What better way to start off a week than by…celebrating my birthday!!! Even though I\u2019m not a fan of getting older-looking, I\u2019m grateful to still be alive. As a present to myself, (and actually, to you guys, too!,) I\u2019m going to make this one not my usual tome! But I did just<\/p>\n![\"its_my_birthday_balloons_button_custom_badge-r1e2d24fd54bd42d1a4aeec5f752d88c0_k94rf_261\"](\"http:\/\/itsnotaboutme.tv\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/01\/its_my_birthday_balloons_button_custom_badge-r1e2d24fd54bd42d1a4aeec5f752d88c0_k94rf_261.jpg\"){kind=icon}
<\/a>But I did<\/em> just realize something interesting, that I decided to share with you. When I was little and growing up in New York, it was not<\/em> fun to have a January birthday, not because it came on the heels of the holidays, (most everyone I knew was Jewish, and Channukah is far from the big deal that Christmas is,) but rather because several of my friends would get sick in the winter, and therefore had to miss my birthday parties! I never wanted anyone<\/em> to be left out, so I would invite my entire class, and people who had to miss it felt awful. And, having always been the Empath that I still am today, I felt even worse for them than they themselves did! I\u2019m still<\/em> not over it!<\/p>\n<\/a>So, now I live in sunny California, so people getting too sick for my celebrations is not a problem anymore. But having a January birthday still<\/em> sucks for me because it happens towards the panicky-for-studios end of awards season<\/em>, which means that when I get packages in the mail, and get all excited that someone actually sent me a birthday present, it turns-out that all of them contain just movie and television DVDs!!! How extremely disheartening. I was so excited on Saturday when I opened the mailbox and saw five giant envelopes, but when I opened them, they were just filled with disappointment. (Don\u2019t get me wrong\u2014I\u2019m very<\/em> grateful to be privileged enough to see all these movies free. It\u2019s just that it\u2019s depressing to receive them when my first thought upon discovering the packages is that they contain birthday gifts<\/em>!)<\/p>\n<\/a>So now, if you\u2019re<\/em> wondering what to get me as a birthday present, to cheer me up, I\u2019d love it if you would please just follow me across my social media platforms.\u00a0 (In the case of YouTube, it\u2019s subscribe<\/em> as opposed to follow<\/em>, of course.) That would be a fabulous gift! I\u2019ve had tons of problems with all of them recently, from my Twitter being hacked\u2014twice!–to the posts on my Facebook Fan Page disappearing all the time, (and then reappearing after I have already re-done each day\u2019s work on there–ugh,) to people following my Instagram and then quickly deleting it when I don\u2019t follow them back, (which I\u2019m sorry about, but I seriously don\u2019t have time for that,) so I\u2019d really appreciate the support from you on any and all of them.<\/p>\n
