I am not against my birthday, just people making a big deal out of it. Or any deal, for that matter. People feel obligated to do things for you. I don't understand why.

Sophia, Although I spend most of my time lurking, I do know a little of you and who you are, and some of your personal circumstances. Don't resign yourself to being alone. You don't want to miss that opportunity when a special someone comes along. Same goes for all of you, actually. IMHO

I know people who are almost 40 still living with their parents. With the economic situation, it's hard to bust-out on your own, you're only 20. I don't think it's weird, but maybe you should have a long-term plan to become independent. Oh, my father-in-law lives with US. That is a little...
