What do you like to do on your Birthday?

EazyD

So today's my birthday, ripe ol age of 22. Girlfriends cooking 3 course mystery meal, as I type and friends be over later for drinks. Suits me down to the ground after a tough week. What's your ideal Birthday routine?

I was 40 last January. I refused to celebrate it, just got all weird and arsey about it and insisted on spending most of the day on my own, not like I was a diva or anything about it:D I didn't handle it well:D Usually I prefer to spend the day with my husband, we get champagne and order birthday cakes for each others birthdays. January is a crap month for birthdays, I always feel guilty since most people are broke after Christmas and it's just another expense.

Seachmall

I generally don't do anything.


Few pints at the weekend with mates is typically it, although we do that most weekends anyway.

Riddle101

I usually just ignore it and treat it as any other day. Except it comes with presents.

Kaiser D

Sex, usually. Nothing else really.

Happy birthday, by the way.

I exited the womb on my birthday

Lucky bastid i wish i was 22 and not mid thirties.. :mad:

Brego888

I turned 30 2 days ago so mourning was how I spent most of it.

Turned 25 back in April and spent it getting drunk in a gay bar. Soon as the patrons found out it was my birthday, I didn't have to pay for a drink all night. Ended up getting hammered and singing kareoke with two drag queens. It was so much fun!
Hope to do the same again next year.
Alternatively if I can't get into The George, few beers and a nice spread would be nice.

I turned 25 in August, did nothing except play the xbox and sleep. I hate my birthday haven't celebrated it in 2-3 years.

My birthday is St Stephens Day, 25 this year. Hate it. Actually love going to the pub pretty much any time of the year except Paddys Day and my birthday.

My girlfriend used to dress up in suspenders and high heels and give me the works, but she's gone so no sex, no pub no fun

He was born in the 90s and he's a grown up :eek:

I said she was to wear christian louboutin heels and turned up in some Penny's malarkey.

She's in the Wicklow mountains now.

Sex and Food are closely related for you yes?

Would you cook me a fry like that?

*gets down and pleads*

theblaqueguy

I like to call up some big booty bitches and get down and dirty for the day

Call Me Jimmy

That is catch 22. After the age of 22 you have to decide whether it's worth continuing to live until you die.

Let's take this to the Thunderdome, I don't want her to see the mess.

Kimbot

I have a rule.... always take the day of my birthday off in work.

Turn the phone on silent, sleep in till I want, when I wake I just do things I enjoy, no chores, no little jobs or trips, maybe a round of golf if I do wake early but mainly its just me time then when I can be arsed ill probably answer the phone and go visit the other half for steak....

Ah yeah, the bumps! One per year and one for good luck.

Once I got given the bumps in a chair. The Baltic States are weird.

I usually sit in the corner of a dark room, sobbing quietly, whilst lost in nostalgia for better days gone by.

I'm not too bothered about the Birthday celebration thing either really, if I spend the evening with a few mates I'll be happy out.

You're very welcome.

Actually, in '91 I had just left school and was working in a local garage pumping petrol and all throughout that year, all I can remember is the following song being played on the radio NON-STOP (yet I don't think it did all that well in the charts).

Course, I did tend to be listening to club anthem stations at the time and so that might have had something to do with it.

I feel so old. Anyone gotta a DeLorean there not using?

I pretend not to, but really I'd like someone to make a fuss of me and buy me a present, or take me out to dinner or something.

It was my birthday on Monday. My parents and one other friend remembered. I haven't celebrated my birthday for years. I say I don't care about it, but I do, really. I'd like someone special to remember and surprise me with something, even a bunch of flowers and a small present. (I don't expect a private jet to Paris or anything ) It's never happened. Sadly, the 'someone special' has never happened either.

So on Monday I took the day off work and spent it alone. I pottered around early on and watched Prometheus on DVD in the afternoon.

I know I shouldn't have to wait for someone else to organise my birthday plans for me, but it would be nice if, just once, someone....did.

Corvo

Sounds like we have to sort something out here lads.

Whoops, your on chocolate. Don't eat it all.

I'm on wine.

Lucyfur can get seeds and granola and then we can uninvite her.

MickyDolnez for the magician.
