my birthday
so my birthday is coming up next wednesday, December 17th, when i will be 22
i have always liked and look forward to my birthday, but that's prolly cause when i was growing up my parents made sure i had my own celebration instead of (apparently like a lot of people) making it birthday/christmas... only birthdays that sucked were my 18th and 19th birthdays, but that was mostly cause of my state of mind in 2005 and 2006... my 20th was much better
i am a sucker for tradition, and since the traditions i was raised with are almost non-existant, i started some of my own last year.
my birthday "tradtions"
1. the morning of my birthday i walk down to the liquer store and by myself a bottle of Stroh 80
2. reserve the day of my birthday to do something with my mom, prolly gonna be dinner a lot of the time, since she IS my mom it only feels right
3. go out for a few drinks the night of my birthday
4. go to my grandma's the saturday before or after my birthday
5. this is something my older sister actually started when i was 15 or 16. she'll take time out of her busy schedule and we'll spend some quality time together... she usually takes me out to dinner, or a movie, or window shopping where she may let me pick something out, or some combination
last year my brother actually took me to a movie for my birthday, similar to what my older sister does, i hope something similar happens this year
my birthday was like a week long last year with all this stuff going on
i think my birthday is gonna be good this year
so next wednesday, December 17th, i will be at the Shanty around 9pm or 10pm for my birthday, if anyone wants to meet me there or whatever i'll hopefully see you there
i'm also trying to arrange a birthday party somewhere... i won't be in town this coming saturday
