...before I leave for the weekend

1. Do you really make wishes when you blow out the candles on your cake? Oh yes yes yes.

2. Have any of the wishes ever come true, if yes? Oh no. No no no. Dammit.

3. How do you feel about birthdays? (e.g., love the attention, just another day, don't want anyone to know my real age, etc.) I really wish my birthdays truly were special, special days. I try to make them so. But. lots of times they end up being just another ordinary day, only one where I feel like it should be special, and then I get upset bc it's not. So, I try to ignore them now. But that's not working either. I spend most of my life trying to embrace ordinariness, bc I think the driving need to "be special" creates a lot of emotional problems. But on birthdays, it's really hard.

4. Tell us a favorite gift you've received, or something you'd really like for your next birthday. A favorite gift...maybe when my mom bought me a Lane Tech jacket for my birthday. They were so expensive, and I know it was a struggle for her to buy it. Oh, and I have a cute little Garfield statue that surpriseparty gave me one year. And the Miss Piggy mirror...

As for this year -- I'd really like to have sold my condo, and bought another, and be well on my way to moving. More easily, I would like Ali Edwards' latest book [I think -- I need to read the first one to be sure], or a fun road trip/outing outside somewhere, or the new Christina Aguilera CD, or even just a burned CD of awesome songs. I'd like some Hero Arts stamps -- some alphabets. Some words/date related schtuff from 7 gypsies would be lovely.

5. What flavor cake? Grand Marnier!

memes, birthday
