Hey, so, I don't know my birthday.

(If you want to know why, click here for all the bg info you need)

How do you pick one?

i feel like im probably not going to have a garden party
i have houseplants

[specialist_snowflake]

While I would consider houseplants essential to basic home decor, the atmosphere generated would be insufficient. Adequate as a substitution, however, should the weather prove to be poor.

I assume you haven't had the opportunity to enjoy a proper birthday party of your own. Have you considered what type you might like to enjoy?

[ Probably not a garden party, she's thinking. She doesn't text it. Who is she even talking to that's prissy enough to suggest a garden party... ]

idk pizza and cake
a foot massage
i've heard tales that i can make people do my laundry on it

[specialist_snowflake]

No seasonal restrictions, then. As for laundry, the tradition is unfamiliar to me personally. But it may be true.

[unhappy]

my bf said on your birthday people are supposed to do things you don't want to do for you

[specialist_snowflake]

Perhaps that was the tradition of his family. It may simply be an expression of kindness.

[unhappy]

I dont think so
his family would probably not do laundry for him im pretty sure theyre butler rich

[specialist_snowflake]

A regional preference, perhaps. It is unfamiliar to me.

[unhappy]

maybe! there's still a lot I dont know about Japan

[specialist_snowflake]

If you do receive a definitive answer, let me know. I would not be opposed to a day without chores myself.

[unhappy]

even if it isn't, we can just start saying it's a thing.
who's going to know? everyone's from different worlds.

[specialist_snowflake]

While true, keep in mind that any favors incurred in this fashion will have to be returned in kind.

[unhappy]

I'm at least a year ahead on birthday favors with my important people.
Though I'll do it anyway.

[specialist_snowflake]

I'm pleased to know there are at least a few who understand the importance of good manners and reciprocation.

I hope you enjoy your new birthday.
