LOS ANGELES, June 28 (UPI) -- Parks and Recreation's Aubrey Plaza said she's not big on birthdays. Actually, she usually spends them crying, going over all the things she hasn't accomplished and all the things she'll never accomplish, she told Conan O'Brien.

"I usually cry on my birthday," Plaza said, to a laughing audience.

"What are you talking about?" O'Brien asks. "You're talking like, 'well, just a month to go..." "Well, that's how I see things," Plaza replied. "What can I tell you?

"I watched Game of Thrones," she went on. "I haven't even watched the other episodes. I just watched one episode. I was just crying and watching and, people like this, why doesn't this make me happy?"

"Does anyone want to be around you on your birthday," O'Brien asks, with a roaring crowd in the background. "You're the worst person to hang out with on a birthday. Is it just your birthday that you're like this, or is it every day of your life?"

"I'm just counting down the minutes until it's over," Plaza replied.

"I want to kill myself now," O'Brien retorted.

A few days earlier, Plaza admitted, she attended a mini Parks and Rec reunion and cast members Chris Pratt and Retta brought cupcakes. "It wasn't my idea," she said, "but people did it to me."
