how would you celebrate your birthday...

Happy birthday!!! I'm not sure what to tell you. When I was younger, I didn't like birthdays because I was always alone. I didn't have many friends, but when I was in 6th grade, all the girls in my class gave me a surprise birthday party. They told me we were doing a science experiment at a friend's house and I believed them. I was very surprised to see more than the few girls I thought were going to be there. As far as now, I avoid birthdays. Of course that is because it just means I am getting old (I am old enough to be your mom). I was in Thailand for my birthday this year and I was sick. My nephew wanted me to go out and get drunk but I couldn't. Not that I would want to. I am happy to just be by myself. What do you like to do that you could do by yourself? Treat yourself to a movie or something. If your friends don't want to join you they don't have to. I know a lot of people around here like to go to KTV or kareoke. Maybe you could get a group of your friends (and their boyfriends if that would encourage them to go) and do something. You might be without yours, but at least you wouldn't be alone. Good luck with finding someone to enjoy your birthday with!!!

Well HAPPY BIRTHDAY come April fourth and congrulations on being a postgraduate so you say you have classmates so why not ask them to celebrate with you many people don't have to be with their boyfriends all the time so maybe for one day they will do something with you instead go ahead and ask I bet they will. Good luck and have a great day!

i have three children and a husband. i don't celebrate birthdays anymore. LOL! No, usually my mother cooks me dinner, but i guess if i didn't have anyone around for my birthday i would rent a couple of movies and just sit on the couch all night watching them. to me, they really aren't that special anymore anyways. i'm 28 now and it's just another year to me. i wouldn't care, really, if i ever celebrated another birthday or not. i'm not down on myself about it, they really just don't mean much to me anymore. just another day and another year past. God bless

I've spent so many birthdays and other holidays alone, it doesn't bother me anymore. If you're used to being with family or friends, I don't really have any advice for you. If you don't mind celebrating alone, you could find something nice that you've been wanting to do and treat yourself on your special day.

You know lovelemonlee, I am thinking of spending my birthday alone for this year. I have spend my birthdays with a lot of people- my family didn't miss it, sometimes my birthday falls on a working day- i still go to work and celebrate it with workmates, in some previous years I had spend it with close friends and my boyfriend. Still haven't decide what to do yet on that day LOL. I probably got to read people's responses on this discussion of yours to get some tip. LOL =)

For the last few years, I've always spent my birthdays alone. Ever since I got divorced 4 years ago, I've never really celebrated my birthday. I'm hoping this year would be different. This year, I'm going out with someone and my birthday's just around the corner. Hope this year I don't spend my birthday getting drunk on my own and end up sleeping in the car.

Hmmm, considering the situations of those that you could invite celebrate with on your upcoming birthday, I must say that maybe, perhaps, they could set aside that date just to hang out with you on your day. Same goes with your partner. They could still make reservations for that day, I hope. I mean, even if they do have their partners, a day with a close friend to celebrate her birthday once a year isn't too much to ask, right? Aside from family members, I'm more on celebrating with close people I know. I would hang out with them and most often, I don't tell them that its my day. Just to see if they remember or not at all Well, hope they could reserve that date to be with you. Advance by the way

If I am alone when the birthday come, I will just go to the church or chapel, pray and being thankful for everything that I got.

I always spend my birthday alone, only because my hubby is at work and the kids are at school, it does not bother me, I just find ways to treat myself alone! Just treat yourself to your favourite things, pamper yourself and show yourself how special you are! It can be just as much fun on your own as it is with someone else.

frankly speaking,i spent my birthday alone mostly.my parents pay no attention to it,which rather due to habit not unconcern. i remember my 24th birthday in university vividly.my room mates gave me a surprise.they pretended to be normal in front of me,and put gifts on my bed.it was really a big surprise for me.i was deeply moved at that moment.as for many years,i have been used to neglect it and spent a lonely birthday. i though i can work well without it,while regard and wish from others still touched me. gradualy i learn that keep alone is ok,whenas share with friends is probably better if allowed.

yeah it really doesnt bothter me as much , i hate to say it but i almost feel like b days are overated , maybe because i havent had a great one in a loonnng time , i alway say if i ever get some serious cash i am going to celebrate all my bdays that were boring in one week ..id say go out and enjoy self , you really dont need people to have fun with

you should't think that if they are reaaly good friend to you and if u mean something to them u should't think that u don't wanna bother to them.for me at the day of ur birthday u should't celebrate alone ,u will feel more loonely try spend it that thay around people and u will will very pleasent.Try that and you will see that you will have very exciting day!

Happy birthday to you! May be you don't believe what i say that i always forget my birthday! It seem that the birthday is not important for me .So i won't care what is the date is my birthday.And sometime i am afriad to face my birthday,cause i don't know how to celebrate my birthday lol. And i suggest that you can buy some thing which you want and love on the day of your birthday .I think that will help you to be happy :)

well i usualy go out with a group of 20 friends. we eat out at a restaurant that is cheap, then we go out to the disco's or the night clubs and meet up with more people. them we all get drunk and fool around with anybody that shows up first.

i celebrate at home with my family. nothing special just a little dinner when i get home is okay. :)

I want to celebrate it simple as ever i dont want to spend too much on that too

I also spent so many b-days,but i am celebrating it very simple and happy even i am alone.sometimes celebrate it with my friends and family but sometimes i spent it alone.but it doesn't bothering in me,i still happy even don't have a big party at home, all i need to do is to go to church and pray to god, to give thanks bcoz he gives me a very wonderful day on my b-day.

If i'm alone for my birthday i would thank God for bringing me into this world.I would remember the days i celebrated my birthday with my family.I would buy a cake and eat it alone.I would eat food from the restaurant because its my special day.

Alone?Sometime I also will e like that.But I nave never celebrate my bithday alone.I think you should celebrate it with you boyfried as much as possible.If all the ways can't bae taken,you can try to do something interesting to celerate it.Oh,tell you the truth,april4th is a troditional of China.

well, i always celebrate my birthday alone because my birthday is on January 24th which is the day most of the people go home to have get-together with their family that no one celebrate my birthday except my family. but in fact, my family members also have no time to celebrate my birthday so i always celebrate it myself by doing some interesting things such as shopping, watching tv, chatting online. actually, i think you are a little bit lucky because your birthday isn't on vacation so you can celebrate it with your friends. you said that they all have their boyfriends and you didn't want to bother them. however, in my opinion, you can invite your friends and also their boyfriends to a birthday party that you can celebrate your birthday as well as not bothering them. in a way, i don't think celebrating your birthday alone is a bad thing. when i am alone, i will think of myself and my plan in my new age. i will dream a lot to make myself satisfied.
