some pictures taken while doing research on the our project

Below is the Transgender Lounge, where I met some transgender individuals and conducted the interview.

The second picture is a screen snapshot when I was Interviewing PJ.
Again, let's take a look at the Transgender Lounge.

[19:12] Ding Atolia: we introduce to each other our friends
[19:12] Susie223 Chun: sounds good
[19:12] Jessie Passerine: 1. Are you a transgender in real life? If yes, what kind of transgender?
[19:12] Susie223 Chun: Apart from the activities here, do you take part in other activities with people who are not transgender?
[19:13] Ding Atolia: yes, sometimes
[19:13] Ding Atolia: and we had fun
[19:13] Susie223 Chun: like what?

[19:13] Jessie Passerine: CD? TC? OR?
[19:14] Ding Atolia: like go singing or drinking
[19:14] Ding Atolia: things like that
[19:14] Susie223 Chun: I see
[19:14] Mi Shinn: is there something special about these activities?
[19:14] Mi Shinn: drinking and singing
[19:15] Ding Atolia: because i am not a transgender, so i cannot think of those sepcial activities
[19:15] Mi Shinn: you may wish to explore deeper into the answers
[19:15] Mi Shinn: because if you don't
[19:15] Ding Atolia: but i think in real interview, these questions are workable
[19:15] Mi Shinn: then your report will be dull and boring
[19:15] Ding Atolia: ok, so we can dig further
[19:16] Mi Shinn: ok
[19:16] Mi Shinn: keep up with your good work here
[19:16] Susie223 Chun: ok
[19:16] Jessie Passerine: do you like to wear males' outfit?
[19:16] Mi Shinn: these warm-up or ice-braking questions look good
[19:16] Mi Shinn: breaking
[19:17] Mi Shinn: kkep going
[19:17] Susie223 Chun: Are you led by others to come here or by yourself?
[19:17] Object: Touched.
[19:17] Ding Atolia: actually, i was told by a friend that i can have fun here
[19:17] Ding Atolia: so i come here
[19:17] Ding Atolia: and we really have fun.
[19:18] Mi Shinn: keep running your questions
[19:18] Jessie Passerine: in real life , do you find yourself different from the "normal"people? that is to say, do you have some interests or habits that others don't have?
[19:18] Susie223 Chun: so are you a transgender in real life?
[19:18] Mi Shinn: I will look around and see how other groups are doing
[19:19] Ding Atolia: no, i am not
[19:19] Mi Shinn: how's your role-playing?
[19:19] Mi Shinn: ruby
[19:19] Ding Atolia: i am here out of fun
[19:19] Susie223 Chun: then why do you choose to be transgender in SL?
[19:19] Susie223 Chun: out of fun or interest?
[19:19] Mi Shinn: both of you can run those questions together
[19:20] Susie223 Chun: ok
[19:20] Ding Atolia: I think it is fun
[19:20] Mi Shinn: then you can get a sense of it before you go to interview people
[19:20] Ding Atolia: and i'd like to meet people out of interest
[19:20] Susie223 Chun: i see
[19:20] Mi Shinn: did you start yoour questions?
[19:20] Susie223 Chun: What do you think about the present transgender situations in SL?
[19:20] Mi Shinn: Jessie?
[19:20] Mi Shinn: Ruby?
[19:20] Jessie Passerine: here~
[19:20] Ding Atolia: in SL, the environment is really great
[19:21] Mi Shinn: you need to role play and try to find out how those questions work
[19:21] Ding Atolia: much more freedom i think'
[19:21] Jessie Passerine: yes that is what we were doing
[19:21] Mi Shinn: what you might want to ajust
[19:22] Ding Atolia: and much more activities are conducted, and they actually many people
[19:22] Susie223 Chun: yes
[19:22] Mi Shinn: imagine that you are
[19:22] Susie223 Chun: that's true
[19:22] Mi Shinn: one can play the role of TG and the other the interviewer
[19:22] Susie223 Chun: and what do you think about the present transgender situations in RL?
[19:22] Jessie Passerine: maybe the quetions would be better justified if we ask TG in sl
[19:23] Mi Shinn: then you can change roles in the middle or at the end of the first set of questions
[19:23] Ding Atolia: well, even though we claim that we have broad minds today,
[19:23] Mi Shinn: just try to explore what answers you might have
[19:23] Susie223 Chun: yes?
[19:23] Ding Atolia: i don't think people in RL have already accept transgender
[19:23] Mi Shinn: and how to dig deeper into the issues/questions
[19:23] Ding Atolia: there are all kinds of discrimination existing
[19:24] Mi Shinn: sometimes you need to know when to ask further questions to enrich your report and information
[19:24] Ding Atolia: like they will be seen or talked as monsters
[19:24] Ding Atolia: abnormal
[19:24] Susie223 Chun: you mean as a transgender, it's easier for them to got more fun in SL
[19:24] Ding Atolia: yes, right
[19:25] Jessie Passerine: I think we need to know the response of the tg instead of just imaging
[19:25] Mi Shinn: yes
[19:25] Mi Shinn: sure
[19:25] Susie223 Chun: did you meet any difficultiy in SL
[19:25] Susie223 Chun: about your gender?
[19:25] Ding Atolia: in SL?
[19:25] Ding Atolia: well, let me think
[19:25] Mi Shinn: yes
[19:26] Ding Atolia: most time i had fun here
[19:26] Mi Shinn: but some students just failed bacause of no training and preparation
[19:26] Ding Atolia: but there's some time
[19:26] Jessie Passerine: so after the role play , the questions would be justified again if we ask the tg?
[19:26] Mi Shinn: but if you feel confident
[19:26] Mi Shinn: then go ahead
[19:27] Mi Shinn: it all depend on you
[19:27] Jessie Passerine: okay
[19:27] Mi Shinn: depends*
[19:27] Ding Atolia: i will feel arkward if i am around by many people
[19:27] Susie223 Chun: yes?
[19:27] Ding Atolia: but mostly they are out of courisity to ask me why i choose to be like this
[19:27] Mi Shinn: like I just mentioned last week
[19:27] Mi Shinn: some people don't care
[19:28] Mi Shinn: other people might think it is rude
[19:28] Ding Atolia: generally, i think in SL the situation is fine
[19:28] Susie223 Chun: then what’s your reaction towards those embarrassments?
[19:28] Ding Atolia: i will be myself
[19:28] Mi Shinn: it depends on who you meet
[19:28] Ding Atolia: enjoy myself

progress report 3- Report writing Editing, and Revising

This week, with all the information we collected, we started on the preperation of project presentation.The presentation is divided into these parts: Introduction of our project(Ruby),Methodology of our project(Jessie),Individual Interviews(Ruby, Susie, Sonny, Jessie), and conclusion(Ruby, Susie, Sonny, Jessie).
And I summerized my part of work as follows:
Methodology:
We adoptted the method of individual interviews.According to previous knowledge on trangender groups, we know that there are all types of TG groups: transexual,crossdresser,transvestite and so on. We suppose that different types of people have different use on secondlife, and went on individual interviews to see how do they use secondlife,what are their daily activities, how do they see secondlife. on the issue of transgender atomosphere: whether secondlife has provided a more open envioronment for them, whether secondlife is a paradise for tansgender groups?
We have four members in our group, each of us interviewed several different transgender individuals in secondlife.The places we go to are mainly dance bars, transgender clubs and organizations.There we met different people with different backgrounds and personal experiences.Before going on the interview, we have had an assumption on the subject and a set of questions.In their answers, we found their opinion goes very much to what was assumpted.In the following part, each of us will carry out some of our interviews and finally reach the conclusion.

