    Yes I do. I countdown about 2 months before, wear a birthday crown, a sash and pin.

    Yes. You all got 8 days to think of ways to make it special.

    I can immediately think of 8 different ways of making it special, Jac.

    I am not kidding. We are freaking kindred spirits. Only you've figured your *kitten* out and I'm still working on it.

    May 19th :)

    Let's assume you're all grown up and not about to turn 21...

    Do you make a deal out of your birthday or not? And why?

    absolutely...it's a night that I usually have a decent chance of scoring...

    Side note: I feel really bad for people who have birthdays that either fall on major holidays like Christmas or on really awful days like September 11th. It's hard to be all "Yeahh!!! Let's celebrate!! Happy hour time!!" on 9/11...

    My boyfriend's brother's bday is on Halloween and I'm SO jealous. I would be so excited about getting to have a costume party every year for my birthday! But he totally wastes his cool birthday, and never even dresses up or anything. What a waste.

    No I dont, its just another day when hypocrite ppl show you how ´much´ they care about you, when they forget you the rest of the year. I dont like to get gifts either, I also feel it hypocrite, if you really feel like giving me one (not because the rest of the world tell you that you HAVE to give one) , well then, you have other 364 days a year to do it. Just not on my bday (nor xmas or valentines day lol, yes im a grinch so what!!)
    I deleted my bday of my fb, blocked ppl from posting in my wall.. and my bday is a few days away, so the ppl that really care about me will remember and send me a message. (not that I like that idea anyway.. but oh well, better than fake happy birthdays all around my wall!).

    *kitten* yes, I care. And I want everyone else to care too. I want to celebrate, and I want my friends and family to celebrate with me.

    I was not impressed when my brother's wife gave birth on my birthday. I love my niece to bits, but I will internally pout forever more because I don't get my own birthday cake anymore. I'm 32. She's 4. That adorable little wotsit will be winning the birthday every year until I turn 40. :grumble: :sad:

    My birthday has always fallen around Spring Break so it's always seemed like a holiday of sorts to me. I've had my birthday in awesome places like Disneyland and Hawaii and have taken advantage of birthday deals to do fun things with my own kids during spring break.

    I'm not a diva about it expecting parties or gifts, but I like an acknowledgement. Just to know that people care that I'm here.

    I haven't cared about my birthday since I turned 21 (11+ years ago). Do I want ppl to say happy birthday and maybe have my favorite dinner and a cupcake? Sure! But I don't need to countdown to my friends and everyone in my family or make a list of things I want or expect everyone in the world to stop and homage to my AWESOMENESS because I was cut from my poor mothers womb once upon a time...I have family/friends who do all of these annoying things and they're probably the reason birthdays are just another day to me.

    I AM A SPECIAL SNOWFLAKE DAMNIT...Look at me!!!

    My birthday is the most important day of the year, followed at a close second by my half birthday.
