Today, my friends told me that they couldn't make it to my birthday dinner unless I changed the time, because I'd made dinner reservations that would clash with the new episode of Jersey Shore. FML

Today, I facebooked my friends about my upcoming birthday party, and told them to keep the date free. I got several responses telling me that's not possible, because that's the day the new Harry Potter movie comes out. FML

Today, and recently, many of my friends have been acting strangely. My birthday is coming up soon, so I thought maybe they were planning a surprise party. Nope. Turns out they've just been secretly hanging out without me. FML

Today, I was admitted to hospital for suspected kidney failure. I called my best friend to let her know I couldn't make it to her birthday party tonight. She seemed to be infinitely more upset that I wouldn't be able to give her a birthday present. FML

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!
