Wow, I'm so sorry. That's absolutely awful.

In the grand scheme of things though, it's just one birthday. You'll have a lot more, and much better ones, I promise. :) In the long run, you probably don't want to be with a girl who will believe people's lies and not give you the benefit of the doubt, without at least talking about it before storming off.

I've always felt it was better to be alone than to be with the wrong people.

Since the party didn't work out, perhaps you could schedule another one? Maybe next week as a post-birthday party?

Anyway, for what it's worth, happy birthday!

Hey man, happy belated...sounds like it could've been better but as Sir Edward said- better to be alone than with the wrong sort.  That she did that w/out even letting you speak your piece means she does not possess the wherewithal to make sound judgement- better to learn that now than later.  You know whether or not you are innocent- you will find that sometimes, it will be you against all.  As a knight, it is our calling- but that doesn't mean we have to love it all the time.  There will be better ones to come, wait and see.

My sympathies to you for such unfortunate occurrences to transpire upon your birthday, but as what has already been stated you will have a few worse ones and I hope far better ones more often in your future! As for the girl friend, methinks there will come a day when she will lament her poor and frivolous choice.  ;)

I'll echo what these fine gentlemen have said; if she left over such a trivial "he said she said" and doesn't trust you, there was little to be had in the future with her anyway. And I'd go for a "weekend after" birthday party - sometimes it's just schedule conflicts.

As an example, 3 weeks ago we had a "1 year old" birthday party for my nephew. His mother invited roughly 120 people - and we had about 30 or 40 show up. Sometimes it just happens that way, but it's a good reminder to appreciate the people who did make it. :)

Almost been there:Earlier this year, a week & a half before my 32nd b-day, my fiance broke it off and asked me to move out. I had moved 1500 miles to be with her, we then got engaged, and a month after I moved in she told me it was over. I had to move 1500 miles to find a place to live.

That incident brought me here to this board actually, so some good came of it.

So Happy Birthday man!

Have a laugh, you feel better.

That's a great video. I've seen the lyrics posted somewhere - I had no idea there's a video to go along with it.

Yeah that sucks, it doesnt feel good and its just lack of respect in a way because you had to do so many things than a month later they change their mind.

But aside from all that I got a two handed sword for my birthday, just needs to be sharpened. Anyone know a good tool used for sharpening a sword?

The best tools I've seen for sharpening are still the "classics". A couple good stones of different coarseness and some whetstone oil. Definitely *never* take a grinder or power tool to it, or it will destroy the temper. The high-end katana makers seem to still do it that way - I'd guess it's the same for european makers, since sharp is sharp regardless of the blade it's on (ignoring blade geometry). You can pick up some cheap starter stones for around $5-$10, or a full maintenance kit for around $25 - it's marketed as being for japanese swords, but stone is stone, powder is powder, oil is oil. :)

Oh, if it's a stainless sword, don't sharpen it. Stainless is the devil's metal if it's used for a sword that is anything other than a display piece.
