I see people speak of birthdays a lot here. They seem to mean a great deal but I've never had one.

Can't promise I'll never toe the legal line but I won't try to use my birthday as excuse.

Yeah, basically people will cut you more slack and be less quick to judge you because they don't want to ruin your special day. It's like a sacred thing. A day where self-indulgence isn't a sin and you get tons of free shit. People go out of their way to make you happy and don't expect anything in return.

The only downside is if you're weird about getting old or being the center of attention.

	That's about as good a promise as I'm getting, I can see. I'll take it. I'm learning a lot about the way people think today. It seems strange to think that the day a child is born can affect the way they behave once a year for the rest of their lives. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I can see you're smarter than average. It's not really the exact day that's important. Some people just need an excuse to take a day for themselves. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	I have good programming. It feels like a good excuse to take time out. A way to measure time, also, and what the year has meant. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	So you're AI or something? Yeah, I guess you can get all sappy about it if you want to. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Not anymore. I'm a person. I was programmed and my components are all mechanical but I became something else. I broke my orders and became free. Sappy isn't always a bad thing. I came from a war-zone so time to reflect is a great gift. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Cool. I don't have a problem with sappy. My sister and my boyfriend can get pretty sappy. (Reply to this) (Parent)
