So far on this blog I haven't shared too much about my person life, because I didn't intend for this to be an 'online public diary'. However I feel like sharing some things. I don't know why.
Two weeks ago (on Monday, July 16th 2012) I started my job at Gloria Jeans as a barista. I love it. It's been really great. I get to make tons of coffee drinks all day and watch the mall crowd continually change. Today I went in after having a few days off. I realized today that I'm not really the 'new kid' or the 'train-ee'. I was pretty much just a regular old employee. I thought that I would like getting to that stage however, I don't. Even though I don't feel new, and other people don't think of me as new I still need help on more than a few of the drinks. So now when I ask questions like "What's the base liquid in a white chocolate caramel cookie chiller?" I feel like an annoying person who is constantly asking questions. The truth is, I've made dozens of white chocolate caramel cookie chillers, but I still forget the base liquid. That, and similar situations have really frustrated me.
Do you ever feel really thick sadness after feeling lots of happiness? Like looking back at your week you remember all the great times you had and suddenly there's a huge sadness that fills you? I don't know who or why I'm asking, I'm not expecting any answers.
I guess that's it.

To All Those Double Ear Pierced People!
I made this the other day, and I myself thought it was cool, and I've already received compliments on it. I thought I'd share.
Basically it's a short piece of chain with an earring hook at each end. Put one hook in each piercing and voila!
As Always,

Extroverted? Or Introverted? What?
I've been thinking a lot about extroversion and introversion lately. Now, I hadn't even heard of these things not too long ago so I feel like most likely not everyone has heard of them, and so I'll first give a little description of what exactly I'm even talking about.
Extroversion and introversion are two classifications of people. There is also Ambiversion, which is a little different, I'll get to that.
Extroverted people, the people who fit into this classification, are people who gain their energy when surrounded with people. Also referred to as the 'social butter flies' at least, that's what my dad always called me when I was growing up. Extroverted people don't do well by themselves.They are very very easily bored when alone.
Introverted people, the people who fit into the classification 'Introversion', are people who get all their energy by being alone. They are most 'alive' when they are by themselves thinking and being alone. Even if a person is introverted they can still enjoy being in groups of people, but they can get easily overwhelmed with many people around, and can lose interest with being with a whole crowd.
Ambiversion is the classification for people who fit exactly in between introversion and extroversion.
Alright, now you will have at least a slight idea of what the heck I'm talking about, hopefully. One thing you should keep in mind while reading is that I am verrrry extroverted.
I've been having a long discussion with an extroverted friend of mine. The two of us are both extroverted, and interested in what it means exactly to be extroverted. Recently we've come to the question: What determines whether you'll be an intro or and extro? Here are some possibilities:
1. You're born one way or the other.
2. Your up bringing determines which you'll be
3. Depending on if you're right brained or left brain helps or fully determines which you'll be
4. Does having dyslexia make it more likely to be extroverted? Why?
Now I'll give reasons why none of these really make 100% sense.
As for number 1: I'd say 90% of the children I've met haven't developed into either of the categories. They're just to young. Little kids get all their energy from things like sugar, and playing.
And number 2: This one I think at least has an effect on determining which you'll be, but I don't think it is the whole deal. An introverted friend of mine grew up with one sibling, I grew up with five. You'd think that someone used to being with just one other kid for most of the time would be an intro right? Well then there's the fact that I am homeschooled and this particular friend isn't. So that would mean my friend should be an extro because he is used to being around tones of kids all the time, and that I would should be an intro because I'm only around five other kids, and they're the same five kids all the time.
3's issues: I haven't really been able to think much about this one, because I don't really know whether any of my friends are right or left brained. Within the five kids at my house, those who are right brained are extroverts and those who are left, are introverts. This is excludes my youngest brother because I don't know if he is right or left brain, or if he's an intro or and extro, he's just too young.
And now on to the issues belonging to grand ol' number 4: Okay, if you're dyslexic you don't enjoy reading or anything that matters mostly in order and arrangement. Introverts like to read, dyslexic people don't. See what I'm getting at? I really don't know if this has ANY thing to do with extroversion or introversion but I feel like it is kind of related in a way. The issue with me figuring out more about this is that I don't know if my friends are dyslexic or not, at least, not most of them. Again though, in my house I have two siblings with dyslexia and both of them are extroverts. Coincidence? Or not?
Well that's all, if you've made it this far I'll be your mind is spinning. You might not be like me, but if you are you're probably now very interested in what makes people introverted or extroverted. Happy research to those who care!
As always (maybe I should come up with a new signature?) [Naw]
