Today, all of my friends bailed from the birthday party I was throwing myself. This was also after they had encouraged me for months to have one, knowing I'd never had my birthday celebrated before. FML

Fall
Dead leaves, the first cold of the season and an umbrella flipped inside out: fall, the season of grace.
Today, I was uninvited from my own birthday party. FML
Today, all of my friends showed up an hour late for my 18th birthday party because they decided to go get dinner without me. FML
Today, my friends threw me a surprise birthday party. I was genuinely surprised—and also genuinely hungover from celebrating my birthday alone the night before because they'd all told me they were busy. FML
Today, I had my 21st birthday party. My friends told me to have the party even though it had been 5 months since my actual 21st birthday. They asked me why I didn't have one originally and I jokingly told them it was because I didn't think anyone would come. Turned out nobody came after all. FML
Today, it was my 21st birthday and I invited a handful of my best friends over. They all stood me up and I drank alone in my apartment. Happy birthday to me. FML
Today, my friends decided to throw a going away party because I'm moving. It would have been great if I had actually been invited. FML
Today, my family and friends threw a surprise birthday party for me, after I'd said multiple times that I didn't want one. I turned and left and now everybody is angry at me and calling me ungrateful and spoiled. FML
Today, it's my birthday. I'd planned an outside party in my backyard, and I'd invited all of my friends. Only 2 of them showed up. It also rained today, even though it wasn't supposed to. FML
Today, my boyfriend admitted that he wanted to throw me a surprise birthday party. The only issue was the fact I didn't have any friends to make it happen. FML
Today, it's my 21st birthday. All my friends and family said they were busy so I figured I was getting a surprise party. Nope. They all were actually busy. I spent my birthday alone. FML

Aw, OP! Please don't cry! Their pathetic actions aren't worth your tears. Those aren't real friends, and karma will get them one day. You don't need them in your life. Much better friends are out there waiting for you to meet them. Keep your chin up, smile, remember you're beautiful inside and out and try to make the best out of the day. Us here on FML are here for you. Happy Birthday!

I was going to apologize & wish you a Happy Birthday anyway, but Comrox's post nailed it. Sorry to hear, OP.

I'm not sure if it's more sad that they all ditched you, or that you've never celebrated a birthday before.

Step one: Plan a party for out in the middle of nowhere. (Like perhaps a lake?) Make it a midnight party. Step two: Send an invitation to everyone and sell it. (Say there's a keg, games, bathing suit attire, etc.). Step three: Let them all stand around this lake in bathing suits dumbfounded that you aren't there. Don't answer the phone if they call you either. Step four: When you do see them in person, tell them "yeah, about that. I completely forgot that I didn't want a party after all, but I assumed you guys wouldn't show up anyway, therefore, I didn't bother calling to tell you guys." Step five: Write them all off and find better friends. Seriously.

Step 3) have that great party with your new real friends at another lake. Step 4) tell them your sorry the next day you must have accidentally told them the wrong lake but they missed a really wild time. Hopefully you'll be telling the truth.

What would happen is that her friends have a great party on their own, assuming they showed up.
