I love drama. I think that's why theater people and I get along so well... not only are they in touch with stage drama, but they seem to attract live drama, as well. Now don't get me wrong... Drama can be very stressful. Especially if it involves me, or someone who is close to me... but drama removed two or more degrees from myself tends to be rather interesting... like watching a soap opera, only without the cheesy music and commercials. And real life tends to be a bit more bizzarre than soap operas...
Examples of drama removed two or more degrees: The girls on my hall. They whine about their personal lives all the time, in the hallway, to each other, on their cell phones... Loud enough for me to hear... And so, when I'm here, I end up hearing all about who's dating who, and who dropped which frat guy and blah blah blah... which I find to be very funny. Maybe it has to do with being outside of the little worlds that are affected by this drama (not that my world is any less small... it's just seperate)... I don't know.
Blogs. Are of course, another great source of drama. I love blogs... Nine people I communicate with on a semi-regular basis have blogs... so I keep up with them most of the time. But they are eitehr non dramatic, or I am too close to appreciate the drama... but then, I have a whole host of other blogs I keep up with, time permitting... either friends of friends, or people I just randomly stumbled upon on the internet... and most of them have pretty intense moments of drama. It's interesting to read stories of how people struggle with XYZ, and personal conflicts... and things like that, especially when you don't know any of the people involved...
So what's happening today in As The Blog Turns? Or Guiding Blog? Or All My Live Journals? I'm not telling... It's not my place to comment on the lives and times of people I have never met... I just think it's fun to read *grin*

This is my brain..... in part, at least.
