So, when I met up with ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
heatmhub in Boston last week, one of the topics of conversation was introvert vs. extrovert. I've always considered myself a strong introvert, and said so. heatmhub was surprised, and pointed to my social calendar while I was in Boston as an example of extroversion. And it's also true that I practice much better with other people, and get more work done when other people are involved than when I'm supposed to work alone. I began to think that maybe I'm not as introverted as I thought.
Well, chalk up the past few days as another piece of evidence that I may have been wrong. I've been dog-sitting for a professor, and basically living in the next town over with no human interaction at all...and it's getting me down! I thought I'd enjoy a little hermit-time, but not so much.
I think maybe I assumed I was an introvert b/c of my geek tendencies. In high school, I assumed that all geeks were introverts, and never really re-examined that assumption as regards myself, though of course I now know tons of geekish extroverts. Maybe I'm more balanced than I thought.
Anyways, people should, like, update and stuff. Because LJ is the only people-interaction I'm likely to have today.
