life isn't fair

remember when you were in high school and that's what crossed your lips about twenty times a day. i had one of those moments today. it was perfect until now when it came crashing down around me. when fairy tale weddings don't really exist. when i know prince charming isn't waiting in the backyard.

my sister has a good friend, emily. but not good enough that they hang out enough. it's not fair really. emily's martha stewartesque surburban "perfect" mother doesn't seem to enjoy our family. she's uptight. my mother has told me she doesn't enjoy her company. she makes her uncomfortable. it doesn't make sense since i have the kind of mother that's sophisticated and could fit in with the Queen of England at a posh tea party. despite all this emily and sarah are still friends. pen paling across the metroplex. they stay in contact, if just barely.

so, out of nowhere sarah gets a call. emily's birthday party. they both have a shared interest of orlando bloom and a promise of "Pirates of the Caribbean" is in store as the entertainment for the party. sarah hasn't seen her in ages and she's excited to see the movie of my dreams. she breaks my heart going to see it with emily but i understand.

2:30pm: fast forward to now. a half an hour before they are going to leave to drive an hour to get to the party. my sister calls to okay directions again and boom. the party was yesterday. how does someone miss a party? well, if you tell someone a party is on saturday than it's fucking on saturday and not on friday. please send inventations. don't be a jerk.

emily has been giving me bad vibes all day. i woke up early from a 9:30pm bedtime and was awake to go to the mall with my mom this morning. some last minute shopping away in dallas. an hour away. exactly where we have to drive later in the day for the party. it just figures i was right.

i hate when idealism gets in the way of seeing how people really are. just shallow.
