history: I make it a habit of not telling people when my birthday is.  This year however, a friend from work got me something,even though i thought he didn't know when my birthday was. I'm not a fan of birthdays_comma_ so I usually try to keep my birthday secret from people when I meet them. I'm kinda the same way. Although_comma_ I feel like if my friends truly care about me_comma_ they'll find out and remember my birthday on their own. No need to go blabbing to everyone about it.
current: That's pretty much how I feel.  But these are new people at the college I work at, and my friend Ron brought something in for me, and said, "that the college told him it was my birthday."
next: Now why would they go and do that! Well, in any case, what did good ole Ron get for you?
