As you can tell in the succeeding comments, people followed suit {to my examples, I sincerely apologize} thinking it was indeed her birthday. The first few comments had me snickering {sorry, guys!} but when 50 or so people have been commenting, I was panicking. Did I just set off something resembling a prank?

A bit of history and trivia on the year I was born.
I only know REO Speedwagon's Can't Fight This Feeling :D
And best of all, the handwritten bit:
Honestly, this is one of the best gifts I've received in a long time.
Thank you, T! Suddenly I can't wait to be 26! Most of all, thank you for the friendship.
