Hi, I'm Soapbox Monkey, and I'm a GUY
I just wanted to clarify this because in some of my threads people seem to make the assumption that I'm a woman. Or maybe they think I'm gay. But I'm neither.

Just wanted to settle that.

I just assumed you were a guy. Didn't think many girls would label themselves a "Monkey." Hmm....

Hi, Soapbox.

Admitting you have a problem is half of the solution. Sucks that we'll never get a toaster, though.

Well you cleared things up for me, because I thought you were a guy. For some reason I tied the "Phall" in your name with "phallus" and decided you were male.

Ok, now I feel embarrased that I would have randomly tried to form that connection.

I thought you were a guy because of your penis concerns. Oh, and I'm a flagrantly homosexual leprechaun. In case you were wondering.

Someone's got to say it... Silver Serpentine, how you doing? Are you cute? Are you single?

(Aside: Based on the last singles party I was at, I'm starting to learn the usefulness of the opening line, "You're cute! Are you single?")

You're a guy, unless your occupation listing in your profile is bogus or if "airman" is a unisex title....
