Ah, other people, bless 'em . . . where do they get such fanciful, wrong ideas?
I was thinking about writing some long thoughtful (myopic) what-passes-for-introspection piece about the odd, counterfactual notions even close friends can come up with about our characters . . . but I'm not sure I'm up for it. I'm not sure why I care much, except that I can't get past the notion that I should be able to control what people think of me, generally, and when it should matter what they think of me. I'm not sure I'm ready to put the misapprehensions of other people into Niebuhr's category of things I cannot change, but that would make for an interesting paradigm shift. As it is, if someone's perception of me differs very much from mine, I typically view it as a correctable misunderstanding
Anyway, anyone who really thinks I'm impatient, opinionated and arrogant should really consult a good dictionary . . . or should have known me in the eighth grade.

Or consult someone who knew you in the eighth grade--I'm sure a few of us would be available to provide such a service. ;)
