Dramatizing the Un-Dramatic

Life has been surprisingly normal.

Some normal, expected things that have happened:

1. I went to the gym for about a good 2 weeks, then stopped.

2. I already started drifting off in the middle of one of my classes... on the first day.

3. I ran into an ex-boyfriend and his girlfriend when I looked like total crap.

4. I cleaned 2,000 salad forks, 300 creamer pitchers, organized 300 baskets of tea and sugar baskets, and then subsequently decided I hate my job again.

5. I went to the cubicle hoping people would be there, but alas, the class of 2009 was nowhere to be seen. Nor was the abroad lady that I already miss. Or even the people I would have actually hoped would be there.

See? Normal. No drama. I always joke around with my roommate about how freaking dramatic my life is. Usually I have some crazy boy dilemma, or I'm dealing with issues from home or something just strangely dramatic happens. Not so much recently. I'm going to class, hanging out with my friends, going to work... being normal.

So why does it feel so mundane?

I've had this constant fear for most of my life that I am a drama queen. And okay, I like a healthy dose of gossip. Especially that of the celebrity variety. But who doesn't? And I do have a tendency to put myself in awkward situations, but I think that's more just because I am an awkward person, rather than me secretly self-sabotaging. I cite a Cute is What We Aim For song lyric to explain this further... "Drama doesn't follow me/It rides on my back." Good song, by the way. Download that one.

Maybe I am dramatic. Afterall, I was an actress for a little while back there in high school. And I am a writer- and as we know, writers LOVE to get inspiration from life events, especially dark and depressing ones. And I have always been emotional, so I guess dramatics usually fall in line with being an emotional person. So maybe being dramatic isn't all that bad? If I'm a drama queen, at least that means I can find ways to entertain myself and keep it all from being so mundane, right?

Regardless, hopefully some interesting things will happen sometime soon, so at least I will have something to blog about ;)
