I turned thirteen on Friday the 13th

I turned thirteen on Friday the 13th. This was also the name of the first Facebook group I joined.  I felt privileged to be part of such a select group (second only to those born on February 29th); membership was literally written in the stars.

Anyone born on November 13, 2002 is also turning thirteen on this Friday the 13th. Using a list of Friday the 13th occurrences, I subtracted thirteen years from each occurrence date to generate a list of birthdays for people who also turned thirteen on Friday the 13th:

Of course that's me at the end.  I turned thirteen on Friday, May 13th, 1994. My golden birthday. I do not recall anything particularly unlucky befalling me. I'm sure, like all my birthdays, I ate crab meat stuffed shrimp and Carvel ice Cream Cake. Owing to this alone, it was a good day.
