OK, my birthday is tomorrow. Do you have any ideas of what I should do? I'm turning 23, and I was considering watching The Number 23, but I'll have to do that on my own because my friends think it's too scary. What do aspie adults tend to do on their birthdays? Any thoughts?

I really didn't do a whole lot on my birthday, but I did buy a hockey jersey for myself. * Hockey is an big passion of mine. *
I stop doing stuff for my birthday a while ago, so I can't really help you there. Happy Birthday anyways! :)

Hm, not sure. I usually spend birthdays by myself or with one friend (parties were clearly invented by satan) my parents used to drag me out to extreme sports, zorbing, skydiving, bungee jumping, hang gliding etc. which always went down well. 'cept for skydiving, they had to strap me to another guy, that would never have gone down well... Anyway, doing something dangerous and adrenalin inducing is always fun.

why not treat yourself to something nice, or do something just for yourself, even if it means having a duvet day. It's your birthday. Oh happy Birthday by the way :)

Why don't you do something really outragious and out of character.

Hey, we share the same birthday! Mine's tomorrow, too. How about you send me $100 for my birthday and I'll mail you a birthday card approximately 2 weeks late for your birthday? Seems like a fair enough trade. :wink:

But in all seriousness (The above was totally serious too), just have fun! Go to a thrill park or something. Go up to a random girl and tell her it's your birthday and that you would like to pleasure of having her company for the day: And THEN go to an amusement park. :D

Happy Birthday! The number 23 I didn't find scary at all lol. I really didn't do much at all on my birthdays, mostly typical cake and presents. The novelty of a birthday wears with age, so I really don't have a suggestion,
whatever u do though have fun!

Sounds like I should buy something and/or do something that rushes my adrenaline :) Running naked around a park sounds like an interesting idea...It would be cold, but who cares? lol I've been thinking about finally buying myself an X-Box and playing Morrowind on it. Sounds like a good birthday present. Thanks for the happy birthdays and the ideas by the way! They sound like excellent ideas, or at least made me laugh. I've been working today, but I think I'm going to have a nice dinner. A couple friends said that they would come over and we'd cook something nice together. I think we might play Settlers of Catan, which is super fun (and can definitely be an adrenaline rush lol).

I think the real answer to your question comes from within. What sort of things do you like to do? Are you Ms Adrenaline or do you prefer something a little more relaxed, say?

The only thing scary in the number 23 is jim carey's acting :lol:

It would seem that the solution here, as it always is, is capitalism! Buy something shiny!
