Your style of writing is also intriguing. I love the idea of solipsism. There is an undeniable truth to it. Also love LeGuin. Comments are working fine for me.

I love the idea of solipsism. There is an undeniable truth to it.

Also love LeGuin.

Well, I don't have to, but I do. I have always gone through life without a thought that other people haven't had the same experiences as I do. Until that is, I met my girlfriend. She has only lived in my city for two years, living in Alaska previously. When we headed from here (Tacoma) to Seattle, I was talking to her about the various places I've been, and the popular attractions, and she had no clue what I was talking about, which really surprised me. Thinking about it now, her not knowing about the 'hot spots' and the little bits of history that seem common knowledge to me shouldn't have been so shocking. It really opened my eyes and ever since then (a few days now) I have been kind of introspective in thinking about how it is I (and I imagine others do it as well) assumed she knew what I did. In the everyday grind when you see the same people, it is really hard to see that you aren't alone. After all, if you see the same people and do the same thing day to day, how do you know they aren't just part of your imagination? And then in my case, having her come into my life, really threw me for a spin. It is fascinating to run into someone who doesn't know what you know, in terms of local geography and random facts. It really is a shock to discover that there indeed are other people in the world. I have to agree with you in this. Well, I don’t have to, but I do.
