h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

you don't have to answer but I'm really curious, are you male or female?
I'm guessing male here but I really can't tell conclusively. If I've offended you, you can try being rude to me if it'll help to form the new and improved you...

*ponders upon all sorts of immature suggestions such as telling her I'm a six foot male with blonde hair and a German accent, before rejecting them*

Nah, I'm female. I didn't mean to choose a particularly male-sounding name, but that's how it appears. By the time I notice anyone called me 'he' it's a dozen postings later so it really doesn't matter.

Why did you think I was male? Was it just my name?
*being nosy* *not insulted*

The fencing, the pretending to be a pirate and the obseesion with wacky races.
I also do the first two and I'm a girl but I thought that being obsessional about anything clinched it.
I was wrong! I've been calling you 'he' for weeks. Oh dear, how embarrassing.

Obsession? No, just a healthy interest (clutches Wacky Races video and laughs manically)

*ponders*

When you talk to me you would address me as 'you'
So.. to address me as 'he' you must have...been talking about me

*spooky music*
Yes, I have been talking about you.
*spooky music ceases*
you're that interesting!
