I know the feeling. It's a cousin of feeling homicidal on a Japanese rush hour subway car.

It's funny though, even though I totally identify, your comment makes me all nostalgic about being on a dance floor. I do most of my dancing in socks in my apartment now. Ironically, far less lonely.

It's why I took up partner dancing...you are never alone on the floor.

Layne says,

I cant say I've ever been on a Japanese rush hour subway car but that sounds fascinating, Illuminatrix. We had a school dance last night, and we all now how those go these days and ill be the first to shamefully admit that I think theyre a blast. I couldnt go to this one because I had made previous plans, but hearing the recap got me thinking about these dances, and even if you are in such close contact with another person, it never feels like there is a connection, as it probably shouldn't. This then got me thinking about how I miss having that connection with someone like I have before, especially around the holidays, so this memoir was born to express that emotion.
