Well, today was my birthday and no matter what, I find that on days that are set aside as special, for any reason, I get very upset. I think the reason for this is that I set high expectations for the days and those expectations aren't met. Now, I did not set high expectations for my birthday, I new better. I wasn't expecting awesome presents or a surprise or people singing to me down the halls. But I only got one "Happy Birthday." from anyone at school. Eventually I just told someone it was my birthday and as word spread around, people, who had already seen me that day, would say "Happy Birthday" to me and I would ask if my friend had told them and they would say "yes." I don't know. I think people remember things if they're either important or interesting, and I guess my birthday isn't either one.
What would you do if everyone forgot your birthday?
