I love F. Scott Fitzgerald

but I hate The Great Gatsby with all the passion and fire that it lacks. That being said I just saw the trailer and it almost makes me want to see it. … I’ll wait for it to come on tv.

Tried to do a fishtail braid on top of my head. Not sure if I failed because it still looks kind of awesome lol.  (Taken with instagram)

I want my Mom .. but not my real mom .. the one I made up, that hugs me and listens to my problems and tells me it’ll be all right. The one that picks me up when I’m down and helps me out. The one that not only acknowledges my birthday for more than five seconds but also gets me a card and tells me how much she cares. One that doesn’t make me feel stupid when I care about trivial things like being with her on mothers day or my 25th birthday.

She told me she couldn’t get anything for me and that we’d go out to lunch some time, which is something normal mothers and daughters do irl all the time but whatever that’s fine, but then she posts in facebook that she’s settling in nicely at lake texoma for the weekend. Tell me something tumblr .. if you can’t even afford a second thought to your daughter’s birthday how do you afford a weekend away with “the girls”? Also how can a man, that doesn’t have much and isn’t actually related to you, afford not only a card but $50 for his son’s girlfriend’s birthday?

I just don’t understand. She doesn’t make any sense to me and I know I probably shouldn’t still be upset about this but it hurts. A lot. I can’t help but think how big a deal my sister’s birthday is going to be … which just upsets me more. I said it on Monday and it still, in my mind at least, holds true … I bet she gets a fucking pony or something equally outlandish and I’ll be frowned at for not being there because I have work. Or if I do go the first words said to me will be “did you pay the phone bill?”
