It's Not My Fault

This cartoon from several years ago says it all. I have it posted outside my classroom for those who want to blame everyone else for all of their problems.

Can't comment here either

Can't comment here, or on Roo's blog, etc. etc.

WTH????

That's it! I'm outta here.

We finally say....

Until we get so fed up....

Really Annoying

Extroverts can be annoying....

Introverts and Extroverts
Same creature, completely different animals.

Pictures

Angelique, these pictures are just perfect. Where did they all come from? My husband subscribed to an on-line photo place for his website and newsletter, and there were some great ones, but I didn't see anything this beautiful.

Thanks for explaining how to edit. And I'm sorry I didn't get more recipes posted. These last two days have been crazy and I haven't been able to spend as much time here as I usually do.

Innies dont mind eating alone!

Some Innies will kick your ass!

Recipes from our different threads

Shish-Kabobs

Originally posted in Introverts Offshore by Sunny on 5/26/09

I made shish-kabobs this weekend with a wonderful but simple marinade:

3/4 c. soy sauce
3 Tbsp minced garlic
1/2 bundle chopped grn onions
fresh ginger to taste

I marinated 4 cut up chicken breasts overnight and the kabobs were delish!!! I also added to the kabobs some cut up grn peppers and red onions tossed in Extra Light olive oil, sea salt and pepper. YUM!

I sliced up some zuchinni and prepared it the same as the other veggies, but put it in foil pouches to cook. It was good, but a bit mushy/overcooked, so next time I'll take it off sooner, or put it directly on the grill--small upper rack, maybe.

And, a couple of drink recipes of Terri's posted by Angelique on 6/19

Not Lonely

Heard in an interview on Fresh Air:

"It only LOOKS like loneliness from the outside."

Heart

In the closet??

Hi there, my name is JayLee and I'm an introvert.....Okay so there really isn't a introvert's anonymous but sometimes I think that there should be. Maybe the greeting should be, I have to pretend to be an extrovert for work.

In alot of ways, myself and my friends here have created one. I've done some work in substance abuse and they say that no one can understand what recovery is really like until they have been there themselves. Being an introvert is kind of like that. You don't really understand what it's like unless you are one. Now that doesn't mean to say that there aren't times we can't (or at least I can't) pull a good imitation of a extrovert out.

I have come to think of myself as a closet introvert, at least at work. Every day, I walk out the house, and spend the drive giving myself a pep talk. My job requires extroverted tendencies for training, presentations, meeting with supervisors or external reviewers. I like nothing more when it's just me and the documentation and the processes and tests. But alas, they never leave me to that part of my job for long.

There are some of the people I know that swear I couldn't possibly be an introvert. I guess I really am a good actress after all. The on-line environment however, wow, now there is a haven. I can interact or not all I want and talk to people all I want all with out really interacting or talking to anyone at all. I mean really, typing this blog, I'm curled up on the couch with some earl gray tea (hot of course) watching my favorite crime drama.

Is there any better life then that? Well, maybe if I were on a beach front with a drink and good diving but that is a wish for another time.....

The Introvert's Lexicon

We can't forget this:

Ok, scratch that

Seems I may have jumped the gun.

Anyway, I wont mention this blog online in case you truly want only innies. Besides, I think there are a couple of yahoo groups or something that I am unaware of, but other regs know about. (you got cyrcles?)

Technology eludes me

So here I am swilling beer and I get an email to view a blog. Problem is there aint no blog to read. If there is, It's beyond my ability to find it, so maybe someone can show me how.
Anyway if this blog starts, then what about the topix thing? Are only true innies invited here? What happened to PEellen or whatever? did she take her toys and leave? That would be a shame, but we have lost some dear people along the way.
I hope you keep the topix blog, puts a public face on things, and does allow the occasional wandering innie a place of respite.

Well more later after more beer.
