stevenaia Michinaga: Are those new shoes?
Korel Laloix: Good... Had these for a couple of years.
Korel Laloix: Just normally not in a way to see them...smiles
stevenaia Michinaga: lolso much for me being observant
Korel Laloix: I only have three pair of shoes in SL...
stevenaia Michinaga: I think I have too many so I don;t wear any
Korel Laloix: This is just an alluring pose I think....
stevenaia Michinaga: :)
Korel Laloix: Sad.. I have thought how I could use this on in RL... grins
stevenaia Michinaga: the pose?
Korel Laloix: Yes

--BELL--

stevenaia Michinaga: :)
Korel Laloix: lol.. yes I am that shallow.
stevenaia Michinaga: hehe
stevenaia Michinaga: I has a lovelyday with friends, Freiend roommate from Argentina has never been to NYC, so he and his roomate met us there for the day, they were spending a few days there, he was amazed
Korel Laloix: Never been there.
stevenaia Michinaga: they are from Montreal, he is getting his masters in Music there.
stevenaia Michinaga: if you ever do get to NYC, let me know and I can meet you
Korel Laloix: Would love to get up there when I can.
Korel Laloix: That sounds great...
stevenaia Michinaga: give you the day tour'
Korel Laloix: I know Sama wants to get up there for a week of shows.
Korel Laloix: Thanks for the offer.
stevenaia Michinaga: it's like SL, unimaginable in some respects
Korel Laloix: I have heard that used to describe Reservations as well.
stevenaia Michinaga: yes, they are going to Lincoln Center for music tonight, spent the day at the museum
stevenaia Michinaga: that they are like SL?
Korel Laloix: lol.. Lincoln as almost a dirty word in some of my circles RL.
stevenaia Michinaga: nods
Korel Laloix: That most people have not idea of waht they are like.
stevenaia Michinaga: not sure why it was named that, I;m sure he had nothing to do with it
Korel Laloix: Maybe named after?
Korel Laloix: Does not matter really.
stevenaia Michinaga: although the plaza outside the MET museum was funded by one of the Kock Brothers, a dirty word in my circles
Korel Laloix: lol.. interesting the prejudices we lock on to.
Korel Laloix: Had a strange evening of that.
stevenaia Michinaga: lol... from the web: “Lincoln” in Lincoln Center is a ... bizarre that there is no record of why it was named Lincoln Square.
stevenaia Michinaga: .. listens
Korel Laloix: Sama got invited to a dinner party... so we went.. and they were not expecting a lez couple.. so we ended talking way too much about the subject... just odd the perceptions.
Korel Laloix: Weird how people you can know for years and so freak out.
Korel Laloix: bgrb
stevenaia Michinaga: yes, creapie
stevenaia Michinaga: ok
Korel Laloix: Not really creapie.. just odd with the nieve questions... brb
Korel Laloix: Back
stevenaia Michinaga: wb
Korel Laloix: It is just strange sometimes.
Korel Laloix: lol
Korel Laloix: Usually in a fascinating way if nothing else.
stevenaia Michinaga: yes, Iwas it ignorance or curiosity or both
Korel Laloix: Both.
stevenaia Michinaga: ir their own insecurity
stevenaia Michinaga: or
stevenaia Michinaga: all of witch I usuaally find sadly humorous
Korel Laloix: The worst are teh people desperate to have a non-straight friend so they can sound more .. not sure the word... open or cosmo.
stevenaia Michinaga: awww, like... I know one of "those"
Korel Laloix: Or say they can say... bla bla bla my lesbian firend says.. bla bla bla
stevenaia Michinaga: nods
Korel Laloix: it is just odd and sometimes funny.
stevenaia Michinaga: nods.. and sad
--BELL--
Korel Laloix: The thing is.. I can take ignorance.
