That was me to a freakin' "T" as well...the college I went to didn't have a very large black population, and for the most part every black student sought out other black students, joined black fraternities, hung out in the "black" areas of the campus...and then there was me. ...I was a loner, didn't join squat, didn't seek out anyone, just kept to myself, put my headphones on and did my art. I quickly got a reputation of being a snob because I would walk by the black students in the "black" hangout areas of campus without saying a word...of course I walked by the "white" areas and "jock" areas and even the "artists" areas without saying shit, either...lol ...It's just not me.

i think it's the best way to be. it keeps you out of trouble and away from those people who are always in your face.




which reminds me of something that happened today that pissed me off.


So i had an exam today and after the exam a group of us were standing around going over our answers because there really isn't much else to do after an exam.

and then this girl shoves her head RIGHT NEXT TO MINE and starts going on about some question on the test RIGHT IN MY EAR in her wicked loud ass voice. So i tried to move away so that she could get in the circle but apparently i wasn't moving fast enough because she was practically pushing me with her body.

she's not that bad of a person at all but i really hate having my personal space invaded like that. and i'm not too found of extra loud people.

so yeah...headphones on, eyes to the ground, head to the sky.

you can't figure it out?

JasmineFire said:

My way of thinking is probably A LOT different than yours. So I'd hate to assume anything.

luv4all7 said:

we're probably more alike than you think.

JasmineFire said:

How mature.

That I'm insensitive.

luv4all7 said:

?

i'm just answering your questions and responding to your incessant winking.

no need for attitude.

JasmineFire said:

Honey if I was comin' at ya with attitude, U'd know it.

And U never did answer my question. All that winking clouded your train of thought I guess.

At my last job, people thought I lived this hardcore, crazy life after I recounted a story about losing my cellphone while hanging around a bunch of potheads I didn't even like.

Every time I'd work a weekend shift, they'd be all "Oh, I bet you have something wild planned tonight!" and then, much later, I'd be sitting at home playing Zelda by myself.

at work, it alternates between.....
....being overly arrogant...which in my line of work, I have to have that element working overtime....its not an easy thing to bear the responsibility to give orders that may cause loss of life....and to come off weak is to doom your mission or worse, the lives of your own....
....and being too laid back and easy going...which encourages young troops to try to take liberties where none exist....its not a pretty site when that misconception gets corrected...

in the personal arena....that (in the words of my wife) I'm a "fucking" jerk, unapproachable....when in reality I'm really nice, playful and silly as hell...of course this leads to another misconception....that I'm a proactive flirt...when in reality I joke and clown, but I DON'T PLAY!!!

That I'm not going to be August's Male Org Hottie.

Which I am!

That I drink all the time. I hardly drink but when I do, I tend to get oblitterated.

luv4all7 said:

step off, please. you were coming with plenty of attitude and a side helping of cattiness, 'mkay. all i was doing was responding to the thread.

and to answer your question there really isn't an end to the sentence.


"if that's how you get by..." it just means if that's how you get by in life then that's how you get by in life. who is anyone to say anything about it except for you.

Think someone is dumb just because they're blonde is dumb in and of itself. But acting dumb because it's expected of you isn't all too bright either (not that i'm accusing you of doing specifically this...)

It would be like if I just started going out and drowning kittens and popping the balloons of small children just because people think that i'm "cold hearted"

I know who i am. and people who get to know me do, too.

(okay, that was a bit of a tangent)

JasmineFire said:

Yeah, um really, i don't have attitude or catiness, but that's fine if U want to think that. People who "get to know ME" know when I have attitude (and that wasn't it). No problem here!

Since this thread is about misconceptions, I'm gonna go out on a limb, and say that UR exactly the kind of person that doesn't "get me" in the first place.

Yeah, and if you weren't aiming the acting dumb comment towards me, then I don't understand why U would bring that up.
OOPS! Hope that's not me bein' to dumb 4 ya.

You asked me to "step off" so I will. Next time ya wanna aim your anger at "people like me" towards ME, come prepared.

that I hate children.....

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

I get that too.

Most people believe that because I am "nice" then that makes me weak. They think that I can easily be taken advantage of...this happens often and often the person who tries to do this finds out that I DO have a shit list and a Sharpie. Once they get on that list they will discover that I am not as "nice" as they think.

I smile a lot and I have a easy going demeanor...my husband just told me that it is perceived that I am a ditz because of that...not so. Smiling and not taking lots of things seriously does not mean I lack in any intelligence.

One more thing...I can cook. When said husband met me he didn't believe that I could boil water let alone make dinner. He told me that I was too cute to know how to cook. I guess I proved him wrong...

luv4all7 said:

I never called you dumb nor do i think that you are dumb.

you said that people think you are dumb and i asked you why and you said it was because you are a beautiful blonde who gets by on your looks. I think that people who think you are dumb because of that are the ones who are being dumb.

i DID NOT AIM MY ANGER AT YOU. you came to me. i didn't even respond to you first post.


you sound like the one who is angry and you are the one who is aiming your anger at me. if you want to hate me that is fine but bear in mind that it is a single sided hatred. i hold no hard or malicious feelings towards you.

of course i don't "get you" and i don't know you. for all i know you could have a PhD in bioengineering and also be a compentent knife fighter i don't know.

and you don't know me either, but you sure do seem to have a great deal of misconceptions about me (trying to stay on topic and all...)

and that scares me. seriously. step off. i don't want to fight.

Why is it that the people I love most hate each other? I am friends with many mortal enemies around here

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

Not talking about you, but I understand.

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

i'm trying to be cool. people are sensitive, i guess.

kidelrich said:

I've tried to bridge differences between folks but for the most part I've just had to deal with the fact that one friend hates my other friend

JasmineFire said:

If your talking about me that's another misconception. I'm not the least bit sensitive in the way of getting my feelings hurt easily.

Supa, I don't HATE anyone! U should know that.

Jasmine, I'm not talking about this thread. This happened a couple times now. But it's all good. And I'm not the only one who has noticed that U apparently have some sort of beef with me. That really sorta came out of no where.

I have love 4 EVERYONE, and have never HATED anyone in my life. I won't start now. But it is very OBVIOUS that U have some sort of problem with me. And it's cool. I get that a lot.

well maybe hate isn't the right word but this sure is:



and i've been in the middle of quite a few of those

I love Jasmine and I love Luv

SupaFunkyOrgangrinderSexy said:

I guess that I'm spoiled...I'm not really sure...maybe someone can help me out here.
