I dunno. Where I grew up people had parties on their birthdays to celebrate the day they popped outta their mom's nether region. All your friends show up and there's cake and games and people bring you presents. Got no clue how it started but it's a tradition and supposed to be their "Special Day".

Not sure how much of a fuck I give about all that, but Feli went through all the trouble to surprise my feathery ass with a party so I still get all my brithday boy rights because I say so.
