Who are you?
I got this comment on one of my posts;
“So: if indeed you are a thirty-something lesbian geek, as you claim, you’re probably into Le Tigre.”
I must admit I am left a little puzzled about why people might not think I am who I say I am. I know the internet is the place where people assume a fake identity, but geez, if I was going to fake someone to be on the ‘net, it certainly wouldn’t be a thirty something lesbian geek, that’s for sure. For one, I would pretend to be someone really cool as well as thin and gorgeous, definitely not a fat nerdy dyke. I would also blog about my really cool and interesting life where I would be living the high life, meeting famous people in coffee shops and posting pictures of myself at fabulous locations. But there is none of that here - I am really am a lesbian geek living in Sydney, Australia, leading a normal life.
Also, I am so into Le Tigre, I had to google them. No idea who or what they are. Apparently they are an American post-punk/electro-pop band. I guess that means my lesbian cred is now non-existent. Did I mention I was a geek? No idea about popular cool culture, but I bet I could kick Le Tigre’s ass at a Xena trivia contest. Yeah, I am so cool.

LOL
I dunno, you won’t use Ubuntu? Your geek cred’s slipping too, thanks to Lelak *snicker*
Lemme guess, Lelak’s really just some random guy who’s getting a thrill out of pretending he’s a lesbian female…
Seriously, though, aren’t people funny? The preconceptions they have. Although maybe the commentor was joking, and hasn’t worked out smileys. If so, I don’t get it.

well, if indeed you are a lesbian geeky kind of gal, than um…you must like other women. Sorry, I guess I’m not good at this game. But yeah, if you’re going to make up a personality, I’d think it would be something fantastically amazing! In which case, I’m sure you’re having a blast in Saint Moritz or Saint Tropez or whatever glamorous place that fabulous (and disgustingly skinny bitches) go for fun.
Either way, have fun!

What I want to know is why you don’t think being a thirty-something lesbian geek is not fabulous. I mean you could be a thirty-something wife and mother of two boys sort of fabulous if you wanted to assume an alternative lifestyle.
It is quite bizarre that they would question your authenticity, but it sounds like they just wanted to seem geeky lesbian hipster cool and talk about a band like an insider. I suppose I could’ve started off our conversations with and Indigo Girls trivia challenge or something, but what would the fun of that be? Oh wait, I actually think that would be fun… Maybe I am a thirty-something lesbian geek…

Naomi: I just can’t bring myself to use Ubuntu. I just don’t really like how it looks. I guess I am just a Windows user at heart. But the way I look at it, my geek cred is intact, but my nerd cred has declined.
LA Blogger Girl: I really do like women… a lot. I also wish I was in fabulous places like Saint Tropez, but instead I am sitting in my cubicle in Sydney.
Amy: Maybe you have the musical tastes of a lesbian, that is very possible. One of my lesbian friends has the musical tastes of a gay man - only that can explain her obsession with Robbie Williams and Kylie Minogue.
