only 31 days for my birthday!
and not much for christmas either...

Sure I would want to have 'sonsday' too, but I'm not so greed,
I can manage just with 2 present in year! [img]smile.gif[/img]

Let's imagine it's 'sonsday' today ( We have Snellman's day in finland )
so it sounds quite same!

They (evil card and present companies, THEY know who they are)probably conluded that everyone has a father and a mother.

...it could be something about showing your appreciation for your parents...nah

I just realised something, aren't we all children of the lord, so in order to not discriminate against anyone I believe we should introduce childday Everyone's a winner [img]smile.gif[/img]

What's Snellman's day?

Well, I asked, and the answer was "But you already have a birthday and Sinterklaas!"
Which is nonsense of course, because parents have birthdays too, and Sint brings presents even to those parents who have not been nice that past year. But try telling it to them...

Sinterklaas is out of the picture, i'm too old for that. Now i's me who has to buy the presents for my little nephew, and i'm getting nada.

Because we used to celebrate sinterklaas, we never gave presents on Christmas, otherwise it would become quite a costly month.

But i think it's only fair. Think about it... we have a fathersday and a mothersday. I don't have a father, so i'm off the hook for that one. But i have TWO mothers, so that kinda ties things up again.

Dammit i want presents too !!! [img]graemlins/hehe.gif[/img]

Make them share...or get a gift and break/tear it in half and give each one a piece. Then you have more money to spend on other important matters

Seriously though I feel a bit bad if I forced my mom to buy me another gift on top of my Birthday and Christmas. The younger generation must make sacrifices I supose, you've gotta have some benifts when you get older

*snore* Sorry, tired. [img]tongue.gif[/img] Just posting till it's time for me to leave for school, I need to stop getting up at 6:35 in the morning, I thought it would be great so I could have more time to do things.. like post or play video games or the best, SLEEP! On Friday my grade goes to an amusement park called Bell's for the school field trip. They pay for the tickets and everything and let us loose for 4 hours to do whatever. [img]tongue.gif[/img] So what does everyone else have planned for the week?
