Happy Birthday!!!

It is kernerator's golden birthday today. He is 31.

I only learned about such a commemoration from Cyn, this past year.

I didn't know it was referred to as such until I saw Cyn's comment.

I didn't even know it was important. And some people expect a big deal to be made of it.

I was born on the 23rd. I don't remember if I even thought about it on my 23rd birthday.

I'd be surprised if I thought about it on my 15th.

What happens to people born on Feb. 29th?

I'll assume golden birthday means your age in years equals the day of the month you were born on, rather than celebrating that birthday on that day of the month.

Not only that, nowdays the hospitals won't let you register your baby as being born on the 29th.

What day do they register them on?

[low-delta.livejournal.com]

They're asked to choose either the 28th or the first. Or so I've heard.

Well I'm as old as you can be for a golden birthday. I'd never really heard it called that before either. Just thought it was interesting that I was 31 on the 31st.

I hadn't thought of that. Cool.
