PrintablePeople have more responsibilites and such, don't take it personally. Maybe you should just have it on a weekend instead, then you can REALLY enjoy yourself and they will too. Go to dinner first, whoever can't afford it can meet you out for drinks after. | |

 That makes me sad. You should celebrate with friends and/or family. Nobody should be alone on their bday.
I have declared that this year for my dirty 30 I will have a roast! I want every mofo I know to get up there and talk mad shit about me! | |

Nobody should be alone on their bday.true, but unfortunately everyone else i know pretty much has a busy life so no birthday parties/get-togethers for me. I have declared that this year for my dirty 30 I will have a roast! I want every mofo I know to get up there and talk mad shit about me!
that would be pretty damned sweet!  me, i got only 4 more years to think about what i'm gonna do for my 30th birthday. | |

"Oohh, it's a Tuesday night. . . oohh, it's a long drive. . . oohh, I can't afford it. . ." What part of "birthday" don't you bastards understand? 
So, I cancelled the dinner. And I was nice about it, and I've been all outwardly understanding and "uh huh, totally, no problem, I'll probably turn 28 next year, maybe I'll catch ya then". But in reality, my feelings are fucking hurt! 
I don't think I'm some bad person! I try to take really good care of my friends/family! I smell nice! I attend their birthday celebrations, at their yucky restaurants, far from where I live! What the hell?! 
So, I'm coming to the org to pout and moan. Thanks for listening. This is so sad! You deserve to be celebrated on your birthday!Wanna hear me sing?  www.ChampagneHoneybee.com | |

Also, I think you should e-mail or call all of them and tell them that your feelings are hurt. [Edited 10/5/06 6:19am] I probably SHOULD tell them, rather than bullshitting about it, you're right. Really right. But honestly, if I have to throw a fit to get people to give a damn, I'd rather just. . . not. You know? I believe that you teach people how to treat you, and I've done a pretty good job of that, so I probably shouldn't be complaining at this point. I created this dynamic by putting up with it over the years.

this reminds me--my birthday's on a thursday this year, so i most definitely wouldn't be able to get together with anyone anyway.  the best i can do is do the same thing as i did last year--take the day off, ride the bus, go somewhere cool to eat, and get tattooed (i got pierced last year). | |

I turned 27 this year too. I didnt do anything huge until the weekend came. I understand that people have busy lives and I didnt even think of doing anything on a weekday. Don't take it personal. Everyone is not as fabulous as you! | |

I hear you... but birthdays are a drag! Just do something major on the milestone b-days, they'll come with less excuses. But at 27 you'll get bumped easily. Tuesday is Nip/Tuck night too?? Ooh...   I never met you, but I LOVE you & I will forever!! Thank you for being YOU - my little Princey, the best to EVER do it | |

I think it's good advice, and I might. More likely, what I'll do is either lower my expectations (likely ) or be more honest in the future about the fact that I do care.oh noes, prince is gonna soo me!!1! | |

I'm turning 4 OH next year and if these bitchin' ass friends and family that I have scattered throughout this state think that they are going to stand ME up on MY big 4 OH...OH hell NO! I will be a constant pain in their ASS until they have no other choice but to attend, even on a TUESDAY! Fuck that, I am a well intending person who is clean about himself and only rarely commit voilations.
SOMEBODY better show me some love! 
I feel for ya... Thanks for the laughs, arguments and overall enjoyment for the last umpteen years. It's time for me to retire from Prince.org and engage in the real world...lol. Above all, I appreciated the talent Prince. You were one of a kind. | |
