This article from "The Atlantic" is interesting.

"Are introverts arrogant?...I suppose this common misconception has to do with our being more intelligent, more reflective, more independent, more level-headed, more refined, and more sensitive than extroverts."

Ha Ha. This sentence seemed a little bit contradictory to me. However, I have been known to enjoy the occasional conversation with an honest-to-goodness human being making me a little bit of an extrovert, which could explain why I don't quite understand such logical, level-headed and intelligent thinking.

Well, I'm glad I know a little about a lot.

I went on another blind date this weekend. I was set up by 18-year-old Littia, who now knows TWO people over the age of 24. Conversation between these two people revolved around these five topics:

1. "Jackass:The Movie"
2. The chemical properties of caffeine.
3. The Aston Martin Vanquish
4. Why carbon is such a common element.
5. Seattle, a nice place to live.

The Anti-Indie

There are just some things that are not to be worn to a hipster gathering. For example...what I was wearing to a hipster gathering last night, which included:

1. Pair of black Athletic Starter warm-up pants, with white stripes, purchased at Wal-Mart.
2. Bright green oversized Mossimo hoodie with the number 71 on it, purchased at Target.
3. Pair of white athletic Puma knock-offs, with bright red stripes, purchased at Payless.
4. Long blond hair, my own.

Unfortunately I had no redeeming hipness in me. Since I had just come from a hip hop class, I appeared to be made entirely of jock and ja-rule. I was repeatedly asked if I played basketball, and what I liked about being blonde.

This weekend I saw the movie "Solyaris" at the local university which, naturally, inspired me to write the "Top Five Signs You Might Be Attending an Art House Movie, But Probably Not an Art House University."

1. When the movie ends abruptly (we're talking mid-sentence here), half the audience gets up to leave assuming it's just one of those "quirky art house movie endings."
2. When we say "half the audience" we're talking three people, the other half consists of you and the guy who fell asleep in the row in front of you.
3. When half the audience discovers that it's just a technical blip and there is still some movie left to go, they leave anyway.
4. When one of the characters asks "What is the meaning of life," a member of the audience kindly and vocally suggests that he give Mormonism a try.
5. Although several thought provoking questions, such as the nature of love and humanity, are developed in the film, the only question on everyone's mind is, "Where is George Clooney?"

I think I could be a poor eater. I guess this was bound to happen since I work in a chocolate factory and I don't know how to cook. But I didn't realize how bad it had gotten until today when I was rummaging through some trays of different products to find something to eat and my thought process went something like this, "Choose the chocolate covered caramel pecan pretzel rod. Pretzels are covered in salt. Salt is also found in meat. Meat is a food group. Therefore the caramel pecan pretzel rod is a healthy alternative to fudge covered oreos, which have absolutely no redeeming nutritional value."

Fortunately, my diet also includes junior bacon cheeseburgers which have a slice of tomato and a piece of iceburg lettuce. And...I usually eat TWO of them at a time. I know, I know...so much nutrition in just one person is a little mind-blowing isn't it?
