But this year my birthday was additionally overshadowed by my cousin's wedding. Plus I'm getting older now so now one really makes a big deal about it anymore.
It's ok, my computer loves me.
But I got to see my cousins again and despite it being a decade since we've see one another we were laughing and joking like it was nothing. Also unexpected was that everyone noticed that I had put on muscle. Albeit they only noticed after we had hugged but hey, partial victory. Maybe the next time they see me it'll be more obvious.
I got a few gifts, and a few surprising birthday texts from other friends. Really didn't expect them to remember but I'll take what I can get. Also not sure why I got a birthday email from my bank too. That was a bit odd.
Uh, thanks?
Anyways, next post I'll talk about the wedding. For now, I'm going to find something to treat myself with. I guess that's what happens when you're an "adult", you have to buy your own gifts.
Did I already congratulate you when your foreshadowed your birthday in an earlier post? Ah, what the heck, happy birthday once again, belated this time. That's what happens when you get older though, a single year becomes a smaller and smaller percentage of your life, and starts losing significance. It isn't that big a deal, as long as you're not the kind who wants a "super birthday extravaganza" party every year.
ReplyDeleteHappy belated birthday Damien :)
ReplyDeleteHappy belated birthday, young man.
ReplyDeleteWishing you an awesome belated birthday!
ReplyDeleteAt least when you buy your own you get what you want
ReplyDeleteHappy belated birthday, yeah I don't go on about mine either
ReplyDeleteBirthdays sure do suck after high-school
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday.
ReplyDeleteI hope that you treated yourself with something wonderful.
haha that sounds just like me, I am purposefully elusive about when my birthday is and I don't make my birthday public on Facebook haha
ReplyDeleteHappy belated birthday Damien
ReplyDeleteHappy belated birthday Damien. Did you have cake?? Cool that you got to see your cousins again after ten years.
ReplyDeleteHappy belated birthday! :)
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday from one Gemini to another (my birthday is today). :) I have kids so I get homemade gifts, and those are the one I like best anyway. :) Hubby and I don't do anything at all for the day. My mom called though, to send wishes. Of course she remembers. ;)
ReplyDeleteGlad you had a good time with your cousins, and hurrah for people noticing the hard work on the muscles!
Your bank really values your age, you know. Happy birthday and stuff too. Cough.
ReplyDeleteDoes being an adult mean you get to buy adult toys? :)
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday! Hope you find something to splurge on!
