The Acropolis

So far today, I have listened to the latest round of rumors flying around about me, and they all seem to be coming from one person. Like the rumors that I was gay (oy), I requested that this round stop, too. There is a fine line with me that runs razor-like through two extremes: giving away all the information and shutting down that shop and putting up the walls in a paranoid frenzy. In recent history, I’ve expended a great amount of effort to tear down a lot of the walls and actually interact with my environment.

Unfortunately, one place that I still prefer to keep separate from my private life is my work life, if for purely financial reasons. I like to eat, and when one starts turning my preferred method of gaining access to food into a three ring circus or a High School rumor mill, I don’t appreciate it one bit. I get overly defensive, I get paranoid, and I shut down.

Then, the walls go up, the cannons get aimed, and a couple of warning shots are fired.

Some people need hobbies that don’t include me.
