ARANKAS GOING TO GO SEE TIGGER :P

If he wants to I wouldn't mind meeting up.
Melbourne is a big city though so not that easy to find each other or always convenient to do so.
I'm in the Clayton area for that matter in Melbourne near the Monash.

It only was sarcasm if you dont feel like a princess.

On the other hand making a girl feel, if not like a princess , but at least very special is kind of a qualty of mine.

Honestly, I am really disappointed in Aranka. I thought she was somewhat clever (in a very dumb way). This thread is really just appalling. I now consider Piggy, in his preliminary exhortation of "tits or gtfo", to be quite justified, if a little hasty.

It's still sexist, but Aranka deserved it. In this thread she's pretty much begging to be objectified. It's truly as pathetic as Piggy made her out to be.

It's disheartening to me because Aranka was a (possibly unintentional) figure of fun, but now there is nothing fun about her.

Is that the end of your little love story?

So can I now rightly assume I won't be stalked anymore ?? :O

How "foolish" of me :P

I actually don't understand why and how the saying "feel like a princess" came from.
It's supposed to imply you feel special or are made to feel special.

But............

Does this saying really make sense in any way ??
Going back to the time princesses and such were the story of legends we go back to the themes of the Romanticism in the 18th century.
THemes in which the middle ages were made to be more appealing then they actually were. The stories were made by men mostly for men with chivalrious knights.
The women in question, be it a princess or not, was mostly just a 2nd rate person and more often then not a damsel in distress.
She was married off to the one who would give her father political power or inadvertently married the one who would rescue her. Own choice in love was hardly an option at all.

Furthermore....what was the position of women, if at all, during those times ??
THe women, being a women, had virtually no rights of her own. She wasn't allowed to be rape not on the foundation of the trauma this would cause to her but more so on the implications this would have for the family honour. It would be "inconvenient" for them.
They also had no voting power nor say in any matter.
Once a princess was married to her prince she had to do what he said. She was an instinutionalized thing. Had to sleep with the prince when he wanted and was barely allowed outside of the castle premises. More often then not locked up in her rooms with her maids around her. These maids were also not chosen by herself in the multitude of times so maintaining friendships would also be hard.

Concluding I think being "like a princess" would actually be a horrible thing.

How often is a satire mistaken for its subject? How often does a mirror show a prediction instead of a reflection? But please, don't allow my lamentations to impede upon ... whatever you would prefer to call this.

This I think is called "Aranka's thread", Since the name is already mentioned in the thread I find it suprising you couldn't figure that one out by yourself.

And if we're acting on the topic of pseudo-science and annoying one-liners:
"Stupidity talks, vanity acts." <---according to men
"It's not vanity to feel you have a right to be beautiful. Women are taught to feel we're not good enough, that we must live up to someone else's standards. But my aim is to cherish myself as I am." <--- a women's perspective on "vanity"

You're a woman? Why didn't you mention that before now? Well, if you are a woman, then of course all your faults are immediately forgiven.

What ?? That has totally nothing to do with what I said before.

All I was implying is that I don't need to be approved by your standards. I do what I like doing myself, not what other people might like or want to see.
If you can't handle that I like to flame a bit and/or make threads to annoy people...so be it.

Doesn't mean I'll change my attitude because of it xD

aranka you're on vacation, why are you still checking WL

I'm on a "vacation" just on the premise of not being able to constantly check my games and make moves before the 2/3 day timer runs out.
I'm not on a vacation in the literal sense that I'm free of duties with regards to schoolwork.

I am indeed in Australia, but not for purposes of travelling around freely there to explore things but more so in order to do a research program here.

then why dont you concentrate on doing your doing your research program and liberate us from your posts for a few days? :)

Because her posts are full of awesomeness.

What Naomi said xD :)

BUMP (A)

So how are you finding the world's most liveable city?

It's quite expensive for starters.
Public transport and dining is all right. But local groceries and supermarkets are a pain.
Same goes for housing prices.
I'm not by any means from a poor family but I sort of was shocked at first about that.

Your challenge is too tough, you have to lower the number of warlighters showing their pics, than you
