Never expected to lose my crippling social anxieties.

My life has been pretty much exactly what I expected. This could be considered bad, since I'm the cynically optimistic type.


I never expected to be into cartoons (especially one about colorful ponies), I suppose.

Quote from: Chesterton
For, in order that men should resist injustice, something more is necessary than that they should think injustice unpleasant. They must think injustice absurd; above all, they must think it startling. They must retain the violence of a virgin astonishment. When the pessimist looks at any infamy, it is to him, after all, only a repetition of the infamy of existence. But the optimist sees injustice as something discordant and unexpected, and it stings him into action.

I never expected to ever admit (in any way) I am transgender, or to convincingly pass as female.

I honestly never, ever expected anyone could ever be my friend in real life or at all if they knew this about me.

I never expected to start my own law practice.

I never expected to wear a bulletproof vest in this job, or to be repeatedly assaulted.

I never expected to have the entire legal industry crash or to have people contemptuously say they didn't need a lawyer when they do.

I never expected to be in any foreign country for any length of time.

I never expected to be any good at public speaking or courtroom presentation at all, because I was incredibly shy.

I never expected to walk at all normally again after my leg got broken.

I never expected the repeal of DATD, or of sodomy criminal laws, or that any state in the US would allow gay adoption, or marriage.

I never expected a lot of things.

Never expected to be a father. Or get married, for that matter.
Sentiments echoed. Never expected to be divorced. Never expected to fight in a cage. Never expected holes in my spine. Never expected a bum knee. Never expected to be homeless, even if it wasn't for very long.

Holy crap, why did I not start watching One Punch Man earlier? This is the best thing.
probably figured an autobiography wouldn't be interesting

No one ever expects the Spanish Inquisition!

That doesn't count. :P

I expect them all the time, I even keep a comfy chair handy, but to date they've never showed up.

I never expected to have a girl say I was her father's child and try to get child support out of me. Blood test, but then I'm also completely uninterested in women in that way.... Part of a larger failed extortion plot.

She tried to claim she was your sister/half-sister? I guess I could see the appeal of that, you sound like you'd make for an awesome sibling.

I never expected to always be so conflicted with myself.

Yeah, typo. She tried to claim I was her child's father and get child support out of me. I knew the attorney was on the up and up, cause he had no problem when I demanded a blood test. Or rather he wasn't in on it, but she was totally against it.

Her: "You're not sticking needles into my baby's veins!"
Me: "Of course not, they have lab technicians for that."

Callous? Perhaps, but then so would've been me paying hundreds a month for a kid that wasn't mine....

I never expected to actually learn how to play the guitar from a video game.

That one shocked me.

I think I like my version where she tries to forcibly adopt you as her sister and you have to go to court and have a blood test to prevent it better...
