Ironically, I'm more bothered by whether my guildmates in MMOs know how old I am as opposed to what gender I identify. In real life I panic at the possibility of others perceiving me as female, online I get strongly agitated at the probability that others are going to think of me as a preteen.
Tonight I'm realizing that this is probably not the case with my guildies, because they just spent an hour comparing their 'oldie-cred' peens about which 20-gig computers they had 20-30 years ago and I shit you not, they brought up morse code.
It's becoming exceedingly obvious that they could probably think I'm in my 30's and still talk to me like I'm a little kid. I can't decide if this is relieving or irritating.
..........
Next time that guy asks me if my mom know's I'm hanging out with them, I hope I remember to ask if his mom knows he's there, too - I think his mom spends more time playing EQ than mine does.
I love these guys, but really. He accused me of not knowing what DOOM is. Sheesh, dude. I'm not a zygote.
