But, I kind of think, for me, it is about life, two kids, a traveling husband, etc. There is so much life that happens, it tends to take the edge off my E-ness. However, I still find myself making more eye contact than the average Joe and talking to people in elevators, etc. I've also developed a better sensor about giving people space. Not everyone wants to talk with a loud, big laugh stranger.

But if I like you and you make me feel welcome in return, I'll open up pretty fast..<BR/><BR/>As far as the email thing goes - the letting it go is pretty dangerous because these days you can never be 100% sure if someone got the email.. I'm pretty bad with keeping up on conversations via email, because I generally get hundreds of mails a day, and they get lost in the inbox. Not to mention some of them got lost in the Gmail spam box. I'm trying to fix this with new email accounts on my own domain and making things organised, but this is one area I'm not good at. I have 5 new accounts sitting here but I have to try and work out how to work it.<BR/><BR/>Snoskred - has a new home at -<BR/>http://www.snoskred.org/<BR/>please update your links. ;)Snoskredhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12670406702782244306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13083972.post-2436982767065056192007-07-16T20:34:00.000-05:002007-07-16T20:34:00.000-05:00Oh dear, you have thoroughly cracked me up.

Usually if the invitation is ended with the word "soon", it means "ain't gonna happen". <BR/><BR/>If someone says, "let's get together for lunch... call me in the next few days", I assume it's sincere ~ and I'll call. <BR/><BR/>I grew up in LA.. which is just about the same as the South when it comes to social niceties. (Let's do lunch, baby!) After a while, it all sounds like blah blah blah and we don't even hear it.<BR/><BR/>But sometimes.. it's real. :)<BR/><BR/><BR/>Peace, <BR/><BR/>~Chanithailandchanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10171731740204067889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13083972.post-72583835867106856132007-07-16T12:59:00.000-05:002007-07-16T12:59:00.000-05:00At the end of the day, I realize I am half and hal...<I>At the end of the day, I realize I am half and half: half introvert and half extrovert.

I think I hav...Ahhh, you are lovely to meet indeed! <BR/><BR/>I think I have a tendency to ALWAYS think people are feigning niceties, probably because I've always lived in the South and it is just what people do. I always assume a "Call me!" or "Let's get together!" is always said because it is expected in certain situations, rather than it being a genuine invitation. When I say it, I mean it...but I always assume others might not. Josh is always after me for this. "Some people really do mean it! CALL THEM!" *lol* I'm silly that way.Kylahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03311014761113076785noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13083972.post-12047184205907730162007-07-16T09:54:00.000-05:002007-07-16T09:54:00.000-05:00Even though I am very introverted, those kinds of ...Even though I am very introverted, those kinds of instant connections appeal to me. I wouldn't be put off by your approaching me in a parking lot at all. <BR/><BR/>I find most of those connections don't last.. but even that's okay. It doesn't have to "go anywhere". It is pleasant in the moment and that's just fine, too. <BR/><BR/>It's interesting you mention the social marking. Usually when that starts is when I get turned off. Not sure why that is.. but I don't like it when people start asking those questions that make me feel like I'm being measured for acceptability. There are too many other things to talk about. <BR/><BR/><BR/>Peace, <BR/><BR/>~Chanithailandchanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10171731740204067889noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13083972.post-54236958253516441622007-07-16T09:26:00.000-05:002007-07-16T09:26:00.000-05:00Interesting - you describe yourself similarly to h...Interesting - you describe yourself similarly to how I describe myself.

When you're 5, all it takes is for someone to step into your front lawn and you've got a best friend for life. "Hey, you're in my grass.
