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.

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.MaxTheReaper said:
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.Monkfish Acc. said:

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.Vern said:
That sounds like a much better reason to celebrate than the standard "I was born X years ago today".WanderFreak said:
You aren't happy you survived another year?
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.

Happy birthday xD
I see the importance of birthdays, not just to show you've 'survived' another year, though the thought does cross, i believe, everyone's minds. I see it as that one day in that 365(.25) that is 'your's', a day to reflect on your past, what you've done since your conscious existence and what you try to do for the future. In another sense, along with it being 'your' day, a birthday is like the myspace/facebook/bebo/... of life, to edit and do with it as you see fit.
Despite this i don't celebrate my birthday lol. Mostly not having anything to look back on or forward too. Plus i have most of the possessions that I could get with my parent's budget. regardless any gift is a great gift to me. I tend to spend that 21st of may () In my room like any other day, gaming, preferably with a significant other.

Actually i did exactly this this year, I only realized 4 days before my birthday and purely because someone commented on my only being 15. I did know that i was soon to be 16.. i just didn't realize how soon hehFragamoo said:
I only celebrate my birthday when it falls on a friday.
Last year I just happened to plan to go to Disneyland with my love.
So essentially once every 7-15 years depending if leap year fucks with my birthday.
My 21 birthday was on a friday. and my next will be in the year 2012 when I am 27.
I resolved to stop celebrating after my 16th birthday since one of my best friends died in a car crash 3 days after my 16th.
To this day, being 24 now, I still can't fully celebrate my birthday because of it.
Just the pain of remembering her death.
Oh and if yall are wondering, I was born on the 13th hence why I celebrate on Fridays.
