splecond

bob once told me that you can tell if you're an extrovert or an introvert by where you get your strength. whether you recharge in the company of others or thru alone-time. i honestly can't decide which does more for me. i've therefore concluded that it depends on many circumstances. but mostly... when i've had too much of one, i crave the other.

this has been an insanely busy weekend. i've spend oodles of time with lots of different lovely people. last night i even had an old-fashion sleep-over at melinda's house – it was like we were 14 again (except she wouldn't let me sleep in her bed with her). irina came over too and we made home-made pizza and talked about sex, drugs and rock'n' roll. or not. i'll let you decide. it was just like old times when we lived together at pirates cove.

i started reading "eat pray love" yesterday. the first line hooked me right away, how could i NOT love a book that starts with "i wished giovanni would kiss me" :) it's been an interesting read. i don't agree with her on all her beliefs, but that doesn't matter. it's got me thinking which is good. lately i've developed a real love for prayer. i look forward to praying because i'm suddenly aware of the fact that God hears me. that's opened up a whole new realm of possibility for me. i like how this book, and our discussion at next this morning, both falling in line with that fondness for prayer and they were all completely independent of each other. i like non-coincides.

good decisions reap good results.

all that you fashion
all that you make
all that you build
all that you break
all that you measure
all that you feel
all this you can leave behind.

I think that makes you an introverted extrovert. Or an extroverted introvert. Or just normal. Choose one.

I think you're just incredibly balanced! One other way to tell about intro/extroversion is weather you process stuff better internally or externally by talking it over with someone else. Also, do you throw out your ideas while they're still half-baked or do you wait to share until you're sure of where you stand?
