pinata? yes, i would take a pinata.

i have a birthday coming up so if you were wondering what to get me, books are always good. or, you could get me that lifeguard hoodie (pending my passing the test). i like coffee, so that's always on the wish list. i appreciate an acknowledgment, the casual "happy birthday", a card, an email, definitely a gift is good. what i do not appreciate is when someone! is! happier! than! i! am! about! my! birthday! c'mon now. lay off a bit. really. you should always take the cue from the celebrant and honor their wishes. don't make me hurt your feelings by telling you to back off. because i will.
