Found out about sister's engagement by Facebook

Op - get over yourself

She was excited. She tried to reach you.

I'm just really sensitive to being left out since everyone else lives close together, and I'm all the way out here.

Perhaps you've been left out in the past because you're an over-sensitive drama queen?

What the hell? Why are people being so mean? I am not causing any drama. I'm not saying anything. I haven't complained to my sister about ANYTHING in the past. I'm left out of things because I'm a 12-hour drive away. I've made countless trips to visit them, but my sister hasn't visited me in DC once. Have I said anything about that to her? no.

You're right, I'm sure you're all sunshine and roses to be around. Your resentment and self-absorption don't come oozing out all the time. You're a delight!

Deal with all this stuff and stop fixating on the engagement announcement. That's obviously not the real issue.

She might have felt the need to post on Facebook without waiting another day because word was leaking out (other Very Important Family, the soon-to-be-Mr., etc.) and she wanted to make her announcement instead of having people post to her timeline in dribs and drabs with "hey, I just heard, is it true, oh, wow".

This is your problem - not your sister announcing her engagement on Facebook AFTER she called you. Deal with this - everything else is a symptom of this problem.

Okay, I'll say it. She couldn't hold off posting on facebook until she reached her sister? I mean really? I think it was kind of immature of her. more important for her to post it for the masses to see before her own family knew? that's BS

"The masses" includes stray family she couldn't reach.
