Um, actually, no. Rosebud’s b-day is August 17, not April. But it’s incredibly cool to find someone with an April 17 b-day. It’s the first time I’ve found someone with my b-date. Plenty of people born on April 15 & 16, but not 17. AETBOND, lets hope someone throws us a party!
When I was growing up, I never knew anyone that shared my birthday. I thought it was the least born-on day of the year. Now, in the last year, I’ve found 3 people! This is way too cool!
Wait, I’m confused. Soda was born April 17 (some year) in Sweden (presumably). I was born April 17 ('85) at 7:30 p.m. Now that’s American Eastern Standard Time. In Sweden it would be April 18th, no? There’s a 6 hour difference between the two of us, and Soda would receive the new day first. Does that mean we share the same birthday or is my birthday April 18th on the other side of London?
Just for the record, I am collecting all the info from this thread and putting them into an HTML doc for easy reference. I may post it somewhere or not; still considering. (If you want me to, let me know.) And just so you know I’m serious, so far everyone that’s posted in time in the last two days has gotten a card! Yee-haa!
I never knew anyone on my birthday either. Then in college I met a girl who was the same day and year. At work, two of my clients (who, oddly enough, live in the same house and have the same diagnosis) have my birthday, and a girl that started at my work six months ago was born on March 11th. Now I’m convinced there’s tons of us. Maybe we should start a club?
I’m told that my dad (the accountant) spent the last two weeks of December yelling at my mother’s huge belly, “C’mon, Tootsie! Think of 1963! We’ll lose the whole year! C’mon…”
…and do you other holiday-babies just hate getting one present for both? When I was a kid, I felt so…cheated…
(But I’ve gotten over that by now. Any present is a great present, saith I.)
April 27, 1968…which, I beleive, is the same day sliced bread was invented. And I need to mention a certain nephew who I call Zalamander: birthday…4-3-2001!
Well, add one more young’un to the list. August 11, 1981 (or 8-11-81 for short - makes filling out forms really easy). The thing about my birthday is that I am rarely around people I know other than family for it, since we move most summers. <sigh> Such is the life of an AF brat…
