Today, I facebooked my friends about my upcoming birthday party, and told them to keep the date free. I got several responses telling me that's not possible, because that's the day the new Harry Potter movie comes out. FML

Today, I sent out a note to 300 friends saying that I'm having a birthday party in a couple of weeks. I asked to please write back if they are interested in coming. Two people replied. They said they can't make it. FML

Today, my friends told me they will be unable to attend my birthday party on Friday because they'll be watching the Vampire Diaries finale. FML

Today, my friends told me that they couldn't make it to my birthday dinner unless I changed the time, because I'd made dinner reservations that would clash with the new episode of Jersey Shore. FML

Today, it's been weeks since I made a Facebook page to arrange something for my birthday as no one was able to attend last year on short notice. Everyone was game but now everyone is flaking. One friend even said, "I'll see who RSVPs and then decide." FML

Today, the last person I invited to my birthday party called and said they couldn't come because another party "came up" and they "hope I understand". It's on December 31st. This happens every year without fail. FML

Today, I'm having my housewarming party and had prepared food, drink and games for all the 19 confirmed guests on Facebook. I waited till 11 but nobody showed up. I checked Facebook again and realized I had accidentally put tomorrow as the party date. I have to work the whole day tomorrow. FML

Today, I discovered my friend will be upstaging my birthday by hosting another birthday party shortly afterwards. Not for her of course, but in honor of her favorite actor. FML

Today, I found out that when my friends say they're too busy to hang out with me, what they really mean is that they're going to have an awesome pool party, and don't want me to come. The Instagram stories say it all. FML

Today, it was my birthday. Nobody said anything, not even my Facebook friends, who probably got a notification about it. FML

I would honestly have to agree. Opening night of Harry Potter matches no other.

WTF! A rule of life.... Never schedule anything for the date a Harry Potter movie comes out

So, let them take you to the movie as their present. Meet at your house beforehand or afterward for some partying.

It's Harry Potter! HP is awesome :) Just go with them, and have fun. That's what really matters: Having fun on your birthday. As long as you have fun, you don't need a party... Yeah, YDI.

then have a midnight release party at your house starting at 10 pm, and then at 12 you see the movie with all your friends the first showing :)

I would totally skip a party to watch Harry Potter too. Especially since WB insisted on prolonging our pain and suffering by pushing the movie back. YDI for not checking the date before you alerted your friends. They've probably had their plans a lot longer than you have. I'm sure they wouldn't mind if you tagged along and went out afterward, though! #64, epic.

IA with #7. Dude, people have been eagerly awaiting this ever since the book came out. You will always have another birthday, but never again will there be another HBP movie release.
