Hey everybody! Crafty Chick is HERE! How are you doing today? Good? Bad? Just happy you went through another day with becoming a criminal? Yes? Ok! Moving on... I realized something today. I realized how much I truly hate my friends sometimes. Mostly on my birthday, October 9, WHICH IS TODAY! WHOOO HOOOO! PARTY! So in honor of my birthday, I am doing a very special rant called "5 Things I've Noticed About Birthdays" (look up at the top of this page for the title. It's right up there).
1) GETTING OLDER
So if you aren't a teen like I am, this probably isn't something exciting, but for me personally I have always liked being the oldest of my friends because I will be the first to get my lisence and people will take me more seriously sooner.
2) "HAPPY BIRTHDAY"
I like it when people acknowledge me. It makes me feel special. This also falls into the things I hate about birthdays section. I'm fine with the occational "Happy Birthday" but my friends will follow me in the halls yelling "IT'S HER BIRTHDAY" which is super embarassing! What's even worse is when one of your friends sings Happy Birthday in all of the classes you have with her!
3) HUGS!
I am not a hugging person. I will do high-fives, fist bumps, some weird hand shake, but I'm not a fan of hugs. There are a few friends though that are HUGE on hugging. Today, while I was in Student Council, that same friend who likes singing Happy Birthday sang yet again. This time one guy (you know, the one who is weird in a funny way, counts as popular, is on the football team, but you just AREN't intersted in and they aren't interested in you but he will pretend to flirt with you anyway? Yeah him.) runs up behind me and hugs me and WOULD NOT let go for at least half a minute. I would have been SUPER weirded out but it was WAY too funny!
4) HAPPY BIRTHDAY
Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday dear (enter name here), happy birthday to you! I'm sure you have heard it before! Why is that the go-to song to sing on someone's birthday? I'm fine with someone singing it once, but every hour? No thank you!
5) THE "HELPFUL" ONE
So you are already embarrassed because everyone is making a huge deal out of your birthday and then... It happens! So picture me sitting in class and they guy next to me asks me if it's my birthday. Naturally I saw yes, this is apparently an invitation for they guy sitting next to me to yell across the room alerting the teacher that it's my birthday and we should all sing happy birthday before the bell rings. Thanks guy who sits next to me in Science!
So I'm sure I left something out so if you think of anything I happened to forget feel free to put that in the comments below. Please share, comment, read aloud to your dog, whatever it is you do! Bye-bye! Happy Birthday!
