My best birthday was my 19th, just this year. It started off pretty craptastic, as usual...my birthdays usually tend to suck.
I like to blame the fact that I was born in April - and the doctors actually tried to force me out with drugs on 4/4, but I insisted on making them wait a day.
But anyway...it started with a visit to my hand specialist, on the day I was SUPPOSED to be born.
I HATED my hand specialist. And I still do, but luckily, he's not my hand specialist anymore.
But he released me to go back to work the next week (long story). Which...really pissed me off; I was NOT ready to go back. I had REALLY low expectations about the weekend after that. Lower than usual.
But after that was over, I ended up going to Little Tokyo...and let me just say, that was overwhelming. I was pleasantly surprised to realize I could read most everything I saw with little to no difficulty. And after that it just got better.
At the time, I happened to be in the middle of writing a song. And...well, lets just say, my song lyrics aren't in English. So on the morning of my ACTUAL birthday, I went and got my hair cut...and as the woman who was cutting my hair turned to grab a comb, I got an idea for a few lines. So I wrote them out...and she saw when she turned back around. She was FLOORED. It was a very amusing experience...I'll never forget that.
I had my first actual conversation in Japanese there. That was an unforgettable birthday. X3
And to make it even more unforgettable, that was also the day I got physical copies of some of my favorite albums...which was excellent. To be honest, most of the reason I was so thrilled was the lyric booklets...but hell. XD I love actually having the CDs. And I love being able to have the actual CORRECT lyrics there available to read.
I even managed to get the one with my top favorite song for 2.5 years. THAT made me happy.
Worst birthday ever...hard to decide. Most of them have been pretty fucked up. I nearly died on my twelfth, and before this one, I considered that one the best. XD;
