I have never written in a blog. I guess I have never assumed that people would care about what happens to me on a daily basis. For a class, however, I will make an exception.

My first profound and erudite observation has to do with the 5 classic causes of drama. Of course I don't have them handy, as a I am SO organized, but I think I can remember them.

Men and Women
Old and Young
Mortal and Immortal
Living and Dead
Individual and State

Okay, in truth, I had to look up the last two, but I did legitimately remember the first three, but I digress. The thought I want to relay is that there should be one more conflict. This should be between Brother and Sister (or sister and sister, as is in my case). I recently moved into a tiny one-bedroom apartment with my sister, and I would say she causes the second most drama in my life (not even close to the boyfriend drama, but still quite notable). Siblings have a very unique situation, as we are expected to love each other and get along, regardless of how we think (I am talking about my situation, as I am sure others have different experience in family life). Yes, it may be easier to get along with a sibling as you are forced to coexist with him or her for a time and are raised the same way, but there are many challenges associated with this assumed inherent friendship, which is especially present in siblings close in age, like my sister and I. Luckily we do sincerely like each other, but sometimes we have to force ourselves to get along, and I am willing to say a lot meaner things to her than I am to stranger, or even a close acquaintance. I don't feel the need to continue reinforcing my topic, so there you go.....post number one and a great one at that.
