My life details, so thrilling

Mar 26, 2010 10:33

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 ( Read more... )

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?

(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.")

The story of my box-robot with become a cult hit, just you wait! BOXCUTTER, starring Harrison Ford, Rutger Hauer, and a voice-over track so bad that it's eventually taken out. *nod*

I vote castle. We can stock it with pillows and such - it'd be like a pillow fort but BETTER.
