    What do you guys do on your birthdays? Mine is on January 4th, and I'm having trouble thinking up something special to do...

    And please, no alcohol, drugs, guns, self-harm, voodoo rituals, lunar rituals, demon summonings, or blood sacrifices to Bhaal. :p :p

    Yeah, mine usually entail at least a little alcohol, dinner out (or order in some KFC/McD's or something), some friends and lots of loud music.

    Ah yes, the denial, I can't believe I almost forgot!
    Mine will kick in next year as I approach the big 3-0! Man that sounds old, and yet in my mind I'm still only about 16.

    I just invite a lot of people and make sure they have a nice time. No diners or going-outs and such, just drinks, tales, jokes and musics.

    • Wake up
    • Get birthday cake and presents
    • if saturday/sunday, have fun with said presents until about 18:00
    • if monday-friday, go to school (bleh), then have fun with said presents after school until about 18:00
    • Go to a restaurant and eat good food. (Deep fried chicken with curry sauce usually)
    • Have more fun with said presents until bedtime (about 23:00 if next day is school day, 01:00 if school-free day)
    • Go to bed.
    B-day is on Aug 24.

    I second Master of Nuhn's suggestion. He knows what he's talking about. Last party he gave was the best damned party I had in years. I knew none of the people there save Master, and I spent the entire night talking to all kinds of people, up to 5 AM in the morning. :grin: Was a great party!

    *MY* birthday is in two weeks (14 January), but we're postponing the celebration until the following Friday. That night, we're getting together with our best friends for an evening owl-spotting hike at a local nature center. It's followed by a bonfire and hot chocolate, and I'll probably bring cupcakes for our group to keep the three little boys happy.

    Well, your restrictions didn't include having fun with a special friend, always the best way to spend a birthday.

    Other than that, a get-together with people is always good and definitely go out to eat.

    Well, my birthday was on Dec 10th, so I can tell you what I did... I had a bit of an alcohol, nothing major, just a few drinks. I and a friend went clubbing, met a third friend of mine and talked, talked some more, and ended up running around a park tlking about everything and anythinmg. It was incredible. So, I suggest that you and some good friends (or even complete/almost complete dtranges) go somewhere nice and quiet outdoors and talk about all the deep stuff there is, and all the less deep stuff. Might end up a really great experience.

    Oh, and congrtts beforehand :D

    Thank you, everyone.. I think I'll bring some friends, eat the cake, and go outside and go hiking... if the friends don't come, then just a birthday with my parents, followed by NWN : HotU.. :p :p

    Usually nothing. Eat an ice cream cake with my family, maybe go out for dinner. Presents? I don't even know what I want, nevermind my parents.

    My birthday usually falls on a school day, in the middle of midterms. So I usually don't get a chance or the time to host a party of friends.

    Some friends you have! ;) Mine would bring some good stuff with them. Since there is a reason for a party, there is a reason to drink. And if there's nothing to drink, you bring it with you! :D (It would be stupid, though, to invite people when you have nothing to drink. Such Hospitality)

    Dress up as a giant peacock, cover myself in green jelly, drink several jugs of alcohol called 'dirty drink' and sing to the beginning of the end and the coming of a beautiful feathered aviator to keep me company for the rest of the night.
