Today, I spent all day making preparations and buying food for my upcoming birthday. It's not for a party, though - none of my friends wanted to come. I'm preparing for the launch of the new World of Warcraft expansion. FML

Halloween
A failed costume, stolen candy and a very real scare: Halloween, the one night when fear is allowed.
Today, I got bored and decided to try World Of Warcraft. 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
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 realised that I've never been able to successfully cook a meal outside of World of Warcraft. FML
Today, my friends threw me a surprise birthday party. The problem? My birthday is tomorrow. I spent the entire evening pretending I was surprised and happy, all while knowing they got the date wrong. FML
Today, as he has all day for the last 3 days, my husband has been playing Cyberpunk 2077. However, it's my birthday. When I mentioned this fact, I was told to just walk the 4 miles to the store and buy a cake, "if it matters so much." I have celiac and he spent our grocery money on the game. FML
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
Today, it's my birthday. I spent the day doing nothing but chores, amongst which baking my own birthday cake. I was then so exhausted that I couldn't even stand my own company, so I ate the cake alone on the couch, watching TV. It didn’t taste great. FML
Today, it's my birthday. My mom and three other relatives each bought me a copy of Diablo 3 for my birthday. A video game that I didn't ask for, for a console I don't have. FML
Today, my social anxiety got so bad that I nearly had a panic attack when too many people joined my World of Warcraft party. FML
Feel like sharing it with the other FML users?

YDI for being a WoW addict. Save the party for after you check yourself out of MMO rehab. That's what you should be doing for your birthday. The gift of giving yourself a life! Very seriously, if you've ever known MMO addicts, you know why people hate this game so much. Any other hobby would be better for you. Any other game. Get some help!

That sounds really rad OP, I'd totally bring you a birthday cupcake and a present if I could go. As long as you're an Alli player that is. (Mostly joking) Happy almost birthday, though! Also for everyone saying "YDI for being an addict", you DO realize enjoyment in moderation is a thing, right? To anyone saying "I won't play because I hear about addiction", it's a gross exaggeration, and more often than not you're going to be kicking yourself for wasting subscription cards (been playing for nearly a year but my boyfriend has been playing for about 5 years and we don't play NEARLY as much as we want to/plan to.)

Sure. Moderation is a thing. I don't know anybody who plays WoW who practices it. I've seen people actually plan a work schedule around that stupid game. It's not even fun to watch. I'll never play and I'll recommend everybody who does to switch to something that isn't internet heroin.

Literally no one is forcing you to play it, dude. If it's not your thing then move on. I'm pretty sure someone who plays WoW knows a few more people than someone who wants nothing to do with it? Moderation is absolutely a thing that exists (especially since things to do are limited once you've maxed out your level). There ARE addicts but that doesn't mean everyone is like that. And it's a social game, being an MMO, obviously. People don't make schedules just to play, it's probably for raids and stuff. The same way you make plans to hang out with your friends. To be honest though, you seem to have some sort of vendetta against the game itself by going out of your way to talk about all these supposed accounts of how terrible it makes people. I'm guessing either it's something personal or you're just one of those people who hate whatever is popular. But I'm not gonna get into that, sooo...
