I'm bored?

I'm bored is the usual cry you hear from children but what is boredom?
One way of looking at is spare time to which you haven't found something that holds your interest to do.

That can be for a variety of reasons such as limited imagination - you fail to visualize something you could do - that may involve others or where say the adventures maybe in a book or tv show are such that they'd take a hold in your so that for you at that point they taken on real emotions.

That was one reason I liked to hear stories read at school with all that vocalization.

Another reason for some is sadly they fail to see others in that they can't relate to them in social settings so working on some joint activity just doesn't happen.

They either do everything by themselves or failing that just sit doing nothing waiting for something to happen where just maybe someone might invite them.

Certain times of the year sometimes have a saddening affect and for sure the onset of the Winter is one when it's cold to play, natural daylight is limited and ice sometimes cause the groan ups to call off going round to your friends.

I've always liked doing things with others and boarding school was really good cos well we all were still at school after lessons to do stuff before evening meals and lights out.

If you changed the jersey of the girl on the right of the picture to red, that was very much a Joanne style of play running around the playground!!!!

Out of school attire for me

 

If there is a point regarding my presentation between Junior and being more mid teen or older, then in so many ways this is it, not being so far removed from some of things I was experimenting with two years ago.
The knitted top is very much me as I like knitwear that has patterns by they plaid like this one or say more motif ones like Liquorice Allsorts that were popular a few years back that you might wear with say crop top or something underneath rather than to display a blouse.
Red is a perfect match for my complexion.
The skirt is right too being more a pleated skater style simulated leather one which has enough of the younger kittenish bits in for me.
It's not school girl but it can be out of school time attire for me.

A word from the Big Girl to the one within

A recent dialogue between my adult (BG) and Little (LG) sides

BG: Hello there my friend
LG: Oh Hi. How are you you today?
BG: Oh I'm okay, just keeping an eye out for you  now. And you?
LG: I'm good. Actually I haven't felt better for many a year since I've been allowed out earlier in the year thank you
BG: That's good. I was worried about how you'd cope after all that time cooped up but you surprised me.
LG: I did??? You trusts me now?
BG: Hey, little girl I trust you. You've got brains and spirit it's just you had taken that long rest and I thought you'd be out of practise that's all.
LG: I think I learn a few things from you.
BG: Aww that's really sweet of you. Have you done anything different recently?
LG: I've been reading story books a lot. You learn heaps from books.
BG: That's true. I hear some of these books are similar to those I remember.
LG: I think so. I liked the school stories by Enid Blyton a lot and that Storytime book with the picture of the girl with a candy-striped dress walking her dog plus a boy on the cover.
BG: That's not so surprising is it as you're a schoolgirl after all and they're about your World.
Tell me who leads in that picture on the front of the other book?
LG: The boy with his book. I like that.
BG: That's interesting. You are his equal but you know what? Boys can use their extra strength to keep girls like you safe. If he were real would you like that?
LG: Yes I would.
BG: Good girl. Boys, unlike what your unkind sisters say can be kind, gentle people who'll look after you. It's called chivalry.
LG: I see.
BG: Have I told you I like how you look in your uniform?
LG: No.
BG: Then I will say it suits you perfectly, especially as I know you're 'all regulation' now and I also like your play clothes. You deserve a MERIT badge for how you've handled being out.

LG: Thank you ( * Hugs BG)
BG: It's good for you not to have to think too much about what to wear so you can just learn and go out and play without worrying about tearing dresses.
LG: I play now.
BG: I know and I want you to play as much as you can even if you get a bit dirty cos play is important for you. I think it helped you a lot this year.
LG: Aww after letting me play you wants me to do it more.
BG: That's right little girl. Thanks for talking with me and remember you're out now for good. Bye bye.

Cute underwear

Although you'd never of sneaked this past the school rules inspections we had way back then, these Hello Kitty knickers are awfully cute and would been on my wish list at the time and just are my kind of thing even now.

Children of Cherry Tree Farm

I grew up in the countryside in a small hamlet with just one store and public house that we spent summers outside drinking lemonade in when we weren't playing out  so it isn't that surprising I love stories about the kinds of communities I lived in.
Enid Blyton wrote three super books that deal with this topic that I adore.
We start with four children Rory (13), Sheila, Benjy and Penny - that's the youngest at 7 - who lived in London are sent to their Aunt Bess and Uncle Tim's farm, Cherry Tree Farm,as they were poorly to recuperate while their folks were on business in America.
It's an old country farm with thatched roofs and little mechanization.

They learn about country life and lore encountering Tammylan a person who understands about looking after animals and explains the them all about different species and their role in the countryside. For the period this novel is set in Tammylan has enlightened views about the importance of the environment. The fresh air soon helps the children recover and also ignites their imaginations.
They learn about how farming families pull together and have a pleasant surprise as their folks upon returning decided too forgo their city life to return to farming.
The Children of Willow Farm and More adventures on Willow Farm are the stories of bringing a farm back to life, establishing new crops together with livestock as it is a mixed farm and the trails and tribulations of running the farm that the children increasingly learn to do for themselves.
The children learn about being responsible, working as a team and dealing with disappointments.
What I love about these books isn't just the story about the children it's how carefully information about wildlife and farming practise is slipped into the book so you learn about the basics of agriculture and making things like milk, cheese and cream!

Are there advantages of being ALG?

After our last Teen Beat special, I wish to return to an interesting topic  around those of us  who are Adult Little Girls and in particular those who take part in forum discussions and the like.

I haven’t really addressed this before but one thing that struck me about our groups especially at GT, is what an array of talents we happen to have in our midst, from artists, seamstresses, writers of fiction, people who in are Engineering, the Sciences and so on.

One does wonder about how much society actually gains from people like us who use childlike, non-linear thinking as well as problem solving to come up with solutions over our more regular colleagues and friends.

It wasn’t me but someone known well to this blog who remarked that thinking about the hundreds of people they’ve worked with and groups and forums they themselves have interacted with finds this group (at GT) having an unusually high percentage of   greater intelligence, wit, imagination, creativity compared with others.

Put like that, personally having been in a number of forums including TG ones and worked with a number of people in different fields, that’s how it comes over to me too.

I do wonder if  being inclined to think outside of adult boundaries and the social need self-censoring ones thoughts,  because we are childlike so never stopped doing so, you remain more open to possibilities exploring them?

Maybe this might answer the question “Do we have a role to play in society?”

Spankies for sissies

Much of the talk around spanking has been more from the little or school girl direction on this blog which is just fine but there are other contexts where it may come into play like being more overly sissy dressed in your frills.

You may get then if you didn't address your dominant appropriately or that perhaps to remind you that you're lower down the picking ordering which instance your frillies are heading due south and a suitable implement such as a hairbrush will be making an impression on you.

However you try to wrap this thing up, strangely enough you seems to enjoy it contradictions and all.
