I actually had good intentions to visit this thread last night and join in, but accidentally fell asleep trying to get my rambunctious preschooler off to dreamland. I *want* some of that energy!
I have visions of us sitting in a forest clearing, and I'm insisting on talking while you guys want to just be.
*grin* With your introversion score of 74%, I bet we could manage a compromise (it's the plane passenger or person on line who needs to *constantly* be in a conversation in order to feel secure that drives me really bonkers). Like smillaraaq's comments below, it's easier to be doing mechanical things in a group setting, so I'd be fine if it were something that didn't require intense concentration. And although I can't really write and carry on a conversation at the same time, I'm actually very good at tuning out background noise so I don't have a problem writing in a public place or in a crowded house.
And looking at my and smilla's Verbal/Linguistic scores in comparison with free9's, it's no wonder that we seem to dumping out buckets and buckets of words
This is actually a really eye-opening comment for me. I've always wondered how some people are able to be so prolific in lj. I thought up to this point it was entirely a time issue, that some folks just had jobs that allowed some surfing during the day, or had more time in the evening to journal. Now I'm realizing that at least a portion of it might be due to personal style. A person who has a lot of verbal/linguistic tendancies can probably put-together a paragraph a lot more quickly than one who is very deliberate and has to fact-check everything. Huh.
... if we all got together FTF
*sigh* I had been hoping to go to Otakon this year, and as such (since your location is posted in userinfo) I thought it might be cool to suggest meeting up. Unfortunately, a family obligation is going to prevent me from attending the con this year. Maybe next year, or if either you or Smilla ever decide visit the New York area....
