Friday Five

This week's Friday Five:

1. Do you really make wishes when you blow out the candles on your cake? Totally. It's one of those habits from childhood that I can't break.
2. Have any of the wishes ever come true, if yes? I think most of them have come true. I've always been a realistic wisher. It just takes time (e.g. years) for them to happen.
3. How do you feel about birthdays (e.g. love the attention, just another day, don't want anyone to know my real age, etc.)? I like celebrating my birthday with the people I love and the people who love me. I don't love public attention brought to it (e.g. people singing to you in restaurants), but I like just enough attention that it's not just another day (e.g. friends gathering together specifically for my birthday).
4. Tell us a favorite gift you've received, or something you'd really like for your next birthday. My birthday's in three days, but I've already received what I want, which is a position at MAC Cosmetics. I find that with birthday gifts, good memories, rather than physical gifts, are what matter. And I've always had good memories attached to each birthday.
5. What flavour cake? When I was a kid, I was all about ice cream cake. I prefer cupcakes, just because you're not stuck to one flavour. But I do thoroughly enjoy red velvet cupcakes. Although, I think I prefer pie to cake these days. Yes, birthday pie!
