For some weird reason, everyone around me is very excited about my birthday this year. Said event is still days away, and already I’ve gotten one birthday dinner and one birthday cake, with one more of the former and two more of the latter likely to come in the next few days.

The aforementioned birthday dinner was yesterday, but to make matters stranger they attempted to buy dinner for me again, today. I outright refused, forcing my monies on people, but that didn’t stop Peter from conniving with the staff at Kyushu, our local Hibachi/Sushi place.

I really don’t get what the big deal is. I think it’s because I told Peter I was masochistically hoping that people would forget so I would get a good chance to be knocked off my pedestal, and he’ll be damned if he lets that happen.

Oh well, people seem to be having a good time of it, anyway.
