i have issues

I was (everyone act surprised) a loser in school, but my mom was the Cool Mom. Everybody liked my mom. This was fine when I was a kid-kid, but not fine once I was a teenager because it's not actually as helpful as you'd think, when you're a bookish weird kid, to have a mom who would rather be hanging out with the kids than, y'know, being a grown-up. Most people want their parents to be cooler. I wanted my mom to stop trying to be friends with my friends. Like, seriously, we had fights about this.

Flash forward to today, when I got a text from my mom telling me that [friend I haven't talked to in years because she ghosted on me after quitting the job we both worked at] left her a voicemail, and... look, I realize it's irrational to be mad that this friend who isn't really my friend anymore probably butt-dialed my mom, but I am totally a little bit irrationally angry, because I'm still kind of hurt that this friend totally ghosted on me. And now this wtfery.

That would drive me crazy, honestly. I don't think it's irrational to be upset by that.

It's not irrational to be mad, because this chain of events is bizarre as heck and there's really no other possible way to feel about it.
