In fairness, no one liked that game very much.
That I am 28, people assume I am younger, I was in the military, I took martial arts for several years, I have tried to kill myself and nearly suceeded, that I have never been married, never had a relationship longer than 2 months, and that for one aggonizing period of time, I went nearly 10 years without having sex (was 3 months shy).
I am full of surprises. 
People are always amazed when I swear. I think it’s really funny, because at home, I swear like a drunken sailor. Practically every other word out of my mouth is fck or Sht. (well, not really, but I do swear a lot at home). However, at work, I almost NEVER swear. I try very hard to always portray a professional, even demeanor at work. I actually had SEVERAL say “I can’t believe you just said ASS” to me. I don’t know why they think that I’m some perfect little angel, but it’s pretty funny when I do swear, even a bit, and see the reactions.
Me, too. “I can’t believe you just said ‘crap’!!!” I swear at home when the parents aren’t around because they get mad at me when I do and at school, I don’t swear at all because it’s a Christian school…self-explanatory.
People are also stupefied when I tell them that when I’m 18, my birthday present to myself will be getting a lip ring. They say, “But, you’re such a good girl! Why do you do want to do that??”
I must look really clean-cut to them or something.
It doesn’t happen very often, but people always comment whenever I separate my tail in order to flee from a predator.
To be honest, if I was the predator, and you were my prey, that would startle the hell out of me.
that i’m about 10 years older than they think i am
cool. singing? playing in a band? stand up comedy? a combination of all 3?
I’m sending you the bill for a new keyboard! :D:D:D:D
(you also made my startle my kitty - she was on my lap at the time)
I’m fairly certain that was nature’s intent, dear. 
Yes, but I don’t go by Large Marge in real life, so I’m afraid that doesn’t explain it. 
People assume I’m a sweet little 18 year old church-goer goody-goody two shoes who couldn’t hurt a fly.
They’re shocked to discover I’m a 24 year old atheist who luuurves to give the bjs, thinks rats are cuuute, and has a brown belt in Tang So Do. They also can’t seem to believe I gained 30 lbs since high school.
Um, no. I am a bit of a tomboy, but no flannel, no Docs. I do have short hair, but it’s flippy at the bottom and rather girly…\ And I’ve been told my apartment is very girly, too.
But again, there are plenty of lesbians who have long hair, wear dresses and have long hot-pink manicured fingernails, so that makes the judgment even more annoying.
When most people see me, they think im nothing but a short jewish girl who loves books, anime, and fish (my dorm room has a ten gallon tank and a six gallon).
On the other hand, I listen to Industrial music, I have 6 gauge ears, I already have my tattoos planned out, I would have a motorcycle right now if I could afford the insurance, and I am a masochist.
Kinda freaks the straight laced kids out!
Actually, I perform weddings ceremonies, even though I’m not particularly (or at all) religious. The bride & groom couldn’t care less (Japan’s less than 1% Christian), they just want a Hollywood-style ceremony with a foreign minister.
Exactly what I was going to say.
That I love meat - I am a huge fan of red meat, the redder, the better. A lot of people have been downright shocked when they see me eating meat because they thought I was vegetarian.
That I’m innocent/naive - I can be naive about some things, but I’ve been on the internet checking out dirty websites for at least 10 years now and almost nothing shocks me anymore. I know more about fetishes than most people and I have a very dirty mind. My porn collection is bigger than that of most straight males I know have.
That I’m a girly girl - now that I’ve started dressing and looking more like a woman (used to mostly wear boy’s clothing) people start expecting me to be more of a woman. I grew up with 6 brothers and have always been tomboyish to the point where I used to refuse to wear skirts unless I had boxers on underneath. I love video games and guns and I cuss like a sailor.
That I have a tattoo.
I lived a hippy livestyle for many years, and I suppose I now look like a short-haired hippy. People are often shocked when they find out that I am a former U.S. Army Military Policeman.
Ditto to that. While I’m not a practicing Jew and wasn’t exactly raised with religion in mind, people still look at me sideways when I say I’m going down to Grandma’s for Rosh Hashanah. Mom’s family is mostly Irish and Scottish, and that’s the stuff that showed up when I was born.
People are often surprised at how old I am, as well, though I don’t think I look much younger than I am. I casually mentioned to someone the other day that I was less than three months away from 30, and they looked at me like I was crazy.
There are also many people who are surprised I’m not a lesbian. I think it’s less because I look like one and more because most of my friends are gay and look it. When you’re standing in line for an Ani DiFranco concert with a bunch of other women with short spiky hair and flannel shirts, it doesn’t matter if you’re wearing makeup and heels–everyone simply assumes you’re just not the butch.
Cow-orkers are often surprised that I a) went to a music college, b) used to do quite a bit of stage acting in high school, c) used to run and perform in a Rocky Horror Picture Show cast, and d) tend to swear like a dockworker when I think I’m unobserved.
