My activities here, and in particular, this thread, were made light of to former classmates (now peers in my profession and colleagues) in a bar by a former classmate who stumbled across me here. I'm afraid of my reputation as a female professional being scarred... though, I think if he wises up, he'll discover he's doing as much damage to himself by proving himself to be untrusty worthy of being a secret holder... or even just being someone with whom you might drop your guard down. His talking about me in this way only proves to others how untrustworthy he is with their own private lives and thoughts. I had thought of him as a friend, now I see him only as someone who seeks gossip to ellivate his "coolness"
A friend and colleague has soothed some of my fears but I'm afraid I'm still very nervous about the entire thing. I doubt he thought of his gossip as outting me. I'm sure he only thought of the sensational attention it would get him when he showed the quiet moody and boring loner that i was to be a rather wicked individual. I'm not sure much of anyone will believe him. That's my sole consolation. Unless he linked him here... in which case, if you're reading this. hold your tongue you scroungy bitches. LEst you tarnish your own good name.
