*sighs and shakes my head*

You know something soshi, despite the growing dislike towards your attitude, I have always taken a more indifferant outlook towards you and at times even a favorable outlook towards you.
I think you can be quite funny and indeed appealing in your own way. I always faulted your owner for your less becoming mannors. But here I see you actually hiding behind his encouragments of poor behavior. meaning...My master likes me this way and tells me I can do it, so neener neener.
*frowns* Do you not see, how very childish that makes you appear? Sincerely, I have always regaurded you better then that. despite the fact, that others do not.
I have never said this to any sub/slave before in my life, but I am about to now.
I feel your *coughs* owner, does you no kindness and infact is a toxic influence on you.
For what it is worth, and Im sure it will not mean much to you, coming from me. But, I feel you could do so much better and I see in you a world of potential. I do not see you as worthless, what I see as worthless is your continuance in remaining with a male, such as the one who claims to be your owner.
Take my words as you like. insult or perhaps if you can open your mind an attempt at trying to appeal to your intelligence and the potential I sense dwells inside you.

Be well,
Mistress Maahsatti

Hey Sunshine,

I truly apologise...I definitely wasn't criticising rural folk in general.  Just the WT ones.

Apologies,

Greetings Masters, Mistresses, and girls,

*sigh*   Not sure what it is, but I can easily identify with soshi... especially when I was closer to her age (a few years back... *smiles*)...    for whatever reason, some people need to 'convince' themselves that they are so far superior to others, or somehow, others (parents/teachers/professors) have convinced them that they are.   In my case, a combination of both...    I was very intelligent, so mom, dad, teachers, etc... told me how much potential I had compared to my peers.    Yet, for some reason, I never really got along well with too many kids my own age, so I think internally I convinced myself that I was better than them... so it didn't hurt quite so much.

In any event, it took me a long while to figure out that I really wasn't better than anyone else.  I might be more educated... but that didn't mean I was smarter.   I might be smarter, but that didn't mean I had as much 'common sense' as someone else.   Everyone has their gifts, and just because theirs isn't the same as yours, doesn't mean that you are somehow superior.    I was once accused of being an elitist.... as a Christian, that was a scary thing to be called.... because if Jesus wasn't an elitist... and was able to humble himself and serve others... than there certainly was no reason why I should be an elitist, or why I should not feel comfortable in my desire to humble myself and serve others

Anyways, just thought I'd share those thoughts... for what they are worth... if anything.

Wishing everyone a pleasant weekend,
~sparklie

So now the questions is: If Norman meant it to be just a slave, why invent a different word for it? Just for flavor?
