I'M 17! Does it count if you aren't here for a total year? I don't care. I'm COUNTING it. Otherwise A LOT of other questions come into play. Such as August 8th probably isn't my real birthday. However, I do like the sound of August 8th. I can't imagine being born on any other day. What if my real birthday is Christmas? I dodged a bullet there. People seem to think you get twice as many presents, I don't believe it. IT'S A LIE.
