A brief history of my birthday:
My birthday marks a time of miserable despair. Any birthdays that stand out in my mind are attached to bad memories. It marks another year getting older, which used to be more of a joke when I didn't notice my face powder settling into my crow's feet. After 21 I stopped counting my age, and whenever someone asks me, I have to take a moment to subtract the years. It's an event that's lumped together with Christmas by many, and I don't mind. Well, y'know, as long as gifts are separated accordingly :)
( A slightly longer recollection of this birthday )
