Welcome to Gaia! ::

Anyone ever witnessed the snowball effect on something you singlehandedly created?
It's insane.
Fascinating really.

STORYTIMEGO
I have this friend, Steven, who for the past two months or so has been referring to another friend, Sarah, as his girlfriend.
I thought nothing of it since I've known he's has feelings for her for a long time and she had a little thing for him.
On facebook yesterday morning he posted something to the effect of "My life sucks so hard. Compared to my life you're all living the high life....... and my lover's parents treat her like s**t"
I thought that was a bit strange, and rude, to be randomly telling facebook Sarah's personal business so I mentioned it to her.
She then tells me they've never dated, they aren't together and never have been.
Whoops.
Caught him.
She tells Steven later that day to stop telling people she's his girlfriend and she is obviously very angry at him.
Today he asked me if I knew what happened and I said yes, he then asked if I knew who told Sarah that he was calling her his girlfriend.
Sarah told me she didn't want me to get in trouble so she didn't tell him who so I figured that it would just start more drama if I told him it was me.
So I said 'no'.
He then goes on to mumble something about "I think I know who it is then, it's probably this one girl that likes me and wants to get Sarah out of the picture..."
Sarah texted me a couple hours ago saying Tanya, a mutual friend of all three of us, called her saying that Steven had been asking her if she told Sarah and that she started it.
She said Tanya sounded very upset but she doesn't know what Steven said for sure.
So now I am going with Sarah to confront Steven because I'd rather Tanya not be blamed for what I did.
So tomorrow I'll be hanging in the shadows while Sarah confronts Steven again so it things start getting hairy I can protect Sarah and unveil myself as the one who did tell her.
(Because I really do feel bad Tanya got blamed for it)

I've never been one for drama can I can almost understand why people start rumors.
Makes you feel powerful.
(Though all of that is truth, I swear I've started no rumors. The only lie I told was not telling Steven I told Sarah.)
[/storytime]



So
Anyone else watch drama snowball into something bigger?
Anyone had a rumor spread about them?

Am I the only one who finds drama fascinating as a study of human interaction?
(And as a show of your friend's true characters.)

...
Steven sounds like a very...peculiar boy.

I will never admit this too any of my friends,
but I do love me some real life drama.
:]
I actualy often have some trouple even considering people as friends
until I see how they react too drama in their life.

I think I might be responsible for alot of those.
Since I seem too be somewhat socialy inept,
and rarely realise that I said something wrong until it happens
(and boy do those instances stay with me)

I remember that my parents were always somewhat paranoid about me in social situations because I never seemed too realise that if they had talked about how "Grimurs son was the most annoying thing on the planet"
I should in fact not when mom and dad were complimenting said man for his son, say "But you said he was the most annoying thing on the planet!"
and so on and so on.
Which ussualy ended in some type of rivarly/all out bitter war.
Mom says I'm responsible for a few people not talking to them anymore
=D

But I would like to believe that I made up for it by being adorable.

And these day I make up for it by being brutaly honest.

Kawaii:
Oh, I have better stories.
Trust me.
My friends are insane.
Now that I know Steven was lying I'm trying to figure out how he thought he'd get away with it.
(And now he's denying all of it. Even to me, whom he's referred to Sarah as his girlfriend before.)

klikk:
Same here.
You really get to know someone's true character in times of drama.
I have a friend that was always so sweet but when she had a HUGE amount of drama two years ago she reavealed just how self-centered and manipulative she was.
Not really friends with her anymore.
That kind of sucks for your parents, haha.
I'm the opposite, I used to be so socially awkward in the other direction so I was overly cautious.
I wouldn't say something if I thought it would offend someone.
Now I try to say more of what I feel.
(Mostly I just use the "freedom" now to make morbid jokes.)

DT:
I find it funny that I started it all accidentaly.
It would have come out eventually, I just happened to be the one who mentioned it first.
I wasn't planning on ratting out Steven. sweatdrop

Aww, it's okay Moonlight.
We all have those moments.
It's always when we have a nice long post too. D:

So news update.
I got defriended and blocked on Facebook.
lolololol
I am highly amused.
(because that is just petty)
I'd understand if I did it intentionally to hurt him or with malice.
But it was an accident that I told her, and honestly she should have found out sooner.
(He's still denying most of it but kind of admitting "okay, maybe I called her my girlfriend accidentally once or twice")
