    *i'm innocent and/or sweet.
    *i'm nice
    *i'm a lightweight
    *i can't kick your *kitten*
    *i speak spanish
    *i'm "too young"

    these are all incorrect.

    Fist bump for hispanics who don't speak spanish!

    At least you look it. I tell people I'm Cuban and they think I'm lying.

    awww yeah!!!! puerto rican and my spanish is moderate at best...i used to be damn near fluent, but lack of use has erased most of my vocab. i can understand most of it though

    How about not thinking I am who I say I am. ALL THE DAMN TIME.

    Yes, I have an Asian last name. Yes it is really my name. Yes, I am very aware that I am NOT Asian. However, could it be possible that I married an Asian man??

    At the DMV the woman called my name and when I walked up to her she said, "Wait in line, I am waiting for the person I called"
    Hello b*tch. That was ME.

    Try being 8 months pregnant with twins, sitting in the hospital and having the d*mn dietary people walk out with your food while saying "Sorry, I was looking for Michelle Yu"......
    :( Please. Come back.


    Hehe...

    The biggest misconception I get, is that people think i'm lazy or will sweat gravy or something if i'm pushed.

    I work as an operations trainer at an oil upgrader. There are many different levels of the upgrader, many stairs, and generally a lot of ground to cover. I usually get kids right out of college to train, and generally for the first few weeks, most have trouble keeping up with me. They usually come to the opinion that I should have been a linebacker or something lol.

    Everyone assumes I am nice.

    Dumb judgers of books by their covers get what they deserve.

    You are one of those people whose comments I stop and read when I'm scanning through a page because I dig how not nice your words are.

    People also assume I am totally anglo-saxon, due to the blonde hair and blue eyes, but my mother's family are from all over, everyone thinks she's Native American or North African, people think my oldest son is Asian as he's dark skinned, black eyes and has Mongolian blue spot. My generation are the freaky blonde ones!

    Lol!!! "Sweat gravy".... Oh man. You'd get chased by dogs.


    Um... People probably think I'm critical, but I'm mostly just fiercely critical of myself. Also, I'm a total chatterbox unless I am talking to you about something work related or something specific. I'm not particularly interested in wading through twenty minutes of small talk to get to the point. Once that's done, I will happily talk and talk and talk at you until your ears bleed or fall off and you run screaming in the other direction. But for now, can we pretty please focus on the matter at hand?
    Also, my father in law has in his head that, being from a small prairie town, I must be some uneducated hick. I like to keep him thinking that sometimes, but that's just my ironic sense of humor that few people understand.

    That I'm too serious...just because I prefer to act professional at work and do my job as efficiently as possible.
    That I'm in my mid-20s...my children are 18, explain the math.
    That I must be married to a Mexican because I'm white and my Spanish is so good...Never been married, and while my current boyfriend happens to be Mexican, he is the first.
    That I have money...I'm a teacher, enough said.

    And the list can go on and on indefinitely

    That there's no way I'm a lesbian.

    That one always gets me.

    "YOU'RE a lesbian? But you wear make-up!"

    Welcome to 2011 people. Lesbians can be pretty and date other pretty girls as well.

    I date girls that wear makeup, and girls that are butch.. (and guys, too).
    My gay, lesbian & bi friends call me the Hag-Stag b/c I never bring my gf around them. I wouldn't want to b/c I know how most gay/les communities are.. They date each others' exes.

    To Sweetly_n_INnocent - don't think you look/are too sweet to ever have been in a fight. With what I have learned about you I imagine you have been in plenty...

    people get surprised when I say I don't have a girlfriend
    and people assume I'm scared to throw down because I'm a pacifist and don't argue not even with family...

    That my boobs are fake... My response to that is, "If they were, I'd need to sue the doctor for not making them the same size!!!"
