Waldo Posted July 20, 2016 Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 Around the time your birthday presents are: Spending the couple hundred bucks to renew the tags on your car. Spending a few hours at the DMV renewing your drivers license. Good times. When (if?) birthday sex is no longer a thing, then birthdays will really suck. 2 Quote currently cutting battle log challenges: 21,20, 19,18,17,16,15,14,13,12,11,10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,1 don't panic!

Raincloak Posted July 20, 2016 Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 I haven't had an awesome birthday in... years and years. None of my friends care enough to throw me a party and I'm usually too busy at work to throw myself one. I consider it a good birthday if my brother (who has the SAME birthday) bothers to wish me a happy one via the internet or text message. (Forget actually using the phone to make a call. I used to try calling him but he never got the hint). I think Facebook is the only reason anyone notices it's my birthday. Maybe one of these years I'll organize a cool party, but I'm still burned from a holiday party I organized years ago, invited dozens of people, had 10 or so RSVPs.... and zero, count 'em zero, attendees. That hurt. Quote Every saint has a past, and every sinner has a future. Hylian Assassin 5'5", 143 lbs. Half-marathon: 3:02It is pitch dark. You are likely to be eaten by a grue. Link to comment
Raincloak Posted July 20, 2016 Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 Ps self pity aside, I guess the moral is: if you want fun, you might as well make it yourself.

Luds Posted July 20, 2016 Report Share Posted July 20, 2016 Birthdays started to suck at 36, and be thankful for that. For 37+ bashes are Bacchanalia. You will celebrate the realisation that you are alive and also that you will die. You will tell the deserving that you love them and decide to ignore the rest. You will realise that the universe is aware and grins at you. Everything will make a little bit more sense. And when the sun rises it will laugh, point your way and hiss a red hot "Duuuuuude!" your way. Apart from that, it'll be pretty much the same as when you turned 36. So in essence: Hang in there and listen to what the madness is trying to teach you. 1 Quote Remember that sensory deprivation causes hallucinations Link to comment

zeroh13 Posted July 25, 2016 Report Share Posted July 25, 2016 Honestly, my birthday's started sucking when I was a kid. Cause no one ever showed up to my birthday parties. I gave up on them a long time ago... I want my 30th (next year) to be the opposite of sucky, but I have no idea how to make that happen. Quote Current Challenge: Zeroh, stick to the routine!

Grymm Posted July 26, 2016 Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 I have had magnificent birthday parties for (4) years running. 32. Onesie party (and really anything ridiculous to wear) 33. Pirates 34. Super heroes/Villains 35. Gangsters and Flappers 36. ??? We're talking 50+ people, most in costume. I get a stretch SUV for about 15-20 of us. I take a couple days off and cater it myself (I can cook food porn en masse). We go to an old man bar that lets us take over the place. It's really the highlight of the year. The fact that it is my birthday is mostly irrelevant. Now it's just the years post-Thanksgiving extravaganza. Last year a few people did pool together and buy me a rocking chair. I love it. Birthdays are what you make of it. You get a day older every day. You don't get a full year older on your birthday. It's just another day older. It certainly beats the alternative. 2 Quote Intro Challenges: #1, #2, #3, #4, #5 Link to comment
Johan Ema Posted July 26, 2016 Report Share Posted July 26, 2016 At 11. Had to see my dad on my birthday so that always sucked. 30+ now and dont do anything speciall for that day. Quote Character Link to comment
PixieKitten Posted August 7, 2016 Report Share Posted August 7, 2016 Honestly guys. It only sucks if you let it. If you tell yourself it should be special and do nothing, it'll suck. If you're waiting for friends to throw you a party without letting anyone know you want one, you probably won't get one. Book the day off and go do something you want to do. Friends all busy? Go by yourself! It's your day. Do what you want. If it sucks, it's because you're letting it. Make sure you've got all bills paid or organised to sort out after, obviously unexpected things can and will happen but that's life! Just roll with it guys, and cheer up! I've just had my 24th, all my friends haven't spoken to me in weeks and all of my workmates were, surprise surprise, working. Even my boyfriend was working. So what? I hopped on a train and went to a nearby bird zoo. IT HAD DINOSAURS AND EVERYTHING. Did I wish someone was there to enjoy it with me? Actually, no. I spent 30 minutes cuddling a cockatoo without worrying that someone wanted to move on. A pelican tried to eat my shoe, I watched a penguin show, took selfies with a triceratops and got some really cool photos. Just have fun!

PshawRaven Posted August 7, 2016 Report Share Posted August 7, 2016 Mine are normally good! I'm turning 40 soon and this year I may make beef bourguignon, get a bottle of sparkling white, and watch a movie. I share a birthday with Julia Child. Some years I go out and do fun stuff, some years I like to just chill out at home. They're not that bad! Honestly the worst ones were when I was in school. It meant classes started up again soon.

woodswitch Posted August 19, 2016 Report Share Posted August 19, 2016 I just turned 38 and gotta say... Birthdays can be awesome. Getting older is soooooo much better than I ever thought it would be. You couldn't pay me to be 25 again. In order for birthdays not to suck, you have to do something to celebrate them, like other folks have said. I took the day off work, played in the woods by myself, and read books about permaculture. I also took a nap! Sounds boring but it was perfect for me. Also I think the key to getting other people to make a big deal about your birthday is to make a big deal about theirs. Quote Link to comment
Frost of the Gloaming Posted August 19, 2016 Report Share Posted August 19, 2016 I agree it is what you make it out to be, I celebrate my birthdays with a long run, beer and food. Honestly I don't feel bad when I go to lunch by myself, have a beer and either watch spring training baseball or the NCAA basketball tourney. Honestly that hour I take for myself from work is a gift in itself. Quote Between a rock and a hard place, use our finger nails to climb, it's all we know..........

anxiousgeek Posted August 19, 2016 Report Share Posted August 19, 2016 Birthdays started to suck around 12 and got better around 26. For me at least. Quote Weird and Important // Winging It Link to comment
Kvedulf Posted August 27, 2016 Report Share Posted August 27, 2016 My birthday started to suck at around 7. They stopped sucking at around 26 when I realised that it's really just another day and proceeded to ignore the birthday part of it.
