cormac: headshot of me, with a subliminal message (opinion)

I got married?!

So I show up to Kaleidoscope on Saturday, around 8 or so, and within 20 minutes Jeff (my former boss's boss, and director of Student Life) calls out to me, congratulating me. At first I think he's talking about my upcoming graduation, but it eventually comes out that he's heard I got married. As I go to correct him, it seems like every SCA person there perked up their ears, and started a barrage of "You got married? When did you get married? When was the wedding? Why wasn't I invited? When were you going to tell us?"

[livejournal.com profile] mysryael and I have yet to track down the source of this rumor, but we were not amused (at first). SCA-folk, listen up: I am not, nor have I ever been, married. I'm not even engaged. If you hear this rumor running about, find out who your source heard it from, and please let either [livejournal.com profile] mysryael or I know. Seriously, people. I'm one of the loudest heralds in the kingdom, possibly the loudest, now that Njall's moved. If anything that huge happens, everyone will be the first to hear it.

*kicks the SCA rumor mill*

Kaleidoscope redux coming soon.

Oh for pity's sake. As I said on Herself's LJ, if we had as much fun as our rumoured selves had, we would have time for nothing else.

Since Jeff said it first and not someone from SCA, at least it does not seem to have originated in SCA. Logical maybe?

Would that that were the case. He heard it from Ceridwen Killian, and spread it throughout Student Services. This has apparantly been circulating through the SCA circles for a while.

small correction

The specific rumor that we have been hearing is that He and I are engaged. I think I know where it started and we are ignoring it with
as much dignity as we can muster.

Just laugh it off. I can't tell you how times I have been pregnant according to gossip train. I should have at least 5 kids by now :)

Oh at this point, we are laughing it off.

The rest of the day was wonderful, and I got
to see Cormac at his very best.

Oh, yeah. I was dying of cancer-- 20 years ago.

Hi, Cormac!

Hey I remember stories about that....

Of course, I have been 1. Banished, 2. Dying of High Blood Pressure, 3. Arrested (never did find out what I was arrested for) and
4. Accused of a hit and run.

People who are bored have nothing better to do than to create things and then float them as if they were real. They can be a great deal of fun though.

Amusingly enough, I just read the word you had posted, "it eventually comes out that he's heard I got married." Just reading that much made me think, "What the?" Oh rumors are so amusing. But where on Earth did that one come from?

As someone who has been the brunt of various rumors for decades. you have my sympathies. At least yours was amusing...after a fashion. One of these days I will have to bore you with some of the more amusing rumors I have implicated in.(the porn star is my personal favorite).

Till anon,

A friend of mine recently had to stop the spreading of rumors that his dad had died... after he called up his dad to make sure they were rumors... apparently one of his younger brothers started it spreading because there is a state mandated one week paid greivance policy in wherever it was and he wanted some time off...

LOL! Don't feel bad. I met up with some old friends from high school on myspace. Apparently there was a rumor that I got married and have a kid. It gets better-somebody actually passed around a picture of my supposed kid. I believe that the responsible party was my freshmen year boyfriend.
What really blew my mind was that anyone thought I would give that idiot a picture my offspring. Yuck.

We get bored at work (I work in a very mundane office) so we make stuff up about each other. Nothing has ever gotten back to us ::shrug:: but it amuses us.
