1)i hate birthday cards with a burning passion. they're useless and just waste time.

2)if you don't see me in person and know me irl, do NOT call, text, etc me happy birthday. it's annoying and i don't give a flying fuck. frankly, i think it's annoying. it just blows up my phone and wastes my time. especially since 90% of those people dont text me any other time of the year so I have to go to my messages and delete a bunch of texts. I was so fed up with it that I didn't even reply to people this year. It's funny too because apparently msot people want to be texted happy birthday? why?

3)please stop wasting money on stuff i won't use. that makes me sad because money doesn't grow on trees. if you really want to give me something, just hand me the cash. I don't want things very often, so it's best to just hand me cash, that way i can use it on things i actually want when i want it. also, having more money gives you a more financially secure future, and who doesn't want a financially secure future?

4)can my mom stop trying to force me to hide how i feel about something I'm gifted? I feel a lot better about it when I do share how I feel about a gift, that way they know better for next time. Last year my mom praised me for hiding how I felt about the gifts one of my aunts gave me but, funnily enough, she didn't know which emotion was for which. She thought I was upset about the pokemon blanket, which I really wasn't. I mean, I don't use it, but can you really have too many blankets. She thought this because I wasn't as into Pokemon at the time. She also thought I was fine with the book I was given, which genuinely makes me want to throw up. It's called like "Hottest Heads Of State" or something and I already knew I hated it just from the title. I looked into it (because it said there was a free eisenhower mask and i wanted it) but the way everything was written (even the directions for cutting out the mask so I never took it out) made me feel like vomiting. That book makes me super uncomfy. The only reason I still have that disgusting book is because I haven't had a chance to get rid of it yet.

Did I just go on a rant? Oops.
