Well, it's been a busy week

[iam_angelam]

While some of you WA members were prancing around, comparing you hairdoes and speculating about who exactly blindfolded whom, some of us did some hard work.

First, I had the pleasure of seeing dear Nicolas again, this time as France's top man.

This is us sharing a little joke about how ridiculous wavy hair looks on politicians:

Not only do you not contend yourself with stealing ze credit for ze positive effect on Germany's economy zat my work of stimulating France's growth had, but now you are stealing my format for journal posts!

He never took me on a moonlit cruise down the Volga...

[iam_angelam]

How exactly would your tossing your hair in Paris affect he Ruhr indutry, may I ask?

You also never were President of the EU, neener neener neener.

[dominiquelechic]

My work on increasing French, and thus European, growth, had the greatest effect on the Ruhr industry since our invasion of ze place in 1923!

*rolls eyes*

You don't really expect me to answer to that kind of comment, do you?

[vlad_impaler]

Don't worry, my dear, it wasn't out of affection, it was merely standard courtesy. You know, it's always so surprising to find a woman who has lost her way out of the kitchen and into politics, you understand how we can't help but be a little confused. Would you like us to draw you a map so you can find your way back? Might be easier for you...

*smiles at direct insult* Now, now Angela, let's not start with who's uglier than who, shall we? Some of us don't have to wear an inch of foundation to make us look passable.

And really, I thought we agreed to be cordial, what did you want me to do besides theatre, sign away all my gas reserves? Dream on.

[iam_angelam]

I thought "Kinder, Kirche, Küche" was an adage we Communist or ex-Communist countries had forsaken?

At least I don't go around kissing people's hands.

You don't need to sign any reserves away - just telling us a few days before each of your little winter tantrums would be nice.

[vlad_impaler]

It's such an accurate saying, isn't it? And it just doesn't translate well into any other language. And don't forget, some of us ex-Communist countries have (re)converted to Orthodoxy... It still holds, but we'll forgive you for wanting to play with the big boys, you act almost like one of them, anyway. But we have to kiss your hand to keep not only you but all the other aspiring women in their place. They don't call it a man's world for nothing.

And if you had to live through a Russian winter, you'd understand the tantrums a little better. You Germans think that -15C is cold! *shakes head*

And please, PLEASE forgive me for having to write all this - being a radical feminist (if actual egalitarianism is considered 'radical') it _kills_ me to say all this, but it would be a little out of character if Vlad were any type of feminist... though he is having major personal crises due to his relationship with Dominique...

[iam_angelam]

My, my, I'd never have thought you'd admit we Germans are "accurate" - I presume the next step is to officially recognise our superiority, isn't it? Then you'll imitate us at last, and perhaps Russia will at last fare somewhat better once a woman is at its head.

No problem, I do understand that player and character are two different people! Sometimes Ségo makes me say things... well, you get the picture.
