Apparently I am very good at faking how uncomfortable I am in large groups, at least with my family. Several people have told me that they didn't think I was uncomfortable at all at my wedding shower. Luckily my friends, including vw, knew better, and saved me from the crowds when I needed it.
Mal: Cut it out. Job's not done until we're back on Serenity. Zoe: Sorry, sir. Didn't mean to enjoy the moment.

Spike's Bitches 46: Don't I get a cookie?
[NAFDA] Spike-centric discussion. Lusty, lewd (only occasionally crude), risqué (and frisqué), bawdy (Oh, lawdy!), flirty ('cuz we're purty), raunchy talk inside. Caveat lector.

Now tagless for your comfort.
I'm trying to craft the perfect two word response.
Fuck you sounds appropriate.

One thing Lewis has never been able to understand is my intense desire for solitude within my own home
Yes yes yes!!!!
Hubby has finally realized this, praise be. Sometimes I want to be alone to play with *my* toys!

Ann, that's a ferret.
But then, this is where the fine art of compromise happens
My parents came up with their own compromise. My mother is fairly social. My father, on the other hand, is so introveted that he makes me look extroverted.
When I was a teenager, my mother's side of the family started organizing "cousins' picnics" a few times a year -- the Parent Generation would get together for a picnic and talk. My father would chat briefly with everyone else while he ate, then go for a walk. When he got back, it was time to go.

DH's always here, and I love him, but I just need a few days by myself per year.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?
"Every class is a performance."
Yep. That's how I look at my classes. A friend of mine even talks about how he used to "script" every class when he first stared teaching. He still does just not with the same amount of detail.

Our wings are not tired.
Me too! it's why I often room alone at the F2F. I love you all, but when I need to be alone, I NEED to be alone.
Vortex is me. I can be as social as all get out, if I know that I get to recharge later that night in my own space.
Barb, I can relate to my own toys thing. I live alone now, and cherish it. But I've had a few couples stay with me recently and have discovered that by giving them my bedroom, I get to putter around in my office (where I set up my pretty comfortable cot!) and it's FUN! I like being surrounded by my office clutter for a couple of days.

This right here is one of the reasons getting married scares me. I need at least 1 day/WEEK by myself.

Life moves pretty fast. You don't stop and look around once in a while, you could miss it.
I bet you're not a horrible daughter, Sox, so I guess Dr. Laura?
