this leaves a bad taste in my mouth
May. 24th, 2010 07:19 amI got a call last night from Ol'crusty he wanted to let me know that everything he says is a lie...Why did this come up?
After mass yesterday I gave him an edited version of his first article so he could go over it for typos I might have missed. He told me and Lan that a friend of his had put the article up on the net and he'd already received responses for it, none of them good.
This didn't strike me as odd, Ol'crusty's opinions blunt as they are, are also on the minority side of world views. He said that one of the responses a man had said that after reading Ol'crusty's article he was ashamed to be human. I found this funny as I've been ashamed to be human for many years now--hence the reason I've decided I'm a kitty--but not for anything Ol'crusty has said.
I already figured that Ol'crusty liked to spin tails, but the way he told Lan and I about this sounded 100% legit. So he calls to tell me that this was all a lie and that I'm not to trust anything he says to me....
Okay, so why am I even talking with you? I realize that may sound a little extreme and I intend to speak to him about this on Tuesday rather than not say anything at all. But I can't help but feel considering what he said last night, that he's been leading me on about everything [ie the articles] all for a good laugh. And if those are legit, how the hell am I supposed to know what isn't?
I know because of the Asperger's I can have a hard time picking up on what might be a joking tall tale--especially if the person telling it is very good--but the fact that Lan also believed he was telling the truth leaves me wondering how on earth I'll ever be able to tell the difference?
