What I think....

Those of you who know me, know I have little if any regard for the 'Gorean' scene. I live and let live. I've read the books. As a strong minded female, I thought them extremely sexist...and I wondered about John Norman's metal state. I also wonder what he'd think of the little books he wrote and what became of them.

Maybe he'd strip off and jump right in - maybe he'd roll his eyes and groan. Who knows.

I do not see the attraction in it. Its like sciencetology for bdsm. I'm not saying that I'm sitting here laughing at the people who practice either thing. I know people who are one or the other. I like them....I respect them. I just can't see taking and making a lifestyle or a religion from out of a book. Both guys were sci-fi writers fergoshsakes.....

Should I go into witness protection now? That is bound to piss some people off.

Now, just to put myself where they can point fingers at me and snicker....I find that I have strong leanings towards the Victorian/Edwardian era in England. I also am completely fascinated with the Scottish Highland culture...particularly the Scottish men.

If I were male and into all this 'honor, loyalty and whatever of the Gor world', I think I could do no better than to take the Scots way of life as a pattern. There is much to admire. True warriors, fierce but gentle, sentimental but also proud. Clannish, which made all of them your extended family. Women were just as the men, stood just as tall and worked twice as hard. I'd rather make myself a clan than to be a 'house of'. Unless its the House of High Humour.....my own particular seasoning...

Ok, I said IF. If I were going to do all this fantasy stuff..... I'd be a Scottish clan. Its real and I wouldn't have to make up stuff as I went along.

OR..........

I'd look more into this Victorian/Edwardian thing. Very proper, very traditional.

Or....I think I'd go Japanese. Talk about your traditions...your honour, your clan AND your loyalty!!! Except that women were not all the powerful......mostly. There were samurai women. Look it up, I'm not making this up. They didn't do battle, but being able to wear armor does not a samurai make.

Remember, I said IF.

IF I were to form a 'house, clan, whatever' Those are the models I'd base it on.....and I lean really tight toward Japanese. Who are more fierce? Who were more artistic? Who had more honor? Who had more strict guidelines? Who had more grace? Beauty, purity?

And they were real....still are real............

However, the point of this is moot and we'll moot it later. Perhaps, I dunno. I don't know that I'll ever form a 'house or clan'. I like to beat people. I like to punish them. I like to give them what they want and make them suffer for it.

'nuff said

Spring madness

My madness is over. I don't want to be married. Well, not unless he is insanely rich, indulgent and wills me everything. Then, I'll consider it.

Maybe.
