Need birthday party advice

So my bday is coming up soon. T be exact. So thats major right? Well..Im fearing it will be a dud.

EVERY YEAR...every 'milestone bday' has flopped big time. Mainly because no one I know seems to care enough to even put forward a mild effort (such as show up to a party or dinner) for me. Heck I barely even get gifts from people let alone telephone calls or cards!!!

Every time I try to plan something I want my friends involved but it usually falls through. One year I had several people I thought would like to join me at a club for a drink but every one of them
I know it sounds poor me poor me and I know ya'll probably have it worse. But I like to think when Im old and gray I could have one fond memory of something along these lines. Not saying gobs of money or planning have to occur just ya know...some friends around doing something I enjoy.

But this year Im really well...screwed with the matter. I moved. And we are all quite literally poor as dirt so flying around isnt an option.

I thought about flying back home for a few days but only one friend remains there and the costs of doing it (about $600) were just too much. I made my two best friends an offer that Id pay $100 towards a ticket for them (this would roughly be about 40%-50% of the total price) as its all I can afford. They havent responded back yet (I just did it LOL) but I want to plan for the worst as getting my hopes up is way worse then planning for the likeliest outcome.

I live in a really great area with a million things to do but really around my bday theres only one thing that may remotely interest me. I dont know a lot of people here yet so I really cant say I have any 'friends'. I have a few people around but heck there busy NOW let alone then; besides Id feel a little funny asking one of them to come round and kinda confirm my looserhood if it was just me and one of them (again like I said these people are all new to me; so they dont know me well yet or vice versa).

So in all liklihood Im gonna end up alone. Again.

Take drinking out of it I still cant think of anything remotely interesting to do. I have this probably daily let alone on a special day LOL! I hate eating in a sit down resteraunt alone (I've done enough of it thanks), shopping is dull (what am I shopping for?), and going to the beach or walking around the tourist areas is so 'any weekend'.

So any suggestions? I know Im totally pathetic and poor me sounding so forgive me. I will live Im sure of it. But Id welcome any relief to this problem grrg. Thanks!
