Yes, I am restless. I think there's no better description at the moment. It always happens when I go home after a semester. I think it's because of the abrupt change from having so many deadlines and each moment needing to do something to just... nothing. Don't need to do any homework, don't need to study, don't need to go to any meetings or ( Read more... )

hi there,

i just got home yesterday. and the fact that i am awake at 7:30am and have been since 5:30am should tell you something. but i don't think you're introverted any more than anyone else. just, when there is no one interesting around, you'd rather be with yourself... whereas even when there is no one interesting around, some people will continue to hang out with people they don't like. i think the idea of being social is much more fun than the actual practice. but that's not speaking from experience, mind.

I understand your discontent with having no deadlines to meet; it’s a weird feeling when you’re used to continuously going. That doesn’t mean you should feel guilty about it, though. Take this time to relax: go for a walk or something. Sit in a coffee shop and read a book. You have the rest of your life to work, so enjoy this time while you can ( ... )

Hmmm, yeah, I need to work on that whole "calling people" thing. Not really good at that. I think my biggest problem with that is my near-constant belief that I don't bring anything new to the table and automatically assume people don't like my company that much. Hmmmm.

I think a good thing about labeling myself as an introvert is to be able to remind myself that I'm not supposed to be social all the time and that it's okay -- it's part of my nature -- to want to be alone. There are times where I am, I guess, troubled by my occasional unwillingness to be around other people and all, so being able to remind myself this makes me feel better, and makes me enjoy my time alone then a little more.

I don't think I can do anything this week, but I'll be home for the next few weeks, so if anything comes up, let me know! :)

Okay, so last week is when most of the holiday fun happened, but I think I'm going to try to plan some bowling action tonight or tomorrow @ the Smithtown AMF Lanes on Landing Ave. I have a coupon for a free game - we just have to pay for the shoe rental.

What is the best way to contact you? (LiveJournal, AIM, Facebook, etc...?)

AIM or Facebook would be good ways to contact me (hmm... much faster than lj), as I'd get some kind of notification.

Hehe, all three of us know that you LOOOVE Katie Morgan and you want to watch very naughty things being done to her, I know this because I was there. >_>

Anyway, being introverted doesn't mean you sit in your room by yourself all day and shirk all human communication--that is being anti-social, and being anti-social is very different from being introverted. An introvert is someone who can deal with being by him/herself for long periods of time (some people go crazy without human interaction). That doesn't mean you don't like or seek human interaction, it just means you can do without it--and not feel weird.

So if you want to meet Katie, I'm sure I could arrange something. It'll take a while. A day, maybe.
