Today, I got a cross-country job promotion. I decided to plan my Going-Away-Forever party, and bought a pack of 100 invitations. After mailing them out to all my friends, I have 92 left. FML
I agree, your life sucks 436
You deserved it 86

8 close friends are better than 100 whatever friends!

wah. you want more friends, and can't have them. I have a dozen or so friends. If I was leaving town again, I couldn't invite them all to a party. It simply doesn't happen. We all have lives. We get together as small groups on occasion, but I can't think of many times we've all ended up in the same room at the same time. 3 or 4 for drinks here. 3 or 4 show up at someone's house there. I did move across the country. My "moving" party was me and my girlfriend, packing the truck. When we were done, we drove to a few friends places to give away some stuff that we couldn't take with us. Then we were gone. Of course, we flew home on occasion, and had a great time with a few friends at a time. Sometimes those visits were pretty busy, because we'd have made arrangements with various people at different places. I wonder what it's like where you can invite everyone to show up at once. :) I don't send invitations to my friends to met up. I do something that may sound weird. I call and ask them when we can get together, and oh my gosh does that work well. No invitations. No RSVP's. We get together, have lots of fun, and end up with some good memories of it all.

Impromptu get-togethers do tend to be the best ones in my experience. Although I'm sure it would be possible to get all of your friends together at once; it's really just a matter of planning it in advance so people can make sure their diaries are clear and so on.

#219, do you feel better now? You must be one of those people that love to hear themselves talk, so then it also contaminates your ability to shut up on the internet. It's ok, dear. They make medication for that.

im only good enough friends with around 10 or 12 people to invite to an event like that so its notttttt a big deal

How did this one even make it on to FML? Really this isn't bad at all. Its better to have a few good friends than lots of friends that aren't "good" friends. Remember "Everyone's friend is no one's friend."

The worst part is, this is a woman. The illustration looks like a fat man!

look on the bright side less people to pay attention to, to remember their birthdays and what not, to comfort them when they're crying about nothing over the phone if you look at it like that...friends are pretty overrated :p

i know that its not easy to tell that the person in the green is a woman but really i could tell easily because of the chest area yea its not exactly normal but its still noticeable
