It's Almost Time!

Ah, we once again gather to anticipate the anniversary of crappy things happening on my birthday. Oh boy! I can't wait to find out how it's going to suck this year!

I, too, have experienced bad birthday karma although not to the same degree as you have.

On my 19th birthday, I awoke still as a board from a tentanus shot I had received the day before. (I had shot a staple into my big toe with a pneumatic staple gun at work and had to drive myself to the ER.) I remember that I literally crawled to the phone, called into work and verbally submitted my resignation. That day I also made the decision to run away from home and join the circus.

I read your account of your birth. I loved your description of it. You definitely have a gift with words.

Have a happy birthday.

January babies have all the fun. I'm January 22...but I've never had such bad birthday Karma as you.

I hope you have a happy, and bad karma-free birthday tomorrow, MB.

My birthday reigns as the day my parents put their beloved Lab to sleep.

Hey, Happy Birthday :).
Mine's the 13th of January ... received a most ticklish card from a friend in Michigan saying, "Aren't you just revelling in the irony of YOUR birthday being on Black Friday?" Yes, yes I am, moohahahaaaaaaaaa ;). I turned 13, in a delightfully and equally ironic fashion on Black Friday many moons ago, and it's all been downhill from there ever since ;).
Have a good one :).

birthdays are for wimps. i have the worst birthday ever: december 30th. that means every christmas present from relatives included a card that said " for christmas and your birthday too," not that it ever equaled two presents like my sisters got. throughout elementary school, i never ONCE has the birthday party where mom brought cupcakes, 'cause we were on christmas holiday (this tells you how old i am; it was before "winter break")..and in college, every one of my friends was off skiiing in colorado or some such shit...and even when i had friends close by, they all said the exact same thing. "we're going out tomorrow night for new year's eve and we'll celebrate then!" i'm well into shirley maclaine age, and i've never ONCE had a birthday party that didn't include only immediate family members buying me presents they bought on christmas clearance...
