Reflections of a stormy petrel

It's the wrong time now that work, health and sentimental affairs make it almost impossible for you to follow LJ affairs (not that I am complaining; to the contrary, I am grateful that you make the effort to get back in touch from time to time), but if you had time I would tell you that you could do worse than find out about the rest of the ladies in question. cette_vie is a genius of Chinese extraction, currently at the University of Chicago. hermoinejean7 is studying all sorts of sciences somewhere in South India. expectare and dustthouart are young American ladies who specialize in Chinese and East Asian cultures, and expectare, being a cadet in the US Army, could take care of the military side of any conspiracy. And finally, helixaspersa is a phenomenally talented, attractive and charming scholar in the humanities, currently lecturing at Oxford. So I think you are in good company. If you start a conspiracy, don't tell me; I don't want to know. Just make sure I don't end up losing. 8-)
