| You must have an extroverted personality. I am definitely an introvert. I get really tired when around people for long. This happens even with my best friend. It is like I run out of things to say and do and need to recharge. Sometimes I wonder if that is because I see myself as so boring that there... |

| I was pretty bad at sports in school. On the plus side I did get to play softball in elementary school because everyone got an equal chance to play. I hit a couple of balls over the course of the year or two I played, so I wasn't a complete loss. In highschool our homeschool group formed a basketbal... |

| I scored a 71%. I was extremely uncertain on the majority of those faces and wonder if I just had some lucky guesses. I will have to retake that thing later. I think my problem is that I can't tie a name and details about a person to their face. I can see people from my classes in the hallway and I ... |

| I thought the line was "they're all dead". I guess I was wrong on that one too. I find talking on the phone with most people to be extremely aggravating. I probably understand about half of the things they say and just uh huh the rest of them. Which often leads to weird pauses and me having to have ... |

| I get the same chill down the spine when moved by a strong emotion in music, an especially heroic section of a book or movie and so on. I sometimes get a really potent version where my entire body spontaneously goose bumps. It goes from the top of my head all the way to the hairs on my toes and ever... |

| Unlike the myriad of twistedly wierd Japanese and other asian films, The Happiness of the Katakuris is actually pretty light, yet full of wierd. Probably not for young kids, but nothing that would make a nun blush (that I can recall). It is about a small inn up in the mountains that gets a visitor w... |

| I was home schooled from 6th grade through high school. I had more interaction with other kids my age in a year of homeschooling than during all of grade school. My mom joined a home school group where families got together about every other week for some sort of activity. The parents would take tur... |

I pray they find this kid safe and sound soon. |

Looking at that from the opposite angle is like saying I am really good at waiting around until I am given an order. I then roll up my slee... |

| I've also run into people who don't like ANY children in ANY public places. Those are extremely hard to deal with, and I've had my fair share of hard times with them, especially when my child is playing quietly in the library while I'm trying to find the book I want. One *%#*$ woman even called my ... |

They were the primary ones that I knew were troubling me, so it makes sense to learn to handle those. However I went to a person that specia... |
