God, I wish this forum had signatures so I could put this in it.

I read a lot, doesn't help...


YOU FINISHED READING WAR AND PEACE!!!

You were enjoying a birthday brunch in town with friends and or family. A woman of prim dress and stature walks in leading a motley group of assistants and misc followers on. You overhear her whining about the difficulties of organizing the Banksy exhibit in Moscow next year. Suddenly upon realizing that Banksy is coming to town, you jump up to proclaim your excitement, overturning the table which spills the wine which stains the suit of the wall street bankster sitting nearby. The man goes off the rails and in the midst of his insane, though entertaining tantrum, begins disclosing the secrets which will bring down the fascist state!

You finally convinced somebody to buy Resonance?

You found true love?

Your girlfriend said "Yes!" to your question and you'll marry her! (^_^)

P.S.: Happy birthday! (LOL, it's also my brother's birthday today :P)

You slipped and began to fall off of a high ledge onto the streets below. But instead of hitting the pavement, you landed safely on a truck carrying a load of mattresses.

You played Sacrifice for the first time?

You got into the closed beta for System Shock 3?
...

....

You sat down to a plate of oysters at your birthday meal. When, lo and behold, one of the oysters contained a pearl!

You sat down to read a book and a $100 bill fell out?

Your child or grandchild was born today. My birthday is the same day that my grandfathers was. I never got to know him because he passed away when I was a baby.

Anyway, happy birthday Starmaker and I wish you many more :)

You witnessed a Soyuz capsule landing and A cosmonaut shook your hand.

Last one for me:

For your birthday, you met a long lost relative who you hadn't seen since you were a kid.
