Friends, Birthday, Facebook and Social Media: Happy Birthday

Happy Birthday

By happybirthday - 22/04/2009 19:42 - United States

Today, was my birthday. I purposely didn't log onto Facebook all day, so that I could read all my birthday wishes at once. When I logged on at the end of the day, I had one notification. My "friend" had commented on a picture of me, saying I looked like Jabba the Hut. FML

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

Today, it was my birthday. None of my family members wished me a happy birthday and neither did the 1,000+ "friends" I have on Facebook either. FML

Today, it's my birthday. The only "happy birthday"s I got were from my mom, her Facebook account, and the Facebook account she made for her cat. FML

Today, I changed the date of my birthday to today on Facebook to see how many people actually know my birthday. My mom wished me a happy birthday. FML

Today, I checked my fake Facebook account for the first time in ages and realized that the "fake me" got more birthday greetings than the "real me." FML

Today, it's my birthday. The only people who wished me a happy birthday were the ones who saw the "birthday boy" poster my sister plastered around school, which included a photo of me as a kid dressed up as a girl. FML

Today, I forgot to log out of my Facebook account before leaving for work. When I got back home, I discovered that my brother had gone through and commented "quack" on all my friend's duckfacing photos. She was not pleased. FML

Today, it's my birthday. My grandma posted about it on her Facebook wall, but people got confused and thought it was her birthday instead. She got twice as many birthday wishes as I did, and that's including the ones I got outside of Facebook. FML

Well, facebook has moved the birthday notifications to a really weird place. I never see them so I don't wish anyone happy birthday unless I notice other friends have in the news feed. Your friends probably did not realize it was your birthday so don't feel too badly!

Change your status to "Happy birthday to me!" or something. People probably just didn't know because the new Facebook is retarded. Well, if we're going for sucky birthdays...on my birthday last Sunday, my brother got in 2 fist fights with our cousin at 2 and 4am while our parents were away. I spent the night fixing the multiple holes in the wall and mending his broken knuckle while he was drunk and passed out on the living room floor. ... Anyways, happy birthday! (:

this is an awesome boost of confidence for me since I stopped using facebook and a year later on my birthday i got email notifications from 70 or so comments even though a lot were from people I didn't talk to since high school. haha sorry but this is a great FML and exactly why I read some of these, great for my self-esteem. FYL, happy late birthday.
