized it when I said, “Well, um, it’s red.” She couldn’t stop without skidding through the intersection, so she kept going. Then she blamed the rain and me and my reluctance to purchase new wiper blades (I just bought these several months back). So I suggested we stop at the auto supply since we were early, anyway, but she refused. Maybe it’s more fun to live dangerously.

My mom came home today and she told me that she was going to bring me back a CD by Dreams Come True but it wasn’t out until this Friday. And she almost got me a tiny Sony MP3 player, but she figured I might not want it. So once again I got underwear. I don’t even want to think about what my sister got. Last time she got a digital camera, and I got a $8 pen. Come to think of it, the only birthday presents I got for my 40th birthday were ones I bought myself.
