Basic idea is, just name some things people wouldn't think you would do, enjoy, or have experienced, ill start
 _ _ _ _ 01. Although everyone knows i love metal, they don't expect me to like Opera, and to have been to a few Opera concerts, such as Hamlet, King Arthur, that kinda stuff. Same goes with my eternal love of Blues and Jazz. 02. People don't expect me to be a "Science Geek", or someone who likes to learn about how the universe works, space, stars, solar systems that kinda stuff. 03. People are dumbfounded when they find out i love reading books, Horror, Sci-Fi and Fantasy especially. 04. No one knows that i can build a computer from scratch and take them apart. Install new hardware, software, and i have a decent understanding of HTML Code. (until i have to do it on there computer) 05. People don't expect me to be an Art Enthusiast. 06. People don't know that a really good movie, Book, or piece of music will bring a tear to my eye, my guy friends think its not "Man-Like"  , my chick friends like though._ _ _ _ _ So, whats yours GMC?? PS Dont tell us if your an international terrorrists or if your Jimmy Hoffa or something

I don't think most people expect me to be a guitarist, due to my getting of strait A's, and taking all AP classes possible. Also I don't think I'm a motorcycle enthusiast and love to ride on-road cruises and sport bikes.

1.People don't expect me to be a mama's boy even though I'm a metal head
2.Alot of people get confused when I tell them I'm into philosophy, and concepts that make you think 3.Expect me to be really dumb, even though I'm not I still act like I am. (just to cath em' off guard  )

People dont expect me to be human, they seem to have a preconcieved notion about what I'm going to be like before they even know me. Generally the first 10 minutes of any new conversation for me are spent changing what other people have said or thought about me already.
Also had people surprised that I read a lot, I'm a bit more crude in real life I suppose, I lose all the big words and just go back to basics because I'm not a great conversationalist unless I have time to think things out. I'm pretty quiet too, so people are condescending when they find I'm not really a pushover. -------------------- Don't Panic.

In my experiences no one expects metal heads to read, they expect us to attend black masses or something, or atleast, several people still think i am a satanist because of my Venom Shirt.

Probably most people think im the person who does not like to have fun, like going out. But thats not the truth. 2. Although it might be obvious sometimes, i think probably most people dont know that I, like Uncreator love to learn and know about the World, its mysteries, wonders, and how it works. 3. Although i think almost everyone knows that my biggest passion is music, and going to a music college, most people dont know how good/bad I am, because ive never played live/gigged, altough im planning to do it very very soon. -------------------- Playing Guitar Since: December 2006 |

Although being sterotyped because of your ethnicity is probably the worst. |

I don't really think that I've had any things that people don't expect me to know, except people are surprised very often that I like reading fantasy type books. But, I am growing my hair out ( to headbang) and I'm sure I'll start having people accusing me of being a drughead.

But, I am growing my hair out ( to headbang) and I'm sure I'll start having people accusing me of being a drughead. That has happened to me more than once. When I had hair at least Every time I'd go into an arcade in Montreal, someone would come to ask me if I was interested in buying drugs. I don't drink, smoke or take drugs and I'm a metalhead. I don't see a contradiction in that.The other thing for me is the way people would look at me when they realize I have a comic book collection. It's as if I was too stupid to read real books. I read many different subjects. It just depends on the mood I'm in when I feel like reading. --------------------  There are 2 types of people in the world: consumers and creators. Which one are you? |

Although I haven't heard that comment since I start going to college so its cool. I actually really really really really hate math. I took pre-algebra in my first semester in college . Good thing I'm going for a major where I don't need a lot of math.

Most people don't expect me to play guitar, like hard rock / metal as well as jazz and blues.
People don't think I like to party. Most people never put brains and playing computer games along with those things usually. --------------------  Ticking away the moments that make up a dull day. Fritter and waste the hours in an offhand way http://www.myspace.com/cashnz |

I love roller coasters. I use coasterdynamix models, all that stuff. no adveritsing or anything! The whole idea is that everything (including atoms) was contained in a single space, all the matter that there is now, one small place. Then the big bang happened, and scattered all the matter contained in that single space apart from each other, creating what we know as "Space" or The Universe, of course though, its just a theory.
