i'm younger now than i ever was as a child. it takes a lot of growing up sometimes to get to be young. and i agree, it's definitely a compliment.

I always though it was the other way around, and Tom covered the Ramones song? I'll be glad to be corrected though, because the Tom version is just as good, if not better PS. I heard the Ramones versions first, so that's maybe why I'm confused (I used to be a punk, with the mohican and everything )

After living for 57 years in the San Francisco Bay area with 7 million extroverts I moved to the Sierra Foothills into a town of 4,000 people mostly introverts and am now happy every day.
I voted enjoying being alone, but need something in the background. |

I'm one of those 50/50 people. I love to be in a crowd and having people to talk to. I'm one of those annoying people who will talk to other people in my line at the grocery store, amusement park, etc., much to the angst of my very introverted husband. I've also been told I have a very approachable aura. No matter where I am, people feel comfortable enough to come up to me and ask for directions, information, whatever. I thoroughly enjoy spending time with my family and hate going anywhere alone, whether it's to the mall, the park, wherever. I am constantly dragging my kids to the grocery store! The funny thing is, I am basically a shy person, although, when I tell people that, they laugh.
On the other hand, I also love the time I spend alone at home when everyone else is at school or work. I have time to get my chores completed, read, work on my crafts, or do a little gardening. No one is asking me where anything is, asking them to do them a favor, etc. If I could only do something about those pesky tele-marketers! Sticking with the Astrology theme, maybe it's because I'm a Gemini, split personality and all that! Kaz |

There's still only my 1 vote for crushing noise and humanity. Where are my people? We know they aren't shy, so that isn't the problem.
