I have figured out s fix to my neck pain from grading -- music stand at my desk! Makes it eye level. Weeeee! Yay for an easy fix.
Illyria: We cling to what is gone. Is there anything in this life but grief? Wesley: There's love. There's hope...for some. There's hope that you'll find something worthy...that your life will lead you to some joy...that after everything...you can still be surprised. Illyria: Is that enough? Is that enough to live on?

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

DJ yes! Thanks. I shall respond tonight! Right now I am in a cab on my way to meet Sparky and MFNlaw!
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.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
Can you still count as an extrovert if it's only on your terms? I want to start all the conversations, and sometimes I don't want to start conversations. And sometimes, I get busted for chatting too much, like, say today. But I was only busted by New Guy, and I chalk it up to maintaining good relations with the business users.
Sometimes it feeds me, sometimes it kills me.

I think there's a difference between the introvert/extrovert spectrum, and the outgoing/shy spectrum. You can be outgoing and introverted, which means you're very talkative but you don't reveal much (if any) real personal info.
Me, I can be outgoing at times, but I remain very introverted.
