Narrative:
At acy airport on jan/xa/99 at XA58, ground told me to taxi from 1X to taxiway H, hold short of active runway 31 for landing traffic, and contact tower. Upon reaching 2X ground told me to stop and contact tower. Tower told me to hold there until landing traffic had cleared. Tower then told me 'aircraft X, cleared for takeoff and fly heading 310 degrees.' I then departed from 2X and crossed the active runway and turned to 310 degrees. The tower called me and said that's not what I wanted you to do. He said he did not want me to cross the active. I told him, 'I apologize, but you should have said fly heading 310 degrees, you are clear for takeoff.' he disagreed. My original request was to depart to the north.
