it was a bit surprising getting things. I seriously wasn't expecting anything, I kind of forgot that people give you things. I didn't really think about it much.
I hid my birthdate on facebook, but if you guys could just post to my wall at ~10:37, it doesn't have to be anything, even "hbd" will be enough. if you could do that, i think it would be pretty cool.
i think that's ^ going to fail
well anyway I hid my birthdate which is a bit odd, because I made an effort to say happy birthday almost every time it was someone elses birthday, even if it was just a generic "i heard it's your...". And the reason I did that was because:
-I didn't want to feel guilty if someone posted happy birthday to me and i didn't for them
-other people might feel guilty for not posting happy birthday to me when I did for them
/if you could reword that second one so I don't sound like such a bastard
and then I hid it. I don't know how to explain exactly why
this isn't exactly true, but:
i don't need empty birthday wishes from people who were just told by facebook. Real birthday wishes from real people I know and value (aww) are all I need.
it's a bit weird that some of the people that knew remembered, because I don't know their birthdays. I don't know many birthdays. I hardly ever think of other's birthdays. I don't know if this is a fault of mine or something, or maybe my one is just easier to remember. I remember alice lu's birthday even though i don't know her at all, at all.
it just makes me wonder that if someone is thinking about me or my birthday, the odds are I'm not going to be thinking about them, or be there for their birthday. I wouldn't be thinking about them.
and it's something about taking more than you give that makes you feel a bit guilty, but a special kind of guilt. a special kind of guilt.
My mum said that birthday's shouldn't be a day of celebrating your existance but rather a day for appreciating your mother's'. Because if you think about it, your birthday is just your mother's day of suffering. something like that

I'm fairly sure it's taken from something else.

Also, happy birthday, when's the party? (Lol, j/k)
And, make sure the universe conspires to make your birthday the best.
I hid my birthday too, but more because I want to see who actually remembers it and who gets it from facebook
Here's the thing. I don't think I've hidden mine, but I don't care because I won't be on FB to read it, and it only matters in real life.
Plus, I'll get to see who REALLY cares.
I'm going to quit Facebook so if any of you don't get a Facebook message from me saying happy birthday, then you'll know why.
Hey icedtrees last year matt decided to make his facebook birthday not his real birthday to see how many people weren't his real friends. There were so many people who wished him it was sad
Oh man I missed 10:37 because no computer, happy late 10:37
