Oh no that's only when attending military events within in the system.

For me casual attire is like a tucked in shirt, top button done up, upturned collar with 19th centure tie, waistcoat, jacket, overcoat, formal trousers, dress shoes and spats on those shoes.

That is way to formal for me. Give me a T-shirt and some jeans or shorts any day.

And forget those top buttons... I like to be able to breathe thanks.

Way too many clothes. I'd be burning up with all that on.

Seriously? Umm I agree with the others. T-shirt, jeans or shorts, and if I have to wear a button up I am not doing the top buttons. You're a good one, cuz I'd feel like I was about to burst into flames.

Why in the world would you wear that many clothes? Why not just wear PJ's?

Unfortunately I'm rooted in tradition and the past and I wish we could live in the world of yester-year which only exists in the brains of us neo-bolsheviks.

That and I play far too much civ for my own good. And my political tendencies have really dug into me. So I tend I treat everyday like I'm going to be rushed to a political rally.

And if you're if I get hot...nothing is considered hot when you brave the temperatures of Siberia and the Antarctic.

That and I've also mastered the art of making Greek Fire so temperatures no matter how extreme don't bother me. If you don't know what Greek Fire is it's fire...that burns on water.

And water ignites it.

What in the world is a neo-bolshevik?
What era are you from?

I'm not quite sure what you mean by playing civ, but I understand the need to be ready for formal occasions at any time when you're caught up in politics or a political figurehead yourself

No, you'll be freezing your ass off instead.

It's a Bolshevik who's new. Or a modern day communist that follows traditional Bolshevik/Marxist/Proletarian Dictatorship school of thought. Basically I believe that if we were to have a benevolent dictatorship everything would be better. And a benevolent dictatorship is a dictatorship where the person in charge is really kind and honest and fair and in-corruptible and a socialist.

Anything pre-20th century. I too relate to a lot of aspects of the pre-post war era but after that you've lost me. The post-war era and mainly today is just to free-spirited and free-market liberal for me.

Civ is the shorter version of Sid Meier's Civilisation v. A grand strategy game where you have to forge a civilisation that will stand the test of time in a world filled with threats at every corner....or you can just max out the Honour social policy tree, build up a huge armour and take over the world during the Classical era and the get the domination victory. It's your choice, as long as you have the most delegates in the World Congress you've pretty much won the game. But yeah, I am very deeply involved with the Government of Oceania...then again I am practically the Government of Oceania.

Yeah it's just it's sort of changed my temperature system to the point that it's difficult to feel heat.

Keep trying, you'll get there eventually, just don't wash your hands when using it...I had to figure that out the hard way after getting duped into visiting some live fantasy RPG thing. On the plus side I did give those cos-players a real fright when one of them tried to put it out with water. No one got hurt...well I got deep partial second-degree burns, good thing there was that sand garden near by. And actually the burns weren't that painful, it felt like someone was pressing down on my hand but wasn't traditional burning sensation, it was like that at first but once reached the deep stage it went to discomfort.

I'm really upset at the moment. Viola's brother is a really annoying (censored). Sorry to swear, but I'm really pissed off! He's been nothing but a nuisance all afternoon and he pushed me to my limit. I bopped him on the forehead with the house phone. He then takes Viola's cell phone, unlocks and starts going through her Skype and Kik messages, both of which are private. He would only give it back once he received an apology. I refused to apologize. I'm done with tolerating his little infuriating behavior. The others forced me to apologize and he refused to accept saying I twisted what happened when I told Viola's father about it, which I did not. Everyone else says I did, but I did not twist facts.

sorry to hear you're having a crappy day, Cynthia. going through someones private messages is way worse than smacking them in the head imo. how would he like it if Violet read his stuff? its not very big of him not to accept the apology as well even if he was annoyed or whatever, that seems like really childish to me. idk, just my two cents.

i could use a hug
some days are just tiring for no good reason. they just are.
its time for hot chocolate. anyone here wants to join me in drinking hot chocolate?
thats almost like a hug, right?

we'll join you in a drinking chocolate birdsong. sounds like rubbish days all round today

I've been having an interesting day. Yesterday I told my husband that he's never actually seen "me" since I'm the ANP and not the core who identifies with the body. He knows I'm not the core, so that wasn't surprising, but he was shocked that he's never seen "me". I have a pinterest board where we post images and pictures of what everyone thinks they look like, but "I" have avoided that. I feel too shy, too humble and too exposed. Hubby has asked me to think about sharing how I think I look and I want to, but I feel very nervous. Will I live up to his expectation? Will seeing a different "me" cause him to feel differently about me? He really likes that pinterest board because it helps him get a better feel for who he's dealing with. I'm still just so nervous. I'm wishing for a lot of courage right now. Plus it's 112 outside today, so it's just generally hot and miserable locally. Everyone (inside) feels really drained just from going to our group therapy today. Yuck. Still, all in all, it's been a very stable day with more cooperation than switching, which makes me (a control freak) very happy.

I completely agree. He is her twin so they reconcile quickly. I don't know how they do it. They can be mad at each other one minute and within the hour, be laughing and talking like nothing happened. It's strange.
