Forgetting Birthdays

[Prinniesdood]

I Fergot ma' Own Burfday crying

Well, it's been about 10 days after my birthday, April 22, 2009.

I was invited to a dinner on my birthday (which i still haven't realized even by the time I got there and my friends and family were there to celebrate it) and was handed a couple of envelops which i did not open till i got home that evening.

By the time i realized that it was my birthday that day, It was already around 1:50 am, the next day...

They all said "Happy Birthday" to me, but i was busy stuffing my face with food.

Apparently, that dinner was my birthday party.

I don't forget my birthday, but I have been forgetting how old I am. It's horrible not remembering how old you are. I imagine it would be similar to forgetting the date of your birthday as well.

Prinnie! You silly duffer. Didn't you even wonder why people were handing you envelopes and stuff? xd

A very happy, and very belated, birthday to you. smile

Oh wow! I've never had that happened to me before. I eagerly wait for the big day every year. :3

I've never forgotten my birthday, but I think it really depends on how old you are if you remember it or not. I mean has a kid turning 16, 18, or 21 forgotten their birthday? Those are big ones. But after 21, who cares?

Last year, my dad got angry that I was saying "Happy birthday, dad" to him one day. He was all, "It's not my birthday!"

I went, "Uh... yes it is. Today's the 3rd of November. A Friday. Your birthday." He goes, "Oh... yeah, I guess you're right" and he take the card I was giving him. I laughed at him for it later. I had gotten scared for a minute that it really wasn't his birthday, but I know I had checked the calendar to make sure. xd

I don't forget birthdays. It's just a matter of me remembering to do something about it.

Thank you, Prinnie... I thought I was the only one that did that... >_>

I barely remember my gf's birthday. s' and I remember my parents' and siblings' but then it gets to the day of and I suddenly forget. I almost forgot my own this year.

I have to stop and think for a moment before I remember my age. "Am I 21 or 22 or 23...?"
I do not remember other people's birthdays unless I'm reminded repeatedly or it coincides with some other holiday or day of significance.

Also, aside from sharing my birthday with my brother, I was born on the same day (and in the same year) as two other guildies. 3nodding

I haven't yet forgotten my birthday, but it has almost sneaked up on me a few times.

Anyway, happy belated birthday, Prinnie!  

[Prinniesdood]

gonk Oh...right...23...  

[Prinniesdood]

At least you can remember your birthday and your age in a snap... cry  

[Thaliat Everwood]

At least you can figure it out...I still need to calculate my brothers' ages. sweatdrop
