I wonder if I'm so weird sometimes. I always seem to be like a stick in the mud. Apparently, not liking a teen soap opera makes me weird?

I don't like it because it's a drama. I don't like drama. This drama has caused me my own personal drama in life, because my friends like to peer pressure me into doing things, and I dislike being pressured. I recall that 'drama' show not only caused drama, but changed my friend[s] dramatically. No pun intended, but my friends changed ... it wasn't so much they matured. They definitely didn't. They just started caring about other things. But that was years ago, and now my friends and I are on a truce again.

Now, another one of my friend decides that she likes watching that drama, and she's sucked it all up so much that she's becoming the same dramatic airhead my other friends used to be. Her priorities in life are starting to change, and she isn't as accepting as she used to be. Telling me to chill? Thanks, but that's all there is on the surface. A friend would tell me to calm down. A real friend would wanna know what's wrong.

Everyone seems to think that drama is real life shit though, and I sometimes wonder if I'm the only one that understands that life can be different and you can be above the influence, or if I'm just ignorant.

I'm glad to say that I don't really think I've ever been through ANY high school drama. It isn't because I don't have friends or something [where there are people, there is trouble]. But I deal with things in a different way, and I've avoided making things into real "drama"-like situations. Can't people take things in a more mature way?
