Something no one would guess...

At age 16, I was mistaken for being a university student.

Might have been the beard.

I felt insulted when one of the places I applied to wanted to see a copy of my high school diploma.

I was like thinking in my head "WTF, you think I lie on my resume !?!?" , considering nobody has ever asked to see it. Do you think I keep 8 year old paperwork handy? Geez even for tax purposes that's beyond caring.

However I did like the interviews that wanted an assesment done, wether I failed it or not. The two temp agencies, geeksquad, and JP morgan chase all had assessments. One temp agency gauged grammer and spelling, where as the other one simply gauged proficiency with ms word and excel.

I just thought of two more interesting tidbits:

*I think it's sexy when women wear men's clothing.
*My right leg is 1.5 in. shorter than my left. I'm not sure if that is unusual, but I just noticed it last month.
*I'm 19, but I'm mistaken for 25 a lot. Usually when I haven't shaved for a while.

Do you walk in circles a lot?

* I tend to smile/laugh when I tell an enormous lie. THe wife caught on after she was warned by my Mother.
* I look young, too. About -9 years, last time I checked.

Something also you'd never guess about me...I am a bum man.

Add me to that. In high school, I always got "Really? I thought you were a Freshman/Junior/Sophmore/Whatever was a grade below me at the time"

Lucky. Ever since freshman year in high school, everyone thinks I'm at least 5 years older than I am. That may be in part because of my A-type personality, though.

People think I'm anywhere from 24 to 26 lately.

When I was 24, I got IDed for R rated movie.

Guess it helps I don't smoke and gave up drinking ages ago.

No one thinks I'm 17 years old. It's always either 14, or 12. Once, while volunteering at the age of 16, a nice old lady thought I was nine.

Same here ... except that if you smile at me while I'm telling the truth, I'll still crack up, and then you can blame me for whatever you want. (People take advantage of this ALL THE TIME.

I do something silimar to the smiling while lying thing. Well, I guess it's not really simliar, but who cares. I sure don't.

Anyway, I have a really hard time letting go of bad memories. Sometimes, I'll just be sitting there, and one of those memories will hit me, and I'll make odd noises while trying to forget about it.
