That One Day of the Year

So there is this one day of the year for each person on the globe that they celebrate something. I’m having quite a bit of trouble working out what that day is called and the purpose of it.

I’m lead to believe it involves how many years someone has been alive and that it is some sort of anniversary. Rumor also has it that you are sometimes given gifts by certain people and “wished well” by others.

I scouted around on Wikipedia for a while and came up with a possible solution to the word i’m looking for to describe this event.

Yes, I’m now 19.

    It sounds plausible as a solution. “Birthday”, gotta jot that down so I won’t forget it… ;)

    Happy Birthday Chris!

    Actually wiki isnt quite accurate in this context. Birthday’s also mean that the person whose birthday is being celebrated gives treats to everyone who wishes him a happy birthday …. now where’s my treat :P JAnderton calls surfi ….
    “You’ll call me at 7.00. Oh the entire MP! gang is comming along ? Great. Ill book a flight immediately :D”

    So you are 19. Congratulations, there is nothing speical about this birthday =p

    Anyways, on a more serious note. May you have a very prosperous year fishy. As they say in hindi “Aapko is saal ke shub kaamnae. Aane wala saal apke liye khushiyo se bhara ho” meaning “Here’s wishing you well for the upcoming year. May the comming year be filled with happieness for you”

    And stop working on MyBB for atleast one day ¬¬ geek =p

    Congrats. My birthday was the 9th, and I turned 18. I’m legal to by cigarretes now, and I believe I’ve purchased 658 cartons since that day.

    Well, happy birthday John! (though I’m not sure you deserve it since you stole the blog post idea from Surfi)
