I just realized my birthday falls on a Monday this year. What kind of crap is that? Even if I took the day off, it's not like I could whoop it up, because I'd have to be back at work on Tuesday. As far as I'm concerned, my birthday is already ruined.

So I think we should pass a law saying that if your birthday falls on a Monday on any given year, you just ignore it. You don't age that year. You party the weekend before, but your birthday gift for having a crappy day of the week for a birthday is that you just stay the same age.

I think this is a fantastic idea, and I ask for your support.

Thank you, that is all.

Let me know if this passes through congress.

i could just write him a letter and tell him that birthdays on a monday are a threat to freedom, and that the terrorists love celebrating their birthdays on monday because they hate freedom so much.

I have reason to believe that WMD's are on monday birthdays.

you two crack me up

I think I'm gonna go now *slips out the front door*

"unbirthdays"

sometimes i think that anx is my only child soul twin.







didn't prince say that time is an illusion? i think that means you can be whatever age you want.

JasmineFire said:

and i love that prince says that about time, but i'd love to see him stroll into my job four hours late and use that line on my boss. that would be some entertainment.

Anx said:

hhahah, you know what else is an illusion? Your employment here.

Yeah!!!! Then I don't have to age this year

Mine's in a couple of weeks on a damn Monday. I truly share your sentiments on the whole crappy reality of a Monday Birthday.

My birthday was on Monday

where have you been

Mach said:

Mach ... I've been busy joining the Big 4.0. Club ... I had a huge party but also I've just been doing other things. I'm back for a while though.

What have I missed?

shit I've been 29 for years!

I think we should also have an AGE REBATE, where everyone can tally up how many birthdays they've had on a Monday, and they can send in a form and have those years deducted from their age. It's only fair.

Mondays are great for birthdays! Have friends take you out to celebrate on Friday night, a different group of friends take you out Saturday night, have brunch or dinner with other folks on Sunday day, rest a little Sunday night, and then make your co-workers buy you a cake and sing to you on Monday. Last year, I turned my birthday into a Hanukkah of sorts - seven days, eight nights of me being obnoxious and demanding some attention. And it worked!

You're not helping my cause!

Anx said:

I know. That said, it's hard to convince people to: buy you drinks and/or food, put burning wax objects into a cake and then sing to you, or buy things which are then wrapped in decorative paper and given to you - unless you're willing to admit you're one year older (and better!)

well, i was thinking on these non-birthday years, people could just spread it out over twelve months and people could buy gifts for them regularly all year 'round. it would be kind of like a birthYEAR, only not. kind of like a zen/bizarro world kind of thing. i think this makes perfect sense.

Fantastic Idea! Mine falls on a Monday too. I was thinking yesterday that I don't wanna head into the "late 30's" just yet.

Though I still tell folks I'm 29 and I get away with it. It's a lot easier than telling them my real age.

I love celebrating the "Unbirtday" I do it all the time to cover up my drinking habit.
