![time with tash [chaos in cairo]](https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhl1Sto0_IXPl0pCFpiL-nNDF50gf0iI3QOKzeM0GftOBbVGxkYi0ZJ2KHZda8YM31af-GwmFEe8DtSSrPkkdogho7tVwz75wQbST7n0XJDc8OUE4ROmELrKI21n2-5OR-_MFliPA/s800/bloogo.JPG)
i took a step back and had a good look at myself.
i guess because i'm not one to hide my emotions, and i often (if not always) wear my heart on my sleeve, and sometimes i'm a little too quick to let my heart jump in where my head should be operating, that it can all add up to look a little.. well drama queen like.
it sort of distresses me. do my emotively charged ways make me a bad person? is it a hideously terrible trait?
i mean, i'd like to think that i'm still grounded. i'm sure i'm still grounded.
in true tash style, i'm putting myself out there for the massacre.
i welcome any honest perspectives.
is being a drama queen (or as shirls would put it, an r'n'b star) something i should strive to overcome? and if so, how?
level-headed people of the world.. i call on your assistance.
(i assure you, this is one of the only times i'll be open to this kind of discussion. thank you for your understanding.)

well, let me think.... hmm, you've just written an entire post about how potentially traumatising it may be for you to consider that other people consider you as a drama queen, so, umm. YES
you're also a nerd.
i wonder what brought that up now???
Nooooooooooooooooooooooooo you're not!
haha...what a vin post.
the things that i can recall you being dramatic about warranted drama-queen behaviour because they were pretty huge...
if the question is 'are you dramatic?' then the answer is an astounding yes, but if we're asking 'are you inappropriately dramatic?' then its a NO for me.

well the polls are in.. am i a drama queen?
we had two resounding yes's.
one resounding no.
one loving in between.
and one undecided.
SO YOUR CONCLUSION IS THAT I'M A DRAMA QUEEN!
WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT YOU JELLYHEADS! I AM NOT A DRAMA QUEEN. YOU ARE ALL THE MOST RIDICULAS BLOG-VISITORS I'VE EVER ENCOUNTERED.
i need a glass of water.
i need a glass of water and some crushed ice IMMEDIATELY.
dont forget the fluffy pillow
i love tash!!
I wouldn't say your a 'drama queen'. After a long analysis I would attribute your 'show of emtotions' to mild ADHD, have you parents takes you to see the the family doctor? May be a good idea. Must say though, Im a big fan.
I SAID THIS POST IS CLOSED!
