Blah
Going out tonight to hang with really cool people and going to really cool places. But my job leaves me alone with nothing but my thoughts and an itunes playlist badly chosen for eight hours a day and my week has left me feeling overwhelmingly melancholy and all I want to do is lie on the couch with her and fall asleep. No. Such. Luck.

Caring For Your Introvert →
“Do you know someone who needs hours alone every day?

Who has to be dragged to parties and then needs the rest of the day to recuperate? Who growls or scowls or grunts or winces when accosted with pleasantries by people who...

Mamihlapinatapai →
bestofwikipedia: Mamihlapinatapai is a word from the Yaghan language of Tierra del Fuego, listed in The Guinness Book of World Records as the “most succinct word”, and is considered one of the hardest words to translate. It describes “a look shared by two people with each wishing that the other will initiate something that both desire but which neither one wants to start.” (via Martin)
