Today is supposed to be fun and exciting because today was my birthday.  I am finally 19 years old and I can legally drink in Canada which is super cool...even though I'm American and that doesn't qualify for me. So that sucks, but this is even worse!

Everyone has forgotten my birthday...even Jack and Lindsay, which really hurt me. And because everyone forgot, its become the worst day ever. 

We didn't have hockey practice today, which everyone seemed really happy about. We've been playing an awful lot this past week, more than usual that is. We were in North Carolina last week Monday and then Maine on Wednesday and Toronto on Friday...all this traveling is making me get bags under my eyes. I legit am starting to look like a zombie. 

 We have been training hard on and off the ice and have really improved as individuals. And so far Herb has sent four people home. I didn't really know them that well, so it didn't really effect me that much. 

Even though we were given the day off, a bunch of us went to the gym early this morning to get some sort of exercise in for the day. Although after the gym...everyone ditched me. Even Jack which was weird. 

I get that couples need their space, but Jack is always hanging out with me. Its usually me who is trying to find ways to get away from him..not the other way around! And of all days to ditch me, he just had to choose my birthday! 

He's been distant from me all day...like this morning he barley said a word to me. Everyone has been ignoring me. Like I thought it was weird when Rizzo was doing it this morning...but now Jack is too. I mean he chose fricken Rizzo over me...his girlfriend! But it only gets worse from there. 

My best friend since diapers, my partner in crime, my soul sister...Lindsay, yeah, she decided to spend the day with McClanahan leaving me all alone on my birthday. She ditched me for her boyfriend! 

 Lindsay just recently moved to Minnesota's University to play for the Mustangs, meaning I'll be seeing her more often. Which I was thrilled about...like my best friend is finally in the same state as me again, this was awesome!

But the downside of this whole thing  is that she has a boyfriend now. So all her free time is spent with McClanahan. And I guess I shouldn't really complain about that because I kinda do the same thing with Boston, but like I still I wouldn't forget my best friends birthday..like ever! 

I just found it strange that she also forgot about my birthday today. Mine was easy to remember because its the same day as halloween. But Lindsay has never done something like forgetting my birthday before. We were too close to each other to forget important things like this. So, in other words...something was definitely up. 

 My whole team and best friend were missing on my birthday...theres no way this is a coincidence that they forgot. I've been like reminding them for the past week that my birthday was coming up so therefore it was impossible that they could have forgotten it. But then again they are dumb boys. 

" happy birthday to me, happy birthday to me" I sang to myself before taking a swig from the bottle of wine I had in my hand. I finished it off and rolled over on my side facing the wall. 

I've been lazy all day....and I was getting really angry the more I thought about Lindsay, Jack and the guys. I needed to burn off some steam...and no better place to do it then on the rink. 

I changed into my red Lulu leggings and my black nike sweater and then slipped on my white converse. I  grabbed my keys before heading out to the parking lot and getting into my truck.
