Ths Gossip Chain
The Gossip Chain: an imaginary chain link between people who have several pieces of information (fictional or non fictional) that is passed from person to person through verbal communication. Now this chain has been running through the years. It has many forms; it's most common form is verbal word, however with the advancement of technology one can find it through live journals, my space, chartrooms, letters, classroom notes, lockers, telephone conversations and ease dropping. The most important fact in the chain is to remember bad news spreads faster!
When was it created? Not many know, perhaps when language was started...or was it created when women were forced to stay at home and strived for some form of communication and the gossip chain was the only possible form to spread news. In any event the gossip chain was formed. Now the gossip chain is a skill that all women possess (and some men who have hopped on the band wagon), however it’s very hard to master. One must learn how the chain works, how information spreads and of course “who can I tell that will spread the word further”. Now as in telephone the information will become diluted and changed as each person gets this information. This is known by any person involved in the chain, thus you must never presume that all that is told is truth. However knowing your connections is key.
The chain is important for causing mass drama, spreading good news and bad, as well as starting a major attack against an enemy. The gossip chain is used by those who want to find out information. For example someone asks a person (Jane we will say) well known in the gossip chain "Is Betty seeing Fred?" The question travels the chain until it finally reaches Betty who scoffs and replies "no" which then travels back to Jane who has gotten her answer with in hours of asking. The chain is full of answers and questions asked. The chain is also used by pussies. These are the people who cannot figure out the chain. These people have not yet mastered the chain and use it incorrectly causing mass drama and huge confusion. It ultimately upsets the chain and caused major communication pinches through out the cord. This happens when an inexperienced user vents or asks incorrect information to a gossiper. The news then travels and upsets many others thus causing a chain reaction of people being upset. The mob theory now takes place in the chain. This is when a mass amount of people all gang up on the inexperienced gossip starter. This leaves the inexperienced gossiper in a very upset state. Now if you’re an idiot you don't learn from experience, but many learn and take their next step on the gossip chain and become more experienced. Every one who has been on the gossip chain has experienced this reaction. If you are saying "that's never happened to me..." well then you haven't moved on to the next step now have you? *sigh* If this has happened to you more than 4 for 5 times get the fuck out of the chain, you are messing it up and eventually will be destroyed. Please save yourself.
People are made and destroyed by the gossip chain. One can have their complete reputation destroyed by a piece of information traveling through the chain. Someone can be made or noticed when put into the chain. For example "I heard Tim the Nerd has changed over the summer and got really hott". Thus making Tim the nerd to Tim the stud. (Cheesy example but I'm trying to keep it simple). The gossip chain is not to be toyed with. Those who have been using it use it wisely and carefully. They do not abuse it and take every piece of information they receive and put it to good use. It can be a problem creator or a problem solver. In any case it is a form of communication that requires experience and knowledge. The gossip chain has lasted many many years and will continue for many more to come.

So what is the big entry for?? Well after much drama I have given up. I am sick and tired of this bullshit. I'm not going to dance around the fucking flowers any fucking more. *I say this in desperation and sympathetically* I have talked to you Vanessa and you fucked that up. I told you and told you over and over again, I talked to you that night out of hope that this bullshit wouldn't have happened. I was hoping that I would have been able to talk to you as a person. And yet I find out through the gossip chain that you still didn't listen to me. I don't understand how I can talk to you. Thus I am trying this form of communication. I don't understand how you can feel this way and yet not say anything when I ask you what is wrong, I don't understand why you can't talk to me if something is bothering you. Yes, it goes same to me; accept I fear more of you getting scared and freaking out when I talk to you. Or what happned the other night where I feel everything is ok and its not because you tell me you understand and you don't. And when we do talk you simply avoid the fact that you have a problem with me. Instead I find out days later in the athletic training room who is friends with someone you vented to (who dosen't even live in the suite!). *I say this sympathetically not angrily* We Live in a suite with 5 girls do you honestly think that anything you say will stay a secret? I know from being in high school that there is no such thing as a secret. They can be kept for a while but eventually the cat gets let outta the bag. I am trying to fix things but you make it extremely difficult for me. I don't know any other way. I don't want mike to come and talk to me about it. I am sorry if I upset him the other night but I hope that you understand, I didn’t want to talk to him about anything because even if he had one beer it was purely out of respect. After one beer thoughts become blurred and I had no idea how many he had. He told me he had 7 beers and one shot, he told you 4, he told Laura he was shit faced. SO who am I to believe? I didn't want to talk to him about it and that was that. I am sorry if I made him upset but it was out of respect, I told him we could talk about it the next day and I got no word out of either you or mike. So I am asking you to talk to me about what’s wrong because no it’s not going to blow over. Vacation will only make it worse. And please do not let me find out from the gossip chain about your reaction to this. TALK TO ME ABOUT IT, WRITE TO ME ABOUT IT, ANYTHING. Please.
Otherwise my life is same old same old. I studied last night for a while, and then watched Gladiator with Dan and Laura. I talked to Suzie last night and we brought back old memories (good and bad) and then fras called me drunk. It was funny. She always makes me laugh when she's drunk. My day has been overall uneventful. We shall wait and see what the sunset brings. Good day all.
