Uhm... no beer. Pizza is always good. Paintball is always fun. Outback Steakhouse if you're looking for really good meat. Oh, and don't forget the birthday spanking.

As I recall, when I turned 23, I went to Outback Steakhouse for dinner with my parents.

Oh, and I changed my Away message on AIM to read that I felt old at 23.

I've been thinking a 'roving party' would be awesome. I won't hit my twenty third birthday for a while, but still. Just get a bunch of their friends together, and have play a few party games at each of a few houses.

Being nearly 17, I would not know. Gimme another six years and I can help you... maybe... I have wierd tastes... think I'd rather go to Chuck E. Cheese than a club. >.>

Pizza good!

I have yet to play paintball. *sigh*

The birthday spanking should be... banned... at least from my dad. >.<

The Letter from God Dear child, Despite your silence, I have heard your soul weeping. Why have you been so unhappy? Have you forgotten my everlasting love for you? Child, you are mine. Why have you not called my name sooner? If you seek me, I will answer. I am your counselor, ready to instruct you and show you which path to take. When you come to me, I will embrace you and silence all your fears. Just remember that I am here to hold you close and dry your tears. I will always be right beside you. Not only am I your father, but your best friend. Do not be afraid to ask for my mercy and forgiveness. I know that its hard to live on earth, so I understand when you fall down once in awhile, ask me for help, and I will pick you up and carry you. No one loves you more than I do. When you feel alone, remember I am beside you. When you feel helpless, remember I offer myself to you. When you feel lost, remember I will lead you, and when you feel forgotten, remember that you are my child and I will love you unconditionally. It is never too late to come home. I will be here waiting, ready to embrace you. I will leave the light on for you. Forever with you, God

I suggest going to a steak house. Or perhaps a place that has all you can eat ribs... OH yes ribs, or maybe barbequed chicken legs...

Wait. Sorry, my meat fixation was acting up again. (note to self: dont post about meat an hour befor supper)

I should take notes since all be hitting 23 at the end of this year. I really don't do much anyway since my birthday is right after Christmas. Most people are busy. I usually just have dinner with my family. When I turned 21 I had a glass of wine with my dad and that was it.

I didn't do much for my 23rd. We had a cake. People said "happy birthday". I narrowly escaped having to make a speech at church because someone else had a birthday nearby and I made a point of being low-key about it. I might have gone out to dinner with my family or something, but I don't quite recall.

I don't really care too much about birthdays, really - I'd just as soon ignore them. I like the idea of just advancing everyone a year on the same day so I only have one holiday to ignore. That way people would take it less personally. (It's nothing personal if I don't do anything for your birthday - I'd forget my own if people would let me)
The cake used to be a lie like you, but then it took a portal to the deception core.

I'll probably have about 23 people mistaking my b-day for being Halloween (it's on Oct. 30), but as long as I get cakes and at least gift cards, I'm good.

I think mine was a surprise birthday party. But it's hard to arrange those for yourself! Personally I always like to tie them into an experience, perhaps a trip somewhere - a daytrip or something - like hiking and camping overnight, or dinner and then spend the night out under the stars or something.

For my twenty-third birthday, we hung out at The Apartment like we always did, except for some people set fire to a cheesecake. We also wore sombreros, because by the time they got around to celebrating my birthday it was Cinco de Mayo. Here are the sombreros:

NOTE: Cap'n Nick is not in this picture. He is behind the camera like a goober.

There was also a piñata, which caught fire in a similar but wholly distinct manner from the cheesecake. I couldn't take any pictures of it, though.

If I could do it over again, I would either do karaoke or The City Museum. The City Museum here in St. Louis is the best thing in good clean fun for old folks that I've ever seen. It's basically a giant jungle gym, only it's for adults. It sounds weird but it's a total riot and a lot more fun than some smoky club where it's too noisy to talk.

[color=#CC66CC] See? Now THAT looks like a good way to spend a birthday. If I wanted to go to Chuck E. Cheese for my 25th birthday next year, I would. Never let anyone else's preconceived notions of what someone your age SHOULD do keep you from enjoying life. That's when you get old ]
