'Ey, 'ey, 'ey, you be implyin' I'm miserable? I derive too much pleasure in being a ninja to be unhappy!

I live in such relative isolation, in all honesty it probably wouldn't matter much if everyone knew.
But then it hasn't been a positive experience in telling my closest social contact, my own cousin who lives right here in town. I often find myself regretting having told her. It's definitely strained our relationship. It's taught me to be guarded about who I tell what to, although my own brother took it quite well.
