It's my birthday! Woweee! I'm celebrating it too! I've got a cake and brought myself presents ( although I haven't gone to the extremes of wrapping them up)
Amazingly enough my parents accepted it, I told them why shouldn't I celebrate having lived X amount of years of life? And they agreed that since I was celebrating being alive X amount of years then its OK, they also agreed that the WT's doctrine on birthdays is very loose and jars with the celebration of wedding anniversary's ( why one and not the other)
So huge progress all in all!
Happy birthday to me!
