I’m female, but I guess you could tell that from my name. And just so I can use the other sig from 2sense … “Don’t laddie me you bugger!” 😃 ---

It escapes me who it was who did a double take upon being introduced to me at ChiDope, exclaiming “I always thought you were a guy?”. The name is ambiguous, but I’m _all_ woman… ---

> [@](#): > > \*Originally posted by CnoteChris \* > **Screech- While I enjoy music as much as the next person, I doubt I’ll ever be a conductor ::sniff::.** Awwwwww. As long as you’re not what we in music school used to call a ‘diode’ (a semi-conductor). These were the conductors who just couldn’t handle their own batons, much less make beautiful music. It’s not the size of the baton, but how you handle the nuances that make the symphony exiting. Let me intorduce you to “Fantasia on a Theme by Thomas Tallis” (Ralph Vaughan Williams) sometime. Now THAT is some subtle and gorgeous music… ---

I’m a guy, but I really want to be a lesbian. I heard a great song the other day: I wish I was queer, so I could meet chicks. Wish I had some pictures to show you all, but you’ll just have to trust me when I say what a ravishing hunk of gold I am. [sub]yes, gold is easily maleable, what’s your point?[/sub] ---

It’s all in the name… yes I’m a guy. If you have any doubts, send **Lnix** to investigate, and I’ll prove it. (Akk! Okay, I’m a cad! I admit it. But it’s the first time I saw that **Lnix** pic, and how can I fail to be impressed?) ---
