In reply to HAPPY ** BIRTHDAY!!...., posted by LegWarmers on December 20, 2005, at 7:03:01
Thanks everyone...but THANK GOD it's over now! I don't know how many other Christmas babies are on here, but I absolutely HATE my birthday. It's been horrible and lonely for the last 20 years because of Christmas (and I'm only 29!). I'm like the Grinch around this time because I want my birthday to be about me. Unfortunately, it never is. I'm just tired of my birthday being forgotten IRL because of last minute shopping and/or holiday parties. The forums I'm apart of (for various hobbies) are the only place I get any acknowledgement. This forum is an example.
But I do have to say...I love all the free stuff I get for my birthday. For those of you who don't know...a lot of places will send you emails for free stuff. You just sign up on their websites. For example, I get a free meal at Tony Roma's (bbq place), a free burger at Red Robin, a free super combo at Loews Theaters, something free at Famous Dave's (bbq place), 2 for 1 blizzard at Dairy Queen, and a few other treats. That's usually what my birthday consists of...getting all this free stuff. I just end up having to do it alone.
No cards, no gifts (other than a $100 check from my parents), and no phone calls. No wonder I'm considering just sleeping through my next birthday. <sigh> At least I don't have to worry about it for another 364 days. :-)
Thanks again for the birthday wishes.
