[QUOTE="Acquana, post: 1080073, member: 1616"] [b]I'm a chick[/b] No, seriously, I am. *checks* Yup, still a chick. Anyhoo, I've obviously been hangin out with guys for waaaaaaay too long. Afrodyte, you're right. You just are. Everyone who's argued the point, gotten offended, etc. etc. is just doing what they do, because they are the opposite of a girl: a boy. But hey, what's so wrong with that? Nuthin. I was told by Bob Burden (anyone ever heard of Flaming Carrot?
