Upcoming Birthday


Birthdays

Well my friends I am on a mission - to pick a new Birthday for myself, for you see, sometimes your date of birth is well - cursed. I used to think that I had a great birthday - exactly 6 months from Christmas - I knew what I was doing, planned this right and got gifts a the best times of year - but nope I was wrong.

Let me explain. In my almost 27 years of life I have had - count them 5 memorable, good birthdays.

Yes I am sure that birthdays that occurred before I can recall them were good; though I often wonder since I'm often told that I wouldn't even touch my cake when I turned a year old - and when they put my hand in it - yeah I pitched a fit.


Ok Quick Recap of some of the bad ones.

17th Birthday - jerk I was dating showed up late to my party - because he was making out with one of my then friends

18th Birthday - jerk I was dating (different jerk this time) decided he was going to break up with me - that day - what a winner

21st Birthday - Gave up my Birthday to attend an NSYNC concert with my sister (don’t laugh) only to find out that their stage had been blown down, concert rescheduled - too late to rearrange plans - celebrated with a horrible strawberry daiquiri

24th - that wasn't necessarily bad- just - Bittersweet

25th Birthday - The Golden Birthday; I was going to live it up - exhausted, fell asleep before 11

Ok - here's the good ones - careful they're brief

23rd - finally managed to have a great boyfriend (yeah for getting rid of the jerks!). Had a nice dinner, kept it low key and really just enjoyed myself.

26th - fun, fun fun. Went to Howl at the Moon - friends did everything to make sure I had a blast & I did - such a good time in fact that I thought I broke the Bad Birthday Spell

27th - we shall see - going back to Howl at the Moon (isn't there some warning about recreating stuff that I should aware of?) - Jury's still out on my, well I don’t know what to call him, for now will just say "the man I can't give up on, even though he seems to be giving up on us" - regardless I'm going to try to not let him ruin my day.

So as one can imagine, getting older is never fun and with the uneasiness I am feeling about my birthday - who knows.

Can you make a wish before hand?
