Reading Stoic_Slaughter's journal

Why are people so dramatic? I mean, seriously..this is starting to anger me. Let's just make a hypothetical situation. Sally can't open the pickle jar. Now, if I couldn't open the pickle jar, I'd probably say screw it and eat something else. Or, perhaps, I would get some assistance from a male family member...but Sally isn't like me. She throws the pickle jar at the wall, weeping for hours about how her pickle jar opening skills are inadequate and how it's all her fault that her kitten died when she was a child. Why, people? Why? Why this drama? It seems that everyone around me is suddenly caught in an intricate soap opera. My brother, for instance, got mad at my father last night over some stupid little thing, so he sprayed cologne all over his wall (why?!) out of anger and then insisted that he sleep in my room. I said he couldn't, so he said "Fine. Give me the sleeping bag and I'll sleep in the hallway." I was just thinking, "Okay, you whore...you're the one who sprayed cologne on your wall for no reason. You're not sleeping in my room and I'll be damned if I give you my sleeping bag." But I gave him the sleeping bag, because I'm not dramatic. I don't know. Maybe everyone is just so freakishly bored that making everything dramatic would be more interesting, but the fact is, this is ridiculous.

For my next trick, I shall make you all disappear.

Your probably right. Either that or the majority of people can't handle not being the absolute center of attention. Therefor they make every thing out to be one more step in th world's plan to irraticate them from the gene pool.

honestly, wanting to be the center of attention is human nature. My friends and I just find other ways to be "the center of attention". (usually by doing something completely out of the ordinary or just being very loud. that is my expertise)<-sp?

I wouldn't say it's human nature. I'd sure hate to think of myself as "inhuman". It's got a real Bell Ringing Hunchback With A Big Lazy Eye feel to it. Doesn't sound very appealing.

In the same way you'd rather have a different kind of attention than she was talking about, some people would rather keep to themselves and put some distance between themselves and the center of attention.

Agreed.

Or perhaps that What Exactly is That Bubbling Blob of Green Crap in the Middle of the Floor feel.
