How much roasting is too much in a best friend birthday status?

Roast the shared history, not the person — bad ideas you both had are fair game, insecurities are not. If the joke only works because it stings, cut it.

Should I post publicly or just message my best friend?

Both, in that order. The public status is for the world to see you showed up; the private message at midnight is the one they'll actually remember.

What if my best friend never posts anything for my birthday?

Post anyway — some people show love offline and that's fine. A status is for celebrating them, not invoicing them.
