I Guess This Is Growing Up
Making birthday plans as an adult kind of sucks. Remember when you were a kid, and your birthday was all that mattered? Apparently, your 24th birthday is not that big of a deal. And I don't really want it to be either.
Previously, I've always not gone to class on my birthday, so I could spend the day doing my favorite thing (wearing pajamas and watching television). This year, I really need to go to class because of the intense course load. So I'll be spending most of my birthday day hunched over a drafting table.
Then, my boyfriend has an exam in his ecology class in the evening so I won't even see him until after 8. Sure, I could just go out with friends, but he's the one I want to spend my birthday with. So we'll go to a late-ish dinner, but I can't even stay out that late because I have to work on Friday, and I do much better when I'm not exhausted and hungover.
Oh well. It won't be that bad. At least I have someone to be upset with for not spending time with me on my birthday, I suppose. I think I'll let this one slide, but my 25th birthday had better be fucking huge.

Happy birthday!
And I always spend my birthday in class (well unless the semester ends early or summer semester starts late).
Usually I'm taking a test. I'm pretty sure that god hates me.
Happy birthday! As you get older, you'll realize that you need to plan your birthday around weekends before or after the actual day. I hope you get to do something fun, though.
So, when I visit your blog, for some reason it pulls up a Twitter username and password box and tries to make me put in my info. You may want to look into that.
Hippy bertday =)
Happy birthday!!!
My family made me a cake I can't eat anymore (because of the ingredients) for my birthday. No card. No party. No gifts. No eating out. Nothing.
I was on deadline for a project at the time but it still sucked.
Birthdays and holidays become about someone else the older you get. Sorry.
I agree with Adam. You have to plan something or everyone drops the ball.
I just realized, you are the same age as my brother, he turns 24 in a couple weeks. I don't know how I feel about this...
Happy Birthday!
So you too are part of the November club! So far there have been 5 of us! Um, I have learned the same thing Adam said...party before or after, on the weekend. Also, *I* make a huge deal of it then make others tag along...haha.
Avitable send me to say Happy Birthday - so happy birthday! I hope it's the best so far, despite his ecology exam.
:)
Happy Birthday hun! Enjoy the day, even if you aren't doing anything amazingly huge ;)
oops.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!!!
Birthdays are very important. If you can't celebrate on The Day then make sure to find a day where you can.

Avitable- Thank you! I think I fixed the twitter issue
Grant- Think Yew?
Ajooja- Thank you- And it wasn't so bad in the end, I suppose
Robin- Ha, I know. But I promise not to leave a condom on your floor.
Hilly- Thanks- And more than half the staff at my work has a birthday in november- this week alone there were three (thurs, fri, and saturday)
Immoral Matriarch- Thank you- It wasn't bad at all
Sarcastica- Thank you!
