Biggest misunderstanding about you?

I'm not really sure what people misunderstand about me..

though it does seem like a few people here think I'm rich/my parents are, which is just not the case :p
 
Everything is better when you're in your 20's. You can drink, and drive, and vote. (Not at the same time alas)

I don't drink, I can't drive and I've only needed to vote a few times in the last decade. I'll still settle for not zonking out by midnight! :)

I've formed a couple of impressions about you, but I'm not entirely sure that they're misunderstandings!
 
People around already know that I'm a complainer. To be honest, I'm not. Not many know that I'm making considerable changes to my life.

That I'm kind and smart. I'm not. Meet me on a bad day; I'll be either the most depressed wreck you've ever seen or extremely nasty and abusive.
I have to say, you can be a bit rough on the edges to other people. But I suspect that's your depression. I do hope you do feel better :).

I will still miss your presence in DYOS 12 and future installments.

There are actually some things I am knowledgable about, they're just rarely discussed on these forums, which is why you are free to think I'm an unawaringly blabbering idiot.
I don't know, I only know you for your participation in DYOS. To be honest, do kind of miss your presence :).

What are they? :p
 
Given that I am teribly un-photogenic, I am probably the last person who should be pointing out unflattering photos, but you don't exactly appear to be terribly masculine in your photos. I get a distinctly androgynous vibe from them. (That doesn't answer the question at all, I realise.)
 
What a thing to say to anyone! Pay no attention, Mr Z. Your photos are fine. Trust me, I'm an expert.

(In any case there's nothing wrong with an androgynous look, anyway. Even if you had one. Which you don't.)
 
Most people only look bad in their passport photos; I have the unusual privilege of looking goofy in all my photos!
 
Yes. I feel the same way. In fact, I don't really do photos or photography at all. I'm always amazed by people who seem to spend nearly their entire holidays taking pictures instead of enjoying themselves. Though I'm always happy to look at their snaps for them.
 
Hmm. Probably that I am a drunk angry Australian. I'm actually an occasionally drunk and sometimes angry Australian.

When you said photos, I thought you were going to mention that Zelet and Mango are DL's :lol:
 
You mean that they're not? I thought it was the CFC elephant that we all politely stepped around. :lol:
 
Are they? They appear to post in very different styles. That would take some talent for one person.

(Unless I don't understand what DL's are.)
 
I don't think there are any misunderstandings fundamentally about my character on these boards that I have a problem with. It gets annoying when people associate me with welshophile or anglophile-ness. But those assumptions are completely understandable given the username and given the fact that I was those things at one point in time. Other than that, I can't really think of any assumptions about my character that aren't totally justified (or so irrelevant as to not even really be worth mentioning).

I think your posts and historical knowledge get unfortunately overshadowed. I think that your remarks on how to be social are occassionally unfairly seen as being a dick. Sometimes it's deserved :p

(usually it's neither, just cool)

That I'm a nice, tolerant, "acceptable" conservative. I'm really not. I get just as mean and y as my counterparts on the left, if not more so, and I don't have a lot of patience for some of the views they hold. Oh, I fervently believe in their right to hold those views and opinions, but I certainly don't have to respect them.

Yep, the days of winning friendliest person in my senior class are many decades behind me.

No we know that, but we respect that you are a genuine charitable person and so we can disagree greatly on many issues, without letting the divide make us political enemies. This is the difference between you and many conservatives who aren't even as conservative!

Your just a drone plugged into the Dachs Hivemind. Oh and thats not a misunderstanding thats the truth :D

I think that's another Owen misconception ;)

Probably none of you understand how I actually feel about USA #1.
Let's hear!
 
Easily misled people think I'm Romanian. They don't seem to be getting the joke.

Awww. Don't feel bad. I think you have a horrific machismo complex.
 
Most everything I post people misunderstand. I think they finally stopped asking me what I meant about 3 months after I came to OT and just put me on ignore.
