In the almighty name of procrastination, I present:

Books I Wish I Was Reading Right Now (instead of working on my SIP):

The Concept of Irony by Soren Kierkegaard
Be Near Me by Andrew O'Hagan
Bleak House by Charles Dickens
Siegfried Sassoon: A Life by Max Egremont
My Darling, My Hamburger by Paul Zindel
The Abstinence Teacher by Thomas Perrotta
and, as always, Baby by Kristen Thorup

So there's this handy little thing called Gender Guesser, which analyzes writing and "attempts" to determine the author's gender, based on the words used and how they are used in sentences.

"The system generates a simple estimate (profiling). While Gender Guesser may be 60% - 70% accurate, it is not 100% accurate. This is better than random guessing (50%), but should not be interpreted as "fact". In particular, men should not be offended if it says you write like a girl."

No matter what part of my SIP I plug into it, I come up with these results:
Genre: Formal
Female = 2957
Male = 3120
Difference = 163; 51.34%
Verdict: Weak MALE
Weak emphasis likely indicates European.

No matter what blog entries I enter, I get these results:
Genre: Informal
Female = 417
Male = 688
Difference = 271; 62.26%
Verdict: MALE

So, I am a [weak/European] male. Does that make me more awkward? I honestly I have no idea how I feel about this.

I may begin working on my SIP again. Such a statement requires fanfare.

Current length: 58 pages
# of pages left to write: 62

That means I am almost half-way done.
