I think it's your user name more than anything - I thought Jules was a masculine name and Jones falls on the male side of my brain for some reason. I still have trouble remembering you are a girl when I'm skimming over my flist quickly.
When I chose my fandom name and designed my journal, I somewhat deliberately chose something that was ambiguously on the masculine side of things. I wasn't trying to hide behind that or intended to present myself as male but I wanted to appear somewhat tomboyish and masculine at first glance - That just embodies my inner fangirl, not my outward persona. I don't think anyone who actually *read* my journal would mistake my gender. I could be wrong about that though - I had an old high school buddy look me up on the internet and find my journal... He posted and when I asked him how he found me he said it wasn't hard through Google (because he knew enough about me) but he just needed to make sure he was emailing *me* and not a gay British man. LOL! I wasn't going for gay or British but there you have it! :-)
