Goodness, your perceptiveness makes me blush… But I’m a few year past cute, and entirely too close to: “Doesn’t she look remarkable for her age?”

[hijack]Poor Matt, yet another one of your sexual fantasies dashed to pieces. 🙂 [/hijack]

Since I get asked a lot too because it is kind of hard to tell by my screen name, I am of the female persuasion.

Well, anyone who’s familiar with Douglas Adams could easily guess my gender.

For the rest of you: I am male. Plain ol’ boring heterosexual (that means “straight,” for all you Hellenically-challenged people) male.

However, I’ll be willing to change all that if I meet the right lesbian.

Whoa, yeah! 😃 He’s definitely male. I’m definitely female.

But Mrs. Zero? Honey, uh… no. I don’t like that much. I mean, I am your wife and all, but Mrs. Zero just doesn’t sound right…

Inconstancy falls off ere it begins.

More fresh in Julia’s with a constant eye?

Well, there’s the fact that I’m Dave, The Dave-Guy, and Sakura’s father. But just in case you wondered…

“What, with my tongue in your tail? nay,  
Good Kate; I am a gentleman.”

–The Taming of the Shrew  
Act II, Scene i

And just so you know, DRY, Sakura’s looking for a Shakespearean gender-revealing quote too!

This is fun!

This may be pointless, but for the new folks on the board I’ll dredge out the antecedants again…

Yeah, my screen name is weird. And male. And dead. And obscure.

But I’m female anyway.

Hey, it was a weak moment. It _happens_, okay?
