That's a pretty amazing stat. It just seems odd to me that people (me included) are delighted when they learn that someone else shares their birthday. It seems like such an amazing coincidence (which, as you say, isn't all that amazing), but in truth, what does it matter? Unless you were actually born at the same hospital, you have nothing more significant in common than before. You all know I posted this blog entry over a year ago, right? I'm now an ancient 29.

I recently (as in the last few years) started to make a small deal about my birthday (because I'm over 30 now and have to fight the fact that feel older than I am). Prior to that I never really mentioned it to anyone when my birthday was, but someone once told me I was being selfish by not telling people (still haven't figured that one out). Now I tell people to make donations to various charities if they feel they want to give me something, or I tell them not to get me anything at all, because I truly don't need or want a thing. I'd rather just have the gift of good times, good friends, and great memories. Wow you’re a real party animal…lol.