Korel Laloix: The ones that are the worst are the elitist ones that just want to be able to say they have a friend... lol
stevenaia Michinaga: true, but it;s a fine line between ignorance and stupidity
Korel Laloix: I still don't know how to deal with it sometimes.
stevenaia Michinaga: you can always point it out
Korel Laloix: It can get a bit scarey with some of the more psycho responses.
stevenaia Michinaga: oh?
stevenaia Michinaga: like what?
Korel Laloix: The idiots that think they can demand Sama and I sleep with them..
stevenaia Michinaga: oy!
stevenaia Michinaga: and these are friends?
Korel Laloix: YOu know.. because lesbian couples really want a man to feel complete??????\?
Korel Laloix: Oh heck no.
stevenaia Michinaga: hahaha
Korel Laloix: Just people we run into.
stevenaia Michinaga: nods
Korel Laloix: Being not-straight is sometimes just so painful.. never can figure out why people think this is a choice.
stevenaia Michinaga: I think that falls under the theme of ignorance
Korel Laloix: And that is the response I usually go with.. I outline all the ways life is complcaited this way. Sometimes I think people understand.
stevenaia Michinaga: shall I not post this log or is it ok?
Korel Laloix: Sure.. frustrations I have mentioned before.
stevenaia Michinaga: no one ever asks why I am straight... or if being jewish is a choice, I just am
stevenaia Michinaga: for some perhap, but we are what we are
Korel Laloix: The thing is, I don't mind that sort of question.. if meant out of genuine curiosity.
stevenaia Michinaga: nods
Korel Laloix: Becuase, really.. we are such a small part of the population...
stevenaia Michinaga: it;s the lnability to accept what "others" are , that is the dificult thing for many
Korel Laloix: And just like I can't find a part of me to find men attractive... I can understand how a straight person would find being attracted to the same sex as being not understandable.
stevenaia Michinaga: or, just accept it... and move on
Korel Laloix: The thing is though, I don't have a need to be accepted, I prefer to be just left alone..
Korel Laloix: That is why it is in my opinion nicer to be lez in a red neck state than a big city...
Korel Laloix: IN big cities, people do you the favor of accepting you.... lol.. frown
stevenaia Michinaga: that is what I mean, they should just accept you for what you are
Korel Laloix: IN places like here, people really just stay out of yoru busines..
stevenaia Michinaga: hmm, certainly less interesting I suppose
Korel Laloix: Maybe just diferent perspectives.
--BELL--
Korel Laloix: Just frustrating sometimes... when it is not amusing... smiles
stevenaia Michinaga: nods... our differences add a bit of richness to life
stevenaia Michinaga: if you can take it
stevenaia Michinaga: :)
Korel Laloix: lol.. Sama and I have that conversation almost all the time.
Korel Laloix: Not sure we could be froem more differnt backgrounds.
stevenaia Michinaga: yes, people judging others is universal
Korel Laloix: I think people are more surprised we are a couple more than a lesbian couple... lol
stevenaia Michinaga: *yet
Korel Laloix: We are just sooooo different.
Korel Laloix: Not sure why we work.. but so far... more happy now than I have been in my life.
stevenaia Michinaga: I think the differences as well as the similarities is why I have been with the same person for 35 years... everyday we still laugh
Korel Laloix: Exactly.
Korel Laloix: The good thing though is that every time I come accross a new sort of hostility, I learn how to deal with it.
Korel Laloix: Not pleasant, but I learn so I can't complain.
stevenaia Michinaga: that will go far
stevenaia Michinaga: first step to acceptance, get annoyed
Korel Laloix smiles.. I do the annoyance far better than being annoyed...
Korel Laloix: I lot of people just find me disconcerting, not even including the the les thing.
Korel Laloix: Enough whining for the day... smiles
Korel Laloix: Thanks for the chat... off to bed.
stevenaia Michinaga: hehe, yes, it;s time
stevenaia Michinaga: night
Korel Laloix: Take care ...
Korel Laloix: Ciao
stevenaia Michinaga: you too
