So it's my birthday on the 21st. At first it's pretty awesome but then it's like who gives a crap?

The title explains it all.

In a matter of days it's my birthday, my 20th. First, it's not as huge as the big ol' 21st birthday but it's still pretty awesome that I'm ascending to the second decade alive without managing to lose my life.

So I was sort of excited.

Then I realised just who I'd be spending my birthday with.

My family, as good as their intentions are, are split down the middle thanks to the cock-handed escapades of my mother who decided life living on the couch with a part time job and a decent home to brag about wasn't good enough, so she ran off with some random biker who apparently was friends with my father in the good ol' days, meaning that whatever happy moment I seem to find in this otherwise awkward situation during my birthday will be abruptly quenched by my father insisting that my mother should just go ahead and die.
(Because we haven't heard that enough for the past 2 years)

My girlfriend, my angel, unfortunately finds herself in Scotland on a job. What she does is of no concern however I can say that involves her to travel at times and no, you silly creep, she's not a high class prostitute. Now go wash your sweaty ball-sack smelling hands before dirtying your keyboard further.

My friends were my biggest hope. Usually on Saturdays we, as a group of about... 10 or 12 of us would find ourselves in one of our houses to party or just to even hang out in front of the TV with a games console or an incredibly bad movie. Regrettably, a split between me and one of my so called "Friends" led to being singled out of the group despite being the person who hosts most of these parties in my own house. What are friends for eh?

So, 20th birthday. Drinks all around.

(Note: I'm messaging as a means to get this off my chest, not a ***** session in which I can seek attention for the purpose of a five minute thrill. I'm not that desperate... No really.)

don't worry bro i know how you feel, my 19th birthday was on janurary 10th and i spent my day basically all alone cause i had my college class in the morning and both my parents work my dad works out of town and my mom works as a secretary.

so i got to spend the entire day at my house by myself and the only company i had were my two dogs and to add salt to the wound the time most of my family got home i had to go to work and i didn't get home till 9:30. so i had an epic birthday and i hope yours is better

No, you've survived two decades, you're entering your third decade. You "ascended" to the first decade of your life when you were born, you went into the second on your tenth birthday, and now it's going to be the end of the second and beginning of the third.

Still, enjoy your 20th. Have fun, and who cares if you're drinking in silence, just be wary in case of a surprise party, so don't go befouling everyone's names too quickly when you're no longer in your right mind.

I think Birthdays lose their charm after the teens. Past few years I've just been 'meh' about it.

I had a similar experience at around that age myself. Everyone is growing up and changing and losing friends is just part of the process. I had a group of around 12 people I would hang out with all through high-school and then through arguments and change, I started to dislike the ringleader of that circus and found myself more or less alone. I have my few good friends and my girlfriend and my family now.

Stinks about your Mom and that your GF has to be out of town. Just remember that it is the people that are with you now that are important, not those who aren't. People dwell on what they don't have too much. Hears to hoping you have a wonderful birthday.

Happy Birthday!

My 20th will be coming up on April 16th. My nana has altziemers so will forget as will my granddad. My auntie is all into Church so will probably forget until the next day. No point counting on my uncle for memory. My fiance will probably forget lol (typical man). My mum is no longer with us (she died 3 months before my 19th), my dad pretends I dont exist to his family and has no contact with me, my other uncle is dead... my friends? They only know its my birthday because of facebook. I bet if i remove the birthday event thing, no-one will notice when my birthday is besides maybe 2 or 3 people.


Yeah, I think the OP had a better birthday then what he thought he would... He got to go out with his girlfriend to a club and out with his sister for a meal, I gave him a couple of quid to buy himself a few of his favourite drinks, gave him a birthday hug (he even got one off my fiance)....


Yup, friends try their best to make up to you what you dont have... amazing it can all fall wrong just a week later over a pathetic college issue.

You said it. 20th isn't that big, I was very excited about my 20th last April, what a boring pile of wank it turned out to be, hell, just go out and get drunk, you're old enough!

Happy Birthday way in advance, too :)
