I think I'm almost finally (or I'm already there) at the age where I really don't give a crap about my birthday anymore.  It just seems like another day to me.  I guess it's kinda sad, since I'm only turning 20 (well, technicially I've been 20 since 4:53 this morning ) and they say you should be excited till at least after your 21st birthday, due to the joy of drinking alcohol legally.  But I'm not a big fan of drinks like those, so I don't care about that stuff so much.

I'm going to my grandparents house later to celebrate with them and when the family (as in both pairs of grandparents, my great grandmother, and aunt/uncle) comes over for Thanksgiving later on in the week we'll probably do something for my birthday that day too.  Hell, this really does just feel like any other day to me.

I'm assuming I'll be getting Valkyria Chronicles and Left 4 Dead at least today, if not later this week.  And if not then I'll be getting them for Christmas (as I had a only 6 games on my wishlist to split between my parents and both grandparents).

I think I shall go play some WoW now. Or watch some anime, whichever.

Happy Birthday! I'm as not excited for my birthdays as I used to be, but I still have reasons to celebrate up until my 26th birthday (yea, I try to make everything fun) Have a great birthday!

Happy birthday man! How can you forget your age when you're only 20?

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! You don't get excited for your bday? Oh man I still get giddy and I'm past the 21 mark (well...I AM 21..). Regardless, I hope you have a fantastic birthday and a good Thanksgiving as well. Valkyrie Chronicles eh? Let me know how that is...I have the demo but I didn't try it yet lol. But I'm still intrigued.

Have fun!

Happy birthday man!

Well, happy birthday anyways! Needless to say I stopped being excited about my Bday a long time ago Will be interested in what you think of L4D if you get it, looks interesting.

Lauren: Dahling, why no "r"?!

Angela: It's weird, when we're younger, we get excited for our birthdays like they're the most glorious day of the year (due to presents, I'd guess ) and then when you get older, you just think "Oh great...I'm ANOTHER year older." I'm not thinking like that yet, but I'm just not as giddy as I used to be.

Dan: I have a feeling I'll be suffering from short-term memory loss or something by the time I'm 30. I forget stuff so easily sometimes.

Celes: I played the demo of VC and found it a load of fun. It'll be the first SRPG I've played in a long while. I'd probably be more giddy if I didn't have so much crap to worry about all the time.

naruto: Thanks.

Dave: I can understand that. My parents are like that. They just go, "Yay...I'm older..just what I needed to hear." My friends won't shut up about L4D. Everyday they ask if I've gotten it yet. I'm looking forward to playing it though.

Birthdays are always fun, but they are less.... exciting when you hit a certain age and all your friends stop coming over for the huge parties where you get clowns and ponies and stuff. I was gonna say, how're you going to play a console when you are glued to the PC?

Happy birthday Kris! My b-day was a few days ago and I didn't care too much, birthdays aren't very exciting to me. I just went out to dinner with my family. It seems that everyone is getting Valkyria Chronicles now, I'll guess I'll have to join in and buy it this week. And I'm enjoying Left 4 Dead, it's a very fun game.

I still look forward to my birthday and I'll be 26 in March. Then again, its usually a guarantee of some time off work, if not a week then at least a few days. Happy Birthday.

Happy birthday, Kris! Personally, I get excited every time my b-day comes around as it means I've dodged the reaper one more time

Happy birthday! ^^

bien compleanos....

Happy 20th. Sorry about stomping on your lawn this morning, but I was excited.

The "dahling" is said in a kind of purring, Cruella DeVille sort of voice.
Posted Nov 25, 2008 12:25 pm PT
Happy Birthday Hope you have a great day.

It's a shame the weather sucks. Cloudy and cold. *shivers* Scorps united. heck ya!

Happy Birthday!

Casey: I just got done playing Valkyria for a bit, so I've been away from my laptop for a little while!

Anthony: I'm installing L4D as I type this. I played the demo and it was a load of fun. I've only played VC for about a half hour or so, but it's fun so far, more talking than anything, but it's an RPG, so I expect that.

Extra: Hehe, that is a positive way of looking at it, a day off of work.

Randy: True...living to see your birthday means you've lived for another year.

LB: Thanks.

Tri: After taking 3 years of Spanish, I know what that means! Thanks.

Nate: Grr...you crazy kid and your video games and your vandalism!

Lauren: That doesn't really make me feel better about it. Cruella DeVille...

Nel: Yeah, the weather hasn't been too great here either. Then again, it's November and Autumn has hit...yay? Thanks.

Teresa: Thanks.

Happy birthday Kris. I myself hate to be the main attraction so I usually dodge birthday parties. It's socially awkward for a person like myself.

Happy birthday you spoiled fudgecake.

I don't really care about birthdays anymore either. I only have two more birthdays: 21st birthday (alcohol XD) and 25th birthday (1/4 of a century, yay! XD).

Happy birthday Kryu, as far as I remember, celebrations for my birthdays have stopped since I was 12. All I hear right now is the "Happy birthday" sentence from several people. I don't mind it though, it's not like I have to celebrate every year for succesfully living, lol. Anyways, happy birthday again

Happy Birthday man! Life is short.. watch anime.
Posted Nov 25, 2008 11:41 pm PT
Well in the UK you can drink legally at 18 Kris so i lost interest much younger then you
Posted Nov 26, 2008 4:50 am PT
You need a set of handcuffs glued to your TV, not your PC. Like xtra strength so no nail file can saw through them like in the cartoons.
Posted Nov 26, 2008 8:33 am PT
Jude: Hehe, I could see you intentionally dodging a party.

Chaney: Why am I not surprised you're excited about being able to drink alcohol?

bahamat: Just hearing "Happy Birthday" would probably be enough for me too. I don't really need a party or anything, though it is nice to see family because of it.

Jay: That is so true...must...watch..more..anime. xD

Max: Yeah..the legal drinking age in the US is 3 years higher than just about anywhere, isn't it? Casey: Well, I've got a laptop that I game on. So even if I were handcuffed to my TV, I'd still be able to play TF2 and L4D.
Posted Nov 26, 2008 11:46 am PT
Yeah...I don't care much about my Birthday either to be honest. But, Happy Birthday anyway kryu. Hope you do get all those games. Nice that you have someone to buy you each game.
Posted Nov 26, 2008 12:47 pm PT
happy birthday,you should always be happy when it's your birthday
Posted Nov 26, 2008 12:55 pm PT
Happy Birthday man-hope its a good one
Posted Nov 26, 2008 9:52 pm PT
Happy belated Birthday Kris! Shame, you still can't leave WoW alone.
Posted Nov 27, 2008 8:11 am PT
WW: Yup, almost a game per person. Thanks.

tudy: It's not that I'm not happy. I'm just not as excited as I used to be about turning another year older.

Crona: You're alive! Thanks.

Ron: It's a shame that you don't play the awesomeness that is WoW,sir!
