this userpic is relevant to my manliness

[ansemaru]

Do I try too hard to assert my masculinity? I feel like I might be going too far to be 'one of the guys' (whatever that really means). Do I come across as a jerkass?

it also amuses me that the older and more mature I get, the less I care about grammar, spelling, and punctuation in blog entries etc.

at least I can IM at a reasonable speed now

LOL, yes, I'm male.

...This means I have my work cut out for me, doesn't it.

ffff the occasional error is okay, but pleasepleaseplease don't misspell too many words or use too much incorrect grammar. Dx It irritates me hardcore, yo.

((lol oh hai. <3 I'm Jessica.))

Oh, I'm gonna be completely literate for Disappear! and things like that.

Heyyyy. :D

[jessicafftheii]

Good, good. x3

are you in dee already? i'm kind of really slow, so. |D

[ansemaru]

I'm Toru!

You couldn't be further from it.
How are you combining "never stands up to anyone" and "asserts too much masculinity" in your head, exactly? Because it sounds like an interesting thought process.
Meh. Well. Either way I think you have it down just about right for the ambiguous gender being that you are.

[ansemaru]

Hurm, that's what I thought. I've just been getting conflicting messages from people lately.
Ummmm..... those are relatively exclusive traits, though. Hmm.

If you say so.

I hear you. Younger-me would have died from all my "ikr bbs."

AS FOR MANLINESS I think you should just be asserting yourself first and your "archetype" second, I guess? You don't come off as a jerkass, that's for sure.

[ansemaru]

It's funny how that works. Maybe everyone hits critical mass for Grammar Nazi-ism at some point during their teens, and either mellows out as time goes by or becomes an English teacher.

That there's a good point. It's a little like RPing, almost. Hm... But yeah, good, I'm glad I don't seem like too much of a jerkass. I guess that part of my behavior doesn't really come across as much on the internet, anyway.
