Drama : a state, situation, or series of events involving interesting or intense conflict of forces

1. Are YOU drama prone?

2. When there is a lull in your life, might you unconsciously inject DRAMA to keep things interesting?

3. Have you ever felt that a lack of drama in your marriage means the love spark is a flicker and not a flame?

4. Do you ever get exhausted being around people who eat, drink, breathe drama?

I HATE drama! As a matter of fact I can't believe how much drama is in my life right now. I sometimes wonder who's life is this anyway because it surely cannot be mine. I refer to it as my Jerry Springer life because it still blows my mind that I am dealing with all this drama.

Oh dear.

Have I added fuel to the drama fire ?

I'm so easily suckered pep. I'm sorry. <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/frown.gif" alt="" />

Well I guess creating "dramaramas" like that are is easier than dealing with the huge stinking dead whale in the sitting room, eh ?

lets start a self quiz to determine if you are drama prone...

#1. HAVE YOU EVER ATTENDED A FAMILY-MEMBER WEDDING AND ENDED UP IN A BRAWL ?

If it's any better, one of the men whose brawl I intervened in has since emigrated to Spain.

NOT me!

But I did end up injesting a poisonous leaf and calling the poison control center.... they asked "How old is the child?"

.... I said

"ummmmmmm .... she's 28"

Well, I come from a part IRISH family and DRAMA is a way of LIFE for us! We do not EVER run from a skirmish. That being said, I think some things are inherently dramatic based on the subject matter. I don't like drama for drama's sake, but will not avoid it [SHOCK! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/grin.gif" alt="" />] if I think it is worthwhile.

Question #2.

"Have you ever called up a friend and told a lie you knew would get them anxious and excitable just to live through their reaction?"

Ok.. dunno if this qualifies (no brawl):

I broke my arm on Easter day when I was 8 years old..
My dad nearly fainted when I got up, took hold of my arm and straighten it out again myself !! <img src="/ubbt/images/graemlins/eek.gif" alt="" />
