Octavia had a phone call earlier where she was crying quite a bit, sounded a sad call. Not in English so something back home perhaps. I do hope it's nothing serious and she's ok.

I only catched the middle, it didn't seemed too serious no, and at least partially about her driver license I believe.

That's good to know, thanks. She was very upset at one point so you think the worst don't you.

I guess that's a local thing where I live. If someone tells a lady is a doll, thing she's a good person generally, not a piece of plastic with eyes that stare at you wherever your standing in a room. Dolls are very scary to me

Maybe an age thing lol. Slang in most of UK calling someone a doll is a good thing.

In fact, I would associate various images with a doll, perhaps something rigid. mask-like. You often hide behind a mask. Or something fragile, maybe even shadowy. I'm also thinking of Murakami's mysterious Air-DolL

Lol Melle, you lost me there.

I think we misunderstood each other again. I don't see what I've described as an attribute of Octa, I just want to explain how I use the term doll in my culture in Northern Europe.
