Hi Inge and all -

I'm not really a tomboy and never was in the traditional sense - I wasn't a 
girly-girl either, more androgynous in my interests (bicycles, tree forts, 
ice skating, cats, books) if not my looks (first girl to need a bra in the 
6th grade).  But I have had one best female friend most of my life - other 
female friends have come and gone or drifted away - and all my other close 
friends are men.

Always have been.

In my case, I'm an ENTJ on the Myers-Briggs personality matrix ("the Field 
Marshal") - and female ENTJs are supposed to have the most characteristics 
like the classic "alpha male" - female ENTJs accounting for less than 1% of 
the population.  I don't have a lot of the "classic" female responses to 
things and never have had.  I find men on the whole more interesting to be 
around because their overall conversational style is less inane in a group 
than that of women (individually, women can be just as great to talk to - 
but something about a group sinks the collective IQ to banal chatter about 
makeup and laundry stains).

Maybe Lily's the same way - being "Head Girl" suggests that possibility to 
me.

Felinia
