What should I do for my birthday?

Asked by LezboPirate (1289points) May 20th, 2013

My birthday is in approximately two weeks, and I have no idea what I want to do. I don’t want anything that involves alcohol, because my girlfriend isn’t much of a drinker and I don’t want her to be sober all by herself. I want to do something cool though, with..not much money.

Are you near any body of water? Could you combine a picnic with some sort of boat ride—anything from a tour of the harbor to a pedalboat on the lake or a canoe trip on the river?

Don’t wait until you are 40+years old before trying adventurous things like sky diving,rafting,balloon ride,riding in a helicopter ,rock climbing,play a guitar or other instrument,learn a new language etc ( obtain gift certificates).
Too numerous to mention here so here is a website of 50 things to consider doing.

Have fun learning new and different things. Make a day of adventure for your Birthday to remember! Happy Birthday.

Are you into picnicking with your partner in one of the refuges in your area? Or how about a nice dinner then play one of the sexy games were you have to draw cards and do various acts with your partner? Maybe with a small bottle of wine?

How about a one or two-night stay at a nice little bed & breakfast? I did that for one of my 0-ending birthdays years ago and had a ball.

@Pachyderm_In_The_Room GA. I like that. @LezboPirate Maybe combine our two ideas and have a nice night out.

Pachy's avatar

@Adirondackwannabe idea + @Pachyderm_In_The_Room idea = A FABULOUS BIRTHDAY.

…and proves two Fluther heads are better than one. ;-)

No birthday is complete without a good spanking to start things off right. Follow up with a good deed to the community, like volunteering to walk a couple of dogs at the local Humane Society. Then go out later and be really devilish, partaking in all sorts of unseemly acts, both public and private.

Happy birthday!

Have a happy birthday. Do whatever you wish. Watch movies, go for a walk, find a romantic place at the park. Sit on your roof under the stars to usher in your birthday..that is of course weather permitting. Have a picnic. Go for a hike. Go to the beach. Go for a car ride. Go window shopping. That’s it I am fresh out of ideas. :/

Every year for my birthday I go to the dentist. Self loathing makes you do funny things.

I love to just spend time with my husband. Since you don’t have much money and building on @Adirondackwannabe and @Pachyderm_In_The_Room‘s ideas, what about borrowing a tent and some camping gear from friends and taking off for the weekend. Go hiking together. Take photos. Cook over a camp fire. Star watch. If you play guitar, sing songs together. Sing daggy songs on the trip to wherever you camp. Have a fun time.

I still has your gift.
I still vote cocaine. Go Ice Skating :D
Or you could come see me.

LezboPirate's avatar

Okay, okay. When I said I wanted ideas for something to do for my birthday..I meant that could also include my friends. They’re not staying at a hotel with me. Half of them hate camping. And they’re not going to come all the way out here to look at the stars.

I don’t really want to play any sexy games with them either. My girlfriend might frown upon that.

And I’m not doing Cocaine, Ash.

Bellatrix's avatar

@LezboPirate, perhaps you could have told us you wanted a group activity with your friends. You didn’t mention them in your question.

LezboPirate's avatar

I am aware. Hence the amendment, just there.^
I do like to be scolded for things I’ve already fixed though, so please, tell me again?

LezboPirate's avatar

Eh, forget it. I won’t invite my friends. They’re stupid anyway. Continue. I like some of these.

Judi's avatar

Do you have a budget?

nofurbelowsbatgirl's avatar

I mean this because it could be fun but you all could dress up and have a @LezboPirate party? Or is that too much o_O I know I’d do it. I’ve had a superhero party.

LezboPirate's avatar

I did think about that. The only problem is..what is everyone going to dress up as? And where am I going to get a costume.

AshLeigh's avatar

Yeah, you can only find kinky costumes this time of the year.

LezboPirate's avatar

I’ve caved. Booze it is. Anchorage booze.

YARNLADY's avatar

I stand by my advice – it works for one, two or many.

LezboPirate's avatar

So, I contacted the bar I wanted to go to. They have absolutely nothing going on that day. Not even music.. This birthday is going to blow.

Adirondackwannabe's avatar

@LezboPirate What day of the week is your birthday? A concert or band sounds really good.

LezboPirate's avatar

My actual birthday falls on a Tuesday. I won’t be celebrating it until my day off. A Sunday, because everybody is busy on Mondays.

I have Sundays and Mondays off.

Adirondackwannabe's avatar

You’re making this tough. A Sunday is not a big music night. But maybe there is a concert somewhere? That sounds like fun.

LezboPirate's avatar

I live in Alaska. Palmer, Alaska.

AshLeigh's avatar

Yes. Small town in Alaska = nothing cool happening, ever.

LezboPirate's avatar

I ended up doing nothing. It was..super.
