Did you hear about Jaime?
Did you SEE her at the bar? She was wearing (gasp) leather pants!
I heard that she put herself through law school on the tips she earned working at a strip club.
She's sleeping with Brian.
She has a child with Brian.
She has another child with Joel.
She slapped Hunter across the face because he wanted to have a baby with her.
She has a baby with her roommate.
Oh...and while she's off being such a slut, she's engaged to someone else.
Going to law school is a lesson in reverting back to kindergarten... Other than study, all anyone seems to do is talk about each other. Maybe it's the stress. Maybe it was the boredom of going to school in a dinky little town where virtually everything but the bars shut down after dark. Maybe it's just because there was nothing else to do.
But those were actual rumors that went around the school about yours truly. Only one of them was actually true...can you guess which one?
I thought it was pretty entertaining that people seemingly were gullible enough to believe that I was somehow impregnated by my female roommate, grew a human inside me for 9 months and popped out a baby - all within the first month of school.
You'd think that people who graduated from high school, possessed a college degree and scored high enough on the LSAT to get into law school would be a little more...mature. You might also think that we grew out of that kind of juvenile nonsense after we graduated, passed the bar and became practicing attorneys. And if you believe that, I have a nice bridge I'd like to sell you...
These days, the gossip about me focuses on why I really left my job and what I'm doing with my life now. The thing I can't understand is why anyone is publicly speculating about any of this.
Can't people just mind their own fucking business? Why does it matter to any of them that I left my job? Or why it happened.
If they really have nothing better to do than idly speculate about me, maybe they need to get a new job...

Small minds - need something to talk about ... otherwise, they would have to look at their lives ... oh my, what a novel idea!!!
I've been the subject of the "jealousy" game ... no fun!!
oh its a way of not focusing on their own pathetic lives...leather pants, oh my...they must have gone to the church i did growing up...
Rumors have been around since the beginning of time. It's inescapable. As they say, simple minds dwell on simple things.
I'm a firm believer that what other people think of me is none of my business.
Hey sweets... No amount of education, or career status will prevent anyone from acting like a pompous ass... as proof, I will give you members of both political parties...
There were tons of rumors going around when I was divorcing... one or two of them were true... but it didn't matter. People are anxious to hear stuff... true or not.
... and oddly enough, that last statement by Matty makes a TON of sense!!!
Hahahahaha...
;o)

we used to refer to our law school as "[name of university] magnet middle school" because of all the silly, petty foolishness that went on. for most of law school i was outside of the target area, but then my marriage got miserable and i started blogging.
overnight, i was the subject of about nine thousand really exotic rumors. some were true; others were made up. it got to the point where someone forwarded my blog to an appellate court judge in that state to try to discredit me. it backfired twice on her: i didn't want to work there anyway, and the judge was horrified at the immaturity and the pettiness she showed.
all the intelligence in the universe doesn't fix immature or small-hearted. all you can do is laugh, laugh, laugh at them. they'll all get theirs in the end.
Becca: what? look at their OWN lives? now where's the fun in that?
brian: you picked the true one. that prompted me to see how gullible my classmates really were. and THAT led to them actually believing that i put myself through school working at night shift ;)
Matty: no corrupting my kid tomorrow with ideas that he should root for the phillies, okay?
shoes: hey babe. you're breaking me of all my delusions. i thought people in politics were pure as the driven snow.
Magnolia: a guy in the class ahead of me in law school made up a bunch of t-shirts in protest of something stupid he thought the school was doing... so i'm the proud owner of several "fisher price law center" shirts.
Good examplifying (no, that's not a dictionary-approved word) of the theme. Enjoyable read.
steve: lawyers make up their own words all the time... i kinda like yours, whether or not it's dictionary approved!
