I never thought I'd become the type of person who could get caught up in the drama once called 'a petty excuse for lonely housewives to indulge in the lives they wished for themselves as teenagers' by a man who smoked more weed than he drank water. However, as I've grown older I've begun to realise just how much drama seems to enjoy my reluctant company. It's not like I'm trying to live in some sort of sad excuse for a novel, I just seem to attract the kind of people who leech off of that kind of thing.
