Of course google thinks I'm a dude..... Why did I see that coming? They got my demographic completely wrong. But then again, if they marketed 15-year-old girl stuff to me, it wouldn't be accurate.

Not sure where hair care came from? haha. I'm almost out of their assumed age demographic, but it probably picked that cause I spend lots of time downloading music and looking at memes.

Apart from the age, everything else seems in order. Oh, and the movies thing. I don't really go to many movie sites and am not a movie buff. Dunno where that came from.
