Misconceptions

I will often notice when people have a skewed perception of me. Sometimes, they are convinced my name is Anne. Sometimes they are absolutely sure of my taste in movies. Sometimes they think I like tea. I am none of these things (I don't even know my own taste in movies). But I really don't care enough to set people straight because they are usually just acquaintences and it ultimately doesn't matter.

Tonight, someone was absolutely convinced that I am a religious type. This usually catches my attention in a more cranky way. Due to my various back-story life things, I had to decide at very young age my stance on religion. In my opinion, no one should have to decide before eight where they stand. This is a whole different rant of mine because I was not given that luxury. Anyway, I knew my stance before I had the name for it. And, no, agnostics are not atheists and are not devil worshippers, no matter what I heard in elementary, junior and high schools. Again, a whole different rant.

I do tend to get overly pissy about this. Though, since I don't talk about it much, it may not be obvious to the casual observer. I'm on my own little adventure and other people are on theirs. Anyway, this person was assuming things and it skewed the whole conversation and evening. As she is on her little adventure, I didn't know how to correct her without drama. And so she continued. And now I rant. And I still don't like tea.

Moral of today's story: when in doubt, whine or meow REALLY LOUD!!
