Is it just me, or is there an abnormally high number of birthdays this time of year? Like, I looked it up, and supposedly it's fairly evenly distributed, with a few percent more in September/October/November... but... it seems like it's muuuch more than a few percent, just going by people I know- almost double any other time of the year. Maybe I'm just aware of it because my own birthday is this time of year.

In a related note, I always feel weird telling people when my birthday is, because I tend to feel like announcing my birthday is like some kind of notification for everyone that they should be buying presents for me or treating me special- and I don't really like a ton of attention in that way. Anyone else get that feeling?

Maybe it's just that I've had a few online friends for whom that was absolutely the case, now I feel like me telling people my birthday is going to make me look like the way I saw said people who were just begging for gifts. ><