Jessie’s part:
In my case, I interviewed two crossdressers,which means the people who like to wear the clothes of the other sex., and two transexual individuals, which means people who usually describe themsevles as put into the wrong body by god and have most quality of the other sex. These interviwees are all biologically male.
Here comes the first part, crossdressers.
Bobby Blackcinder is a crossdressing male in RL, a female in SL. He is married and love women's clothes, especially, he wears women’s underdress everyday.He said that I’m afraid of being found of wearing women's underdress, because it would be hard to work.”But they can’t fire me. I’m a boss,”he said. Bobby have some fun with other people in SL, but not many CDs that aren't Transgender.He spend a lot of time in SL everyday. In SL,he dress just as he likes and explore the feminine side that he didn't realize I had much of.
Here are some of his quotations: I see myself as both a male and a female. I've had many years of presenting male, but realize I have many females traits not that I'm in SL
I wanted to use a male body in SL, and dress it in woman's clothes.
In SL ,lots of pretenses dropped.,like being macho and dominate attitudes, although I don't think that was a major part of my presence.

Jaiden LeShelle is a bisexual male in rl and cross dresses secretly, in second life, his avatar is a sexy female. He mentioned his experience of being seen dressed in female panty. We pretended it was a dare but I am pretty sure we both new. it was awkward for sure, but neither one of us did anything to suppress it.
As for the way of using sl, here comes some of his quotations.Just a way to act out, and share. Not to meet though probobly more with dynamics than anything though. I have rarely come across anyone close to me in a regional sense mostly just looking for new friends and keeping up to date with current ones
He sees sl life as a place more open on the issue of gender, here he can be more free to be himself instead of hiding from others’ sight. Here he can talk about his interest freely and can try all kinds of girls’ outfit as he wishes, which was difficult in rl, and as Jaiden said, it is what makes sl such a good fantasy.

Here comes the transexual individuals.
Alexis has got a male body in real life, but he does not see himself as a male but a female.When I asked Alexis this question that do you act like a girl, this individual is a little annoyyed and replyed me” I’m a girl but you say that I act like a girl.” In realife, few people know that Alexis has got a male body. She wears the outfit of feamle, and behaves in the female way.The avatar of Alexis is a beautiful female,and sl is used to meet new people,have some recreation like going to dance bars.Alexis mentioned that she is very careful in realife in order not to be found out, because in her country transgender groups are treated very badly.Although Alexis feel much more free in sl, she still mind her words, in case her identity in realife would be found out.

PiJee Spitteler is bilogically male and is bisexual.In sl,his avartar is a she-male,”a girl with a dick”.IN rl, he dresses like a boy, and sometimes he wear panties if he’s all alone at home to feel girly.
PiJee said that he is more like a girl than a boy, and his friends say so,too.When it comes to who to date, he doesn’t quite care about sex or gender.
About surgery, here’s his quotation.the first thing in mind would be to dress as a girl and look like one for a couple of times, if I like it, and if I really feel that I'm blossoming, then I might decide to have surgery.
in using sl, here comes some quotations from pijee. most of the time I wander around Domming people, mostly girls, or shemales, and other than that, I'd like to shop.
He sees sl a place much more open and free on gender. He said that well the one thing I experience her in SL is that people don't seem to care whether I'm a boy in RL or girl. They treat me as a girl. And friendships are well hard sometimes if they figure out the true gender.They would dissolve friendship pretty much.. but they're in the minority.
Here’s another quotation from PJ.I'm a boygirl remember? but I wouldn't care really, I am who I am.

[02:25] PiJee Spitteler: some rl friends of mine have said to me that they actually don't see me as a boy, but really as a girl.
[02:25] PiJee Spitteler: If I tell you that I look at women to think of "if I would be her, what would I wear differently in her place?" what would you come to think of it?

[02:36] PiJee Spitteler: but most of them were with girls.
[02:36] Jessie Passerine: do you see yourself as bisexuale?
[02:36] PiJee Spitteler: most likely yes
[02:38] Jessie Passerine: ic.. do you think sl can be more open and fun that rl on the issue of gender?
[02:38] PiJee Spitteler: yes
[02:38] Jessie Passerine: can you give me any other examples?
[02:38] PiJee Spitteler: of what precisely?
[02:40] Jessie Passerine: anything related to trangender...for example, frienship,love affair, and daily activity
well the one thing I experience her in SL is that people don't seem to care whether I'm a boy in RL or girl. They treat me as a girl. And friendships are well hard sometimes if they figure out the true gender...
[02:43] Jessie Passerine: what would they say or do if they figure out?
[02:44] PiJee Spitteler: dissolve friendship pretty much
[02:45] Jessie Passerine: wow... that means they still care about your gender in rl
[02:45] PiJee Spitteler: some of them do
[02:46] PiJee Spitteler: but they're in the minority
[02:46] Jessie Passerine: ic... have u met any transgender friends in sl?
[02:47] PiJee Spitteler: a couple yes
[02:48] Jessie Passerine: do you take some activities together?
[02:49] PiJee Spitteler: we talk a lot but apart from that, no other activity
[02:52] Jessie Passerine: ic... would you be afraid of being found out you are a transgender in rl?
[02:53] PiJee Spitteler: I'm a boy irl remember? but I wouldn't care really, I am who I am
[02:55] Jessie Passerine: wow~ cool~
[02:55] Jessie Passerine: XDD
[02:56] Jessie Passerine: So , have you ever go out in girls' dress?
[02:57] Jessie Passerine: in rl
[02:57] PiJee Spitteler: no, but that's my plan

Interviewee2: Jaiden LeShelle

[01:39] Jessie Passerine: can you explicit on that, or give me some examples?
[01:40] Jaiden LeShelle: well a good example is the conversation we are having now, this would not have occured in a rl situation\
[01:42] Jessie Passerine: i got it. how do you use sl as a crossdresser?
[01:42] Jessie Passerine: do you use it to meet some other crossdressers,for instance?
[01:44] Jaiden LeShelle: just a way to act out, and share. Not to meet though probobly more with dynamics than anything though. I have rarely come across anyone close to me in a regional sense
[01:45] Jaiden LeShelle: again a good example is our conversation, from Taiwan amazing your english is better the many here in the us
[01:46] Jessie Passerine: thx.XD ... i'm an english major

[01:48] Jaiden LeShelle: I am not here daily per say, mostly just looking for new friends and keeping up to date with current ones
[01:50] Jessie Passerine: Ic.. what is your favorite style in girls' outfit?
[01:52] Jaiden LeShelle: depends on my mood, from music to food it is the same I don;t play favorites either I like it its good or I don;t
[01:55] Jessie Passerine: ic.. so you will try all kinds of clothes on your avatar?
[01:56] Jaiden LeShelle: yes, it is what makes sl such a good fantasy
[01:56] Jessie Passerine: XD
[01:57] Jessie Passerine: Does anyone in rl know that you cross dress?
[01:57] Jaiden LeShelle: yes
[01:57] Jessie Passerine: who would that one be?
[01:58] Jaiden LeShelle: I have had a few close friends at times. I have had my experimentations
[02:00] Jaiden LeShelle: I have even gone out on my own, to clubs and such but not openly
[02:00] Jaiden LeShelle: something I have done for myself
[02:04] Jessie Passerine: what were the results of your experimentations?
[02:04] Jaiden LeShelle: as in ?
[02:04] Jessie Passerine: rl
[02:05] Jaiden LeShelle: I a, bi sexual for sure I have had sex with men if that is what you mean

