Ha I can imagine. Same thing happened to a friend from high school, and it made it extra tragically funny that she's one of the nicest people on earth.

I dunno if it's selfish, but I've done it a lot. August 15th is apparently a very popular birthday - I can think of 5 people off the top of my head that I neglect for my own well being.

Yea it's nothing against them really, but it's almost like picking sides after a relationship ends - you're going to celebrate with the person you're better friends with.
