GOSSIPS: Fanning the Fire
What’s the meaning of MEANIES in our lives? We’ve all got ‘em. What do we do with them?
Mine is Briana the Bitch (the frenemy from hell) a resident in my ER who tells anyone who’ll listen not to trust me because I’m a “Man Eater!” Briana is stuck in the past. She may have a high IQ, but socially she’s still stuck in high school. Move on, girl, it’s 2011. Life doesn’t have to be AWKWARD! for the rest of our lives. Does it?
Today I hear about an even worse MEANIE from “Hottie,” an out-of-work TV Actress whose name I can’t divulge. Hottie’s long-term Acting Coach, “Pushy” just turned into the DEVIL (the meanest of MEANIES!)
After the boundary-less Pushy’d wormed her way into Hottie’s professional and personal life, acting like her Coach/Mom/BFF/Therapist, she pushed Hottie too far when she told her to break up with her boyfriend.
“ENUFF! Hottie said, ” I’m going to break up with YOU instead!”
So Pushy, like a scorned lover, goes ballistic with 24/7 over-the-top, calls, texts and emails. Hottie blocks her. And Pushy takes it up several notches. She spreads RUMORS throughout the Industry that Hottie’s no longer acting because she had a NERVOUS BREAKDOWN! (F@#k!)
I ask Hottie if she’s gonna sue Pushy or at the very least have some hotshot Entertainment Attorney write a cease-and-desist, but Hottie doesn’t want to fan Pushy’s fire. Hottie’s Manager says she’ll “manage the situation.” So Hottie’s gonna take the HIGH ROAD. She’s focusing on being an Awesome Actress and getting LOTS OF WORK so she can prove Pushy wrong!
THE GOSSIP MEANIES IN OUR LIVES
Are they Insensitive or insane?
On medication or should they be?
Narcissistic or Nuts?
IS IT BETTER TO ENGAGE OR IGNORE?
Is their GOSSIP destructive or do others see it as “DRAMA?”
Gossip Meanies mess with our heads, our reputations and our ability to focus on what’s important. Avoiding the DRAMA might be the best way to deal with these HEARSAY HUSSIES!
People seem turned-off by DRAMA these day, anyway. TV Dramas are getting cancelled all over the place and COMEDIES are where it’s at.
So let’s all try to FIND THE FUNNY when it comes to the Meanies in our lives. If we can laugh at these LOSERS the PATHETIC PUSHIES of the world will lose their POWER!
(What Meanies mess with your life? What do you plan do about it?)
love your stories, Evie! And I like playing with my meanies’ heads. You know what’s fun…Smiling and not saying a thing. Freaks them out and it bothers them more than retaliating. hehehe
Of course..the Cheshire Cat smile on my face may be the thing that’s really freaking them out but it helps me not get so rattled 😉
Knew you’d know! I’m gonna try that next time (IF I can control myself) Thanks!
It took me a long time to learn that kind of patience…haha
Yeah, learning “patience” is on my “to do” too!