[02:08] Jaiden LeShelle: ahh my 1st encounter, yes was with a close friend . We pretended it was a dare but I am pretty sure we both new
[02:10] Jessie Passerine: ah... you mean that was not an intended come out?
[02:12] Jaiden LeShelle: it was awkward for sure, but neither one of us did anything to suppress it
[02:12] Jaiden LeShelle: it just kind of happend

[07:53] Jessie Passerine: so what is the "part" you corss dress?
[07:54] Bobby Blackcinder: Underdress everyday, all lingerie
[07:54] Bobby Blackcinder: I love women's clothes
[07:55] Bobby Blackcinder: Oops, not while I'm at work
[07:55] Jessie Passerine: are you afraid of being found of wearing women's underdress?
[07:56] Bobby Blackcinder: Yes, only for the consequences beyond embarrassment
[07:57] Jessie Passerine: what would the consequece be like?
[07:57] Bobby Blackcinder: Hard to work even though they couldn't fire me
[07:59] Jessie Passerine: when you say hard to work, are you refferring to the way people would be looking at you?
[08:00] Bobby Blackcinder: yes, a lack of respect aferward
[08:00] Bobby Blackcinder: I'm a boss
[08:00] Jessie Passerine: XD haha~
[08:01] Susie223 Chun: that will be easier for you since you are not hired by someone
[08:01] Jessie Passerine: so , how will you use second life?
[08:01] Bobby Blackcinder: I'm no the top boss, but I have some employees that I'm in charge of.
[08:02] Susie223 Chun: I C
[08:02] Bobby Blackcinder: Dressing just as I like. exploring the feminine side that I didn't realize I had much of
[08:02] Bobby Blackcinder: exploring castles, dungeons, etc.
[08:02] Susie223 Chun: Do you often have fun with other people in SL?
[08:03] Jessie Passerine: other people who are into crossdressing maybe?
[08:03] Jessie Passerine: in SL
[08:04] Bobby Blackcinder: Yes I have some fun, but not many CDs that aren't Transgender.
[08:04] Bobby Blackcinder: Nnot that it matters much if they are TG or not.
[08:04] Jessie Passerine: ic.when you say exploring the feminine side, waht do you mean?
[08:05] Jessie Passerine: what activities especially?
[08:06] Bobby Blackcinder: hanging around with people and being as honest as possible.
[08:06] Bobby Blackcinder: I find out that I come across as female a lot.
[08:07] Bobby Blackcinder: I have to refer them to my profile to make sure they know I"m a RL male
[08:07] Bobby Blackcinder: I've been hit on a few times by mistake
[08:08] Jessie Passerine: so , how do you see yourself? much of a male or much of a female?
[08:09] Jessie Passerine: or both?
[08:09] Bobby Blackcinder: definitely both, I've had many years of presenting male, but realize I have many females traits not that I'm in SL
[08:10] Bobby Blackcinder: I didn't really catch on why I was different in RL
[08:11] Jessie Passerine: what are the female traits?
[08:11] Bobby Blackcinder: I love dresses by the way. ha ha
[08:12] Jessie Passerine: XD ~
[08:12] Bobby Blackcinder: personality. more submissive than I knew also
[08:13] Bobby Blackcinder: I figured out that in shopping catelogues, I was looking at the dresses more than the women
[08:13] Jessie Passerine: In real life you mean?
[08:14] Bobby Blackcinder: the sexiness of the clothing first, the sexy woman secondly. ha ha
[08:14] Jessie Passerine: haha~ I can see that ~
[08:14] Susie223 Chun: haa
[08:15] Bobby Blackcinder: I wanted to use a male body in SL, and dress it in woman's clothes, but i coulnd't alter the bodies and face good
[08:15] Jessie Passerine: just like what you want to do in RL?
[08:16] Susie223 Chun: So do you feel you are different in SL?
[08:16] Bobby Blackcinder: I made ugly people so I decided to go with a female body & face for others to look at.
[08:17] Bobby Blackcinder: Yes, and much different, lots of pretenses dropped
[08:17] Jessie Passerine: But your true desire is putting a male avatar into female clothes instead of using a female avatar
[08:18] Bobby Blackcinder: Only for honesty. I like looking at the female avatar
[08:18] Jessie Passerine: haha~
[08:18] Bobby Blackcinder: I figure I see it more than anyone else.
[08:19] Susie223 Chun: You mentioned that lots of pretense dropped just now
[08:19] Susie223 Chun: what kind of pretense?
[08:20] Bobby Blackcinder: being macho, dominate attitudes, although I don't think that was a major part of my presence
[08:20] Bobby Blackcinder: I couldn't help but pick some of it up over the years, so I assume that I do it.
[08:21] Bobby Blackcinder: act macho that is.
[08:21] Bobby Blackcinder: I actually find being with a bunch of macho males in SL is very uncomfortable, unpleasant
[08:21] Susie223 Chun: and you want to be honest at the same time
[08:21] Bobby Blackcinder: specially when they are hitting on the 'women'
[08:22] Jessie Passerine: will you be aroused by male body?
[08:22] Bobby Blackcinder: I don't know if I've met a lot of gay guys, cause I don't ask, but I hear they don't have that attitude often
[08:23] Bobby Blackcinder: Not at all, more repulsed than anything. I don't find them attractinve at all
[08:23] Susie223 Chun: Did you have any embarrasment with those males?
[08:24] Bobby Blackcinder: I find them funny in SL, usualy so very large and muscular, un likely in RL
[08:24] Susie223 Chun: haha
[08:24] Bobby Blackcinder: RL or SL?
[08:24] Susie223 Chun: exactly
[08:25] Jessie Passerine: both i suppose?
[08:26] Susie223 Chun: Do you think it's easier for you in SL than in RL？
[08:26] Bobby Blackcinder: Not really, they are just other guys in RL, somewhat ridiculous in SL
[08:26] Bobby Blackcinder: SL by a long shot. CD isn't even notable
[08:28] Jessie Passerine: why are they ridiculous in SL?
[08:28] Bobby Blackcinder: Did I understand that you two are students?
[08:28] Susie223 Chun: yes
[08:28] Jessie Passerine: Yes , and we are doing a research on transgender
[08:29] Bobby Blackcinder: Am I part of a thesis now? oh, you answered before I asked
[08:29] Susie223 Chun: haha
[08:29] Bobby Blackcinder: Is research in SL allowable, recognizable by professors?
[08:29] Jessie Passerine: yes, as it is asked
[08:29] Susie223 Chun: Yes,she led us to SL actually
[08:30] Bobby Blackcinder: Hi Carman
[08:30] Carmen Isodo: hi
[08:31] Bobby Blackcinder: busy today?
[08:31] Bobby Blackcinder: Carman?

