Nina's Diary
April 3, 2012
Tuesday Thoughts…
One would think that after everything Nina's been through, school would be the last thing she'd need. But, nope – her father wants her to continue her schooling (albeit school in the GUI is a bit different from school as Nina knew it.) And, not only is she going to school, but she's learning Cliste Galad (the Fems martial art) – and she's still drawing. Methinks that particular talent may take her places… places she didn't think she'd ever see…
Check out what she's up to… http://xviseries.blogspot.com

Mostly Monday… keeping up with Nina…
As you probably know (from Twitter, Facebook, & the links on the right side of this blog) – Nina's keeping a diary of her life after Truth. Well… she's totally without pictures to remind her of her friends – and has no way to get any. So, this week she's on the information systems (i.e. the internet) looking for pics that remind her of home. Today she's found someone who reminds her of Chris…
What do you think? Check it out here (on tumblr http://www.tumblr.com/blog/xviseries or here (http://xviseries.blogspot.com) Let me know in the comments if he's anything like what you pictured Chris to be! 
And, be sure to follow Nina's Diary (but only if you've read Truth!) She'll be writing Monday through Friday at http://xviseries.blogspot.com

Nina’s on Tumblr, too…
Of course she’ll have pictures and drawings and then there are those people who remind her of other people & her life in Chicago… http://xviseries.tumblr.com/

Thought on Tuesday…
In XVI, one of the ways the government controls people is by keeping track of them. Children have tracking chips inserted in them, in case – you know – someone might kidnap them. (Sound reasoning, right?) Except, when they come of age they're encouraged (bullied, scared…) into keeping them – "just in case."
XVI's not so far from this interesting development… is it?

The ways in which society mirrors XVI, now…
Every time I read an article like this http://news.yahoo.com/blogs/cutline/v... I want to point it out to those few who seemed to think that XVI was too far-fetched of a premise… girls being programmed from a young age by society and the media to look a certain way.
I will continue to blog about more seemingly-outrageous-but-real examples that indicate we are not so far from the societal clock turning back to a time when women were only valued for their looks and their sexuality.
Do you really think it couldn't happen?
