I'm an introvert married to an introvert, and have recently concluded that, contrary to my original impressions, we somehow managed to birth an extroverted child. The girl can play by herself, but she never wants to. I'm finding it makes maintaining my relationship with DH a challenge, because we're both so worn out from dealing with Little Miss Sociable that by the time she's asleep the last thing either of us want to do is have another person in the same room with us, much less carry on a conversation.

That's why Joe and I just drop Emeline off at random frat parties and then go out to a movie and dinner and pick her up later.

I score right at the border for introvert/extrovert on the Meyers-Briggs and that feels about right. I prefer small groups, but am fine in a large group, too.

I should try that! I was thinking of seeing if any teenagers from our church wanted to earn some babysitting money, but the frat party thing would be a lot easier.

Plus, think of all the networking she's doing!

Totally! She'll be all set for her political career.

I was so not nice while I was getting ready. Diva doesn't begin to cover it. In fact, any time getting dressed at the F2F happened, I was bitchy, and not in the good way. Plus I kept trying to blame Daniel for "dragging" me to it in the first place. Poor guy

see, that's why there needs to be drinking. And the stress was worth it, because you looked STUNNING.

I had a hard time at the SF2F. Lots and lots of people. Who I didn't know all that well. And did I mention lots of people?

Madison was easier. Much smaller group. People I knew better. I didn't feel as overwhelmed.

I will gladly chat with just about anyone, but I have a hard time *starting* the conversation. If no one starts, I just think no one wants to talk to me, so I don't try talking to them. It's a vicious circle.

yeah, it's like "green, yellow, red"

1st Bhutros - warning

2nd Bhutros- getting serious

Gali - untie me RIGHT NOW.

Heh.

That's the fun part for me, blasting the music and comparing outfits and drinking :)

Oh, yes.

Yep.

Windsparrow, I never would have guessed. And once again, you were gorgeous.

ION, I freaking HATE writing annual reports. Blecch.

Oh god yes.