[08:32] Susie223 Chun: Yuor friend
[08:32] Bobby Blackcinder: Not yet.
[08:32] Susie223 Chun: Your,I mean
[08:32] Bobby Blackcinder: I just greet everyone I meet, you never know until you talk to people.
[08:33] Susie223 Chun: that's true
[08:33] Jessie Passerine: good point
[08:33] Bobby Blackcinder: I seemed to have scared him off. and I didn't even tell him about your questions. ha ha
[08:33] Susie223 Chun: Oops
[08:33] Bobby Blackcinder: You can't tell what they are here, much less who.
[08:34] Jessie Passerine: so how much time do you spend in SL daily?
[08:35] Bobby Blackcinder: quite a lot actually, but very sporatic, i'm off an on continually.
[08:35] Bobby Blackcinder: this has been a long time in one stay for me.
[08:36] Bobby Blackcinder: but speakng of that, I have to take a bathroom brak.
[08:36] Bobby Blackcinder: That makes it hard to find a job in SL, I'm totally unreliable.
[08:36] Jessie Passerine: have you ever counted how many hours you spent daily in SL on average?
[08:36] Jessie Passerine: XD
[08:37] Bobby Blackcinder: No, I stop when I'm bored or tired, or more frequenlty, when I have things to do in RL
[08:38] Bobby Blackcinder: Well, I hope I helped you.
[08:38] Susie223 Chun: thanks~
[08:38] Bobby Blackcinder: by the way what are your preferences in RL and SL, you and Susie?
[08:38] Bobby Blackcinder: sexually, since you're studing TGs
[08:39] Susie223 Chun: female,haha
[08:39] Bobby Blackcinder: everything?
[08:39] Jessie Passerine: haha~ i'm trying all kind of styles in SL
[08:40] Bobby Blackcinder: female body, male partners wanted?
[08:40] Susie223 Chun: not on everything
[08:40] Bobby Blackcinder: Well I'm up for lesbianism if you are. ℓøℓ
[08:41] Susie223 Chun: I like girl's clothes
[08:41] Jessie Passerine: really? I'm studying feminism recently
[08:41] Bobby Blackcinder: Just their clothes Susie?
[08:41] Susie223 Chun: btu I want t work like a man,haha
[08:42] Bobby Blackcinder: This is the place to explore what you may have never thought of before, little consequences.
[08:42] Bobby Blackcinder: You are both females in RL right?
[08:42] Susie223 Chun: I adore girl's make-up,too,haha
[08:42] Susie223 Chun: yes
[08:42] Jessie Passerine: that's right
[08:43] Bobby Blackcinder: I haven't gotten into makeup yet in RL, but I'm anticipating it a lot
[08:43] Bobby Blackcinder: Not the learning part of it though, I don't have much confidence that I will be able to do it.
[08:43] Susie223 Chun: It'sworth trying,haha
[08:44] Bobby Blackcinder: being married, I don't have much of a chance to try it. she woulnd't approve
[08:44] Bobby Blackcinder: she's just trying to get used to my dressing.
[08:45] Bobby Blackcinder: I alway hid it well.
[08:45] Jessie Passerine: did she know that before you are married?
[08:45] Susie223 Chun: Oops,that's a pity
[08:45] Bobby Blackcinder: now I'm testing her reactions,
[08:45] Bobby Blackcinder: No she didn't , I dressed long before I met here, purged a few times since
[08:46] Bobby Blackcinder: it was nip and tuck as to whether i would stay or not
[08:47] Bobby Blackcinder: I couldn't burst out and tell her, and I couldn't stop dressing either.
[08:47] Bobby Blackcinder: I was admittingly lyiing to her, but I coulnd't see a way to stop, w/o the risk of leaving also
[08:48] Susie223 Chun: Is she against this?
[08:48] Bobby Blackcinder: completely. I'm sure she wishes it would go away every day, especially when she see's what I'm wearing
[08:49] Jessie Passerine: I've got a friend who is also interested in girls outfit.he said he would urge his girlfriedn to wear what he is most into
[08:50] Bobby Blackcinder: nothing odd about that, all guys would like to have their women dress as they would like to see them
[08:50] Bobby Blackcinder: obviously sexy or even slutty
[08:50] Jessie Passerine: and once he wore a girl's skirt and showed up in a party
[08:50] Jessie Passerine: everyone was shocked
[08:51] Bobby Blackcinder: he's looking to break out, or just showing off his daring.
[08:51] Bobby Blackcinder: or both
[08:51] Susie223 Chun: my friend is different
[08:51] Bobby Blackcinder: that would still take guts either way.
[08:51] Susie223 Chun: He just tell his preference to some of his fiends,including me
[08:52] Susie223 Chun: But he would never tell his parents
[08:52] Bobby Blackcinder: less so if he was just showing off how gutsy he could be.
[08:52] Bobby Blackcinder: Oh, he admitted to liking to wear them? I didn't understand that.
[08:53] Susie223 Chun: He likes girl's clothes, but he just told a few friends about this hobby
[08:54] Bobby Blackcinder: Good luck to him finding out how far he wants to go with it.
[08:54] Susie223 Chun: but he thought that his parents were too traditional to accept this
[08:55] Susie223 Chun: and he won't show up as a girl in public
[08:55] Bobby Blackcinder: He has to please himself over everyone else, or he'll regret it more than embarrassment
[08:56] Bobby Blackcinder: it's a tough line to walk.

progress report 2- role playing and interviews

This week, after the role playing, we found that some of the questions are a little bit too big and went on seperate interviews to say what questions shall be asked. During the interview, not only the questions are formed , but also information was found.
Role plays conducted to see if the research questions can work out
Two groups: A. Susie and Sonny
B. Jessie and Ruby
After the role plays, we found that there are many problems about our questions, so we revise it into the following edition.
INTERVIEW course:
Places: transgender clubs
Step 1: self-introduction & small talk to get familiar with the interviewee
Step 2: ask for basic information about the interviewee
Step 3: bringing up our topic
Subtopic a: comparison of transgender culture in SL & RL
1. What do you think about the present transgender situations in RL?
2. What do you think about the present transgender situations in SL?
3. What are your daily activities in SL?
4. Apart from the activities here, do you take part in other activities with people who are not transgender?
Subtopic b: in what aspects does SL prepare transgender for better living in RL?
Subtopic c: existing problems
1. Have you ever encountered any kind of embarrassment because of who you are now?
2. What’s your reaction towards those embarrassments?


Here comes my little summerize on this week's work.
In reality, TG groups are usually confronted with misunderstanding and contempt. From the interviewees’ words, we can see that they are all usually under great pressure and hiding their identity and interest. While second life provided a virtual world where nobody knows your real identity, TG groups can enjoy a lot of different activities according to their interests. Although second life is a safer place to talk about and realize one’s own interests, TG groups are still very careful with their words and interaction with other people, in case their identity in real life would be found out or something else.
Bobby: I’m a crossdressing male in RL, a female in SL. I"m married, an unwilling participant. I love women's clothes, and wear women’s underdress everyday.I’m afraid of being found of wearing women's underdress, because it would be hard to work.They can’t fire me. I’m a boss. I have some fun with other people in SL, but not many CDs that aren't Transgender.I spend a lot of time in SL everyday. In SL,I dress just as I like and explore the feminine side that I didn't realize I had much of. In SL ,lots of pretenses dropped.I don't desire male body, and they can’t arouse me.

progress report 1- question formulations and discussion

The first week, we brainstormed the topic togethere and came up with some of our questions.We choosed the topic transgenders in secondlife as our topic, and want to survey their life in sl: Is secondlife a place more open on the issue of gender than rl? Is it more comfortable or easier to be a transgender in sl?
With these assumptions, we started to discuss some questions we wanted to ask, and here is the progress.

I. Building up a topic
Our group is curious about what the transgender situation is like in SL: is it a paradise for transgender? What kinds of people in reality enjoy being transgender in SL? What can they get from SL? These series of questions aroused our interest to be engaged in a research project about transgender in SL.
Topic: We assume that SL prepares transgender in reality for a better live, so we want to find out whether it is true or not. If it is true, in what aspects?

II. First draft of the research questions:
Subtopic I: the reasons they choose to be transgender in SL
1. Do you choose to be transgender out of fun or interest?
2. Are you led by others to come here or by yourself?
3. If it is out of fun, what fun can you get from it?

Subtopic II: comparison of transgender culture in SL & RL
1. What do you think about the present transgender situations in RL?
2. What do you think about the present transgender situations in SL?
3. What are your daily activities in SL?
4. Apart from the activities here, do you take part in other activities with people who are not transgender?

