Your Birthday!

[Legion]

I don't even celebrate my birthday.
No parties, no presents.

This is starting to get freaky.

I don't have parties, but get given presents even though I don't ask for any.

This. I mean, what the point?

The point is to get presents :/

Happy Birthday OP! Mine is actually this friday. I'm not sure what I'm doing, but I'm getting myself Prototype and plan on spending all day with that.

Thanks xD I actually planned to spend my birthday with Prototype(or my gf), but I got exams in two days, so I postponed it :/

That's the reason I made this thread(aside from interest in your birthdays), because I wasn't able to celebrate it IRL

Happy birthday, Neuromasser.
As for the actual subject of this topic... Hmmm... I don't really know. It's only two months away but I will probably think about something until then.

To me, birthdays have always felt like a poor attempt at adding excitement to our mundane lives. Why waste your money on presents and cake when you can spend it on Pot Noodles and pie?

I will celebrate becoming 17 by... umm... I don't know it's too far away.

It's my birthday today. I'm officially no longer a teenager. Not sure how I feel about this.

Srsly dawg.
"Woohoo, I have successfully survived another year! I am god, baby!"
Not quite.

That's exactly my point.

I'm planning on spending my next birthday with my band, mostly because i will most likely get alot of musical equipment as presents.

My birthday was 15 days ago and I've finally had a family meal with my parents/siblings (who I live with).

It can be somewhat difficult to organize a real celebrations, especially as my bday coincides with exam period. However I'll do something for my next birthday, as it's my 21st and I didn't do anything for my 18th.

I don't celebrate my birthday barely anyone knows when it is.

Oh man, I'm turning 22 this year. When did that happen? Time seems like it's sped up.

Good lord, you're old.
You'll be dead soon, you know.

Yeah, yeah, I know; you've already told me. But to be fair, you said you'd die before you got to be my age, so you'll be dead soon as well.

Plus, I don't really see the point in celebrating another year survived.
(This only applies to me, for some reason. I celebrate other peoples birthdays like nobodies business)

I seem to find myself doing that as well. My own birthday doesn't seem all that important but I do love to celebrate my friend's birthdays.

I'm going to be in the land of Aus. I'll have good weather on my birthday F**K YEAH!

Pretty much.

I usually visit my parents and let them cook dinner for me. It's important to them that it's my birthday, and it's important to visit your parents once in a while, so yeah. I don't really care about my birthday.

Happy birthdays!

Mines January 1st, so i have no need to plan anything. Everyones in town and soon as it hits midnight theres a townful of drunk people, alot of whom know its my birthday, soo no need for anything other than that.

On my 18th I did go into town the day after with afew good mates stupidly hungover to get afew drinks for my 18th, but other than that had a private party thats just about me since I was little. No need

It happens after awhile. I stopped paying attention to my birthday a few years ago. It's always surprising when I get a call from someone saying "Happy Birthday!" and I respond "Really? Huh...".

Really? I find that hard to believe, even if you don't care about your birthday, you must realise in advance that its coming up, unless you never look at a calander.

I stopped celebrating once I realized I was basically celebrating the fact I hadn't gotten myself killed for another year.

I have a good feeling about next year.

That sounds like a much better reason to celebrate than the standard "I was born X years ago today".

You aren't happy you survived another year?

 

[imperialwar]

well my joy for both Christmas and birthdays were both killed by my mother saying: "this year we wont have much money for a party, or presents, or much of anything." Then around my 18th B'day she was put back in the Asylum for the 5th time in 5 years. So i said to myself "screw it, it's just another day." Its only now that i am married and my wife makes a big fuss about my b'day that i even bother getting out of bed for it.

For her Bday and christmas i am usually the family cook, so every one comes to our place for dinner, or lunch.

I think I will just chill. Maybe do something with some friends

All people that have birthday today should pop into the Escapist Birthday Party and party!
