Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.

a gift certificate for Netflix (he is on the austerity plan right now and is going without cable...)

I did a year for my mom because she doesn't even have a tv but loves movies. So I figured she could do the streaming Netflix and then disks for stuff that isn't instant. Total hit of a gift.

Hysterical Old Spice commercial. P's man wanted manwash yesterday but WinCo failed to have a selection. I am sending that to her stat.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

The Introvert's Corner blog: "We Gotta Fight for our Right Not to Party"

As a semi-introvert, I was happy to discover Sophia Dembling's Introvert's Corner blog.

A woman who read one of my essays on introversion said that when she explained her introversion to her family, her brother said, "We didn't know you were an introvert. We thought you were just a bitch."

Heh. I mean, that's sad.

Jealous! MFNlaw is a blast! I'm sure Sparky is as well, but I've never met her.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

I'm a weird combo of introvert and extrovert. I love talking to people, love dealing with them at the bookstore, love participating in class discussions, but OTOH, I take great enjoyment in just hanging out at home or with a few friends when it comes to purely social events. If I have to go to a club to meet people, I'll be found sitting in the corner and watching until someone drags me onto the dance floor.
