Do you know someone who needs hours alone every day? Who loves quiet conversations about feelings or ideas, and can give a dynamite presentation to a big audience, but seems awkward in groups and maladroit at small talk? Who has to be dragged to parties and then needs the rest of the day to recuperate? Who growls or scowls or grunts or winces when accosted with pleasantries by people who are just trying to be nice?

Like Kottke, I so identified with this quote and loved the article on Introverts.

Many of life's failures are people who did not realize how close they were to success when they gave up. Thomas Edison

girl turns 32

A person is not old until regrets take the place of Dreams.

John Barrymore

Today is my 32nd birthday and luckily, I haven't any regrets.

A little tootin' of the horn here, but today it was announced that the site I created, Girls Guide to City Life is a finalist in the "blog" catagory for the 9th Annual SXSW Interactive Web Awards! This is my second nomination (the last one was in 2003) and I'm so thrilled and excited.

If you're going to be at SXSW this year, let me know as I'll be there from the 11-14th.

Alsom if you have a moment, please check out Girls Guide to City Life and then vote for it for a People's Choice for the 2006 SXSW Web Awards. It'd make me happier than a pony named pepper.
