This coming Monday - My most depressing birthday... EVER!!!
My wife is still out of town. And I'm stuck here all alone.

Man, this sucks.

1. Do it the Scandanavian way ...
Get a coffee cake or two and invite the neighbors in for coffee and coffee cake to celebrate your birthday.

2. I have no friends
A sad side effect of that military lifestyle. I'm here all alone.

3. If you're still young enough to get worked up over your birthday,
...then you've got nothing to complain about.

BTW, Happy Birthday, in advance.

:beer:

6. I suppose
It's more of a combination of me missing my wife plus the fact that we've been together to celebarate my b-day for the last 15 years.

This is usually a happy time for me. My fave time of year.

But now I don't really give a fuck about anything

5. Take coffee cakes
or what not to an old age home or something and just talk and celebrate with people who may have lost their beter half.
Happy Birthday
A fellow Scorpion

7. Go some place where there is people, honey.
If you live in a neat town, go to a carnie or a museum
or a movie or something. Happy Birthday to you and come
by for a cyber party on your day.

8. I was thinking...
About going to Hooters for some hotwings.

But since I want to lose some weight, it's the last thing I need.

I would go to DC, but with the protests this weekend, an even more crowded DC is the last place I should drive to.

9. Ahhh JEEEEZZZZZZ!!!
Go to Hooters! Have a triple order of Hot Wings! Wash them down with beer! Have some oysters, too! It's yer' birfday! Live it up!

Or you can put ball-bearings in your shoes and walk 5 miles. Yer' cherse.

13. You know, I went to DC last weekend
I'm really not up to another trip this soon

I'll check out the protest on C-Span.

That way I can chill at home

15. Faithfulness and loyalty are key Scorpio traits
and I enbrace them fully. I'm not fucking anybody.

But I'm not above a lap dance or two.

The problem is they can become quite expensive.

16. Meh- you should be happy. Birthdays suck ass.
Edited on Sat Oct-25-03 12:10 AM by Cat Atomic
Why celebrate the fact that you're one year closer to Sweet Oblivion?

My birthday's coming up on Halloween, and I intend to hide from it.

18. I'm going as a Space Burgler.
I have this clear helmet thing... and I just dress like a regular burgler, then put the helmet over the top. C'est facile. :P

19. Hey fellow Scorpio!
I have a b-day on the 21'st and I will be alone and I don't have a husband so don't complain at least you can have a belated b-day party.

Happy Birthday!

20. Let's hear it for Scorps
I've spent a number of birthdays alone. I've taken myself to museums to see exhibits, to my local CD store & let me buy me whatever my little heart desired or to a movie. At some point during the day I sit down & journal about who & what are important to me. At night I get a good bottle of wine & make my favorite meal (Chicken Tarragon, baby carrots in a maple glaze & raspberry sorbet). The point is to honor yourself. Make a great day. Love, P.

21. I SHOULD COME OVER AND KICK YOUR ASS, SCORPIO
Edited on Sat Oct-25-03 08:57 AM by Skittles
Yeah that's right. Let your wife have a break already! :7

on edit - I hear you about the military lifestyle. I'm a GI brat and veteran and know exactly what you mean.
