Hmm I actually can’t think of one. I have a summer birthday, so I never got the school hoopla. I’ll tell you about last summer, which was the worst birthday ever:
I was away from home on my birthday for the first time. I had only lived in that town for a month, and I didn’t know that many people, only my cousin who also lived there. I brought this dude home the night before and we had the worst sex ever. He had biked over. The next day, my birthday, was torrentially raining, so he couldn’t bike home. He ended up hanging out all day, and I had to entertain him, and he was really obnoxious.
I figured it would get better that night once I went out. I went to the bar my cousin worked at, and he didn’t even acknowledge my birthday. No one did, and I was not bought any drinks. Since I was super sad and feeling vulnerable, I let this guy who I knew liked me who I didn’t like kiss me. That ended up causing a lot of drama in that small town for the rest of the summer.
With the exception of my parents over the phone, no one sang “happy birthday” to me that day.
Hopefully this year will be better!
