Birthdays.
These are the biggest disappointment ever, the last good one i had was when i was about four and that was only because i got a little mermaid cake! I kept the figures of that cake in the fridge for months i loved them that much! Was a disappointment to come home from school one day to find they had been thrown in the bin.

Every other birthday was either so uneventful i dont actually remember it or so eventful i want to forget it.

For my 18th it was such a mess. Ok mainly due to the fact i was upstaged as the birthday girl by my friend picking that moment to stand up and announce to the world he was gay and another friend climbing over the railing of a bridge and threatening to jump as he wasn't happy said newly gay friend would not go out with him. I ended up walking the two miles back home on my own at about 11. The sad thing is no one noticed i had gone.

My 21st was just as bad. Family party back home the peace lasted no more than about 2 hours before "uncle knobhead" arrived picked a fight with my dad. My dad left to keep the peace so as not to ruin my day. Which wasn't what you want at your 21st the supposed turning point in your life. There then was a huge fight over the previously mentioned gay friend in which one of my uncle knob head's tag along mates thought it was a good time to tell him if he had been his son he would have drowned him at birth. I'm 5' 1" and managed to drag a 6' plus fat man out of my house through the back garden and push him out onto the street i was that angry. By half 9 the party was over and i was walking the esate crying.

I now can't stand my own birthday. I go all out for everyone else and have done some cool things for my friends and family but my own scares me. Too much disappointment has totally taken the joy out of it. Even this year my boyfriend had to remind my own aunt it was my birthday to which i got a "thats nice. well done".

Argh!! Birthdays who needs them?!?!

When people say "did you have a nice birthday"
say "not especially". It really pisses on their chips. I know that sounds harsh, but if they really cared they would have been there, or called, or sent a sodding text message...

Totally agree...
My 18th? can't remember a thing about it - probably for the best.

21st - 'surprise' party thrown for me - managed to escape after about 1/2 hour.

40th - due in September...I can't wait*
