What's up with the religious rant. How do you know "God" hates pagans? Eh, doesn't matter to me, I love pagans and pagan rituals that have influenced holidays and culture. :)
Anywho, I love birthdays. I love mine, I love my son's birthdays. I'm turning 21 in 21 days. My son is turning 4 in 3 months, 2 days.
Dessert treats, birthday dinners, presents, treating yourself to getting your hair done or a spa day, massages from significant others, being treated nicely by most everyone, cards, poems, whatever... It's all awesome to me.
I think I want to get my hair done, get prettied up, take pictures, buy my first ever bottle of alcohol (that I actually get to go into the liquor store for, since I buy alcohol but can't go in), ask my dad to pay for my car license plate renewal, get my car fixed up, and enjoy time with friends.

I'm excited. I'll probably treat myself to some Marble Slab Creamery ice cream and brownies with hot fudge and some sort of candy topping, yummmmmmm.
