Nobody wished me a happy birthday yesterday on Facebook and I am (strangely) a little hurt by that.

They didn't call me either but I am more upset about the Facebook thing. I thought I hated Facebook.

Unless all my friends have unfriended me and I don't think that is true.

Sigh. Guess I'll go eat worms.

I just think it's weird that it bothered me, when I always claimed to hate Facebook, even though I do use it.

If you want people to notice that it is your birthday, you have to tell them, seriously.

That was the problem actually. I guess when they switched to the timeline thing, I never really checked those settings. Duh.

It is also weird that I am not seeing anything new from most people. I have blocked some people from my news feed, which explains some of it.

Happy Birthday. I think alot of people miss the birthday thing since it is way off to the side. I don't always remember to check it either and I don't even go on FB every day either. Hope you had a good time anyway. (((HUGS)))

HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!

BTW...I seldom wish people a happy bday on FB. Usually, it's because I don't notice the little notification thingy, or I missed it...or, I just don't have the energy to come up with something besides "happy bday".