Subtopic III: existing problems
1. Have you ever encountered any kind of embarrassment because of who you are now?
2. What’s your reaction towards those embarrassments?

[18:54] Jessie Passerine: interesting experience~
[18:54] Ruby Lysios: haha
[18:54] Ruby Lysios: It holds the opinion that every significant issue should be determined by the residents instead of by the Lindex Laboratory.
[18:54] Susie223 Chun: ok, never mind
[18:54] Jessie Passerine: let's continue
[18:54] Ruby Lysios: is it Liden or Lindex?
[18:54] Susie223 Chun: Linden
[18:54] Susie223 Chun: let me check it later
[18:55] Susie223 Chun: I also forget, that's a spelling mistake
[18:55] Ruby Lysios: Protestor even attacked customers to prohibit the deal. At last, the owner of the mansion had to modify the script to stop the incident.
[18:55] Ding Atolia: i think the later part of your story is a little messy
[18:55] Ruby Lysios: should be protester
[18:55] Ding Atolia: you may divide it into several parts
[18:55] Susie223 Chun: I C
[18:55] Ruby Lysios: and maybe you should use plural
[18:56] Susie223 Chun: got it
[18:57] Susie223 Chun: anything else?

[19:00] Susie223 Chun: ok
[19:00] Ruby Lysios: i want know people's reflection no matter in second life or reality
[19:01] Susie223 Chun: it's hard to say reflection in reality because lots of people even don't konw that this kind of issue can happen in SL
[19:02] Susie223 Chun: know,sorry
[19:02] Ruby Lysios: like we don't know
[19:02] Ruby Lysios: utill you write the news
[19:02] Ruby Lysios: ok~
[19:03] Susie223 Chun: So it's more like a introduction:)
[19:03] Susie223 Chun: a brief discription
[19:03] Ruby Lysios: ok
[19:04] Susie223 Chun: because politics is a very complex issue,if you want to explain it clearly, 400 words are far from enough
[19:04] Susie223 Chun: what are you doing,ding?
[19:05] Ding Atolia: why am i flying

[19:10] Susie223 Chun: terrorists may take advantage of the game to handle funding, distribute radical ideas or expand their organizations
[19:10] Susie223 Chun: sorry
[19:11] Susie223 Chun: http://sonny5258.blogspot.com/2010/04/cannot-afford-house-in-real-life-buy.html
[19:11] Ding Atolia: it's a link
[19:11] Ding Atolia: sorry sonny5258.blogspot.com
[19:11] Ding Atolia: my story is so short...
[19:12] Jessie Passerine: i'll be the reader
[19:12] Ding Atolia: i want to focus on the good sides about the land issue in sl
[19:12] Ding Atolia: compared with reality
[19:13] Susie223 Chun: Many middle-class people who have worked fiercely for about 20 years get shocked when seeing their dreams of buying a new house breaking down
[19:13] Susie223 Chun: maybe break down?
[19:14] Ding Atolia: but i don't think I have expressed what I intended to say
[19:14] Ding Atolia: ok
[19:14] Ding Atolia: and i am really lacking in the background information about the land in sl
[19:15] Jessie Passerine: well , after reading the article. I think buying an house in second life does not actually helo the situation in reality
[19:15] Ding Atolia: so what are the aspects are you guys interested in land in sl or house?
[19:15] Jessie Passerine: it just offerred an escape temporaly
[19:15] Ding Atolia: haha good point
[19:15] Jessie Passerine: in reality you still cannot afford a house
[19:16] Ding Atolia: I think I can add it to my story
[19:16] Jessie Passerine: haha XD
[19:16] Ding Atolia: and change my focus
[19:16] Ding Atolia: not just the good sides but bojectively
[19:17] Ding Atolia: ruby
[19:17] Jessie Passerine: and the first time i saw the title, I thought it was an add from the game
[19:17] Ding Atolia: do you know more about the house building thing in sl?
[19:17] Susie223 Chun: haha
[19:18] Susie223 Chun: actually it's a good way to escape from reality
[19:18] Ruby Lysios: The past two decades has witnessed an ever-growing rate in the house price. i think the grammar is strange
[19:19] Susie223 Chun: not only buying houses or lands, but also the whole game
[19:19] Ruby Lysios: you might add the subject "we"
[19:19] Susie223 Chun: it's not strange, I think
[19:20] Ding Atolia: I think it's a sentence structure
[19:20] Susie223 Chun: because I once saw a similar grammar in a film
[19:20] Ruby Lysios: allright
[19:21] Ruby Lysios: it is a retreat for people in real life; they might but a resort and take vacation there
[19:22] Ruby Lysios: i want to make money
[19:22] Ding Atolia: yeah
[19:22] Ruby Lysios: could we pay mortage to buy house
[19:22] Ding Atolia: haha. i am also interested
[19:22] Ding Atolia: probably not
[19:22] Ruby Lysios: down payment
[19:22] Ruby Lysios: really?
[19:22] Ding Atolia: ...
[19:22] Ding Atolia: i am not sure
[19:22] Ruby Lysios: maybe you could search
[19:22] Ding Atolia: ha
[19:23] Ding Atolia: ok
[19:23] Ruby Lysios: and you could encourage everyone has his palace one day
[19:24] Ding Atolia: haha we are all princesses
[19:24] Susie223 Chun: I want to try decoration in SL,XD
[19:24] Ding Atolia: yeah i think i need to search these kinds of information more
[19:24] Ding Atolia: and show them in my revision
[19:24] Ruby Lysios: and you could also kick out the person that you don't want
[19:25] Susie223 Chun: maybe you can interview some peole
[19:25] Ruby Lysios: become a master of the land
[19:25] Jessie Passerine: haha~
[19:25] Ding Atolia: yeah someone who has owned one
[19:25] Ding Atolia: just like the guy we just met
[19:25] Ruby Lysios: yes! you could add them friends
[19:25] Jessie Passerine: so ding~ how to build a house?
[19:25] Ding Atolia: who drove away
[19:26] Susie223 Chun: it's not difficlut to find someone with excellent decoration
[19:26] Ding Atolia: i think he is really into his land though he is so rude...
[19:26] Ruby Lysios: maybe you could go shopping and buy some furniture
[19:26] Ding Atolia: sorry, J, i am not sure either
[19:27] Ding Atolia: i will search more
[19:27] Ding Atolia: is there a second-hand store in sl
[19:27] Ding Atolia: i mean second-hand stores haha there must be some
[19:28] Ding Atolia: so we can save money
[19:28] Susie223 Chun: yes ,there should be
[19:28] Ruby Lysios: but people may nor know if the thing is used
[19:28] Ruby Lysios: that makes no difference
[19:28] Jessie Passerine: ok~ your essay aroused my curiosity in buying and building houses in sl. maybe you can add it in your story
[19:29] Jessie Passerine: some further information
[19:29] Ruby Lysios: i expect to know too
[19:29] Ding Atolia: you mean in sl, we cannot check an object-whether it's new or old
[19:29] Ding Atolia: ?
[19:29] Ding Atolia: ok, I will do it
[19:29] Ruby Lysios: whether it's new or old makes no difference
[19:29] Susie223 Chun: yes, they are all virtual
[19:29] Ruby Lysios: people might not aware of that
[19:29] Ding Atolia: ooooooh
[19:30] Ding Atolia: so the second-hand stores are useless
[19:30] Ding Atolia: haha
[19:31] Ding Atolia: maybe we should call it throw-away stores-things other people don't want anymore but useful to other people
[19:31] Ding Atolia: not throw-away exactly haha
[19:32] Ruby Lysios: and maybe you could sell the things you do not want and make money
[19:32] Ding Atolia: yeah that's what I mean
[19:32] Ding Atolia: so all advice taken and i will make more efforts ha
[19:32] Susie223 Chun: I see your point
[19:32] Ding Atolia: any other suggestions?
[19:33] Susie223 Chun: no
[19:33] Ruby Lysios: no
[19:33] Ding Atolia: or can we take a break now or at 11:00
[19:33] Ding Atolia: 10:50
[19:33] Ding Atolia: I think we can take a break now
[19:33] Ruby Lysios: i will be ok
[19:33] Ruby Lysios: ok
[19:33] Susie223 Chun: ok
[19:33] Ding Atolia: ok
[19:34] Ding Atolia: 11 minutes

