Birthday Wish List ================== I'm sick and tired of that custom! I want a right not to celebrate my b-day. I wouldn't be sorry if celebrating b-days were illegal. I do not care if there's no room for such bans in a democracy. Without the ban I am not simply free - like I deserve to be - not to celebrate b-days. The day before yesterday, I received a phone call from my mom asking me to prepare a wish list for my upcoming b-day. Who said I wanted any gifts? I want freedom from the need to make wish lists. So, I guess I will write to my wish list that I want to join the military and fight a war. I guess my parents are not going to like me reminding them of wars, but I hope they will not want to ask me to make wish lists anymore.
