the rumor mill
Posted on | November 26, 2003 |
Apparently I had forgotten the full power of a small town rumor mill. Since leaving the small town where I grew up to move on to college, I had managed to distance myself from it. Of course in the last four or five years I’ve caught bits and pieces of my so-called life as figured by the rumor mill. However, I had forgotten the absolute hilarity that the small town rumor mill manages to create.
It all came rushing back as I sat at lunch with an old high school friend that I tracked down. I had not seen her since graduation and hadn’t spoken with her in over three years. So what have I been up to according to the rumor circuit? Well, it’s rather remarkable that I managed to finish college with a 4.0 GPA considering my drug addiction and tendencies towards extreme binge drinking.
What?!? Where do they come up with this? I didn’t stop laughing for quite some time after my friend told me the ‘news.’ I promise I will try to clean up my act.
