I tend to write about other things, though I feel starting the blogging process is a good motivator to do new things so you can write about.

I observe a lot, I'm not incredibly social. But when I make the effort to be, that's where I've had the real fun. That's when I realize that we are made for community and relationships. I never really go into social situtations thinking I will make a new friend, but when I do, I am pleasantly surprised. Probably one of the reasons we all like blogs--we're getting to know each other, and on a deeper level too. It's like we're all dating. haha. I really am like you in many ways.

Some days I feel like I do and other times not. I like that you mentioned that when you don't talk a lot, you learn so much more. This is something that I need to work on. I am CONSTANTLY talking. I even notice this when I'm with friends and mentally tell myself to shut up. I love that you have such a strong sense of self.

I am in a routine that I don't see the end of. I do the same things on certian days and I know I need to do something different but can't seem to get myself to do it because where I am is comfortable. I hate meeting new people. I am shy and I have to force myself in different situation. I actually don't care too much for social interaction. I prefer to hang out at home with Hubby and my dog or my brother. But the wierd thing is, when I worked in retail, I had no problems going up to them and talking up a storm with them. Life is sure weird. Thank you so much for sharing. I really enjoyed it!!!

I agree with Jacqueline, don't apologize for who you are. You're content with your life and that's all that matters :) A little introspection never hurt anyone.

I think it's wonderful that you have a strong sense of who you are and how you prefer to live your life. I tend to life my life on the opposite spectrum because I really enjoy adventure, excitement, spontaneity, and socialization. But, once in awhile it does feel good to retreat back into my smaller world of routine and predictability. You sound a bit apologetic about your choices and you really shouldn't be! The way to chose to spend your days is entirely up to you, and what really matters is that you're happy with it. Thanks again for sharing this.

I too, like my routine and find comfort in it. Shaking things up every once in a while is good. Maybe I should do that more. I really enjoyed this post! I too, like my routine and find comfort in it.

As I may or may not have said before, you're putting yourself out there which means something bad can happen, you're letting your guard down, etc etc. And that can totally change things based on what happens. Sometimes that can be a wonderful thing, while sometimes it can end badly. That being said, there's nothing wrong with routine and "boring" day to day life. Believe you me, my daily stuff is not that entertaining or exciting either.

I tend to not throw things off too often, and I enjoy doing things in order, even down to brushing my teeth at the same time each day and putting my wedding rings back on in the same order after getting out of the shower. I'm almost superstitious when it comes to the order of things; I feel that if I change something one day, something bad will happen. Odd? Perhaps. I enjoy reading your blog. Your posts always make me think! I feel my life is slightly routine as well.

I swear, we're like the same person, only you can write and I can't. I never talk and completely live in my head. Sometimes I'll swear I had a conversation with someone and it will have all been imagined. Lately, I've been attempting to come out of my shell and engage more in the real world. To differ from my routine of work, school, and sleep. It's been hard and scary but I've had some great experiences because of it. I completely agree with everything you’re saying.
