Sorry. One of the biggest misconceptions that I have about myself is that I can get drunk, go online, and make jokes that don't make me look like an asshole

this one time i was making a bifilar electromagnet for a little science project. this magnet required that i unravel 116 feet worth of copper wire twice, spin the two lines together, then very slowly (it took over an hour) wrap the helical wires around a spool being very careful to get them aligned all nice and pretty. so being that my apartment couldn't have been more than 40 feet long, i took to the streets. i fixed one end to a parking meter (i lived down town) and walked 116 feet away, and began twisting. when i had about 2 feet left to get onto the spool, 4 police cruisers surrounded me, spotlights and everything and one with a bullhorn told me to drop whatever it was that i had in my hand. of course, i asked why. they said that they got a call from someone in a nearby apartment building who had spotted a terrorist rigging a bomb in the parking lot below. i wasn't exactly honoured... if i was going to blow something up, it wouldn't be a parking lot with a capacity of under 50 cars. now, i don't think it's a commonly held misconception/suspicion that i am a terrorist, but i thought it was worth mentioning.

I get too many questions about what college I attend, simply because I look younger than I am and don't wear paint-splashed, ripped jeans with work boots in the morning. As if these people actually think that the only things existing in the world are manual labor jobs and college.

also this seems to be a huge trend but men on the internet especially like to assume that even though I'm always like "I don't want romantic relationships, men are lame as hell I just want dick" that I don't really mean it and I'm ~underneath it all I just want to be loved~ but then they get all mad when theyre wrong

I'm just trying to be honest though?

We all want to be loved in some form or another, you just don't want to be wooed by some dude.

Yes because you know me so much better than I know myself

Nah... I'm from canada. This was about a week before the g20 summit took place in toronto. It was pretty funny... They cited "the current political climate" as a reason for worry. I asked them if a parking lot was a likely target in "times like these." I had them laughing at the absurdity of the situation a couple of times.

I think you're misunderstanding. Love doesn't have to come through romantic relationships, it can come from friends/family/pets/ect. I was just merely stating that you don't like being "wooed" by guys, and your post came off as "I don't liked to be loved" to me. I never claimed to "know you".

Romantic love is very different than platonic

I don't want romantic love
