Long nights ahead.

It is dark when I leave work now. In the morning I spend time with a light box. This isn't going to get better before it gets worse. It's just nature, ne.
I suspect that my writing will help, as will the dance. I've always written more in winter, although it is true that winter is also a time of apathy gaps in which I lose interest in one-on-one phone contact and email contact with people outside Japan. But sometimes in winter I wake up in mental flames and send searing five page letters that pierce people who've not heard from me for ages. Perhaps I'll be better this year, we'll see. In winter I need more face-to-face with people, but it is also a time that when I retreat into books I bury myself deep. Winter highlights my sharp duality...makes me pointy and yet at times I grow so malleable I am hard to recognize.
I'm being over dramatic...that's always a sign (laugh)
So if I'm going to be writing in my lj over the winter I'd like to have a slightly better idea of who the hell I'm writting to. I know my readership is more vast than my friends list. There are people who are important to me who read me who do not have lj accounts for a myriad of reasons...which is why I think I've only once posted at a security level other than public. I do not wish to deny them me.
So how can I get you to pipe up? May I ask for a show of hands? I will offer to consider answering any question you might have in exchange for your quick identification? May I request the minimal information as to how you know me (off-line) or how you came to find and somewhat know me (on-line?) Your favorite Buggirl memory? Your most hated thing about the Buggirl?
I have time. I leave it up to the individual reader. Go on, comment, if you've got it in you.
