Drama Mama

So, I like a little gossip as much as the next person, I can't even help it. I am one of those people that reads the police reports and obituaries, that wants to hear all the gory details but then immediately wants to forget them. It's not that I thrive off of people getting hurt or terrible things, because really after hearing stories like that, I feel terrible that it happened, I just can't help but be attracted to actually HEARING the story. It really does not make any sense because I am the biggest wuss imaginable. Complete chicken shit. And you better believe every minute after hearing whatever grusome story I was told, I'll be imagining the many ways it could fit into my life, or happen to me. So there really is no point whatsoever.
Anyway, this got completely off topic. What I really was thinking about was the ridiculous amount of drama there was in high school and how I do not miss it. Yup, good one Jessica, the two thoughts are completely related. I've been drawn to this gigantic fight between these girls and this guy that are in high school. (see what I did there, now it's related) And I mean, thats what made me think about not missing high school, but really, some of the things these people are saying to each other are just downright horrible. I NEVER took it that far, and I could never imagine saying any of these statements to someone I considered a friend. Things like: "I hope you die" "You're an extremely fat midget" and "You sleep around, are an alcoholic, a bad influence on your sisters" or "You're a tranny with bad hair"
Now I'm not a prude by any means, but this just strikes me as SO horrible. Especially the first one, I don't think that throwing around death is really even on the realm of a high school fight. I don't even say that about my worst enemies! I don't think I'd say that about any human being! And stooping down as low as to critique the way someone is built? My fights never even got that far. Not only that but the topics of sleeping around, being an alcoholic..all things I didn't really even know about in high school. It just makes me wonder if kids really are becoming worse off every year. I mean don't get me wrong, these people can actually seem to be really intelligent at times. But stooping as low as to say any of those statements, not just to anyone, but to someone you used to call a friend? It just blows my mind. And makes me glad I'm not in high school.
I am certainly counting my lucky stars to have such lovely friends. I really got lucky, man. They are beautiful, FULLY ALIVE (and I wish them to stay that way), caring, beautiful people. I wouldn't have em any other way than the way they are.
