AS bloody L

Some guy messaged me on myspace saying 'Hi ASL, wanna chat?'

A few things:
-If he found me through myspace, he must have searched, or at least browsed, for me. EG- browse for [male/female], age [whatever] in [area].
-If it was a random stumble upon my myspace, it clearly says on my profile that I am 20 & from Newcastle, in the corner where the information is meant to go.
-Also my picture clearly shows I am female... which he can see, by messaging me.

So I messaged back saying:

'Lol, have you actually been on my profile?
As you can see from the girl in my photo, which is me, I am female :) And I'm 20, living in Newcastle, though not originally from.'

I wonder if he replies, heehee. Funnily, the song I was listening to whilst writing this is a song called 'Photobooth' by Death Cab for Cutie, and the lyrics went 'you were so condescending'. Though, to be honest, if you message someone obviously female asking what sex they are, you sort of deserve to be... um.. is 'condescended' a word. It's not like he couldn't check to make sure. Hey, check out all this writing on her page! Maybe I should read it before asking STUPID QUESTIONS.

I guess it's that whole matter of- read the bloody FAQ before bothering the moderators. As a moderator, this subject is one of personal interest to me. I hate it when I get 50 identical 'OMGZ HELP PLZ' messages, when there is a clear label at the top of the page of the forum I work on, (and the welcome page when you join) saying 'New? Read this first'.

GRRRR

Sorry guys, it's not like I'm majorly bothered or anything. It's quarter to 5am and I'm amused. Maybe I should go to sleep? Yes... Comic book convention tomorrow, and I'm going with my housemate. Yay!
