saje i feel the same way. i just dont like birthday parties anymore. i havent had a birthday party since i was 8. apparently, my parents havent given me a birthday present since i was eight either. ohwell, thats their choice. and i dont like toher birthday parties. its just too boring for me now. and i also hate sleeping at others' houses. i only like my own bed, well, beds (i have 3). i guess i get homesick...
