Assumptions.

In an ever growing effort to make pickup lines one of my areas of expertise I bought a book entitled "Pickups and Come-ons for All Occasions", it is very simply an anthology of collected lines divided into categories based on the nature of the line. What really caught my attention was the last category, "Famous Flirtations" which contains lines from films, television, music, and literature. But what really caught my interest in this was a quote by François Rabelais, now I only know Rabelais due to his last words "I go to seek a Great Perhaps" and their significance in John Green's novel "Looking for Alaska". Now this was a very profound statement and as a result I just assumed everything he did would of that nature. This is the quote.

"I wrong you not if I my thoughts reveal, 

Saying how the beauty that your clothes conceal 

Is like a spark that sets afire my heart. 

I only ask that you then, for your part, 

Will be a saddle and let me ride, 

Just for this once."   

Once again proves that when you assume it makes an ass out of you and me (ass-u-me). 

Let's talk about assumptions, I like to assume things, it allows me to, like, prepare for hypothetical. Or I make assumptions about people, and now this can get me into trouble. From here I will onto two points, 1. Why I make assumptions 2. Past Assumptions I've made. (Ones that have gotten me into trouble, or close to it.) So I make assumptions in an attempt to either predict future behavior or to fill in the blanks while I'm getting to know people. Okay, now on to saying things that could get me harassed, judged, shunned, or many other things. *braces self* So, I assume that until I meet them or made aware of it all males have a penis, and equally all women have a vagina. I assume that people are straight until they inform me differently. I used to assume that redheads had a superiority complex. But I also used to assume many other things but as stated above assuming makes an ass out of you and me (ass-u-me).

But in writing this and thinking about it while doing so I am reminded that assumptions are not generally good thing, actually a lot of assumptions can be bad. And so I make this request to you try and stop making assumptions about people, I know I will.

Post Script: Happy Halloween. I am being the "personification of a thought or idea". To be more specific I am being "When life gives you lemons", so what are you being for All Hollow's Eve. More importantly what are you being for All Horcrux's Eve?