[19:53] Ding Atolia: yeah
[19:53] Jessie Passerine: because it's something you have done
[19:53] Ding Atolia: use past tense to tell a past story-that's what i learned from my last TW story

[19:56] Susie223 Chun: I will be the reader this time
[19:57] Ding Atolia: the structure is not that well-ordered i think
[19:57] Ding Atolia: jumping from sl to reality
[19:57] Ding Atolia: i think after the introduction
[19:58] Ding Atolia: you can show your experience
[19:58] Ding Atolia: and then basing on the story to talk about more
[19:58] Ding Atolia: through comparison
[19:58] Ruby Lysios: ok~i will reorganise the news
[19:59] Ding Atolia: i am curious about one thing
[19:59] Jessie Passerine: this article is a general desciption of sex and also personal expience in second life . but I think that's not enough
[20:00] Ding Atolia: are all the people in sl really so open
[20:00] Jessie Passerine: while comparing feelings about virtual and reality
[20:00] Ruby Lysios: you mean the people in gay bar
[20:00] Ding Atolia: and there are no moral issue involved?
[20:00] Ruby Lysios: i think people become open because the environment
[20:01] Jessie Passerine: people would always be willing to know how different exactly it feels
[20:01] Ruby Lysios: like we might not be naked now
[20:01] Ding Atolia: oh, i see, interesting
[20:01] Ruby Lysios: you mean compare the gay bar people in virtual and real life?
[20:01] Jessie Passerine: maybe adding some other ppl's feelings about sex in sl will be better
[20:01] Jessie Passerine: for example
[20:02] Ruby Lysios: i could interview people in gay bar, but i'm a little shy
[20:02] Jessie Passerine: can they really get an organsm or something by doing it in sl?
[20:02] Jessie Passerine: haha~
[20:02] Ruby Lysios: yes!
[20:02] Jessie Passerine: go ahead and interview them~
[20:03] Ruby Lysios: they will have movement and get excited
[20:03] Ding Atolia: haha it's becoming more and more funny
[20:03] Ruby Lysios: just like watching porn
[20:03] Ruby Lysios: but you are the main character
[20:03] Jessie Passerine: wow~ that's propably what you can add in your story
[20:03] Ruby Lysios: i already add
[20:04] Ruby Lysios: i seems i should be brave and interview them
[20:04] Ruby Lysios: it
[20:04] Ruby Lysios: ask about their feeling?

[20:12] Ruby Lysios: having sex with people is also free and legal
[20:13] Phoebe Isenia: yes
[20:13] Ding Atolia: Being at your high not only happens in real life, but virtual world.
[20:13] Roxanne Kristan: hey
[20:13] Roxanne Kristan: we talk there ok
[20:13] Ding Atolia: is there a phase "be at high"?
[20:13] Ding Atolia: i am not sure
[20:13] Phoebe Isenia: hey
[20:13] Ding Atolia: i think just "be high" is ok
[20:13] Phoebe Isenia: we haven't taken a pic
[20:14] Mi Shinn: yes
[20:14] Ruby Lysios: you have some spelling errors
[20:14] Mi Shinn: your group needs to post group pics and news titles on the class blog
[20:14] Susie223 Chun: why are they interested in taking drugs in SL?
[20:14] Susie223 Chun: I mean it makes no differences ,you can't feel anything
[20:14] Mi Shinn: for your last week's Sl discussion and this week's discussions
[20:15] Mi Shinn: just news titles and pics
[20:15] Ruby Lysios: i guess it it's an escape from real life
[20:15] Mi Shinn: you can post transcripts on your personal blogs
[20:15] Ruby Lysios: something you couldn't do in reality because we are supressed
[20:15] Mi Shinn: also email me the whole discussion transcripts
[20:16] Ruby Lysios: but you can do in sl and nobody will interfere you
[20:16] Susie223 Chun: it makes no difference whether you take drugs or just normal medicine
[20:16] Susie223 Chun: maybe that's one reason
[20:16] Jessie Passerine: maybe it's just out of curiosity towards drugs
[20:16] Phoebe Isenia: let's make a pose
[20:16] Ding Atolia: routine
[20:16] Phoebe Isenia: but charlotte's pose
[20:17] Phoebe Isenia: hahahahaha
[20:17] Ruby Lysios: yes!you could also interview people there like me
[20:17] Roxanne Kristan: fall asleep
[20:17] Ruby Lysios: our dialogue is mixed with others
[20:17] Jessie Passerine: haha~ok~
[20:17] Jessie Passerine: right
[20:17] Ding Atolia: Buying drugs in second life is legal and free, and the same thing goes with sex industry there, that is probably part of the reason why this game got popular.
[20:17] Susie223 Chun: I think you can interview some people who have taken drugs in SL
[20:18] Ding Atolia: the sentence is not grammatical
[20:18] Roxanne Kristan: she is away
[20:18] Roxanne Kristan: how to take pic
[20:18] Roxanne Kristan: her face is down
[20:18] Susie223 Chun: ask them about why they took drugs and how did they feel
[20:18] Phoebe Isenia: me too
[20:18] Phoebe Isenia: i know how to take
[20:19] Ding Atolia: may be change "that" to "which"
[20:19] Phoebe Isenia: but i don't know how to make my face turn to the lence
[20:19] Jessie Passerine: ic~
[20:19] Jessie Passerine: thx
[20:20] Ding Atolia: the past tense and present tense are mixed
[20:20] Ruby Lysios: and i think some young users would feel curious in drugs and sex, but in real life they couldn't do that because of moral issues
[20:20] Ding Atolia: you may need to check that
[20:20] Jessie Passerine: ok
[20:21] Ruby Lysios: maybe some conservatives would say we should ban laws in sl!!!
[20:21] Ruby Lysios: just a joke
[20:21] Ruby Lysios: it is impossible
[20:21] Jessie Passerine: no way~
[20:21] Jessie Passerine: XD
[20:22] Ruby Lysios: if it is banned in the second life, then the third life game will come up
[20:22] Susie223 Chun: did drugs cause any problem in SL?
[20:23] Ruby Lysios: burglary? prostitue?
[20:23] Ding Atolia: haha
[20:23] Ding Atolia: prostitute again
[20:24] Ruby Lysios: maybe just go interview
[20:24] Ruby Lysios: i think it's very interesting
[20:25] Ruby Lysios: maybe i couls go with you, haha
[20:25] Jessie Passerine: haha~
[20:25] Susie223 Chun: yes,that could be attractive
[20:26] Ruby Lysios: five minutes left

[20:28] Ding Atolia: on our personal blog or?
[20:28] Ding Atolia: and email to the teacher
[20:28] Susie223 Chun: ok,THX
[20:28] Ruby Lysios: maybe we could ask the teacher later
[20:28] Ding Atolia: and one more thing-I don't how to add the link to the headlines so

