Drama Makes the World Go Round
Okay, so every single person I know claims to hate the drama in their life. "Why does it always follow me?" and "It's like I'm a magnet for bad shit!" have been a couple of phrases I've heard. The reason it always finds you bitch (bitch as in anyone who annoys me) is because you love it!!!! Reality TV can be found on almost, if not all, networks. I don't know about you, but every time I have watched a reality show the "actors" always seem to have something wrong with their life, and the only way to handle this is to scream at the top of your lungs or pout and moan till you get your way. Ratings for these shows must be high because there are one's that have been on for years and new one's coming out every year. So why is it that we claim to hate drama? It's because we only hate it when it truly involves us. When bad shit is happening to other people we love to hear and talk about it. For example, back in the day they had party lines. A party line was a phone connection shared by multiple people in different houses. When the phone was in use by one house, the other houses on the line could not dial out, but they could listen in; call it a reality tv hotline.
