Happy Birthday.

RANDOM BLOG!!! YES!!!!

I've found that it's impossible to not use an exclamation mark when wishing a Happy Birthday in written form. You HAVE to use an exclamation mark or else the wishing doesn't seem excited or sincere enough and it basically makes you look like you don't give a shit if they have a Happy Birthday or not. For instance, a Facebook friend of mine had a birthday recently and I went to his wall to give him some birthday wishes. But, since this friend isn't one of my best friends, I didn't feel it would be appropriate to use a "!" because I didn't want him to get any ideas that we were suddenly BFFs. But after writing just "Happy Birthday" by itself in the submit area, it seemed like it was missing something. A simple period wouldn't suffice (Happy Birthday.), since that would look like I was wishing him just a mediocre birthday and thus making me look like a complete douche. I didn't want to use a comma after the "Happy Birthday" then have to follow up the "Happy Birthday," with something like "you fag!!" or "drink one for me!!" because then I'd be using the exclamation mark and it would defeat the entire purpose of not using one after the birthday wishing. So in the end, I decided to just put the fucking "!" in there after the "Happy Birthday" and move on with the feeling of being completely and utterly annihilated by the powerhouse English language.
