	You're right, that is interesting!

Fascinating. I didn't read up on the meter they use, that's interesting.

I think you're right in that we would rate higher on the male spectrum if we were writing the way we were supposed to. I know, for a fact, that my writing is much more ``male'' in general. I've been using lots of alliteration today.

The reason that my LiveJournal isn't as ``male'' as my usual writing, I think, is because it's me writing about myself. If it were an academic piece, a communique, or something else it wouldn't rate nearly as ``female'' as my journal does. Here, I am writing about me.

It's just like how odd it is to meet people through LiveJournal. Your only interaction with them for a while is their writings about themselves, which takes all sorts of egotistical and subjective routes through their life.
