I'd guess most of you out there see me as the "sociable" type - I love going to parties, I love networking, I really do love to get to know people.

I am at a point in my life where I question "how much fun" I have integrating myself with society. I'm not going to fall back into a cave or anything - I get there is value to communication and have a commitment to "communicate even when I don't feel like it" per my key outcomes for 2008.

this does make me think about my relationship with Mayumi - should I be communicating with her even when "I don't feel like it?"

I asked for 3 weeks of space and don't intend to speak to her until I see her in Tokyo

I accept the consequences of my choice and moving forward with packing up my room, finding a job, doing whatever I need to do to arrive in Japan complete.

My intention is to start a new life and not sure what this means yet.

I wonder if it means pushing the ole "reset" button and just vanishing everything it is I've done online (which really isn't possible in this day of the internet)

I'd pretty much have to change my name and erase my identity to start over - sheesh I probably shouldn't even go to Tokyo or back to the states if this is truly what I was up to.

However, I'm not.

I started this page because Edward noted that he sees me more of a loner (I like the positive aspect of being sensitive to situations of others on short notice - I can relate to this - I've essentially created a lot of space to give to others in time of need) rather than someone who is "lonely"

this is a sharp contrast to an ENFP which is a master at "word magic" (ref)

ok this is all for now - i gotta keep packing!
