A shorter-term question is bothering me this time, and it's one that may affect others.

As far as I can compare the local calendar to the one I'm familiar with at home, my birthday is coming up soon. On the other hand, when I arrived here, I was expecting my birthday to be a good five months off.

Should I mark it now, or wait another three months? I can't decide which would be easier to remember. How are others grappling with it?

We just passed my birthday - but since it was recent back home, too, I'm waiting until next year to count it.

Assuming we're here that long.

Well happy birthday, either way!

But if you don't want to count it, you don't have to!

Personally, I'd go with your world's original calendar, since that would be marking your age properly.

But I'm also used to thinking as someone who'd have to go to other worlds on a regular basis. In this specific situation, it probably wouldn't matter too much which way you choose as long as you're consistent about it.

I haven't thought about my birthdays in a short eternity.

My suggestion is to just have it whenever you and whoever you wish to celebrate with would like, for the time being. It doesn't seem we've an agreed-upon parallel between time from our homelands and time here. Then again, I suppose that's difficult due to many of us coming from different places or even different times from the same world.

What is a birthday.

I don't even know when my birthday is, and Lucy doesn't talk about it.

But I'd say mark it now? I know you mentioned your birthday was a long way off for you back home, but given the local calendar it might become too confusing if you wait?
