It's about time I made one of these. I was feeling in the mood for one and just to start the record, it's not directed at anyone or anything in particular [right now], it's just a bit of conceptual pseudo-meta.

Delicious.

[insert poncy throat clearing]

Drama.

We all know what it is. In fact it was the basis for an advertising campaign from this network, so if you haven't quite clued in, I'm posting links to give some helpful hints.

Everyone dramas. Some people do drama better than others, and some people do drama for a living and we call them things like 'actors' and 'writers' and 'tabloid fodder' and give them awards and read about them in the press. We also giggle madly over pictures of them starkers and having a lark in someone's pool/beach/front garden.

Anyways. Drama is good for several things. It makes a novel gripping, a televsion programme stunning, and compels people sit through 6 hours of LOTR. It comes in many forms, but regardless, we adore it. I personally, am a gratuitous fan and eat it up like [insert marginally insulting metaphor here].

Drama between people happens. It's part of real life, but we tend not to put the stamp of "OMG THAT'S DRAMA!!!" on it because, well, it's rude to do such things. And honestly, how many people want to be rubberstamped like that? It usually sucks when it happens, and isn't very pretty [though Drama can also be something pretty, don't get me wrong]. But because people tend to equal drama, the interweb, which theoretically should be free of drama as you know, it's an interconnected set of links between machines on a combined mainframe, it's not.

Sadness.

Usually Interweb Drama [or ZOMGDRAMAZ] comes about from something lame and petty and usually in the area of things that five year olds would find to be stupid and wouldn't touch. It starts as a nitpick or a miscommunication/understanding between 2 people/parties and then errupts into a giant fight, that is a hand snap away from being a scene from West Side Story or the Outsiders.

I myself have nanced about in drama and it ruined a good set of boots.

Really, what I'm saying is that Drama when not used for Fictional or Profitable means [hopefully combined for Greater Impact] should be kept in the spare room like that pervvy uncle no one likes, but comes to parties anyways, mainly for the potato salad and to leer at you over the Jello. Unfortunately, Drama will come out, shake his ugly arse on the dance floor and we'll all be horrified/scarred for a good bit.

Good times. Or not. Not an excuse. Just an observation.

And PS: Fake ZOMGDRAMAZ amuses me to no end.
