I am a horrible friend.

April is a busy month in my life in terms of birthdays. I have 4 friends with birthdays within a 7 day period. Now I am pretty on top of it when it comes to birthdays and today happened to be one of my friends birthdays. I remembered all day yesterday and all day today I remembered it was her birthday but didn't want to call her early in the day to wish her a happy b-day because she works nights and sleeps late.

Fast forward to 7:15pm. I am getting out of my mom's car at the Pioneer Center to go see a show and this friend calls me. I am assume she is calling me about our plans for tomorrow night and just start talking about that. Finally she goes "Isn't there something that you want to say?"

I paused. I paused because for a split second I was completely, utterly clueless about what she was talking about. NO IDEA AT ALL. All the sudden it dawned on me. "Happy Birthday" I almost screamed. She totally knew that I had forgotten. The worst part is I probably only forgot for like 30 minutes that it was her birthday and she just happened to call me during that period.

So yeah, I am a horrible friend and now I don't know what to do because even though I've bough her a present and am taking her to dinner tomorrow night, I am going to get marked as the jackass who didn't even call her friend on her birthday.
