I saw this in the journal of a random friend of a friend, and thought it was a good idea. So I've pinched it ;)

[Poll #516901]
It seems slightly surreal that I have to wish myself happy birthday to see who's answered it, but never mind, eh?

Now if only I could get my exasperating Sims 2 bug to fix itself, I'd be happy...

Shame on people who don't remember, it's not that difficult surely ?

Depends on the person. I've had to learn that forgetting someone's birthday isn't a reflection of how much you care about the person. Richard has a tendency to forget my birthday and our anniversaries - or rather, he comes out with things like "I knew your birthday is June 21st, but I didn't realise it was June 21st until I saw the date on the newspaper coming home". That was his excuse for Valentine's Day this year, iirc...

I've been doing that a lot recently myself. I know full well when most people's birthdays are, but I usually only get as far as figuring out what day of the week it is when I wake up. I don't often think "ah, today is Monday 7th, so I need to wish thingy Happy B'day".
