A lot of writing today. I went outside to take the trash out, and check the mailbox, and it was raining a little, which was nice. On the way to the trashbin, which is at the far end of our parking lot, it started to pour, which was also not bad, though it made me remember walking in the rain with Maggie, a friend of mine a few years ago, who was later revealed as a compulsive liar. I miss her. But I miss her from before I learned she'd been telling tales about yours truly.

In truth, I knew she had the liar thing; she told so many improbably stories; she had cancer; she was going through menopause early, becasue she'd gotten her period when she was so young; her son Simon (who I've never seen in person) stuck up for gay kids in school; Simon's father had a limb amputated...blah blah blah. It just didn't ring true. She also told me that she was pregant, by her friend Matt, who is gay. But I later learned that she told Matt & everyone else (who all lived far away from me, and weren't in contact with me on a regular basis) that I was the father, and that I'd impregnated her while having a 3some with her and another woman to boot!?! And some of them, ok, all of them, believed her!

Now, it's true that I've had sex with girls, and it's also true that I liked Maggie a lot, but not like that; the very idea of it...kind of grosses me out. I liked Maggie because she stayed in touch with me, and claimed to keep a good word in for me with Shawn Foreman & his...crew. lol I used the word crew. lol And the thing is, Shawn believed her. And he didn't stop talking to me, which is nice, but what if he had? This...is maybe why this lie really pissed me off - and I learned from Amber & Laurie that they had both been told the same story!?! Ugh. When I confronted Maggie about this she said they were all (all of them) lying about her. She was also telling me that she got fired from her job at Meijer because she missed a day of work because she has cancer! And also that she was engaged to a lovely man who proposed to her the night they met, and they just KNEW they were meant to be together. WHAT THE FUCK EVER!

I said goodbye to her that night, and told her that if she ever wanted to tell me the truth, that I'd understand, and she'd be forgiven on the spot, but she's never called me, and I don't expect her too, but I miss her.

Oh, and of course she "lost" the baby. Just as I predicted she would, because in truth, none of her gay male friends impregnated her.

But at least one of us walked with her in the rain, hand in hand, laughing, and enjoying our time with her.
