Its good that you cherish Mariko. Even though she does not act like a typical japanese woman now.. I am willing to bet she's always had a fire a bout her. You can see it in her eyes, a glimmer... even when submitting she has this look of " i will not be broken" i love it.

and thank you for the comment about my age. To be honest.. sometimes around here I feel so un-intellectual... and like a lil kid playing in an adult world. I understand the D/s scene quite well I think... I am just naive sometimes and unexperienced in certain aspected of life... but in others I am well beyond my years. Its hard to feel... "adult" or like I blend in though.. sometimes... but I am trying. So thank you for your comment.. it means a lot
