(headw1)	此方
(kana1)	こちら
(pos1)	n
(comment)	此方 【こちら(P); こっち(P); こなた】 (n) (1) (uk) this person; (2) this direction; (3) this side; (4) thereafter
I forget what I saw in Edict for "talking to myself" but I have always said: 此方の話 -- and I don't say things twice that receive even the slightest hint of awkwardness. Again, the TV and friends were my teachers - saru-mane.