[18:12] Roxanne Kristan: not that often
[18:12] Phoebe Isenia: and reply to Roxanne. but don't you think those T shirt vendors is included in "various street vendore"

[18:43] Judy Meiler: i think the first paragraph is too long
[18:43] Charlotte Mohegan: yes Lisa su
[18:43] Meredith Rhosar: yes I think so...
[18:44] Mi Shinn: yes
[18:44] ko525252 Shelter: how to survive in the society~
[18:44] Charlotte Mohegan: ok u r back welcome
[18:44] Mi Shinn: it seems to me there are two focuses here
[18:44] Mi Shinn: in the first paragraph
[18:45] Charlotte Mohegan: yes?
[18:45] Mi Shinn: what is the interest lead?
[18:45] Judy Meiler: it's like the summer romance is more important or the Chinese practicing
[18:45] Meimeiryo Littlebird: maybe not that many questions in first paragraph?like we learn last week.
[18:45] Meimeiryo Littlebird: use interest lead instead of questions
[18:46] Mi Shinn: which one?
[18:46] Susie223 Chun: the two questions in the first paragraph make the activity unserious
[18:46] Lucky Board: This prize wasn't claimed... so let's try a new magic letter.
[18:46] Lucky Board: Next Prize: breeding coop
[18:46] Lucky Board: Looking for a winner whose name begins with.... E.
[18:46] Susie223 Chun: It seems that the participants join the activity just for some romace but not for practicing
[18:47] Meimeiryo Littlebird: yeah, i think focus on summer romance is not that suitable
[18:47] Charlotte Mohegan: maybe those adjectives attract most of you
[18:47] Mi Shinn: you have good supporting examples
[18:47] Mi Shinn: did the two students mention summer romance?
[18:47] Charlotte Mohegan: maybe I will delete the second question
[18:48] Charlotte Mohegan: nop
[18:48] Charlotte Mohegan: they only mentioned about making friends
[18:48] Meimeiryo Littlebird: after all, it is an activity held by language center, not group blind date or somethingXDDD
[18:48] Mi Shinn: As ko suggested,
[18:48] Susie223 Chun: haha
[18:49] Mi Shinn: maybe you can start a new paragrph here "Chinese Tea House"
[18:49] Mi Shinn: put it as a second pagraph
[18:49] Mi Shinn: where you are dying for?
[18:49] Mi Shinn: it is a strong expression!!!!
[18:50] Charlotte Mohegan: put it into second paragraph?
[18:50] Charlotte Mohegan: maybe I'll just delete it~
[18:51] Mi Shinn: or maybe you can delete a couple of sentences before this sentence
[18:51] Mi Shinn: if you would like to keep them
[18:51] Charlotte Mohegan: ok I'll think about it
[18:51] Mi Shinn: you need to start a paragrph
[18:51] Mi Shinn: this is a n interesting topic
[18:51] Mi Shinn: you may wish to explore it more
[18:52] Charlotte Mohegan: ok
[18:52] Mi Shinn: I know you rewrite your news

[19:07] Mi Shinn: let's follow you
[19:07] Ding Atolia: ok
[19:07] Ding Atolia: the shining one
[19:08] Phoebe Isenia: yes?
[19:08] Ruby Lysios: the color of the words is unclear
[19:08] Phoebe Isenia: so we miss ocean's part?
[19:09] Mi Shinn: They are not clear to me
[19:09] Mi Shinn: maybe because it is shinning
[19:09] Ding Atolia: so what kind of word type you guys use?
[19:09] Ding Atolia: times new roman or ?
[19:09] Phoebe Isenia: no
[19:09] Mi Shinn: it does not matter
[19:10] Ruby Lysios: could you change color?
[19:10] Jessie Passerine: maybe the picture are too small
[19:10] Meimeiryo Littlebird: but if she is gonna change the color of the word, that means she need to make a new poster
[19:11] Mi Shinn: ya
[19:11] Meredith Rhosar: I think the poster is too big...
[19:11] Ding Atolia: so let me tell me my story outline first
[19:11] Mi Shinn: you cna adjust it after class if you wish
[19:11] Meimeiryo Littlebird: OK
[19:11] Jessie Passerine: ok
[19:11] Mi Shinn: now you can give us a summary of your news
[19:12] Ding Atolia: i talked about the different kindness of Taiwanese and people in the mainland
[19:12] Ding Atolia: I focused on the former-the overwhelming kindness and hospitality of Taiwanese have enabled many newcomers to better identify with this place and feel the sunshine of the island and its people.
[19:13] Ding Atolia: then I told a story from my own experience which leads me to think the reasons behind this difference
[19:13] Ding Atolia: so the following are the reasons i give
[19:14] Ding Atolia: I will make my poster clearer to see after class
[19:15] Mi Shinn: questions and comments?
[19:15] Meimeiryo Littlebird: wow, i feel so honorXD
[19:15] Ding Atolia: haha
[19:15] Judy Meiler: i think you can ask some of your friends from China that whether they have the same feeling with you and what are their experience.
[19:16] Meredith Rhosar: I like your topic
[19:16] Meimeiryo Littlebird: the topic is so poetic!
[19:16] Ding Atolia: oh, yes, Judy, I'll work on that, thank you,good suggestion
[19:16] Mi Shinn: is the meaning clear to you?meimei?
[19:16] Phoebe Isenia: the style of your article is really warm~
[19:17] Ruby Lysios: what's the green on in the picture
[19:17] Roxanne Kristan: do you have subtitle?
[19:17] Ding Atolia: thanks Meimeiryo and phoebe
[19:17] Phoebe Isenia: and what is Taiwan Jujube?
[19:17] Mi Shinn: what does sunshine mean to you, meimei?
[19:17] Meredith Rhosar: it's like Monica's style
[19:17] Roxanne Kristan: 棗子?
[19:17] Meimeiryo Littlebird: well, i have to read the article to know what different sunshine means
[19:17] Ding Atolia: it's 青枣
[19:17] Phoebe Isenia: oh i see~
[19:18] Ding Atolia: en, the style is like Monica's
[19:18] Susie223 Chun: what is the green picture?
[19:18] Susie223 Chun: I can't see it clearly
[19:18] Meimeiryo Littlebird: but i think the topic will attract people to continue reading the article
[19:18] Ding Atolia: 青枣
[19:19] Jessie Passerine: well, it's like a piece of travelling journal
[19:19] Ding Atolia: which is from the kind woman in my story
[19:19] Mi Shinn: were the pics taken by you?
[19:19] Ding Atolia: yes
[19:19] Mi Shinn: or other people?
[19:19] Mi Shinn: those smiles
[19:20] Mi Shinn: whose smiles?
[19:20] Ding Atolia: I took it, but I failed to take a picture of that woman
[19:21] Phoebe Isenia: i like your last paragraph
[19:21] Ding Atolia: smiles? in which paragraph? I cannot locate it right now
[19:21] Phoebe Isenia: i think it's a good analysis
[19:21] Mi Shinn: the pictures
[19:22] Mi Shinn: smiles in captions of the pictures
[19:23] Mi Shinn: ko
[19:23] Mi Shinn: how's your poster going?
[19:23] Mi Shinn: ding?
[19:24] Ding Atolia: the smiles of the people in the picture make me feel warm, which I think is the most obvious aspect of taiwanese's hospitality
[19:24] Ding Atolia: yes?
[19:24] Mi Shinn: so sunshine=smile?
[19:24] Meimeiryo Littlebird: yeah~but the photos seem to be too small
[19:24] Ding Atolia: sunshine is more than smile
[19:25] Ding Atolia: it's the warm effect that the smiles bring to us-people who are not local
[19:25] Mi Shinn: ko
[19:25] Judy Meiler: i think sunshine is the feeling of warm that you get.
[19:26] Mi Shinn: you are blocking my view here:)
[19:26] Ding Atolia: the deep warmth
[19:26] Ding Atolia: yes, Judy
[19:26] Meimeiryo Littlebird: i'm glad we Taiwanese give you this kind of warm feeling

