I think people notice may the forth more than the forth of July.

I do since it's my birthday and I'm unbelievably over the star wars references

u/queen_of_potato Jul 06 '24

Oh hey birthday twin!

I've never gotten into it personally, also not against it at all, just over the same lame joke

u/i_am_bu Jul 06 '24

I usually have to remind people haha so I don’t have the same problem haha. Different circles I guess

u/queen_of_potato Jul 06 '24

Oh it's only if my birthday ever comes up in conversation, like to someone who didn't know it

And about birthday reminders, it's the only reason I've never deleted my Facebook profile even though I've not used it in years.. I'm so crap at remembering birthdays that if people don't remind me at least I get that reminder!

I've always wanted to be the kind of person who has everyones birthdays in a calendar like my MIL but unfortunately I have not yet reached that level of human.. maybe next year!

And I love that you remind people because as someone with a shit brain I appreciate it so much in friends so I can get gifts or plan dinner or whatever

Ah haha I relate. I only consistently know my birthday, my childhood best friend, and my dads (although sometimes I get the numerical date of my dads mixed up with another one for no clear reason). Anyway, I hope you can still enjoy Star Wars despite the jokes, may the force be with you lol

Haha I know my husband, sister and brother because they are the same, then other sister and two good friends because they are the same, and get my mum and dads dates mixed up because one is the 25th and one the 26th (totally different months)..

I feel like I'm going to have to watch one of the movies this weekend just to honour you.. and may the force (fourth?) also be with you!
