Yep, its that time again, when I, Calamity will turn 28 on the 26th July (which makes me a Leo, like the best star sign ever) I really hate birthdays, as mine is in the summer and i always plan to have a BBQ and invite a few friends over, but none come as they are away or busy doing something else, once the weather kicks in. All my life i've had people say to me: "Your so lucky to have been born in the summer as you can have BBQs." WRONG, i don't as there isn't anyone around. I know i sound like billy no-mates here, but that's how it feels when it comes to my birthday. I think i'll just have a quite day, hopefully the weather will be nice as i like to read a book in the garden on my birthday for some unknown reason??? In the evening, i'll perhaps order a few pizzas in for the family and very close friends, this is how i see myself celebrating my 28th birthday. Last year, a friend of mine ordered a take away for us and it was nice as we eat it in the garden. Its hard to think of ways to celebrate one's birthday, i've no idea how to. It would all be simple if people actually cared it was my birthday as i don't think i've ever really had a bunch of people turn up for my birthday. Last year, i had a bit of a cry as i had bad toothache and had to go to the dentist and then, found out that no one wanted to come over for my BBQ. It was a sad day for me, but a friend of mine made it up two days later, with the take away thing.
Another problem i have is, what do i want for my birthday? The truth is, i don't want anything really. Just having people turn up is a enough for me. My sister has no idea what to get me and i said i don't want anything, apart from us, going to see the musical 'Wicked' which she had promised me for Christmas. Another friend is taking me to Brighton, in September, as i want to go to Vanessa Bell's house, where all the Bloomsbury group hanged out. She said i would love it and thought that's the best present she could get me. I live nowhere near Brighton and bless her, she is paying for everything, which is perhaps, the most loviest thing one could do for me. I am very lucky with the friends i have as they are kind to me, but seem to go away in July for some reason, but they always make up for missing my birthday as they are my friends after all.

I'm in the "You're so lucky to have a summer birthday" camp. Mine is between Christmas and New Year, and nobody is around then either! Plus there is a serious lack of celebration later in the year. :) Perhaps the spring and autumn folks have the best birthdays. We're never satisfied, I guess. You're a reader, ask for book gift cerificates. How about the new Harry Potter? I hear A Thousand Splendid Suns is really good, too.
You see, thing with HP books, is they are always out just before my b'day and i want to read it on the day it comes out. My sis once brought me book 4 for my 21ft as it was near to my b'day. I never really ask for things as i think its rude, but you would think that at least one friend would have the sense to send me book vouches for my birthday?
I think your right, people born in the spring time are the lucky ones.
