My personality is a lot like a dog's. I like to eat, hump, play and occasionally sniff people's bums. Aside from my oft-obscure intellectual interests I am a simple, friendly thing that shoots from the hip and has to constantly remind myself that people can be manipulative.
I've seen enough of them though, and know how damaging they can be. Myself, I was conjectured to be a witch when I was in junior high who was rumored to start bibles on fire with my eyes. They'd make cross signs at me in the halls and one weird Fundamentalist chick would throw holy water at me...thinking I'd melt or something... They actually believed I was a magical being that could suspend the laws of physics and cause things to set on fire...wow...pretty fucking cool when I look at it that way....
There are 2 types of rumors, one is tactical; as in, "To either fuck you over or help myself, I'm going to spread shit about you that I don't know is true or not." This is a malicious, intentional type of manipulation intended to cause harm. Not awesome or rad in any way.
The other is more of a "Stuff out of mouth" rumors which are the proverbial feathers cast to the wind gossip. Often times this is how the original malicious bit of gossip takes hold and grows. Even if the original fuck-over rumor is proven false, the "stuff out of mouth" has already taken hold of the wind and spread too far to ever bring back. It's the "Rod Stewart had a lb of spunk pumped out of his stomach" rumor, here to stay forever.
It's also done all the time, everywhere, in families, at work, and on this weird new semi-reality which can seem more real than actual reality thing called the internet.
I'm only thinking about this because a lady (hotness and coolness this woman...wow) on here sent me a text about how I forgot to invite people to my party and I was all like huh??? Of course everyone can come to my parties, especially total sweethearts.
Anyways, it made me think about how all of us, especially SPs, who have a really good portion of society against us anyways ( it is society that is wrong, but that's the reality) should stick together and help each other at least by being cool and supporting each other.
Be nice. I know it's a controversial position, but there you have it.
