During high school, my sister, mom, and I watched a lot of TV, often of the high-school-drama, teenage-angst-driven variety.  You know the ones I’m talking about.   Sobby music (or maybe pseudo-obscure indie music)  plays in the background while Susie and Steve looked longingly into each other’s eyes, trying to deal with the fact that Susie’s long lost triplet sister has just been killed in a freak overdose accident . . . you get the picture.  I might mock these shows mercilessly sometimes, but I really do love them.   Though I admitedly never really watched the show, my older sister and I got attached to the slogan for the ABC Family show Wildfire that aired with one of the original promos.  It goes something like this:  “This isn’t some high school drama, it’s my life!”  Thus the name for the blog.

Though I’m a little young to have watched old standards like Beverly Hills, 90210 or My So Called Life when they aired (The OC, One Tree Hill, and Gilmore Girls were my bread and butter), I absolutely adore the classics.  So for a treat, a great clip from My So Called Life:
