Book Addict's Blog

So, I was going to post about my adventures on this vacation, but that's going to have to wait. Thanks to faerydragonet, I found the following meme:

It was the fact that I apparently write like a male that intrigued me. So, I went on Gender Genie, read the article there, then tried out some of my writing on their test. Apparently, my non-fiction is mostly male, while my fiction is more female (even when I'm writing in the PoV of male characters). That makes sense, since according to the study, females are supposed to use personal pronouns more, and I'd use those more in fiction than non-fiction. On the other hand, determiners, numbers, and quantifiers are supposedly more male, and I'd use more of those in my non-fiction. I thought my blog posts should be more female (and apparently some individual ones are), but I guess I don't write about people I know all that often, so maybe they're more male. *shrug*

Anyway, I was going to look at it more, but as is usual when I write these posts, it's late and I'm tired. So I'll "continue the research" with you guys: do you write like a male or a female?

...was a beautiful day, albeit a bit windy.

...I actually got up before 10:40am (my first class on T/Th is at 11:00) in time to go meet with a professor to have him help me with a homework problem.

...my Intermediate Jazz dance teacher was in a MUCH better mood than last class, which made it so much more enjoyable.

...Mike Huckabee (with Chuck Norris) was in town. He came around 3:30pm, but I had class until 3:10. I'm not a supporter (don't know quite who I support at this time), but I decided to go because I thought it would be interesting. Unfortunately, by the time I got there, they were out of room and so I was stuck in a hallway listening to his speech (well, half of it, since I got there a bit late and then people were too loud to hear it until some told them to shut up). So it was kind of a waste of time, since I can listen to a speech on TV or online.  Tomorrow, Hillary Clinton comes to town. I'm even less of a supporter of her, but I would still LOVE to go.  It's history in the making here, even if she doesn't win the presidency. And while I don't support her campaign, I do think its WAY past time we had a president who wasn't a white male. Unfortunately, I have class until 1:50pm (and really can't miss it), and she comes at 2:00. I'll probably head over anyway, but I'm pretty sure I'll run into the same problem.

...I personally had a pretty good performance for Sing! We weren't judged tonight, but we still had an audience, so it feels good to do well. And I think our group as a whole did well, too, though it's hard to say since I can't watch it while I'm performing.  Because it was not a judging night, we got to sit up in the upper balcony for free, as long as we were in costume. So I got to see the first (of three) acts before call time.  I could have watched the three acts after us, but I really didn't have time.

...I really shouldn't be posting on LJ (or be spending time online at all), since I have a ton of homework and I've already slept through my 9:00am class too many times and missed it twice when I was out of town.
