It was bound to happen eventually...

General
One more day in my life.
So, here I am, doing some more rumor control. They do seem to spawn after cons a lot like creepers at night. And lo and behold... Some were actually right for a change.
1. Wielder has panic attacks. Reality: this one is actually true. 100%. I am prone to anxiety or panic attacks. I have been able to keep them under control for the most part, but every once in a while I just can't keep them under wraps and stress. The tornado at MFM understandably caused one back in Sept of 2012. But I did have one at furry Fiesta this past weekend.
2. Wielder freaked out at Furry Fiesta. Reality: this is part of number 1. I had a panic attack when my mate learned that furry communication can be dangerous. My mate was looking for me. He told a fur we mutually knew that he was looking for me and that fur in turn told another fur that knew us. By the time it found me... It changed from my mate was looking for me to "he's looking for you and it's very important, urgent!" Which inadvertently triggered a panic attack.
Now let me explain, normally I wouldn't get triggered by such simple things, but I was I'll and exhausted, which makes it easier for that to happen.
3. Wielder was hardly at the con. Reality: I was fairly reclusive the time I was there. I wasn't hiding though I spent a lot of time in the corral and moving about. So I was there and not hiding in my room.
So lo and behold... Three rumors that actually got it right. For now... I figure they'll snowball in a few weeks and they'll go crazy, but for now they are right.
Now there were a couple that came to me that are of course not so accurate...
1. Wielder is a slut. He had his husband go to In and Out for burgers and brought two guys back to his room to do a sword fight in his mouth. Reality: first... This one is SO specific that I think it may have been deliberately started by someone who doesn't like me and the phrasing gives me a few suspects. Not many people use the term sword fight like that. It didn't happen. I was not feeling good the whole weekend and all I accomplished was late night snuggling with my husband. Also... This. Rumor is specific in time too... When asked sources all say the rumor says it happened roughly 6ish to 7. On sat. Which makes sense as that would be when we'd have dinner. And it had to have been sat, as we didn't arrive until after 7 fri and left by 2 sun. However anyone who wants to look up the schedule... Or even better, all the people who were there can testify that at that time I was busy doing my show. So there seems to be some real hatred behind this one. So far the three people who approached me about this rumor didn't believe it but wanted me to know about it.
2. Wielder got drunk and threw up on a raccoon fursuiter. Reality. Don't drink. Never been drunk. Never threw up on a fursuit. I think this may be a case of mistaken identity... Unless there is a new Wielder going around.
There were others... But they seemed to be more in fun and jest. Kind of like people who know about rumors and me and were having fun. They actually gave me some good laughs, but these seemed the ones that needed to be addressed.
Oh... And the last one... Yes I did beat The Game. :)

Wielder got drunk and threw up
Wielder got drunk
Wielder, drunk
Wielder, ...drunk...
...what?
Pathetic.
Hope to see you at MFM '13 - and, Gods willing, without tornado.
Also, since there is (or at least has been...I forget if he left the fandom or not) another Wielder of note in the fandom, how many of these rumors do you think may be about that other Wielder?
As for the The game. The way to win is simple. But more difficult to explain in full form. Basically "the Game" is not actually a Game at all. In the defintion of what a game is "the game" is not A game. So if you study it and look at it, you will see that it is in fact a logical paradox, or a logic puzzle. Shorthand version, apply some lateral thinking. There are no rules that do not say you cannot change the rules. So you add Rule #4. Once you are aware that the "the game" is not a game, you may announce that you won the game.
BTW, other people have changed the rules of "the game" before. Adding time limits or other things. So technically it is a valid option.
Well better than my rumors I got from FWa last year, that I had unprotected sex with an HIV+ person .... Yeah, deeps all around on who ever came up with that load. I'd have to actually get sex to be able to deep that hard, and even then I'd have to be stupid not to ask, and not to wear a condom anyways.(btw yes I wear them even if you show papers, just easier to clean for me)
Oh well :p
Least the rumors were easier to shoot down this con huh?
and you swordfighting ? and drinking ? LOL you should make a group for weilders rumor controll 101 its comedy here.
On a side note, I do wonder if you are hiding, though. I haven't heard from you in ages.
Basically, I'm still social, but I get exhausted pretty easy lately. Taking steps to change that and there has been improvement.
