Confession #2

Confession #2: I like drama.

I'll stand there and tell you that I hate it until I'm blue in the face.
But it's mostly a lie. Or a stretch. However you want to think of it.

The fact is: drama is exciting. When you go to the movies, you don't go to watch a boring film where nothing happens. You go to watch mess up their lives and subsequently fix their mistakes in a clean-cut two hour time slot. You go for the drama.

So I guess you could say that I go out in public to watch various drama unfold. Most of the time, I like to be the distant observer instead of the active participant in any good scene. (But then again, who doesn't?)

But there are times that I like to weedle myself into situations. Example: college parties.
Let's face it: college parties are absolutely riddled with crazy drama. I like to think of the ultimate drama formula as: alcohol + raging hormones = insanity. And what better place to watch the formula unfold than at a college party?

There are so many stories I could tell: chasing down friends so they don't make bad decisions; drunken heart-to-heart conversations with strangers; dancing on your best friend like a lesbian to keep the creepers at bay; early morning hangovers.So much drama, so little time. But each is a good memory in its own right. Each has made me closer to the ones I love, who laugh with me when we look back on these crazy nights. On these crazy dramas.

I love the drama. That probably won't ever change.
And I guarantee you do too, whether you're willing to admit it or not.

Confession #1

Confession #1: I have a confession to make.

Actually, I have a lot of confessions to make.
And I'm going to make them all here. In public. For you to read.

My goal in this endeavor is to come closer to all kinds of self-s: self-discovery, self-actualization, self-like. I'm not sure that I know myself, and maybe confessing my deepest, darkest (or not so deep and dark) secrets to an anonymous internet audience.

So we'll see how this goes. It may not go far. It may go farther than I could ever imagine.
Only time will tell.
