Next Tuesday, July 31, is my birthday. To be more specific, it's my 31st birthday. I learned last year from loxocele that this is called my golden birthday ( Read more... )

Aww, I'm sorry! That doesn't sound like much fun.

oh, wait I was wrong. That was the year before...the golden one was spent with my then girlfriend going to a fancy dinner and scandalizing the rest of the patrons that they'd let people like us in.

I never heard of it. Mine is long past. I don't even remember what I did that year.

How old were you?

I was 16. There was some reason I didn't get my driver's license right away, so I must have been out of state, probably in California visiting my dad. But I don't remember a party or anything.

I have never heard of it, although I was pretty happy about mine, as my birthday day (23) is also my favorite number. I had a champagne and chocolate birthday party. (Amusingly, Wikipedia says it's sometimes also called a "champagne birthday." Do with that what you will.)

I've never heard of it either. Can't remember what I did when I was 14. I made a moderately big deal when Chrisiant turned 16 on the 16th, but not because I ever knew it was a phenomenon with a name or anything.

never heard of it either. and I have no memory of my 4th birthday thought I'm sure there are pictures somewhere.
