That's what I have been asking for every year for the past decade or so. I've never gotten it.

I think my parent's thought process when I was a kid was something like "Nah. Kids love birthday parties."
Just like how people buy me cake every year. I have never in my life had a piece of cake. If you're going to get me some kind of food get me a burger. Or a 6 pack or something.
It annoys the hell out of me. My girlfriend likes having a birthday party. So every year I have one for her, and I make all her favourite foods, favourite drinks, get her gifts that she wants or needs. For my birthday, I just want to be left alone. But if I must have a party couldn't we at least have food and drinks that I like? Know what was at my party? Cake, crappy fruit flavoured beer, and white wine. All the things I dislike.
Over the course of this post I went from mildly annoyed/disheartened comment, to angry ranting, to bitching.
