antisocial

Blar. I was thinking of going to the Academy of Sciences anniversary festival thing, but I'm feeling rather withdrawn and domestic (cleaning/cooking) today. Meh.

Whyso? You've never struck me as the introverted sort.

Your phrasing implies that you've met me, but I can't figure out who you are from your journal or your userinfo, so you have me at a disadvantage.

In any case, I'm quite introverted. There is only one person in the world that to whom I am at all close, and I spend a good deal of time alone. If you've only met me for a few minutes at parties, the truth of the matter might not be very apparent.

You shouldn't be able to figure out anything, and my sincerest apologies. I'm nobody, never have been. The "met you before" thing was minor and meaningless, probably all of 3 emails. Running into you on LJ was by accident, and I only recognized you 'cuz you'd shown me your homepage before and I was like, "dang, I been here?!?".

Bad wording, bad all around, I'm a klutz.

Your antisocial post just clashed with what I'd "seen" of you from back then is all, and your comments now prompted me to go duuurrRRrrrRR??? It seems wrong for you to be holding yourself back from stuff you find fun.

I do know what you mean though, and it's not surprising really. Online I'm bold and weird and blather way too much. Offline I'm bold and weird for whatever it takes, but generally have a problem with my voice once the necessary intros are done.

You've really, really lost me.

When did I show you my website? That might help me to place you. A few emails, you say? Is this in connection with any mailing list, or anything? (If you are Miles Adams I will be quite startled.)

I'm not "holding myself back" (and I don't know that I would enjoy it anyway), I just woke up this morning and didn't feel like going after all. But I hate to say I'll do something, and then not do it, without a good reason; in my own mind, "just not feeling like it after all" isn't a good enough reason (but I stayed home anyway).
