I've never considered myself paranoid, but then I got to thinking. People can get hurt when I think, but it's a hard habit to break. At any rate, someone complimented me on a piece of persuasive writing I did. This puzzled me, because any teacher I've ever had has said that I need to work on this area. Then I thought that maybe all my teachers work for different governments and are trying to keep me from discovering I'm good at convincing people and don't want me to use it for the USA. Of course, then I thought that if I was worth all this trouble, I must be really good at it and they would want me to work for them. Then I remembered that I had to write a patriotic essay last week, and maybe they were testing me to see if I really cared about what country I worked for before they made their move. I stopped thinking about this when it started to make sense.
