Re: Mulder/Scully
My dearest comet causing cult leaders everywhere to bow down,
I had no idea your dislike of publicity tours would rival my own. Do you disagree with the concept in general or is it something else? I don't expect that I could handle that many strangers in such a short time period. Especially if I have to talk about myself. I believe that I would have been good at it once, but I suspect the ability to feign amicable at the most surface level has left me in recent months. Perhaps just the interest to feign it.
I wouldn't subject you to the publicity tour, Scully. Not if I couldn't bear it either. It just sounds like condensed soup, if it came in a social anxiety flavor. I don't actually have a problem with strangers. I like strangers just fine sometimes. Maybe it's the idea of strange crowds that leaves me feeling unsteady.
About the diary, it is a habit that I picked up again recently. I once kept one when I was small. Didn't everyone? I can't say that it holds any great mysteries of the Universe, I didn't know such things then and I certainly don't now. I imagine that I started keeping one again because, much like these letters, it's a way of putting it out there. It being all of the words I would never say to somebody else.
I would like to know you outside of these letters. Do you think that the pseudonyms help or hinder us? We've established that anonymity allows us to indulge, but perhaps we can use that as a stepping stone after knowing one another's actual names. What do you think, Scully?
What would be the purpose in learning to fly if you never intend to?
Maybe I don't. Maybe I don't want it to happen at all.

Scented stickers are a serious investment and will likely involve some secretly anonymous PO Boxes unless we are to divulge who we really are with one another.
