バタバタ is an onomatopoeia expressing busyness. Usually, a Japanese onomatopoeia repeats a two-mora part (like バタ) twice, four morae in total, but here, it is repeated thrice.

Does 子 here mean that he is referring to himself as a girl, or as a child? – language hacker Jul 27 '11 at 19:52
I think it's a boy because I know who this is. What makes you think he's a girl? – language hacker Jul 27 '11 at 20:30

The 子 ending. If it is not a boy, then he's trying to look childish, I guess. – sawa Jul 27 '11 at 20:39
Would a boy normally ever use that ending when referring to himself, or only girls? This person likes to wear female clothing. – language hacker Jul 27 '11 at 20:40

If you know the person, why don't you ask him what he meant? – Axioplase Jul 28 '11 at 3:04
