ic notes and random gab

Oi, is the crazy lady done ranting yet? That was a hell of a mood killer.

Anyway, Day....two technically, I guess? Got this thing to translate into something I can read, which is decent. Anyone out there wanna spare like...ten minutes and help me figure out this messed up glyph system you've got going? I'm sure we can figure out an...appropriate trade.

Not about to leave someone without compensation. That's just rude.

I'd like to ask about something. I've arrived here from 1940, and my family and immediate community are very traditionalist for the time. Old-fashioned, you might say. When I was growing up, I was very often told that I couldn't do things because I was a girl. As I got older, I didn't let it stop me from following my ambitions, but I also got rather good at persuading and placating and otherwise winning round the men who told me I shouldn't. Men may be more suited to certain pursuits, but that doesn't mean women aren't capable of them at all. One has to be clever about it, that's all.

I don't see those attitudes here in Preya, for the most part. Certainly not on the telephone network. What I do see, however, is a level of crudity and disrespect that really does frighten me. I'm not so naive as to believe none of the men back home thought that way, but they at least had the decency not to share their thoughts with all and sundry. Aren't you terribly worried by it? And why do you think they do it, if they don't think that they are superior to women?

Suddenly a little howl doesn't seem so bad, huh.

So.Valentine's Day is coming up, wWho wants to be my Valentine?

According to the weather, the snow is out to get us, which might just happen before we're all forced to submit to a bird with bad fashion taste.

Supposing it's wisest to stay in and mind the weather and the threats of domination, but I'm a wee bit on the bored side and'd rather get knackered. Who's in for a 'round to the pub? Plus side, we get too snowed in and there's no better place to fortify for a bit, yeah?
