Mehmani Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 Mine is on Christmas Day, so instead of getting the double haul of presents I receive a load of two-birds-with-one-stone "Merry Christmas & Happy Birthday" presents, the cheapskates. Discuss your birthdays and what they are normally like? Do your family actually care or do they shower you with gifts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blake Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 All vut my mom truly care, and I get everything I want, usually. 'Cept people actually REMEMBERING my bday, sans immediate family >> I don't want much, anyways. 1 game or w/e is fine =\ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Icy Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 I just ask for one thing. That my mom not smoke on that day, I deny any gifts and explain to her. That her not smoking is the sole gift that I want from her, even if for one day make it that day. She didn't oblige on my last birthday and thus my day was miserable.

Βyakuya Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 My birthdays nowadays is just get the immediate family in the house, get a cake, say Happy Birthday, and we eat it, and no presents. I just want remembrance for my birthday.....And cash. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
.Starrk Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 My birthday was on the 4th of this month. I received a soccer jersey from one of my favorite team and $300. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fusion X. Denver Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 I used to be showered with gifts, but as I matured, I stopped wanting everything and now I only get the things I really desire. Unfortunately, my entire family is under the impression I'm a bookworm when I'm really not, so I always get books from everyone outside the immediate family :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cin Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 Same old same old. Go for a meal with family and friends if my mum is off. If not wait a few days to do so. My best one was an early birthday present, me and my mother went to Silverstone as a present. A ticket for all 3 days of the Formula 1 it was awesome.

Dark Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 Once you have a job and make money and buy your own stuff, you kind of lose interest in "birthday presents". I mean, why go bug someone to get you something when you have the money to drive to the mall and get it yourself? Birthday parties are still fun, though, no matter how old you get. =P [i]Mine is on Christmas Day[/i] Erm... didn't know we were born on the same day. Should I be excited or downright miserable? <3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Christian Exodia Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 My birthday's on Halloween. Pizza/Cake AND Candy. I got a pull-a-part cake last year, and it lasted a good while. I get $100, more or less, each year, and sent to spend it any way I want. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Qu@ke Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 I really don't acknowledge my birthday to much, I'm no different from anyone else. I was given life, and it will inevitably be taken away; same as the rest of nature. If someone wishes me a happy birthday, I will respectfully accept as custom dictates and if someones want's to make a cake and some dinner or plan me a party; that too I will accept. As far as actually going out of my own way to celebrate it is not something I do, however. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marisa Kirisame-ze Posted June 14, 2011 Report Share Posted June 14, 2011 My birthday's the day before Halloween. My family and my friends usually do something awesome for me~ Or I just plan a get together with my best friends, and we do crazy fun things. As for gifts, I usually get one major gift and one smaller gift. For instance, I got a camera one year and some clothing, and on a different year, I got a tablet and some clothing. This year, I might get an iPhone. I like gadgets. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tentacruel Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 I turn 18 soon, so the presents will eventually cease. </3 Usually, I get one rather large present, but I don't always get it right away. My last few presents were a DS Lite, an acoustic guitar, and a guitar effects system. I think there was one birthday inbetween the guitar and the effects system, but I don't recalll.

Dwarven King Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 I get a couple of games...maybe a book or two...and that's pretty much it. Oh, and my grandparents take me out to eat since my birthday is the same day as my grandpa's birthday. Other than that, I just go around and do what I do everyday...nothing. :< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Makο Posted June 15, 2011 Report Share Posted June 15, 2011 As I've been getting older, I've gotten less and less. Not really complaining, though. The only thing I want when my birthday finally comes around would be cash and a new pair of wireless head phones. I wore those things everyday since my last birthday, until they broke. Man, I miss them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flash Flyer - Sakura Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 I usually get some cash and if I've kept up with whatever my parents ask for, then I get other stuff (i.e. new video games, collector's tins, etc.). And of course, cake. Other than that, my b-days are like every other day. My RL friends know but they don't get me anything (although I don't mind) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Master White Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 Uh, birthdays, its all coming to haunt me....how dare you.... No, nuthing really happens except I have an aunt that likes to get some our family members together and invite them up to her house and makes me supper and cake....its starting to get annoying but its my aunt.....she has to terrorize me just for the sake of terrorizing....but yea, family only lives about 3 to 5 miles apart, not many.....so when I'm around, she decides all this if its my B-Day.....I got a watch from her.....This year my dad was going to do it, got me 50 dollars..... Well, b/c I'm 21 years old, I'm starting to think I really don't want that kind of treatment and just give me money if your gonna do anything....or don't do a thing.... The only things I ever want is things I have to provide myself with, i;e, things you can't buy.....but money would be appreciative to aid in the things money can't buy..... So, yea, birthday's are starting to look meh and really really will get annoyed if people try to throw me a party next yr.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

King of Nothing Posted June 16, 2011 Report Share Posted June 16, 2011 Today's my birthday. I usually just invite some friends over.

Nightmare Moon Posted June 23, 2011 Report Share Posted June 23, 2011 [font="Arial"]Man.. birthdays. So many f***in' memories. Well, for my birthday/graduation (My b-day was Tuesday and my Graduation was on Saturday), I got lots of cool stuff such as the following: 2 packs of the [i]Extreme Victory[/i] Yu-Gi-Oh! Booster Pack, 2 Card Collection Sleeves and Boxes, 2 new swimsuits, and 2 new dresses (one for the beach or something, and one for my graduation). And as for my Graduation party, wow. Let me tell you. It. Was. Epic. xD I mean, seriously. It was. I got, a new Pink lamp for my room, Pink Curtains, an iPod Touch, a Graduation mug, tons of Graduation/B-day cards (and 2 came from my Aunt Virginia), my Change Jar filled with coins, and XBox 360 (came with the Kinect. That was party of my b-day list but I never metioned it). All in all, my days were awesome and I'll never forget them for the rest of my life and for as long as I live.[/font] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
