Happy John Gets a Cake Day

I can't believe I forgot my own holiday! My first semester in college, and every subsequent year after, I've hit a huge slump around this time in October. It just generally sucks. So I decided to make up a holiday as an excuse to pull me through. Originally there were rules to Happy John Gets A Cake Day, I had to complete a list of things, the last of which was to get a cake and enjoy it around people. That theme still remains most central and after the great Happy John Gets A Cake Day reform of 2005, pretty much anyone can celebrate (even if their name isn't John). Also the list of activities is more or less lost to time and 'friends only' locks on old live journals and is therefore rendered unimportant.

I am so surprised it came and went! I thought it was this Thursday (as that was the week day it originally fell on). In fact this is the first time in four years that I've forgotten Happy John Gets A Cake Day comes every October 12th. I feel the need to go buy a cake, or something.

So everyone, Happy Belated Happy John Gets a Cake Day Day!
