Drama in grade school is nonexistant. Zip, zero, nil. Everybody's happy. Drama in middle school, is something you hear about. Maybe it happens - once. Maybe twice, if you're really unlucky.

In high school, drama consumes your life.

And it's slowly but surely consuming mine.

Yes, people. Drama.

Because some of my friends are stupid. Right now, we have two big things going - both started within the past few days.

Scenario #1: One of my friends is really pissed at another friend, because of an offhand comment. Friend A (the one who made the comment) was simply being a little defensive over her boyfriend, which friend B (the one who's mad) doesn't have, nor does she want one. She makes such a big deal over it, that it's comical. So friend B starts calling friend A all kinds of stupid, for actually HAVING a boyfriend, and friend A makes an offhand comment to try to get friend B off her back. Then friend B gets all pissy, and convinces everyone else to be pissy at friend A - when it's her fault in the first place! All this over a comment... oy, these people are idiots...

Scenario #2: Another friend just broke up with her boyfriend of about seven months. That always comes with all kinds of drama. But this is just ridiculous. Girlfriend decides she 'wants a break' - which means breaking up FOR A WHILE... wow... so Boyfriend decides that she's breaking up with him for good, that she doesn't like him, and that she's just letting him down easy, and decides to cut himself... with a dull knife. OK, WTF? If you're gonna cut yourself, at last do it right. Boyfriend's Brother now thinks that Girlfriend is a royal b*^%#, and tells me the whole story over IM, while telling me to help get them back together, by asking another friend of mine to go out with her best-friend/brother-type-friend... HELLO! THAT IS NOT MY DECISION, PEOPLE! Not to mention, Brother-Type-Friend wants the original couple to get back together. And, what's really f-ed up, is the fact that Girlfriend didn't even want to break up with Boyfriend... yeah...

So, not only is it drama, but it's STUPID drama... These people need to learn that the world doesn't revolve around them. Oh, gasp, your life is horrible! The world is still spinning! There's still starving children in Africa, people! Think of the man with no arms and no legs and no tongue, and STOP FEELING SORRY FOR YOURSELF!

God... I'm glad this is a blog, and I'm allowed to rant...
