If someone's first name is Sarvenaz, would you assume they are male, or female?
She's female. Try doing a Google image search on "Sarvenaz".
If every vampire who said he was at the crucifixion was actually there, it would have been like Woodstock.

It means "a tall slender tree" or "a beautiful woman" in Farsi.

And then there's Durham's so called public transportation. My 10 mile commute = 2 hours, each way on it. And I'm going from a major Durham neighborhood to a major Durham employment area. So, yeah, I feel dw's pain. Except for the part where I've just given up and drive in.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
Oh, but PS: as a person with a gender-neutral first name, I always appreciate it when people don't assume.
Not that Sarvenaz appears to be gender-neutral.

Oh! I forgot to tell that all the Serenity premiere talk gave my sleep-deprived mind a premiere-themed dream last night. Though I weirdly conflated Hollywood with Chatanooga, and the setting somehow transitioned from the red carpet to a seedy youth hostel kitchen where teenage fangirls were trying to cajole Sean Maher into kissing them (I somehow managed to resist joining in, while Kristen rolled her eyes something fierce) to a twillight country lane I was giving ita a lift down. She jumped out of the car to run across lawns in pursuit of a fleeing perp, and I discovered that even in my dreams I'm sadly out of shape as I huffed and panted and fell way behind.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Sometimes you have to, though. English and software can be annoying. Not to mention colour coding the napkins pink or blue.
Whee! Perp!

Oh yeah. That. I'm slower than you.

Well, yeah. In those cases, I appreciate people who don't freak out when you guess wrong. In my direct-mail days, I remember several irate letters from people like men named Marion or women called Chris or whatever. Come ON, people.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

I wish they wouldn't. But I don't get bent out of shape about it.
