livin' that introvert life
Best-friend-family have a lot of wedding obligations to attend, so we decided just to meet for breakfast this morning followed by a quick jaunt down to Granville Island. Semi-namesake marveled at the pigeons and seagulls and went absolutely bug-eyed for any buskers we came across. She's already so musically inclined, which is not a surprise given who her parents are. We also stopped by a section of shops I never really go into, and I finally got to visit the fabled Paper-Ya! Despite never really using it in any kind of meaningful way, I am an absolute sucker for stationery, so it was a bit of a dangerous undertaking for me. I even found the "one line a day" journal that I ultimately opted to leave behind for this Dreamwidth endeavour!
Just when I thought I was going to make it out unscathed, I came across this:
This is basically a summary of me in one sticker sheet, although my enjoyment of warm drinks (like the pictured teacup and teapots) is still very much in its lukewarm infancy. I always joke that in being a shy introvert, I have the worst combination of traits when it comes to trying new things or meeting new people, and that remains true. But I have always accepted my introvert ways, and even if my job has forced me to make a decent impression of being an extrovert, I suspect that even now I would still score very high on the introvert scale. It's also one of the reasons I think I may be a "cat lady" for life - I am so used to and comfortable with being alone, and there's a certain kind of freedom that comes with being single and only doing what you want to do when you want to do it. I sometimes wonder if I can ever be unselfish enough to give that kind of independence up, even if I could find someone who was remotely interested in me.
