Why? If someone doesn't see any significance in birthdays, then why
should they celebrate them?
By the way, Dave, I agree with Matt about two important things:
Sure, there are people who breeze few classes at MIT (a very small
number of them, to be sure, but they do exist). But it is simply
*not* true that "... everyone else not only deals, but deals well with
everything that plagues you." Others have the same difficulties in
life as you have. You're not alone.
And no, you're not the only person who has trouble controlling your
hormones.
I am convinced that, with a few exceptions, women were put on this
earth to keep men from f*cking themselves to death :-). At least one
of the two sexes has to exhibit some self-control.
