summer birthdays suck...
 

my birthday is aug 12th... a tuesday.

a good portion of my best friends will be out of town that week. I will most likely have to work that day and the next. Any suggestions on what to do?

Or if you just wanna rant along with me. if you have a birthday during one of the busiest vacationing weeks of the year. Raise your hand!

:mad:

OK, my birthday is in the middle of November. I don't remember a b-day that wasnt filled with freezing rain or snow.

Chideltjen,

My B-day like your is in the middle of the weeK this year (Wednesday 8/6) I will either celebrate the weekend before of after (depending how it falls every year).

You could always have your party on a Sat/Sun b4 then treat yourself out to a nice meal or fancy dessert on your birthday.;) :)

My birthday is on Thursday (7/31) and I hate having a summer birthday. This year, there was a wedding the weekend before, I'm in a wedding the weekend after, and all of my friends who aren't working are 300+ miles away. Again, I HATE having a summer birthday!

OMG!
 

WAIT TILL YOU DONT WANT TO HAVE ANY MORE! :D

Oh my young Greek Freinds, you no not of what you talk!:D

Yeah, summer birthdays suck. Mine was 7/20

December 20. I got this many times as a kid:

"Here Tristan, this is for Christmas AND your birthday."

Cheap bastards.

WE HAVE THE SAME BIRTHDAY!!! i dont know what i am doing either...i know i have to be at my internship from 9-330, then i have to go to my job 4-8. so who knows what i will do that night. oh well.

My birthday (8/4) falls on a MONDAY this year. Normally I'd be pissed, but most of the sisters are already back in town for Summer Session 2 and a wedding that falls on the Saturday before.

My 21st fell on a Friday, so that was all that mattered. This one will be my 24th, so it's not like I'll be wanting to celebrate that. :eek:

I agree! Mine was 7/23, a Wednesday, and NO ONE could go out! It sucks!

BUT...

I've already decided I am having a HUGE bash next year! HUGE! BIG! STUPENDOUS!!!

We celebrate my birthday once in every four years, somewhat. Sucks being born on Feb 29. So we always have a fake birthday party for me on March 1. yay. I am so young, I am 6 years old this year :p

My birthday is right around Thanksgiving. Thanksgiving dinner was always turkey and stuffing followed by ice cream cake. It was many years before I learned that the "traditional" Thanksgiving dessert was pie. :p And I, too, got the "here, kid, this is for your birthday and Christmas/Hanukkah" thing.

My 21st birthday was actually on Thanksgiving. None of my friends was available to go out drinking with me, nor were there any bars open anyway. Sigh... :(

I NEVER know anyone with our birthday. Once I was going into a beer garden and the guy checking ID's had the same one, but he's been the only one.

Think summer birthdays suck???
Try after summer birthdays, sept oct, nov, dec.
espcially ones where there is a 'rite' involved. ie- I was the last person to get a license. i couldn't go out to the clubs. NOW is the worst.
'hey cara, we're all going down the shore and then to the bar, wanna come for the weekend." umm NO, i was cursed with a late birthday and i'm still 20!!!!!! i have one friend who is not 21, and her sister-in-law who is 25 and pregnant. they are the only 2 people i get to hang out with this summer.
GGGRRR:mad:
If i ever have kids, the child will have a) a birthday before july and b) a normal name that they can find on stickers and pens and posters and stuff (don't get me started on that):mad:








whew- i feel much better now.

Yep, I've got one of those birthdates that sucks. Mine is December 1st and like DeltaSigStan I got the "here this is your birthday/christmas present". That wouldn't have been so bad but often it was something small - now my sister and one of my brothers would always get a small present for Christmas and birthdays but I would get a small present combining both days.

Also, my other brothers birthday is on December 8th. While I was still little (until about 8) if the day was during the week we would end up with combined celebrations. Not good for him when I'm 10 years younger then him.

What I've ran into the past couple of years is that my birthday has been on the tail end of Thanksgiving weekend so no one has been in town to celebrate or was out doing holiday shopping. That was a big bummer for me when I turned 35 last year, I wanted to have a big blowout but couldn't
