That would be everyone I've met, and I've got some right, and I've got some wrong. In secondary school, I got one person really wrong, and I got one person quite accurately.
The one I definitely got wrong was Eddie, but as he always put it, "But I cannot help it, he kept following me!" in reference to the first impression of him I got. I just felt he and his classmate were just plain weird, walking up behind me and calling my name, only to have goofy smiles when I turned around. Creepy? Yes. Somehow he managed to get passed the bad first impression and made a better name for himself in my eyes.
As for the person who I got right, well it's not the creepy classmate, but someone in the same class since the first year. She was probably the first person that talked to me on the first day of school, and for that one conversation, I couldn't hear a damn thing she asked me as she mumbled. Even after asking her to repeat herself a few times, she didn't seem to want to give up, while I did. That's when I made up my mind that this person was just plain odd. Along the way, there were a lot of incidents that just reinforced that first impression, and she doesn't seem to want to change for the better. So as in 1994, I gave up.