[19:30] Mi Shinn: it looked coooool
[19:30] Susie223 Chun: but my original one isn't clear enough
[19:30] Ruby Lysios: who is the singer?
[19:30] Susie223 Chun: maybe you can't see the words learly
[19:30] Susie223 Chun: clearly
[19:31] Mi Shinn: you can figure out ways :)
[19:31] Susie223 Chun: 李心洁
[19:31] Phoebe Isenia: oh~
[19:31] Meimeiryo Littlebird: can people in front step back a little, cause i can't see the paragraph under ^^"
[19:32] Object: Touched.
[19:32] Object: Touched.
[19:32] Object: Touched.
[19:32] Object: Touched.
[19:32] Susie223 Chun: I wrote this story because I went to Kenting this month and joined the festival
[19:32] Object: Touched.
[19:32] Object: Touched.
[19:33] Mi Shinn: cool
[19:33] Meimeiryo Littlebird: do you think it is fun?
[19:33] Susie223 Chun: At that time Lee jumped up to the stage and we were all surprised and excited
[19:33] Object: Touched.
[19:33] Object: Touched.
[19:33] Mi Shinn: gestures
[19:33] Susie223 Chun: It's soooooo funnyXD
[19:34] Judy Meiler: i think you can interview the people who have joined this activity many times, asking them is there some difference between now and past.
[19:35] Meimeiryo Littlebird: i'm still quite fear of this kind of activity....
[19:36] Ruby Lysios: so what do you want to emphasize, the social problems? maybe you could raise some questions in the first paragraph
[19:36] Mi Shinn: you used the future aspect in the first paragraph but past and present tenses in the second
[19:36] Susie223 Chun: This is the first time because the activity was nealy forbiden
[19:37] Ding Atolia: so com[pared with the same events held in the past few years, there has been some progress?
[19:37] Susie223 Chun: the authority thought the activity caused many damages to the environment there
[19:37] Susie223 Chun: Yes
[19:37] Mi Shinn: can you explain the tense shift?
[19:38] Phoebe Isenia: i thin since your topic is about the social problem of the festival~ perhaps you can point out the proble in the first paragraph
[19:38] Meimeiryo Littlebird: so this festival is different from 春吶?
[19:38] Susie223 Chun: because the durg-related cases have taken place
[19:38] Phoebe Isenia: because you didn't tell readers the problem until in the end of the 2nd paragraph
[19:39] Susie223 Chun: well ,I want to focus more on the progress:)
[19:39] Ding Atolia: yes, so tell more about the progress
[19:40] Susie223 Chun: The 2nd paragragh is kind of n explanation
[19:40] Mi Shinn: Roxanne
[19:40] Mi Shinn: you are quiet today
[19:40] Phoebe Isenia: and I recommend you to put Ken and ting together XD -> Kenting
[19:40] Susie223 Chun: OK~thanks~XD
[19:41] Phoebe Isenia: if you want to focus on the progress. maybe it will be great to interview or find some information to show us the transformation of this festival

[19:45] Object: Touched.
[19:45] Object: Touched.
[19:45] Susie223 Chun: no, I mean that the socially useful activities are for the first time
[19:45] Mi Shinn: you seem to use the word " raise" a lot
[19:45] Mi Shinn: raise a survey
[19:46] Mi Shinn: raise a purpose
[19:46] Mi Shinn: collocations are interesting
[19:47] Mi Shinn: sometimes they reflect personal styles--breaking conventional use
[19:47] Meimeiryo Littlebird: i c
[19:47] Mi Shinn: but sometimes you need to think twice
[19:47] Susie223 Chun: so maybe I should change my language using habits?
[19:48] Mi Shinn: as I gave comments on phoebes' poster
[19:48] Mi Shinn: the word "mecca" means something else to me

[20:16] Mi Shinn: your mom?
[20:16] Meimeiryo Littlebird: yes~on my personal blog
[20:16] Mi Shinn: cool
[20:17] Charlotte Mohegan: could you guys on the front move a little backward ?
[20:17] Charlotte Mohegan: thanks~
[20:17] Meimeiryo Littlebird: she always use the name"阿母" and i know it is herXD
[20:17] Mi Shinn: haha
[20:18] Charlotte Mohegan: maybe you can interview some parents
[20:18] Charlotte Mohegan: why should they do that? is that really help their relationship and achieve their goal?
[20:18] Judy Meiler: my mom has my MSN and facebook too, besides she is really good at English!
[20:19] Ding Atolia: haha
[20:19] Charlotte Mohegan: at first when I saw your topic I thought you are going to talk about the web camera
[20:19] Jessie Passerine: good point Charlotte ! I'll try that
[20:19] Meimeiryo Littlebird: i think it does help to improve the relationship between parents and son and daughter
[20:20] Charlotte Mohegan: you'r welcome
[20:20] Charlotte Mohegan: but I think children still have ways to avoid their supervising
[20:20] Charlotte Mohegan: they can lock the articles or album
[20:20] Mi Shinn: some typos but you can fix them
[20:21] Ding Atolia: but on the other hand, nowadays parents and children do have less face-to face talk than before
[20:21] Judy Meiler: so how are the parents in mainland do they use the same way to supervise their children asin Taiwan?
[20:21] Susie223 Chun: yes
[20:21] Ding Atolia: generally, it's similar
[20:21] Jessie Passerine: just some
[20:21] Susie223 Chun: besides,Judy,my mother is really good at English,tooXD
[20:22] Judy Meiler: ha ha
[20:22] Ding Atolia: but i think students in Tw goes home every week or wver two weeks
[20:22] Judy Meiler: so terrible, we have no privacy and advantage now ha ha
[20:22] Ding Atolia: but students in mainland probaply go home once or twice a semester
[20:23] Mi Shinn: the first sentence in the last paragraph is not clear to me
[20:23] Susie223 Chun: if you lock your album or something else, my mother will be upset and think I don't trust her
[20:23] Mi Shinn: For Jenny, whose parents..., things are ...
[20:24] Jessie Passerine: thanks, i got it
[20:24] Mi Shinn: it is a good quote
[20:25] Mi Shinn: but what is the conclusion?
[20:25] Charlotte Mohegan: I think there is no your opinion as conclusion?
[20:25] Jessie Passerine: no
[20:26] Charlotte Mohegan: yes , I think the whole news has several interviews that really convince people , but maybe you can express your own thought ?
[20:26] Jessie Passerine: I think leaving the reader to have their own opion is ok
[20:26] Mi Shinn: and maybe the last pragraph goes better with those students' perspectives
[20:26] Charlotte Mohegan: that's my little suggestion~
[20:27] Susie223 Chun: I don't it's necessary show her own opinion
[20:27] Mi Shinn: You have several students' perspectives and one parent's perspective
[20:27] Mi Shinn: and then
[20:27] Mi Shinn: what is your stance?
[20:28] Jessie Passerine: objective~ haha
[20:28] Jessie Passerine: just presenting different perspecitves
[20:28] Ding Atolia: i think for your story is not that new-oriented
[20:28] Ding Atolia: youcan have your opinion shown
[20:28] Mi Shinn: maybe you add one sentence to connect the interviews to the title.
[20:28] Ding Atolia: news-oriented
[20:29] Jessie Passerine: ok
