My grandparents have satellite. It's not like they watch it -.- plus the additions to free to air in Australia make it rather good lately. Although, I don't really watch it unless there's some sport I'm interested in on, or the internet kaplodes.
Is it bad for me to make a thread every time I grow a year older?
Not necessarily, However I've never really understood the great pleasure derived from celebrating managing to stay alive for 364 1/4 consecutive days. Really all you are celebrating is the fact that you are one year closer to your eventual and inevitable death. Woohoo.
Wait until all of your good birthdays are over then see what you say :P When you're young you can't wait to get older because you get cool things and privileges, and when you're older you wish you were a kid again because you've realized that those things that seemed like they were cool 10 years ago are more trouble than they are worth.
When I was younger, birthdays weren't extravagant. It seems most of the meaning of a birthday has faded from me. I merely see it as a marker.. A reminder.
We age continuously.. steadily.. I don't fuss over birthdays much. I never had many presents anyways.
In fact, I cared more about the celebration, no matter how small it was.
