Look at all these rumors...surrounding me everyday....

I'm on the road right now....somewhere in the darkness between Texas and New Mexico...it's been lovely, even soul cleansing to breathe in air that actually soothes my mind. I initially hesitated when first asked to take the trip, but for some reason New Orleans beckoned to me. So here I am riding w/ a man that makes me feel like a queen...he revels in my beauty when I'm too misguided to see for myself. I didn't realize I'd be able to let myself become involved with another man so soon in my heartache...but god thru life allows amazing things to occur when we least expect it! So imagine how I felt when he advised me we had a mutual friend in common...or more like he has a friend that knows of me...from the moment he mentioned it to me I was uneasy...I looked at this person's page and didn't recognize her at all...so...being the curious george I am, I began to probe him further. After a full interogation and a long uncomfortable silence he revealed the details of a conversation that literally rocked my world. He went on to explain this woman told him I was promiscious and I had tested positive for HIV...WHOOOA.... Now, I am NOT hiv positive... but what disturbed me even more is the audacity of someone to even say something like this...something so hurtful and sick.... this isn't high school people... a rumor in this capacity could certainly devastate a person's life! I am furious! I contacted this woman directly becaused rumors need to be squashed at the source... I am also considering sueing her ass for defamation of character. I can't believe there are grown ass women still so bitter and envious of others , that they'd stoop to such low levels in the attemp to get a man... funny part is I was just tested for HIV about a month and I'm able to put the nasty rumor to rest...in her hopes of keeping this man from me, she actually pushed him closer to me... I can't wait to get home. peace
