"Yeah, that's really my name. You wanna make sumfin' out of it?"

WHEEEE, Rob's captions are GREAT! "I see London, I see France," HA!

I forgot to mention earlier that I am registered at summer school under my birth name, which I worried over to hell and back. When I got to the classroom I told the teacher that my name on the roll "confuses people" (true), and that I'm getting it changed this summer (hopefully true), and could she just make a note on the roll?

She asked me what my name is. When I told her Danielle, her reaction was a "say whaaat?" look, and I told her it's a long story. She cheerfully agreed to change it.

It's nice to know that I pass well enough at this point that my birth name gets a "wtf?" Part of that is undoubtedly my age, however.

My age and my walk. There's nothing like the straight-boy walk - pigeon-toed, swivel-hipped, ape-armed - to scream MALE. And no, I didn't cultivate that walk. I have always walked like that. G'head, make fun of my walk. *glare*

i'm awake, too, mr. walk like an ape.

and it's not even like you can claim danielle is a male name in some other culture.

I'm glad you liked my captions. *grin* And you can always do what I'm doing with the premale name. When it comes up I have one of two responses: 1. Grimace. Say "Yeah, it's Welsh. That's why I changed it, I was just tired of messing with it." or 2. Roll your eyes. Say "Yeah, I know. I had hippie parents and they thought it would be cute to name a boy that."

The teacher didn't raise a fuss- that's good! ;)
