Written this morning
Today, my horoscope in the Seattle Times read, "People will like you better if you do not challenge their misconceptions." This seemed very apropos of my life in general, as I often feel like my tendency to correct people is a great alienator. However, after a second thought on the matter, another possible interpretation comes to mind. Could this be meant to refer to people's misconceptions about me (that is, all Aquarians who read the Times) in particular? What misconceptions, I wonder, do people have about me, and would they like me better if I allowed them to persist? I have often thought that I tend to make bad first impressions, but there is always the possibility that I am wrong in this. It bears thinking about.
What misconceptions do you, my dear readers, feel are made about you?

I'd prefer to have my misconceptions about you crushed under the merciless foot of truth, but I can't tell if I have any since all I have is my own subjective reality and blah blah blah. But if you think I have any please ignore the paper's advice.
I think I give people the impressions that I'm unusually, and deep-seededly, cheery and tolerant. But really I'm predisposed towards negative thinking and dwelling and I only seem tolerant because I operate with different values and standards than what I guess I'm supposed to have.
Also, I don't think you're bad at making good first impressions because I liked you a bunch when I first met you!
