Drama Queen

Portrait of a Young Drama Queen (Your Faithful Blogger)

Hello, my name is Margot and I'm a Drama Queen.

I'm a Leo.

I'm an actor.

I come from a long line of performers.

Drama...is in my blood.

Sometimes I have to remind myself that I don't have to get involved in other people's drama, I don't need to always be the main attraction and I surely don't have to write myself a cameo in a crappy movie.

I can sit on the sidelines, munching on my popcorn and enjoy the show.

Creative people live life passionately. We are, quite frankly, messy. If you paddle quietly along in the pool, you won't splash water on everyone around you. Passion precludes one from paddling along quietly. Plus let's face it, creative people like it when other people pay attention to them. If we didn't, we wouldn't jump up and down in the pool flailing our arms yelling, "LOOK AT ME! LOOK AT ME!", which is basically the same thing as having a blog and a Facebook wall and a Twitter and a website...

You can not have a viable online presence and claim to be shy and retiring. Sorry, Charlie.

I have a lot of passionate creative friends. I see them getting pulled into other people's drama and I want to say, hey, don't get caught up in that. That's a lame script anyway, keep making your own movie! I have to say that to myself sometimes too.

Okay, I have to say that to myself on a daily basis.

Either you're an extra in someone else's movie, or you're the writer, director and star of your own show.

When you're in charge, you get to write your own lines.

"You see, this is my life! It always will be! Nothing else! Just us, the cameras, and those wonderful people out there in the dark!... All right, Mr. DeMille, I'm ready for my close-up. "
