Obligatory "Ooh, it's me b-day! Oy, yay!" thread

I'll make it more convenient for those that just want the giveaways.

Minecraft
Dance Dance Revolution 4
The Sims 3 Demo

And now there were only 4 people left on this thread. 1 just skipped too far to get the giveaways, 1 came on this thread and their browser froze so they can't close it, the third one is me, which leaves the 4th one... you.

You're an odd specimen, you know that? I mean, it's literally just a birthday thread. It's not even a good one at that. It's not a cool age like 16;18;21 or any other round number. It's 19... who even cares about 19? It's also not a thread with cool giveaways... or even with a train. It's lazy and boring. Not to mention, I'm not popular. I'm not one of those people that you'd see on the forums and say "Oh, it's that guy! I know him!". I'm pretty much a nobody, making a boring thread.
So that has left me wondering why you really are here. I mean, if you just wanted to read something then you'd given up by now and just found something more interesting and controversial to have a discussion over. It's the search for a hidden giveaway, isn't it? Well, I have to disappoint you. There is no hidden giveaway... Really. Check my profile if you don't believe me. I'm too cheap and too lazy to hide stuff these days. What you see is what you get.

...You still haven't left? Is it just your morbid curiosity for possibly depressed fat people that's keeping you here? Well, okay, fair enough.
I'll entertain you for a few moments more then. So, what have I been up to this past year. Well, I got into university, where I'm studying to become a teacher. What teacher, I don't know. I might change majors, so nothing's certain, other than that I want to become a teacher. My family life is still as exciting as possible. Those things I tend to keep private. The few that know say that my situation's awful, but I don't think it is, considering that almost every week on SG someone trumps my issues (which makes sense) and this is a gaming forum. If things like that are that common here, I can't imagine what they're like in real life. Personally, I don't sweat it much. The mental damage has already been done and the physical can be mended, so I don't really worry.

I think the funniest thing is that despite all the shit around my life and the public life stories that I've decided to consume, I still forgot my birthday (which should technically be probably a highlight in my year). You probably have figured out that I started rambling in the last two paragraphs, so I'll just cut this short. It was good to vent, even though I think it did more harm than good to my bottled up emotions. Thanks for reading. Whatever it is that kept you reading, I hope you don't regret wasting these few minutes with me.
I've already become less active on the social side of SG, so you'll probably see me less and less. (Though, again, I doubt that you even know of me)
