Still nablopomoing

And as a result I have not got much to report that I haven't already said. J is doing well with his new therapist.

Mermaidy goodness!

I always thought your username sounded like you should be leading a drugs recovery workshop. Like AA, or NA, something like that. And that I am too unhip to know what "K" stands for. Ketamine? CranK? CracK? :-)

[kicking_k]

I don't know what it ought to stand for either. I am not only unhip, but so wholesome to look at that I have never been offered any drugs, ever. Not that I feel the lack of opportunity.

That's okay. I've been referred to as "sir" to my face. Even from someone who had actually looked at me and was standing next to me. He was a salesperson at Best Buy where I was trying to buy a copy of "Serenity" on my birthday.

Oh, yes. I have a woolly hat which causes bus drivers to address me as "son". People do not always pay attention...

I've never really thought about it to be honest.

I think your username is pretty ambiguous, and someone who's not paying very much attention might combine that with the sleek black userpic and assume that you're a guy.

Of course, when I was using this icon, I had a guy on my friends list for seriously like four months before I posted about birth control and he realized I was in fact a woman and not a comfortably effeminate gay man.

That was sort of what I assumed was happening. Though I suppose there's not much in any representative comment of mine to indicate I'm not a guy. Each time I've been taken for one has been in a community where I'm not well known to everyone, although in one (longhair) women outnumber men considerably, so you'd think the balance of probability was against it!

I don't mind - in fact, I'd much rather my gender wasn't the first thing people notice. I may have long hair but I'm not very comfortable with the societal expectations associated with femininity. (Well, that was a cumbersome sentence!)

I feel the same way; it's one of the things I like about the internet.
