Being Both Introverted and Extroverted, We Encounter These 9 Things

Being both an extrovert and an introvert is complicated but we're living in the best of both worlds.

When people ask us whether we would consider ourselves an introvert or an extrovert, we take painfully long to answer. Why not be both? We can be super outgoing at times, but some days we can also be shy, observing in the distance.

In society, we apparently don't exist, but we do. It might sound contradicting, ironic even, but we come in peace. It's the best of both worlds, really. Here are some things that we encounter.

1. You make plans for Friday night, but when the time actually comes, you realize you'd rather stay in and binge-watch some Netflix.

This is your 3rd week in a row you canceled on them, but it's okay.

2. You're having a socially productive day, talking to everyone and anybody. Then the next day, you just listen.

You've gone suddenly mute.

3. You want to be invited everywhere with your friends, even though you know you won't be going.

I think they're catching on.

4. You freeze up when someone asks you to do something because you're not sure if you want to or not...

Going out might be good for me, but the thought of staying in sounds better.

5. You come up with excuses way too much.

I forgot I have to go take a nap.

6. You spend a lot of time all by yourself.

Oh yeah.

7. But when you do go out, it's a good time.

To do list:

[X] socialize.

8. After you spend the day out with friends, at work, or at school, it's just too much communication with humans for one day.

You just need to rejuvenate for a moment or two.

9. At the end of the day, you are exhausted from it all.

You feel good, but you're happy to be back home in your own bed.

I am going to a rhyme without reason date function and I have looked at so many different rhyming words and I figured there need to be a new list of words.

If you like what you see, get a shopping cart going with these costumes.

Epic Creation Myths: Norse Origins Unveiled

What happened in the beginning, and how the heavens were set in motion.

The Norse Creation Myth

Now, I have the everlasting joy of explaining the Norse creation myth. To be honest, it can be a bit kooky, so talking about it is always fun. The entire cosmos is included in this creation myth, not just the earth but the sun and the moon as well. This will be a short retelling, a summary of the creation myth, somewhat like I did with Hermod's ride to Hel.

8tracks radio

We all scroll through the radio stations in the car every once in a while, whether its because we lost signal to our favorite one or we are just bored with the same ol' songs every day. You know when you're going through and you hear a song where you're just like "I forgot this existed!" and before you know it, you're singing every word? Yeah, me too. Like, 95% of the time. If you're like me and LOVE some good throwback music, here's a list of songs from every genre that have gotten lost in time, but never truly forgotten.
