(no subject)

I haven't been posting a lot, lately. I've been a bit internal. I haven't even mentioned that we're going to Japan for two weeks, starting this Saturday. Japan! I've never been to Asia at all. I'm a bit thrilled, as you can imagine. I had a very odd weekend -- February has a lot of memories for me, both good and terrible, and so I try to make Februaries count. I think this one will count. I hope.

If you run into me in February, ever, give me a hug and kiss me gently on the side of the forehead. If you can reach.

Anyway, in addition to feeling quiet and contemplative, I feel lingeringly open and nostalgic. I need to contextualize everyone and everything. So, I'm fascinated by all of the responses to the 'memory' meme. And it feels a bit self-indulgent, but I'm really quite curious, so:

if you read this,
even if i don't speak to you often,
please post a memory of me.
It can be anything you want, it can be good or bad,
just so long as it happened.

I'll take out the instruction to post it in your journal. You will, or you won't, and me telling you to do so won't change your mind one bit.
