priorities

What kind of friends would do that?

the fake ones

Ones that don't know how to freaking record shows.

The ones who are planning a surprise party for the day after the finale.

But still after the finale...

Because the finale is the most important part.

Good friends...

It's 2015 dvr is a thing. Tell them for record it. But if they'll miss your party for a show as shitty as that they aren't your friends anyway

Throw a vampire diaries party and then everyone will come!

Woo! I'll bring the blood!

I'll get the wooden stakes!

We're holding on and letting go...!

don't forget the garlic bread!!

i bring the vervain!

I'll bring fake teeth

OP shouldn't have to rearrange her birthday plans just so her "friends" will be there.

well aren't you a treat! :)

I'll bring Nina Dobrev so we can beg her to come back

Tell them that after/while celebrating your birthday everyone will sit down and watch the finale. :)

But the finale's on Thursday!

Exactly what I wanted to say! If they were looking for an excuse, the least they could do is come up with a good one!
To OP; find better friends. And an early happy birthday!

Op should watch it Thursday and spoil it for them in a bunch of mass texts.

If she is in any other country other than America, than it would be Friday. As I am in Australia and had to wait until Friday because of the time difference and the wait on airing/downloading.

#88, true (I live in Belgium myself). But on the other hand; it doesn't take a whole day to watch an episode

So? Tell them to record it. It's your birthday, and recording devices exist for a reason!

The finale is on Thursday, not Friday.. Your friends are either lying to you or are just idiots.

I love how I read this and was watching the vampire diaries at the same time lol

Wait, Nina Dobrev is coming off T.V??? THANKS OBAMA.

Yup, and Michael Trevino is also leaving.

Mine's on Friday too!
