I have nosy neighbours, in fact they are annoying and i try to avoid them as much as i can. The only thing i say to them is "Hi" or "Bye", somtimes "Thanks" or some little chithcat like that. But they are staring at me everytime they see me. I know they have retired from work and there is probably nothing spectacular happen anymore in their lifes. I might even say that gossip is their only joy of life.
Today i met them at the parking lot in front of our appartement house and after i greeted them they walked to their door. I had company and we carried some grocery to the entry. I could feel my neighbours walking extra slow and i wonder if they have a serious neck affliction after almost twisting their heads off by watching us.
All the time i pass them they stop talking and walking and stare at me.
I am so tempted to offer them a photography of mine next time they behave like that, just to annoy them. I would like to shout all across the parking lot if they have nothing better to do, bitchy as hell.
But of course i do not. I will smile as friendly as ever and keep saying "Hi" and "Bye". And grunt when i enter my appartement.
...and i listen to that song when i am highly annoyed!

Half roleplay, Semi-OOC and all that
I am not a person of either black or white. I mean i can also see things grey, shadowed, shaded, nothing is always either the one or the other (even if my picture says different, hehe)
BUT when it comes to Gor i am a really back/white type of woman. I mean this world is man dominated. Hey you didnt knew that yet? Then welcome to the world of dumb slaves, coddled princesses with pink ribbons in their hair, femlaws carrying sword, bow and 10 daggers all in one and Masters whose name in SL is actually Master with a profile entry "i am strong, i am dangerous, blahblah" and whose every second sentence ends with "smiles".
Well i can live with that, really, i do. I´ve seen much in my SL-life so far and i am barely shocked about anything. There is only one thing that i wonder about. What the hell is "half-roleplay" and "semi-ooc"? Wait, i try to explain it like it had been explained to me (won`t mention names here):
Example for Semi-ooc:
There is a council meeting which is supposed to be ooc, everyone may speak their minds in the open chat, but slaves have to serve the Free (in IM`s so it wont bother the meeting) and they are suppose to address the Free still as Master/Mistress.
Wow, i needed a moment to think about what a crappy shit that is. My IM´s are always ooc, so why would i bring Masterdude1 a virtual mead he never drinks anyway? He will probably only answer with a "Thank you girl, go on serve others" and i spend maybe 20 minutes of my precious time to perform some serves which are no serves!? Its semi-ooc cause its not ooc but it is ooc the same time? I can speak my mind in a meeting but have to be aware of what my place it? So i have to act like a slave and talk the same time for example "oh no i dont want femlaws in our sim" or "DudeXY had done that, lets ban him", is that what semi-ooc means? That´s ooc in my eyes. And the biggest shit i`ve ever heard.
The latest thing i heard was "half-roleplay". Apparently a new trend. And it goes like the following:
You stand at a rather non-gorean-roleplay-environment, for example at the Hub, and act like you are in a tavern, probably the same as if you were in a HTML chat. You dont need any backgrounds, your story is that you are thirsty and need a drink or you are horny and need a fuck, or you are super horny and in need of a Master. FW`s dont need an NPC to travel alone , they are at a semi-roleplay area which means they are safe and can be flirty without risking a collar.
Apparently this is called half-roleplay in SL Gor. Wow i am impressed. I chosed SL to have both, the visual and the text to enjoy a suitable roleplay in a gorean environment as closest as possible and now the latest trend is "half-roleplay"? Played by people who are bored of handmade built sims, decorated with sweat and love and payed a lot of money for? I am so not getting it! Why cant they just say:"Hey i am too lazy to build a storyline, i prefer easy roleplay, i wanna just e-sechs or whatever and thats why i do this." Maybe we shall call it "easy-roleplay"or "roleplay-light"? Ha, now i am getting ideas *grins*.
Whatever, semi-ooc and half-roleplay is not me. I´d rather prefer full-perm-furring and double-IC ;-)
See ya!

Stepford Goreans
I love the movie "Stepford Wives", its awesome and such a good parody. But maybe not all people think its a parody but a good way to be...in Gor.
While i wandered through Gor (and i still do..beware!!!) i found slaves who transformed into brainless waitresses with a always perfect hairstyling and permanent smile on their faces. The ultimative being of a slave is obviously serving (preferred at the docks), smiling and fucking. The vocabulary is simple and even if youre not native english you quickly learn the whole repertoire: "Yes Master", "Paga right away, Master", "Oh yes Master, i am cummin..". Not to forget the repetitives "giggles" and "smiles". But the worst thing is that they seem to be absolutely helpless and shirk responsibility for themselves and anything else. Is that what submission in SL means? I know there are some people out there with a good understanding of SL submission/roleplaying a slave and its fun to be with them. But the crowd of "kajirae" are acting like stepford sluts.
The worst thing is, these stepford sluts have Masters who act like idiots as well. The whole "pats her head" and "strokes her cheeks" is such a farce. Apparently its a good thing to stand at the docks talking to one of the 100 "Bro" while "the gorean Master" strokes his slaves cheek. Of course she serves him a cold Ale at the docks while he talks about the latest bow/sword/axe he bought. The tavern is too far away and he would have to roleplay there probably. Yes, i know, roleplaying is very exhausting and one have to use the brain to create stories, and involving others is even more complicated. So its easier to wait until someone else come up with that and one can flow with it, yes i understand. In the meantime he fondles his slaves head and talk about weapons he never uses anyway... And if his homesim is empty he quickly tp`s to the Gorhub to stroke her cheeks there. I am so impressed, "Goreans".

Elections
We just had elections in my country and it was a huge thing here. People were ranting about almost everything, the bad situation with our health system, the disastrous tax and pension system, and so on.
If you`d believed all those complains you would think the most part of our nation dont know what to eat tomorrow and poor kids go begging on the streets.
I cannot say i have to suffer anything in my country, i pay my tax which is -of what i know- quite normal in height compared to other countries around us. Yes, they have to improve many things in the next legislative period but all in all we are a rich country with clean roads and a profound health-system. In fact noone will die of hunger here, the basic social supply is guaranteed for everybody.
But all those complains drive me nuts. If you travel in other countries you regularly come back and say "wow how well we live ...", but people seem to forget pretty quickly.
We call it "Whining on a high level", and yes its so true.
Stop whining and start enjoying the life! Yes, that`s what i do!
