If anything, I think the entire term "tomboy" is thrown around like a frisbee far too much and for far too little.

Yeah I agree... which is why I made it a point to not immediately use the term "tomboy." What is a tomboy anyway? I think it's a stupid term. I'm glad I grew up playing with a range of different toys and genders. That being said, I do know a lot of families full of girls who have grown up to be very girly and I often wonder if it's because they didn't have a brother or access to other games/ activities. Maybe their parents only bought girly toys because they only had girls. I don't know, but it's interesting.
And yeah, I think I act like a girl, I just get along with guys better, we generally share the same interests... it's just the types of guys and girls I know, I guess.
