Drama Free? Gimme A Break!

Have you ever noticed that the lesbians who say they “hate drama” are the most dramatic of all? The line from some Shakespeare play comes to mind: “Methinks thou doth protest too much.”
I met a woman through some friends last summer and I’ve seen her a few times since then. Not “dating” her, just seen her at a bar and a party.
This woman has recently moved here from New Jersey and each of the three times I’ve seen her, she complains to anyone who will listen about how there’s “too much drama” in California.
That’s cool. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, right? Until….
The last time I saw this woman, at a friend’s party, I witnessed her creating the very drama that she professes to detest.
A friend and I were sitting at the party, enjoying some good dish about another friend. Just some friendly gossip, no big deal.
The New Jersey woman walks up to us, listens to us talking for about 12 seconds, uninvited mind you, gives us both a look of disgust and says, “I don’t do drama. I don’t want to know about this.” She turns and walks into the house. My friend and I just raised our eyebrows at each other, and continued talking.
A few minutes later, I walk into the house to get another drink and I hear New Jersey talking to a group of three women. “I don’t need the drama outside. Blank and blank were talking sh*t about blank.”
Are you kidding me?
The way I see it, if she really didn’t “want to deal with our drama” she would have walked away from us and not mentioned it to anyone. From what I heard that night, this was not the only group she told about us gossiping. She apparently told anyone who she could corner into listening to her.
This word “drama” gets used too loosely in my opinion, and for this very reason. Because those who claim to hate it are usually the ones ensconced in it.
Let it be on the record; I don’t mind “drama.” (Especially when it’s someone else’s. LOL) Life is full of it. We can’t avoid it, especially as lesbians. But, if I did hate it, I’d do everything I could to avoid it. Like I do with brussels sprouts and men.
