birthdays

My birthday is friday.
One thing you have to know is that birthdays are VERY important in my family. We go ALLLL out and have a dinner and give presents and birthday wishes. I grew up in highschool receiving so many baked goods from everyone that I could never finish without spreading the wealth to my fellow class mates.
Believe it or not, I don't believe that birthdays are just about presents.
I think birthdays are a time when it's your day. A birthday is one day out of the year that is yours. I just want a birthday filled with birthday wishes and surrounded by the people I love. That is all I want. I just want people to hang out with me and not give me a moment to myself.
Of course the presents make me happy, but it is the thought that goes into the presents. The fact that someone planned and took time out of their day to do something just for you is the best part. I love it when someone gives me a present and it has mabey a memory behind it or a reason I need it so badly, for example, someone gives gives you deoderant because of that one time you were at the gym and someone made a face next to you and probably thought you smell.. it's funny.
as for plans on my birthday......
