a blank
When you're so blank you're not just doing something, you're making it a full-blown war between you and the universe.
I was eating cereal and I turned it into a full-blown battle. It was like I was fighting the entire universe for the last spoonful.
My friend tried to tell me a joke and I made it into a 3-hour debate about the meaning of life.
I was watching TV and I turned it into a full-blown drama. It was like I was on a soap opera and I was the main character.
