so, there's a lovely rumor going around in which someone is trying very hard to out me - strangely though, it's based on total bullsh*t. How ironic, a completely true rumor based on something completely baseless. I'm just going to ride this out and see what happens, most people will dismiss it as ridiculous. And then I'll continue to refrain from confronting this woman who is most responsible for this nonsense - although, I'm not entirely confident that I 'm going to be able to do that b/c I'm so pissed at her and her hypocrisy and I do HATE hypocrisy above almost all else.

anyway, on to brighter things, had a parent teacher conference this morning and the verdict? The Divine Miss M is freakishly smart. *big, big smile*

In a not so lovely discussion with my mother recently, she was curious (to put it nicely) as to why I didn't feel comfortable telling people that I'm gay (again, phrasing that much nicer than she did) and was completely baffled when i mentioned anything connected with my job or losing my dad, etc. How is it that none of this seriously never occurs to straight people? I don't get that. Martha wasn't surprised . . . she said that straight people often think that when people come out they make everything about being gay but they just don't realize the lack of protection and the detrimental consequences . . . and that made sense. I would, undoubtedly, lose my job if this were to come to light . . . my boss is quite homophobic and also more than a little preoccupied with image - and here, smack in the middle of the bible belt, gay is far, far from synonymous with good image.
