Sticking with me.

This list that I posted just a few minutes ago (but copied down two days ago - I just forgot to publish the post) had a gorean list of slave "rules" (i'd say they seem more like guidelines to me) to live by. I only scanned them originally, but they really stuck with me the past few days. I've chuckled to myself as they came to mind during a conversation with my master, and I wanted to talk with him about it, but realized i hadn't published it yet so i couldn't.  Anyway, here's the list again.

http://www.gor.net/things/Basics.html Basic slave rules, as follows:

• Slave Rule One -All Freepersons are to be addressed as either Master or Mistress. If the sex of the Freeperson can not be determined from the name, Master is to be used until the gender is clarified.
•  Slave Rule Two - Serve Every Master or Mistress as if your well being depends on being pleasing.......it does.
•  Slave Rule Three - While a Freeperson may not always be right, they are, by definition, never WRONG. Slaves always have the last word in any disagreement..the words "Yes, Master"...
•  Slave Rule Four - Jealousy and Possessiveness have killed more slaves than disobedience.
•  Slave Rule Five - Slaves do not use the first person pronoun. There is not "I", "me" or "mine" in a slaves vocabulary.
•  Slave Rule Six - Perfection of Service and Submission is the goal, mere excellence will be tolerated.
•  Slave Rule Seven - Your collar carries the honor of your owner. Your attitude can make is as light as a feather or as heavy as a mountain.
•  Slave Rule Eight - If there are none requiring service, use the time to clean, cook, bake, practice serving techniques with your sisters or learn about Gor. Do not be idle.
•  Slave Rule Nine - Slaves possess nothing not given to them by their owner, including their name. What is given can be taken away. If you are entrusted to carry a name for an owner, or silks or jewelry, remember that these can be removed as easily as they were given.
•  Slave Rule Ten - The merest whim of your owner is your highest law. And lawbreakers are punished.

The end of rule 3, Slaves always have the last word in any disagreement..the words "Yes, Master..." came to mind when we were arguing with each other over something stupid today, and He told me to start acting like a slave. I was glad he didn't see me grin as I headed out the door to walk the dog. It might have been taken the wrong way, since we were arguing. It meant a lot to me though, because some of these guidelines have insight, and help me think about things a little differently. It helps me remember that i am supposed to be respectful of my Master, even when I am angry. 

Rule 4 came to mind when Master was on the phone with Carly. Jealousy and Possessiveness have killed more slaves than disobedience. It is so hard to trust my Master not to forget me, and to not be jealous of His time and energy. 

Rule 7 sat on my mind the other day, when we weren't speaking to each other for an hour or so. Your collar carries the honor of your owner. Your attitude can make is as light as a feather or as heavy as a mountain. If I have an issue, it is my attitude that needs to change. I will always be my Master's slave, regardless of how I feel about it, and I should never resent His ownership. 

I think that several of these guidelines are smart, and well thought out. I hope that my Master finds these useful as well. 

I forgot to blog last night, and was given an opportunity to blog this morning but I forgot again. I'm sorry. 

Yesterday, We had a successful maintenance day. Master made promises to me, and has kept them. It means so much to me. He slept in bed with me last night. He hasn't been drinking soda after 4:00 PM, and He promises to walk the dogs with me when it is dark. 

Went to paint pottery with my mom and nana today. Found out my Nana's birthday is the same day as our play party. I just hope she doesn't have the party on her birthday.
