A thought...

Drama is an interesting thing. Everyone seeks to avoid it yet, in the view of others around us sometimes we apparantly cause it to others. It's an eye of the beholder sort of thing, I think.

For me, drama is something you're purposely doing to get attention. Sometimes you react to something and that's just how you react to it. Later you might think of a different way to react to something but at the time, that's just your reaction. Some people manuver things like that for attetnion, but generally I'm willing to give the benefit of the doubt.

Hmmmm.... So, the little bits of pseudo-drama I saw this weekend weren't even really that. People react to things in different ways. Everyone has different coping mechanims.

Just some thoughts...

Pssht. That wasn't drama.

That was the most drama-less con I've ever experienced. There were people grousing and bitching, but there weren't any moments (at least not in my vicinity.)

No one brought a "travel woojie" bag and cast runes on mirrors and all reflective surfaces so they didn't get "attacked" by evil con-goers.

No one threatened to kill me, one of my friends, or themselves. No one got into a big blow-up fight. No one almost drank themselves to death.

Some people bitched. When don't they?

This was definately a low drama con.

For me, drama is something you're purposely doing to get attention>> Kat you are so correct, thank you thank you for seeing that. So many peeps do not realize this , because they themselves , crave attention.

There isn't anything wrong with craving attention. It's just making a scene so big or hurting people is not the way to get it.

Again, I agree. Sometimes people's craving for attention makes them oblivious to what is being created around them. They are so self involved that they do not see beyond that. I have witnessed this many times. Tis a sad thing. I usually end up feeling sorry for these people...

Hmmm... Well, everyone needs attention. Without it people get kind of weird. If you need it all the time, there is very possibly a problem there.

I want to expand on that.. enjoying attention is healthy.. although "craving" it .. I'm not so sure...
