why isn't this fun?

I remember being a kid and birthdays were just as much fun as any other holiday, you got to do special things and get presents. I thought it was a pretty good deal. But now, birthdays aren't so great. And I'm not talking about the getting older stuff, birthdays just seem to cause so much awkward attention. I was talking with my friend about this and we're not fans of having people work so hard to make the day special for just you. I don't know what it is, I love having parties, but for some reason I don't like it as much if it's for my birthday. I think I feel obligated to make sure everyone has a fun time. I really don't understand it.

So I was trying to think of ways to change this not-so-great birthday setup and I propose that we have shared birthdays. Maybe it can be by the month, or you can just get assigned a birthday buddy where you share your birthdays. Anyone else agree? It could be a new New Years tradition- you pick a new friend to share a birthday with. And you could have a different birthday every year, variety is always nice right?

and by the way, if anyone thinks they're any good at foosball, I just beat the president of the foosball club yesterday so I'm looking for another good challenge. bring it.
