I usually hate having my birthday as it means another year older but for some reason this time around I was really excited about it! Eh I must have just had a weird moment! I have to admit my parents would make a big deal about it if I wanted to have a huge do. Usually though I just spend time with the family and then go a meal with my friends.

Birthdays mean diff things to everyone. It’s just how the idea is projected and how we are raised (the environment). I don’t enjoy my own birthdays that much since I’m hitting 30 next year but when I was younger, I would turn a whole entire week or just a week into my birthdays and consider myself a queen. My parents made a big deal about it so I did that too as I became an adult. Eh, diff strokes for diff folks.

Wow, you buy records! Omg, it must be so exciting when they arrive. I don’t have even one to my name.

Don’t feel bad. I agree with Ally — there are more important things people could spend their money on. I think that Justin’s family just have that culture of doing special things just because it’s someone’s birthday.
I don’t like my birthday cause I always feel old too.

I’m sure he would understand how you feel, and i’m sure he doesn’t expect everyone else in the whole world to put so much effort into birthday celebrations either. There are plenty of people in many countries and cultures who do not celebrate their birthdays.

But still, you have the power to put a different spin on things. There is good and bad to everything, and i’m sure there is something nice about celebrating birthdays, though I don’t know what it is.

You don’t have to be too elaborate with the plan. I’m sure he’ll like a celebration that’s something subtle and simple. Usually those are the most special and meaningful.

I sleep with my sirius station on all night. But that’s just because I can’t sleep without music playing. :/
Ebay is awesome.
You bought records? That’s cool. I wish I had a record player. Not one of those new lookin ones, I want an old genuine record player, not some stupid combo cd/record/tape player.
You and Justin are backwords of me and Cory, with birthday things anyways. Me and my friends tend to make a big deal over bdays and cory never has (execpt when he turned 21).

Awww love *hugs* I do have to admit, I am one of those people like Justin who gets really excited for their birthday, but I’m pretty sure that will stop when I turn 21 and don’t want to get any older, lmao =D

yeah it’s true, nothing is too expensive for a beloved little pet.

I’m an eBay & online shopaholic, too! I know how it feels to get something new in the mail almost everyday

I’ve noticed the same thing… I just feel old. The only exciting thing about turning 25 is that your insurance goes down. After 21 it’s just not exciting anymore lol

Actually, I’m super impressed by your layout skills right here. You really seem to get the hang of wordpress! I’m so sorry his great grandmother died, and that’s a little ironic that his birthday is close by.

Our friends have a dog named Mr. Bojangles, but we all just call him Bo or Bobo. I’ve always had birthdays like Justin, but my husband has always had birthdays like you. Funny reading this entry today, just last night he told me that he didn’t even have a 12th birthday at all. It’s so sad.

I know what you mean, birthdays just mark another year. My family never made a big deal out of them and now Chris and I don’t celebrate much either. Even when you try to make a big deal, everything goes wrong.

I don’t get excited about my birthday, either. I feel more older and useless every year and end up getting depressed instead. I hate parties of any kind because I have real bad anxiety, and I despise presents because I feel there are more important things people could spend their money on.

You’re not alone.
