Yes.

But not in America.

Using all-caps renders this question purely rhetorical.

It's not possible to live a drama-free life, period.

Dan, wouldn't you say that you live a fabulous, out and drama-free life? :)

for some reason, FABULOUS almost always comes in a package deal with BITCHY... And in that case, there is no possibility for a DRAMA-FREE Life.

In a cave, maybe.

attention gays: you do not have a corner on the drama market.

It may be possible, but I doubt it is for C.H. The use of all-caps and the word fabulous is a tip-off.

Lol, you nailed it, Dan.

I'm straight, and specifically un-fabulous, but I still don't see why not. Don't take the little stuff too serious, lighten up, and most things are going to be just fine. Too many people confuse this with being catty or bitchy or "fierce" or whatever, which hints at a desperate longing for approval that will long be the source of that persons unhappiness.

It's the difference between Rip Taylor and Tyra Banks. If sex is off the table, I'd WAY rather hang out with Rip Taylor.

Um, is it possible to live life drama free at all?

Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player, that struts and frets his hour upon the stage, and then is heard no more; it is a tale told by an idiot, full of sound and fury, signifying nothing.
William Shakespeare says no as well and who's to argue?

Of course it is. Step 1: Avoid the drama queens. Step 2: Repeat Step 1 as often as necessary.

Staying away from booze and heavy drugs can indeed free you from too much drama.

FABULOUS is intrinsicly dependant on DRAMA! This bitch couldn't possibly be that FABULOUS otherwise he would know this by now. What an amature!
I bet his hair is disgustingly bleached with way to much product and has overly shaped eyebrows and he finishes every statement with AWW PA-LEASE and that little awkward head shake vallygirls make. So really I bet he confuses overly done appearance with fabulous. Drama with the fact that he looks like a bitch. And that his being out happens to be the fact that he is more flaming than Chris Cracker.

This makes me sad.

I know some very fabulous "out" people that are distinctly drama-free.

I personally do not qualify as "fabulous", but my house is, if I do say so myself, rather fabulous. I prefer to think of it as a conduit for my inner fabulousness. As for drama, I don't have the wardrobe to pull it off, so I mostly avoid it.

As far as "out" goes, the only people who don't know I'm gay are the occassional lonely housewives whom I encounter during the course of my job.

Fnarf for the win @13.

The question should be: what will make you happy?
Posted by Will in Seattle on December 16, 2008 at 3:21 PM
24
Yeah, Non.

Why has every post over the last 2 days been from Dan? Love you Dan, but where is everyone? Did you kill them?

The first step to a fabulous drama free life is to stop using all caps. Then apply that same ethic to every other act. Of course, if you want a life that is FABULOUS rather than fabulous, you'll never be drama-free.

As someone who is neither gay nor fabulous, I say no.

@14: So either standing up, or on the kitchen floor, would be okay then? :D

Does the letter writer use air quotation marks when speaking? Especially "unnecessary" ones?

Fabulous, out, drama-free: choose two.
