...except irishninja, unless he's not the one eating 'em: Free Sample of Chocolates.

I think I'm going to post this link at surprise_inside also. Haven't been there in months.

Edit: While I'm posting links, I'll add this one to an article with the oddest tone... Caring for Your Introvert. We are *so* the wrong audience for it.

after i passed it on to some folks at work someone pointed out various ways in which they thought the site looked shady. but i signed up anyway.

Everyone knows that I'll gladly take candy from a stranger, if that candy is chocolate and the stranger passes a few minor criteria.

[buhrger]

hey, i'm stranger than a lot of people!

[butterflydrming.livejournal.com]

Gimme some sugar, then.

[buhrger]

i think we've got some demarara somewhere. would that do?

[butterflydrming.livejournal.com]

Depends what you do with it.

Cubes make a simple & delicious hot chocolate recipe!

Like the fact that the domain is no longer registered. ^^; Did they just want our addresses so they could send us junk mail?

[butterflydrming.livejournal.com]

Wow. Promising chocolate as a lie... that's a special kind of evil.

[tsukikage85.livejournal.com]

It is, isn't it? But that's not for sure, just the most likely case.

[butterflydrming.livejournal.com]

We'll know if I never get mine.

[laurus-nobilis.livejournal.com]

I didn't know that community. It's interesting...

[butterflydrming.livejournal.com]

It's a little scary, often insipid, but I like the concept of it. If you ever have something you just have to share with a wider audience than your f'list, Surprise Inside is the place for it.

Mmmmm... introvert awareness...

an article with the oddest tone
i've been fond of the tone of that one ever since the first time i read it.

We are *so* the wrong audience for it.
yes. yes, you are.

[butterflydrming.livejournal.com]

-We are *so* the wrong audience for it.
-yes. yes, you are.

Like you don't already know the Care & Feeding of introverts!

i just followed the link to make sure it was the article i thought it was. who was it who said "in America, even the introverts are extraverted"?

[butterflydrming.livejournal.com]

Don't confuse "extrovert" with "obnoxious and rude". {smiles} I think it's funny how an article from March of '03 is still getting passed around. I got that link off of my extended f'list this afternoon.

[buhrger]

Don't confuse "extrovert" with "obnoxious and rude".
i wasn't :-)

I got that link off of my extended f'list this afternoon.
i've linked to it at least a couple of times from my lj, last time at the start of november.

But have you gotten anyone to stop asking "What's the matter?" & "Are you all right?" Those questions filled my childhood until I learned to hold a lighter expression on my face while daydreaming lost in thought.

[buhrger]

But have you gotten anyone to stop asking "What's the matter?" & "Are you all right?"
my lost in thought facial expressions seem to translate more often as "grrr! argh!" than "woe is me!" - if i can keep the outies scared enough, they leave me alone :-)

When you're an old man, you can carry a knobbly stick, too. Maybe you can wear a deep hood, so that your scowl is more terrifyingly shadowed.

[buhrger]

i'd happily wear a deep hood - any ideas where i could get one, or whom i might ask to make me one?

i sha'n't comment, on the other hand, on the kobbliness of my stick. ;-)

[ironymaiden]

aw man, i wanted to add another verse.

A wizard's staff has got a knob on the end, knob on the end, knob on the end...

...'tis big and round, and weighs five to the pound

[butterflydrming.livejournal.com]

ROFLMAO

[mimerki.livejournal.com]

That's always worked for me.

In Soviet Russia, Introverts Extravert YOU!

I think the article is wonderful. I date a shy feller ya'see.

Adendum: As I finish it, I note that it seems more like a guy ranting about the indignities thrust upon him rather than wanting to give actual advice.
