Now that it's died down a little, I want to take my previous question to another level.

Who aren't you? What are misconceptions, misunderstandings, and false impressions that you find people have of you? Perhaps more importantly, who do you strive to avoid being/becoming?

Kafke:

I'm not a twin. Seriously. Just because I'm in the same classes as my brother, am around the same height, and tend to be in the same places does not mean we are twins. The actual explanation is that I took college classes in high school as well as graduated a year early. This allows me to be at the same place education wise as my older brother. Is that so hard to understand? I seriously have people refer to me and my bro as "the twins".

On a more personal level, I'm not cold/harsh, asexual, or gay. I don't get why some people think this, but they do. Just because I'm not clammering to get into a relationship doesn't mean that I'm not interested. It's just most people I can tell I wouldn't be able to stand.

Also, I'm not smart. At least, I don't consider myself smart. I've met lots of smart people. I don't feel like a quite fit in with them. Then again, I don't feel like I quite fit in anywhere. I can just think and use google. That's gotten me farther in life than I can believe.

And finally, who do I strive to avoid being/becoming? Someone who's "content". I see people just doing their daily thing, and just being "okay". I look around and see everyone in what looks to me like hell. Doing the same things day in and day out. Stuck in the grind. Then I see the heroes of anime and there they are, pushing for a goal, striving to become something. anything. And then they accomplish it. That's who I strive to be.
