My life details, so thrilling

[strangecreature]

Snow, snow, and more snow. I dressed business casual for school today for no apparent reason (Okay! Okay! All my jeans need to be washed, I confess!) and zoomed around trying to eat snowflakes nonetheless. And then, in my full Mikeyway outerwear ensemble due to aforementioned snow, I got 'ma'am'ed by a construction work. X-D

Haha, ma'am? Uh-oh. I have a friend, about the same age, who seeks that title or something similar. She feels she's too old to be called "miss."

I got called "madame" once at a Chinese restaurant. I can't say I was in Mikeyway wardrobe, but I have felt that the shiny band-leader-esque jacket I wore that day was probably created when someone said, "hey, Black Parade was cool..."

I suspect I would've been just as thrown by a 'miss', honestly. *G* Whenever I'm that bundled, I like to think that I look pretty damn gender-neutral. But apparently it just ain't so!

Hee!! I don't think I've ever gotten a 'madame'... Not counting times when I was in big trouble as a kid and my mom would whip it out in a tone most ominous. *g*

Ahhh...I wasn't sure if you meant that, but I thought maybe you did after I posted. Just out of curiosity, do you generally prefer gender-neutral pronouns? (I hope I haven't been doing it wrong).

Haha, well yes. And your full name, right?

[coniferous_you]

(I don't know why my mom did that. It just sounds so...regal, and then you, or at least I probably did, think, "you can't punish me, I HAVE A LONG NAME.")

Nah, I've always been pretty comfy on the she/her end of the spectrum. Sometimes my brain just falls into the content-over-form mindset of the Internet and forgets that people in the 'real world' see me as a female pretty much before anything else. If... that made any sense whatsoever. O_o

Ha!! Indeed... Madame was for "you might be in big trouble", but MEGAN ELIZABETH was for "you are in big trouble and also your sister has testified against you". X-D
