Four For Friday
Four For Friday - The Birthday Edition
Q1 - Today: Some people go out of their way to tell everyone they know that today (or pick your day) is their birthday, while others avoid it like a contagious bacterial disease characterized by fever and wicked bad diarrhea (for example, I once spent an entire day with someone and never knew it was his birthday because he never told me). Do you tell people when it’s your birthday or do you prefer to keep it to yourself?
I prefer to keep it to myself. I don’t go out of my way to tell anyone that it’s my birthday. I don’t know why I’m like that.
Q2 - Keeping Track: How do you keep track of birthdays (BirthdayAlarm.com, a little black book, good memory, your computer calendar, Facebook, etc.)?
I have a really good memory when it comes to birthdays.
Q3 - Celebrating: How do you like to celebrate your own birthday? Do you do anything special for yourself, have a tradition you adhere to, take the day off from work and the rest of the world, etc.?
I usually just refrain from doing much housework on my birthday, and eat out so I don’t have to cook. Sometimes I’ll have a birthday cake, but more often I don’t.
Q4 - Change: Some of the kids I grew up with felt cheated by the fact that their birthday was in late-June, July, or August… meaning, they never got to celebrate their birthday in school like all of the kids whose birthdays fell on a school day. If you could change your birthday, would you, and if so, what date would you move it to and why?
I would change my birthday to sometime in winter or spring. Reason being my birthday falls within the first week of school, and I was always older than the rest of the class.
