Honestly, Applebee's restaurant will provide you your birthday. Just let the Manager know. All the staff will come out and make a big bang.
It could be traditional or you can specify a little embarrassing surprise, depending on how extreme. They will either bring you your desert, or you can bring a cake in advance and they will bring it to the table. A Great, and friendly place with excellent customer service.
I know, I am a General Manager there! More.
I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
