For my IRL friends I usually just give them an Arizona, along with a card. They get more excited over the drink. For internet friends, I usually message them a happy birthday. I either give them an e-card or I give them a "what happened today in history"

I usually just send a happy birthday message.
Same here, unless I'm really close to the person, in which case I will sometimes get them something. I always get @Shiny Celebi; a plushie for her birthday, even after we stopped dating. Because plushies are always my go-to present for Pokemon fans (which includes every single friend I have, although a few are somewhat of nostalgiawhores).

For my real life friends, I generally just give them a few candies or something. Because I'm too cheap to pay for something more expensive most of the time.

I prefer chocolate candy. As for birthday wishes, if I know them in real life I say it to them in their face. If online, then I contact them and make the wish. Not big on giving gifts.

I think I'm so going to have to pay for my own birthday "presents" this time around.

For birthday presents, I've had it pretty hard most of my life in that area.

For ten years, age 13 through 23, it seemed like my father insisted on him or my mother not getting me anything, and it was not until my 23rd birthday when my mother broke that tradition by getting me the Pokemon White version DSi bundle. Ever since then though, any gift my father got me was either seriously uninspired or was something that he benefited from as well.

Bleh, I hate him. I hate my mother worse, but I still hate her because she failed me in a way that I will never be able to look up to her again.

Don't feel sorry for me though, I'm anything but miserable - I've got a new girlfriend who is absolutely amazing, a roof over my head and at least some direction in my life. I am content, and quite fine with the fact that I wish to have nothing to do with my parents because a mother and father is not defined by blood, it is defined by actions - if their actions do not deem them worthy of such a title (which in my eyes, they do not), then I can treat the plenty of older people in my life that have shown much more care for me then them as such.

I believe that there are certain things that you can never break, though.

A bad relationship is bad, all right, especially when it concerns your parents, but...

There's always something inside me that tells me that this might not be the best path.

Blood is the beginning of a good relationship. It sets the bases and helps you with intuition. But, yeah, if things get wrong from there, and you can cut it out without severe consequences, cut it out and you are okay. Blood isn't everything in this world. If you feel better this way, it's all right.

I thought you were referring to the gang. xD Then I thought you meant actual blood. I get it now though. :p

Sorry for puzzling you, thought that the above posts would clear it out :))

I just remembered that today is @Mijzelffan; 's day of mourning.

Animal Crossing is out today Stateside.

If no one rubs it in I'll be fine >:I

I finished dangan ronpa today. Cool overall, lame ending. At least that's my opinion. Some like the ending apparently. I hate it when endings are bad on otherwise good things. I should change my avatar to Kirigiri.

That reminds me of the imminent release of The Last of Us. It's been getting huge critical acclaim prior to release, and it looks deserving of the praise. I hope I have the opportunity to play it someday. I eat up post-apocalyptic stuff like a sponge, and the gameplay looks great anyway.
