Today (technically yesterday) was my 26th birthday. This was supposed to be a long-winded ramble about the things going through my mind, but that just kind of lost forward momentum on the way out.
Rather then wishing me a happy birthday, please share with the class the coolest thing anyone has ever done for your birthday.
Then wish me a happy birthday.
Nope, just happy birthday
when i turned 3, my dad blew up 50 balloons for me. doesn’t probably sound like much, but it’s the one birthday i can always immediately and clearly remember being filled with anticipation for, and that was as cool when it finally happened as i had hoped it would be.
and happy birthday to you. i’d offer to blow you fifty balloons, but i’m not sure you’d read all the way to the end of the sentence.
My 22nd bday last year my parents got into a car wreck but they were ok, just stuck in Nevada. I’ve never had a bday without them up here. My friend Greg called me and serenaded me that morning, My little brother threw me a small party and eventually they got home ok. Happy birthday!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
-Nena
Not a goddamn thing.
Happy birthday, fucker.
a surprise party. two years in a row. ok, so it wasn’t the coolest thing… because i hate surprises. but it was still pretty freaking funny watching people fumble around with lying to me when i already knew what was going on.
happy belated.
well i flew on a plane to europe, wearing some new sony tv goggles, and watching cave diving………..wait thats what someone else did on your birthday. i donno man…. a keg of beer and a few friend is the best time i ever had on my b-days.
Got bit by a drunken Indian.
20th Birthday.
Happy Birthday big guy.
a surprise party thrown in my hometown that united people from there and from here when I turned 30…I don’t know that I’ve ever been that speechless..
Happy Birthday!
15th birthday
i got fake id, half a pound of weed, and one of those xtra large freezer burn ziploc bags three quarters full of shroomage.
drug dealers give the best presents…right before they beat the shit outta you.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY FUCKER!!!
when i turned fourteen, my best friend bought me coldplay tickets and i caught an autographed drumstick.
looking back, it’s kind of embarrassing, how much that meant to me at the time (i don’t really care for coldplay now, i got really sick of people asking me if i saw them at acl)
i think that’s the only really happy birthday i’ve had.
I can’t think of having anyone do shit for my birthday actually, which is, I suppose, why I had no ideas for yours. Then again, with my memory leak who knows, maybe Truman Capote blew me on my 17th birthday and i just forgot. He must not have been very good.
dunno, but happy belated birthday!
I don’t think I’ve ever had a cool birthday. They get worse every year, haha. I guess the coolest thing was my ex boyfriend took me to mexico for a week. That was pretty awesome.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!
greatest birthday involed 5 amazing hours in a salon, followed by 3 amazing hours having lunch at some uppitty restaurant, followed by meeting a stranger at the uppitty restaurant, followed by getting all uppitty with the stranger from the restaurant…
happy birthday…
—-i did not have goggles or watch cave diving- but my anxiety meds did not work and i was stuck watching some Ashton Kutcher piece of crap movie—-I would have rather been here partyin up your birthday than where i was. Yep, an evening of TTAAAACCCCCCCCCOOOOOOOOOSSSSSSS and expired beer would have been prefered over the hellhole I call Italy…but more on that later.
My birthday’s always suck and I usually go to the bar to drown my sorrows and everyone tags along so I can buy them drinks and then drive myself home. But I always manage to make up for that by going with my friends on their birthdays and contributing to their and my own blackouts. So Happy Belated Birthday, and we will make up for it later this week.
People! We’re not that far removed from slavery. About 135 years. There are old people alive today whose grand parents black or white that are very familiar with slavery. It’s that close to the present time. I’m talking about REPARATIONS FOR African Americans. Listen white people, hear me well this is not about accessing blame or something that will cause more strife or riff between the races in this country. This is something that will cleanse the poison and clear the air.
AN ACKNOWLEDGEMENT on the part of white America, government, corporate, and private. YES we benefited from the largest system of human bondage in the world. The atrocities committed on people of African decent are astonishing. Slavery is by far the greatest holocaust in the annals of recorded human history.
My friend Jamie form HS desgned a huge scavenger hunt for me all round my old hometown for my 18th birthay. The clues lead to all of my friends’ houses and they all gave more more clues. Eventually we ended up @ Jamie’s where all of my friends had accumulated. It was awesome and I had a great time with the hunt.
It’s all downhill from here right? haha.
I hope you had a good b-day! Everyone deserves one good day a year.
Last year on my 35th, my man filled the bathtub up with Jello. THAT, my friend, was the best birthday ever. A fuckin mess to clean up, but really fun before the clean-up.
Happy late birthday to you! I thoroughly enJOYed your xanga. Lainie
this isn’t the coolest, but the most memorable. it was my 10th birthday and we had a pinata. my best friend was next and blindfolded as i was moving away because my turn was over. she swung before i was out of the way. i was passed out for the next five minutes and had a indentation the size of a quarter on my head. still have that scar. this year two of my best friends were going to fly me out to las vegas where we would all meet up and have the greatest time ever. that was probably the greatest thing anyone has ever *attempted* to do for my birthday, but because of a family emergency the funding for it’s gone. but it was a great idea
happy birthday
The coolest thing?
A trip to Atlantic City with two girls….I have photos…. holy crap.
Wishing you well, and a similar birthday gift m’brotha.
