September 8th, 2024: It's my birthday today! I woke up at 6am with my alarm and spent like the first 30 minutes awake in bed before finally deciding to get dressed and all packed up. By the time 7am rolled around, Photography Aunt had not shown up and I still waited around. My mom made me some coffee to compensate for Photography Aunt not showing up. Later on Photography Aunt showed up an hour late along with 7th Day Adventist cousin and this other woman who I am still not sure how exactly I am related to. We drove a while until we decided to stop for breakfast at this really gentrified place, the food was ok. After finishing breakfast we drove more until we stopped at the federal prison that we were supposed to tour, which ended up just being a drive around the parking lot of the place before we proceeded on back to my home. At around 3:30pm we get back to my apartment and the first thing I notice is that my fucking roommate had left a mess as usual. I give them more of a tour of my place before my roommate decides to come out and introduce himself to the three, he then openly asks me if I was doing anything for my birthday to which I said no, he then asked if I wanted to do anything to which I said no again because I did not want to do anything at all with him. Things are going fine until Photography Aunt casually mentions that I am planning on going out to drink for my birthday, which has really pissed me off. I got a snap from my friend from high school named Vannie saying:
<so glad [mom's name] birthed you today
I unpacked a little bit after they had left before deciding to go to Walmart to buy some stuff. On the ride there these three black 'teens asked me for $15 so that they don't go to jail, which I thought made absolutely no sense and I didn't give them any money. After getting back from Walmart, I walked to this new church to attend mass there and it turns out that my friend who I have known for a long time who is also a soyteen was there, I will be calling him Xebec, but I didn't see him during the mass and he only texted me after it was done that he saw me. I eventually made my way down to the bar and I got a rum and coke which costs $7. I had one drink and witnessed these two old people, a bartender and a customer, both were married for over 20 years to other people and they had dated each other for a while and they were getting real flirty, so I just decided to leave. While waiting for the bus home, I texted my mom about me possibly buying these Coca-Cola cans with Jack Daniel's Whiskey in them and she criticized me for spending money on those Coca-Cola cans while I don't wash my bedsheets every week because it costs $4 in quarters to do so. After getting home on the bus I decided to call Asherah to tell her about me possibly becoming an usher, me being bombarded with advertisements for an Israeli streaming service, this Russian-Israeli artist who hates Mizrahi Jews for some reason, and she asked me if I was free on Friday to do try this drinking game for one of the films and I said yes so now I am doing that.
