Hi there. I think that this post is very appropriate for the male dominated site, (from what my friend said anyway.)

There is a great deal of confusion between boys and girls ragarding feamale gamers. I absolutley adore cute little games where you get to control people and dress them up and make them look pretty. I suppose that's why I have such a love of The Sims. for me it's like an advanced barbie set, and I love it. I get to design new wallpaper, and carpets, and best of all, I get to make the clothes.

That game is really good fun considering the cost of a barbie house would be £100 then then you have all the kitchens and furniture to buy.

But getting back onto the subject. Girls playing computer games.

I think I need to go back to the extremely sad and fashionless eighties. Back then the steriotype (ooh long words make me feel funny and jittery inside!) of computer people were wierdo boys who were bent on world destruction! but now you see they have become a part of everyday life. Everyone has one, and if you dont know how to use one then you're from the dark long time ago ages.

And E-Mail is sooo much better then SMS, and it is sooo much cheaper. It's especially good cos you can send pics to yur friends, and that is nice. Especially if you have a digital camera and then you can take a pic of yurself and Email it to your best friend to see if they think your hair and makeup looks nice... Oh you woulnt do that your boys!

Oh I cant stop getting off the point can I oh how my mind wanders!!!! hehe! Right we are now at a time where everyone uses computers.

Right now onto the gaming thing. about 2 or 3 years ago I was still wearing virgin socks, oops I wasnt meant to type that. 2 or 3 years ago, games were only considered for boys form 5-18 other than that, you were looked down upon if you played gammmmmmmmmmmm oh no I've broke a nail, one min.....

games, that's better! But now most men play games, and it is the girls that are looked down upon. They even sometimes have the ordacity to call us toyboys! so I think that in a few years we will find that girls are accepted, and then it will be the crinckly people who are looked down on if they play games!

So you see you will all have to accept me and my gaming chums cos wee rule. And you see the boring other girls that dont play games, dont know what they are missing. Rainbow Six I a very good multiplayer game, not that I can bring myself to put the gore on, that's just too gross any yucky. So I am pleased not ot be a wierd person, and I'm glad you all know how I feel about gaming. I love it. As long as there is no blood or fighting.

Ok I was just making that bit up about Rainbow Six, It's too scarey. My brother was playing it, I've never screamed sooo much in my life! But one of my other favourite games HAS to be Midtown Madness 2. going round london at 30mph is very exciting you know!

so getting back to girl games, you should not treat us different to other girls you know it's just that we have betttertastes in entertainment.

Thanyou all for reading my very first post on the male dominated (but not for long.) site.

Buyeeeeeeeeeeee and I hopre you like pink things cos I luuuuurve them!!!

Bye --xxx-- Bye

I also think it is a bloke pretending.

It's just too obviously girly. No girly would actually write "Oh, I broke a nail", as they'd be too busy crying and sobbing.

I have an idea who it could be, but I won't say in case I'm wrong.
