As you may know last Monday was my b-day,
And funny enough that was also the day 4 flicks came out in Europe! Perfect for my �friends�, who normally do not know what to buy me.

So they gave me clear instructions (very clear!), I still remember since it�s only about 2 weeks ago.

They said: �don�t buy 4 flicks, cos we will get it for your birthday�.

I am pretty sure they did NOT say: �don�t buy 4 flicks and we won�t either. Or �don�t buy 4 flicks cos we will buy it for you... someday...maybe�

So let�s do a little math; what�s today's date? The 22nd, correct! When was my b-day? The 17th, right again.

Now if we deduct 17 from 22 we get 5, which is the exact amount of days that I�ve been waiting.

5 fucking days that I�ve been without 4 flicks. And believe me, my life is not so exciting that have a lot of other things to do than to sit in front of the tv.

And in the meantime i'm reading about 5 thousand post here about how great the dvd is.

So, what do I do? Do I wait until they buy it (at some point) or do I go to the shop myself and get it, thus offending my �friends�?

This whole thing makes me sick.

caro Try to look depressed, and each time someone asks you a question, wait a few seconds and then answer "oh......I feel so ooOOOOld!" Meanwhile you direct a look full of reproach at your friends.

If they don't understand, you should change friends.

egon clearly you don't know my friends.

they don't care, they're bastards.

Martha I've been too broke to get FF yet, egon, so don't feel too bad. You aren't alone.....it will still be there.

I can barely read those 5K posts either...sigh.......

Yet...they give me hope!

FF soon!

Oh, if your "friends" are bloody "bastards" then.....you aint' gettin' a belated gift from 'em.

Sincerely,
The older, wiser once-bitten-twice-shy..Martha
