LJ wanted a birthdate because of, viewing adult content etc. I entered David's, yes. It's my national holiday, not my birthday. It's also my and ceruleancat's anniversary. It's what we celebrate.
We don't celebrate birthdays.
Now everyone is saying happy birthday and I squint and read "happy holidays" instead and say thank you happily. My closer friends say "Happy David Day".
I'm usually too ... something, to explain to everyone. I thought this post might help or explain.
Don't think most people who tell me happy birthday actually read my LJ, though. What can you do.
Things that happened on my actual birth day: Mexico gained its independence from Spain. Aren't you thrilled? Also, Champollion announced that he has deciphered the Rosetta stone. The physics journal Annalen der Physik published Albert Einstein's paper "Does the Inertia of a Body Depend Upon Its Energy Content?", introducing the equation E=mc². Cliff Burton of Metallica died. Google was launched! On the exact same day and year, Asashoryu, a Mongolian sumo wrestler, was born. Fascinating stuff.
