Great minds, lisah. Great minds.
that's what I'm talkin' 'bout.
Zoe: I thought you wanted to spend more time off-ship this visit. Wash: Out there is seems like it's all fancy parties. I like our party better. The dress code is easier and I know all the steps.

All sorrows can be borne if you put them into a story. Tell me a story.

(No kittens were harmed in the making of this entertainment. They are acrobat kittens, and enjoy being juggled. Also, they are wearing capes.)

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I have a random question, unless you're me and my sister, in which case you should have mentioned something earlier. How rude.
Anyway -- she noted, in response to an anecdote I was telling her, that she finds eastern European men very forthright. Markedly forthright, but not in the sort of aggressive way that might get a western guy in trouble, somehow.
My experience with eastern European cultures is much smaller than hers, but as far as guys go, it doesn't contradict her at all. Have other people noticed this, enough to call it a cultural distinction? Does it extend to women too?

For Lilty's sake, I hope the kittens are declawed.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset
Also, they are wearing capes.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…

Yes to both counts, in my experience. Dunno why.

BWAH!

move out and draw fire
I've lived amongst Eastern European men and women for oh, 3 years or so, and I agree. Both men and women are very forthright, in ways that don't fly for Western Europeans/Americans. I definitely think it's a cultural distinction.
I finally posted most of my journals of the past few months on my website, and just put new baby pictures up in the Mallory Gallery [link]

I could link without comment, but where's the fun in that? I have to say, TomKat is providing some of the funnest snark in gossip rags. Beats Brad and Angelina, and J-Lo and whoever hands down.
I wonder why I know so few (can't think of any) eastern European women.
