do you think birthdays actually have an effect on our personalities? like not the be all and end all, cos factors of genes, culture etc, are going to have an effect of course, but maybe determine a few general things? cos i have this fat birthday book that has 2 pages worth of info on people's characteristics for every day of the year and mine actually fits really well with my personality so i was quite impressed!
