Birthdays

What is so special about them, never really figured that out? Why there is so much importance of spending them with people or going out? This is coming from someone who made a big fuss about her birthday some years ago and fought with her boyfriend of then about him ruining it by fighting with her. What did I fight about? My need to spend it with real people and not myself. Come 2009 and all I wanted to do was sit in front of my TV and eat mac and cheese. Didn't want to go out, didn't want to party.

People mostly the ones who don't know me that well or think they do but they don't, kept insisting that I should go out, even if I went all by myself to a restaurant it would be better than sitting at home. Think about it wouldn't it more pathetic to sit alone at a restaurant than at home in front of the TV. Sometimes people don't realise but their comments on how I should spend a birthday just points out how alone I am. Personally I would have preferred if they kept their wonderful ideas to themselves and let me enjoy the wonders of the very cheesy mac and cheese and my huggable couch...
