I had a person who I thought was my friend make a false assumption -- which is no big deal.
The usual problem when dealing with assumptions is it's best not to have them, and just ask when you get the chance. Otherwise, you could end up acting on incorrect information, and looking foolish, at best.
You could hurt someone's feelings ... in the case of what happened here.
I suppose I should feel lucky that I know this person is goofy beofre things get really sticky, and just avoid associating with them except where necessary.
But it's sad sometimes when people simply can't trust you.

I have a feeling I'm heading in the way of Van Gogh... except that I'm not a genius. I'm just a crazy mediocrity. I'll never cut off any body parts. Too vain. I can't even cut my hair, let alone an ear. Ill remain unglorified forever. Perhaps perhaps not. I could make it huge in my 30s. I am optimistic about my 30s. Optimism usually bites me in the ass, but not always. I remain safely pessimistic at all times just in case.
