Yesterday was my 17th birthday, so all day long, people were wishing me "Happy Birthday". After the first half dozen of such wishes, it really got me thinking. Do these people have any idea as to what they are saying? In this post, I'm not even going to touch about how sincere they are in their words, also because i think Nosey has already posted about that.
How happy was I on my birthday, I wonder to myself. Frankly speaking, not a lot. To me it was just another day. I woke up with some difficulty and rather late due to leftover camp-fatigue, touched the com for an hour, and went to work. So yea, unless I have been through substantial hell in the days before 30 March, I don't see how happy I can be.
Perhaps its due to the fact that I didn't call for any celebration, or simply because I chose to uphold tradition and abstain from celebrations for a year, or I simply kept refusing my parent's queries as to what I want for my birthday (its a bad economy nowadays, business isn't exactly booming).
So in short, despite all of your wishes, I'm afraid I simply didn't have a "Happy" Birthday. Also, I have yet to touch any of my presents. No offense to my present-givers.
So now, I'll end off with this quote:
"I find it pointless to celebrate my Birthday. I'd really rather celebrate my Fertilization Day, after all, that is the day I won the first race of my life."

Not to be an ass but a birth day is "product of fertilization day" and isn't that more awesome?
no. if you think about it, birth-day is the day where all those days of wild partying inside that comfy little womb where everything is provided for comes to an end.
uh, interesting take. But really, sincere or not, people WILL wish you happy birthday. I know people who actually likes making a birthday boy/girl feel "cool" on their "special" day, so yeh.
Don't worry, I don't celebrate my birthday either anyway. As a matter of fact, I've never gotten a birthday present before. No biggie. I think the real present is the people themselves I discovered in my life, not what they give.
oh. an even deeper take on the subject. very fascinating.
