but I am confused by the several references to happiness as an external reward or stimulus.
I took it to mean that "if you do X, you will be happy"
Oh, yeah, baby, it's snakalicious in here.

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.

You should know I'm a big deal in the Resistance.
Congrats, Kate!

I wish I could just go somewhere to get flensed but none of the whaling ships near me take Medicare.
Well, here's some positive news. An acquaintance of mine who is a VO pro (award-winning and such) is willing to give me a consultation while I'm up in the Bay Area. I hope that getting a realistic assessment of where I'm rusty and where I'm okay and where to go from there will help me get over my fear. I really need to because I don't have too many ways to get out of the poverty my disability has plunged me into.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration
That makes sense, Vortex. I couldn't decode that, somehow.
Congratulations, Kate! May your honeymoon-at-home be every bit as blissful as an immediate vacation.

I look more rad than Lutheranism
The introvert article confused me on the use of the word "happiness," too. I finally decided they mean "happiness from an outside source," because it's poppycock to say that introverts don't want happiness.
I am, of course, almost a textbook introvert, and I cannot say how much I agree with this part:
Don't interrupt if an introvert does get to talking. Listen closely. "Being overlooked is a really big issue for introverts," Laney says. Introverts are unlikely to repeat themselves; they will not risk making the same mistake twice.
Seriously. It fucking pisses me off to no end when people interrupt while I'm talking. Interrupting with wisecracks and puns is practically a competitive sport in my office, and I want to go all Evil Hand every time someone does it to me.

Know a DC damsel in fashion distress? If so, she's in luck because Clinton Kelly, Stacy London and the fine folks from TLC's "What Not to Wear" are filming four episodes in Washington...but they need your help to find these lucky fashion victims.
If you know a style-challenged individual in need of a serious intervention, contact casting producer and friend of FishbowlDC Michael Petrella with the info requested after the jump.

Ha I was thinking this morning "What if WNTW is following me with the hidden cameras?!" I was a mess as I so often am on my way to work.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Lucky? If anyone did that to me, I would kill them. On camera. Dressed *fabulously*.

I’d be lying if I didn’t say that I miss them all tonight…
Although I doubt that anyone would call me an introvert, I actually have a lot of introverted tendencies.
