    Seeing things in black-and-white terms

    I can definitely relate to this and it doesn't bother me. I'd rather be certain of where I stand than not be able to make up my mind at all. I suppose at times, when my husband (who is good at finding those "gray areas") gets frustrated that my mind is so absolutely black and white of the idea...

    Trying to figure this out

    Does he have trouble remembering things he wants to say? Perhaps he simply couldn't wait to tell you or he would forget? Regardless of his reason, I would consider it rude.

    Do you forgive easily?

    I can forgive things that were honestly unintentional, and things that I would consider minor offenses. (Things I can rationalize and are "honest" mistakes.) However bigger things that are unjustified, repeated offenses, or unprovoked callousness is not something I like to forgive. There should...

    What goes through your mind when you are meeting someone new?

    Interesting post, epath. : ) My thoughts are more panicked. I try to rationalize everything weigh pros and cons before I make any sort of statement. Somehow, I still put my foot in my mouth too often. Though sometimes people think I MEANT to make a joke and they all laugh. :-D

    What goes through your mind when you are meeting someone new?

    Here are a couple of scenarios that may help. Example 1: You're at some sort of meaningless social gathering and you accidentally make eye contact with someone and they start walking over. ::Your thoughts here:: The person then introduces itself and pauses. ::Your thoughts here:: For some...

    What is your dream job?

    I'd like to own a chain of doggy salons. Dogs make better clients than people. Probably sounds like an odd dream job, but it would make me unbelievably happy. AND I would be surrounded by tons of well groomed dogs. Though probably plenty of little prissy ones that aren't well trained as well...

    Comment by 'AnneTheEmpress' in 'Singled Out'

    I was a medical assistant and also did x-rays. I got fired recently because I wasn't social enough for the office gossip and for me to do my job, hers had to get done first.. it's one of those things. It took longer for me to get my job done because she stopped doing hers knowing that I would...

    Comment by 'AnneTheEmpress' in 'Religion--Handle With Care'

    I realize that this is an old blog entry, but I had a similar experience at the church we just ditched. It was a small church and I thought it would be easier that way, for me to deal with. I should have realized that there would be a reason that it wasn't growing. Fortunately, we weren't...

    Are you too open or too closed?

    It depends on the situation. Most of the time, too closed. Online, I overcompensate because I am more comfortable and spill too much sometimes.

    Interests from childhood that you never really got over

    My major interest has and will always be making music. I officially started when I was 5 and only had one year where I stopped. Before I was five my brother had started playing in orchestra and he would help me make sounds on his cello. : ) I still remember it vividly.

    Social Anxiety?

    Has anyone found a way to cope with these sorts of issues? so far all I've been able to do is suffer through it. This approach is very "sink or swim" and usually ends up with me barely treading water. I haven't died yet, obviously. Lately, due to the arrival of my perfect little boy...
