happyI've always liked my birthday in terms of time of year (winter) and numbers involved (1/5/78). I have always disliked my birthday in terms of where it falls on the modern calendar, since being born right after Christmas is a really good way to wind up annually rooked for parties and presents. This was a big issue for me when I was a kid. All the other kids got to bring in cupcakes and goody bags! I got to bring...the end of Winter Vacation. Um. Sorry about that, guys. I didn't mean to be the school year's personal seasonal monarch.
As I've gotten older, this has mattered less, largely because I am no longer forced to look longingly at the cupcake heaps of others. Now, I can buy my own damn cupcakes, and I don't have to share them with the rest of the class. I usually wind up sharing them anyway, because who needs to eat that many cupcakes, but still.
Today, I'm going to finish packing for GaFilk (I fly to Georgia tomorrow), do my normal Wednesday errands, go out for Indian food with my mother, my sister, and Kate, and attempt to reassure my cats that I'm coming back, honest, really, I swear. At some point, I may find a way to obtain some cupcakes.
Happy birthday, me! I've survived another trip 'round the sun.
Bring on the next one.

Its my husband's 30th today, too. I should probably go find him a cupcake. :) We will eat an extra in your honor.

*sings* (to the tune of the Volga Boatmens' (?) Song)
Happy birthday!
Happy birthday!
May the candles on your cake
Burn like cities in your wake!
Happy birthday!
*grins* I'll refrain from posting any of the huge number of following verses. Still, heartfelt best wishes to you on this most felicitous day!

I had the same problem as you. My birthday is in the middle of August. Summer break! I never had a chance to bring cupcakes either and it was sad.
Anyway, Happy Birthday to you!

...but the velociraptors got them.
Happy birthday anyway. And may surviving your next year involve more good things and less bad things.

Got my CD today :D *cuddles it* Also, am now laughing at myself, as I finally realise who Vixy is otherwise. I didn't before, as you never use her full name, but I actually covered one of her songs at an open mic a few years ago. *grin*
