oh. well. still, happy birthday, hope you get better soon, and have a nice weekend.

Well, on my birthday last year I tried to kill myself. Didn't work, so that was a downer...

This year was amazing though. I never had such a great birthday.


Anyway, I hope it got better for you today so you don't have to drink all weekend.
And even though it might not be apposite, I still wish you a happy birthday. How old did you get?
Not trying to be rude in any possible way, but if you tried killing yourself on your birthday, then surely any birthday is better than that?

OT: The worst I've had on my birthday was on my 17th, when I was sick on that day. And the day after. And for the rest of the week. Oh and did I mention that it was on a holliday? A one week holliday that ended just as soon as I got well. Woopie!

Well, at least you're employed OP. Mine's coming up in 2 weeks and this will be my first birthday unemployed in 9 years.

I'm milling over leaving my cellphone at home and renting a motel somewhere to pass the day. Don't want the calls. Really wish I could afford to rent companionship for the evening though.

And it has been pretty shitty so far. First off I had to go to work today & it has been a tradition of mine to take my birthday off, but thats impossible this year, so here I am. Today is payday, but my check is going to be shit because I missed a day this week due to being sick with my yearly cold I always get this time of year. To top the day off so far I just sandblasted my arm, which for those of you that don't know what that feels like, lets just say it hurts like a ***** & leave it at that. If today doesn't get just a little better I'm going to lock myself in my house all weekend & drink myself stupid. Ok mild rant out of the way....

Anyone else have a crappy birthday like that, or worse, or lets go the opposite route & talk about really awesome birthdays.
My 16th birthday present from my family was me not having to spend my birthday with my family.
The morning of my 18th birthday I was woken up by my sister walking around the house singing a song, the main words of which "My father is a ****! My father is a ****!" whilst she punched walls. I had just had a fight with my then fiance, the night before, but was unable to contact her because I was about 5,000 miles away and the time difference meant it was about 3 in the morning at the time.
My 19th birthday was spent in a dry state, unable to drink or smoke as my parents talked about the fact that they were both dying.
I spent my 20th birthday alone in a cold house, jetlagged to fuck.

Those are a few examples of crappy birthdays. Incredibly crappy birthdays. You get used to them after a while. Birthdays are somewhat meaningless anyway.

Congratulations on living through another year and getting one step closer to the grave though mate. Enjoy it. Be happy that you have a job in this shitty economy.

Sorry your birthday sucked. Most of my bithdays are not very memorable. My sisters on the other hand. They are twins and their bithday was last Tusday. And it was a whole day of me, my room mate and one of my sisters trying to cheer up the other sister because my parents sent her a card with the message 'You will burn in hell for going aginst God. You *****'. So yep bit of a downer.
The fuck? I won't ask about details or pry into your family life, but that would have been the day I ended up on the evening news, because I would have flipped out & gone off on my parents in an epic way.
I already tried that. They are too stupid and too ignorent for it to work. Here is the quick version. My sister told my parents that she was a lesbian, they kicked her out, my other sister left with her, my parents phoned me and told me I had to choose between my sisters and them, I told them to go fuck themselves and now my sisters are staying with me and my room mate.

Me, my non-lesbian sister and a few friends are having a do over birthday for her in a few days so that should cheer he up.

I know your feel bro, I've spent a good deal of my birthdays in pain, or starving, or alone and in pain and starving, Spent like 5-6 years purely reclusive, unemployed in a city where living costs are higher than anywhere else I've ever lived... let's just say it wasn't a good time in my life.

I had the best birthday of my life this year. I had the day off. Played x-box all morning. Had a delicious free dinner at a drug company sponsored talk and spent the night with my girlfriend of six months.

On my 17th birthday I was in France getting smashed every night with a bunch of people I barely new.
On my 18th birthday I'll be on a DofE expedition. Basically getting up groggy early in the morning for a whole day of walking through hills in possibly wet conditions with a large rucksack on my back. Would willingly have swapped the two around. The big one, the 18th, I'm spending on an expedition. Kinda funny actually.

I shouldn't complain really cos my birthday usually falls during the Easter holidays.

My birthday's haven't been particularly enjoyable for the last seven years or so, most of them have simply been "meh" as opposed to anything specifically wrong with them. But I do seem to always have had an argument or something just before them that doesn't exactly lift my spirits.

Urgh, it's coming up in two months time as well.

If you want something awesome to happen on your birthday, then help it happen. As in, you know... do something on your bucket list. Something far-out. ;D

Heh, hope things get better.

My 16th birthday was enjoyable, but from anyone else's perspective it was really lame. Just four dudes playing Call of Duty 4, with a four-pack of beer between us. Two of them don't even drink beer! It was like a scene out of the Big Bang Theory, only less shittily written and one-dimensional.

Well, if you look at it that way, I guess your right. :D
But this year was still awesome.

The worst I have had is neutrality. One year except for a happy birthday for parents nothing really happened.
This year (My 20th) was the second day of class on campus for me.
Nothing that bad, sucks about the arm blasting though.

I once got stomach flu on my birthday. That's probably the worst one yet. Although I don't care much about my birthday anyway. Oh, the earth made its way around the sun one more time? Nice job.
