Hello. There are a few new books available at Petals & Pages to read. I hope to continue expanding its stock.

I am also curious about peoples' opinions on something. There have been more than a few posts regarding birthdays-- do you find them important? Is it important you know someone else's? I feel as though there are many takes on this.

Thank you.

VIANCYAACHAN IS IT YOUR BIRHDYSAY

[ hurriedly mashing the send button ]

[pinkmin]

[ . . . ]

Not today.

Are you alright? Are you suffering a medical emergency.

[Have you been on set for 96 hours and counting.]

[daikonrose]

oh I shouldn't leave on the capslolckk like that huh!! sorry! That must have been alarming but nothing i s wrong! I was just in a hlittle hurry! when is your birthday vianca sychan

[ How many hours it has been is a good question. What day is it, would also be a good question. Kyoko would not be able to confidently answer either if pressed. ]

[Awwww yeah, MORE BOOKS.

Still, there's an actual question here, so Nita focuses on that for now.]

It depends on your personality, really - some people like making a big deal and throwing a party for other people, or having one thrown for them. Others prefer to be left to themselves, or just have a few people give gifts.

Some people prefer to be the ones to give gifts, even when it's their birthday! So you don't have to throw a party for someone if you're not sure if they want it.

Asking first is a good call regardless, anyway.

[pinkmin]

Those do seem to be some of the conclusions from other posts. I suppose I am more curious about the knowledge of a birthday in the first place, since some people seem to be upset when they find out about one after the fact.

[unfavorableinstigation]

Well, if people don't know their birthdate for themselves, that's one problem.

But telling them in advance not to make a fuss is still a gamble. They're more likely to respect your wishes, but you can't expect them to do nothing, either.

[Nita's gathered what's up, but she's going to - in text - give Vianca the benefit of the doubt, as it were.]

[zapdope]

Birthdays? It depends! If it's a friend's birthday, they're totally important!!

[pinkmin]

So you would prefer to know a birthday. Do other birthdays then not matter? What about your birthday?

[zapdope]

I've love to know when your birthday is Vianca-chan!! What would you like for your birthday?

My birthday? It would be nice if people do remember and be nice to me on it!

yeah birthdays are important

its good to know your friends birthdays so that you can celebrate it properly, give them well wishes and gifts and sweets and stuff

is yours coming up soon?

[pinkmin]

I see... properly...

[She did not actually see.]








I suppose it depends on the calendar differences.

[21kingpuddings]

right! its nice to have a good time and be happy on your birthday

it kinda feels like the calendar here is the same as back home for me? just with different names for the months but the same besides that

when is it?

Birthdays are really important! It's like a holiday for one person, saying "We're really glad you're here!"

[pinkmin]

What if that day was already a holiday?

[thekingsshield]

Then it's twice the fun and twice the celebration!

Birthdays are useful for marking the passage of time, and tracking one's growth and development when young to assure their health is good. As people grow older there is less objective worth to birthdays. So long as someone knows how many summers or winters they've seen, that is adequate enough in the eyes of medicine.

Disregarding the academic and medical value of them, however... If something is important to a person I care for, then it becomes important to me as well.

[pinkmin]

That is a practical way to look at it. So if the person you care for did not consider the day itself important, you would not mind not knowing?

[astralera]

I would not mind, no.

My birthday happened during a certain monster spider invasion, now that you mention it. I'm still not over it! I was robbed! Of course I'd want everyone to know it was my special day, but I missed my chance foreeever.

[This was not quite the question now was it.]

[pinkmin]

[Not quite, but this answered it pretty well regardless.]

There is still time to let people know what day it is, I think. You could tell me it right now, and then I will know for this year, if we are still here.

Were belated festivities not an option?

[begguiling]

I was sick right after the barrier broke, like a lot of people. And then it was already Christmas! I can't compete with Christmas. You see the position I'm in? Anyway, it's October 27th! That's Lasohm here.

[kahunanu]

Not important. Lost count after a while. Happens when you get old.

Enjoy 'em while you can, girl.

[pinkmin]

That makes sense. Some of my first years feel very far away, even if they weren't that long ago.

Do you do anything for your Pokemon instead?

[clickertraining]

'course they're important! it's an excuse to have a party with your best buds!

[pinkmin]

Hm.. Parties are proving to be a popular option. Since those require planning, it makes sense that people would want others to know.
