"I think some people *like* having some drama in their lives.. In her defence, she is the nicest person I've ever met and she has a heart of gold. She's lovely, lovely, lovely, but so damned flakey!! I don't know why she puts herself through all this agony.. "
I think you hit the nail right there...some people like the drama, are almost addicted to it, and it gives them the attention they want/need. She's a grown woman who I'm sure recognizes a 1-niter for what it is, but dramatize it and she's got attention (even ours).
Sometimes people like that are "fun" but in small doses. Most times though they are a lot of WORK and they can suck the life outta you. She's lucky to have a friend like you, Nataly. All your dropzone are belong to us
