When were you born?!

SakSquash · 02-24-2005, 07:14 PM

Just tell me!

9.9.83

Intrepid Homoludens · 02-24-2005, 07:16 PM

Yesterday.

....which is not a poll option so I couldn't vote.

Terabin · 02-24-2005, 09:31 PM

I was born in the summer, but I really don't prefer the summer over other seasons. That would be interesting to find out; if the season you are born has any effect on whether or not you like that season. Oh yeah: June 6, 1984.

Intrepid Homoludens · 02-24-2005, 09:35 PM

I was born in early September, so that's late summer. But I prefer mid to late autumn all the way. Something about the leaves changing colour, the crisp bracing cold air, finally getting to wear my turtleneck sweaters, and fresh hot soup. Lots of it.

lumi · 02-24-2005, 09:39 PM

I was born in October, and coincidentally I like the fall and Halloween. But I like all the seasons, too. Too much of one gets tiring for me. I'm already all ready for spring for various reasons.

DemonFox · 02-24-2005, 10:25 PM

I was born on December 6th, 1989

I just read this on a site:

Quote:

On December 6th, 1989 a gunman walked into L'Ecole Polytechnique in Montreal, systematically separated the men from the women and shot and killed 14 female students. Since that time women's and community organizations have marked the day as a time to reflect on violence against women in society.

I don't like my birthday anymore...

Well anyway, I guess I like the winter the most. I'm OK with the cold but I hate the sun so...

Wormsie · 02-24-2005, 11:20 PM

17th of July 1985, so that must be summer. I like summer occasionally.

Elton28 · 02-24-2005, 11:40 PM

I was a Springy baby (I fell out and bounced ya see

)

1st April 1976

Yeah, yeah I know....."April Fool"...

simpson_yellow · 02-25-2005, 04:48 AM

I was an Autumn baby but moved from the UK to Australia so now I get a Spring birthday.

Hey, my Dad's birthday is April Fool's Day too. Strange though, doesn't make for as much quality joking as I'd have thought.

Ninth · 02-25-2005, 06:49 AM

I voted winter because I'm born the first of december, 1979. ... yeah, I know, that's autumn.

***fov*** · 02-25-2005, 08:16 AM

First day of spring.

Elton28 · 02-25-2005, 08:19 AM

Seems some people dare not tell us their date of birth - nudge, nudge, wink, wink

Emily's a Pisces, I think. That's all you need to know AF.

Mine's March 11th. Since I'm not so fond of Winter, I'm gonna go with the Korean way of classifying seasons and say that I 'm also Springy.

***fov*** · 02-25-2005, 09:09 AM

Actually, no, I'm an Aries. First day of Aries.

(It's March 21st, which you can see if you look in my profile - I have nothing to hide!

)

I'm still getting used to all these birthdays in the 80s. I was born in 1978, so most of the people I grew up with were born in 1977-1979... for some reason, 1980s birthday always strike me as odd. I especially hate it when I read something about some famous person whose age I've never really thought about and see they were born in the 80s. Makes me feel rather old and insignificant.

My older sister taught high school math for a few years and she has a story about once in her class, when she alluded to the days on Sesame Street when Mr. Snuffleupagus was invisible to everyone except Big Bird. She got all these blank looks from her students... then realized all of them were born AFTER he went from "imaginary" to "real" (which was some time in the early 80s). I have trouble conceiving that there are people for whom Snuffy was never imaginary. (Yes, these are the things that keep me up at night...)

-emily

ps Before anyone gets all picky on me, March 21st is technically the *second* day of spring, since the equinox is on the 20th, but it's the first FULL day of spring.

Tell me about it. Those damned tennis players or singers or whatever are all little 80s kiddies, and gaining more money and fame that a few of me couldn't achieve in a life time.

Kolzig · 02-25-2005, 11:23 AM

I was born in November. So I guess I am a late autumn guy then.

I have to agree its a pretty weird feeling, especially when you look at the profiles here and find loads of people with birthdays in the mid to late 80s

As you can see from my profile - which has absolutely nothing at all to hide, as I actually give the YEAR of my birth - I am probably one of the oldest people posting here, yet I don't feel like I am ....... "said almost in a whisper" ....34

And to answer the question - I was born in Feb so that makes me a Winter baby, which, along with AUTUMN is my favourite season

Jazhara7 · 02-25-2005, 01:55 PM

I was born on a Saturday.

To be exact, February 14th, 1987. I miss the old cartoons...

So I was born in Winter.

You know, technically Winter belongs at the beginning of the poll, because the year begins with Winter. You have really confused me. I nearly voted Spring accidentally.

RLacey · 02-25-2005, 02:01 PM

I was born in November, or the Autumn. I refuse to vote for an option called 'Fall'
