Hey, if you need three weeks, or whatever, then that's what you need. I've been known to tell people it's really in their best interest to let me have the time, because I am in such an icky state that I will not be pleasant to be around. Not that I mean to be unpleasant, just that I am. Til I get through it.
I like being around people for the most part, though. But another reason I think it's probably better that I didn't end up having kids... you really can't reasonably just tell them to leave you alone for a while. You can't stop the noise and the "crap what are they doing now" and the noise of their friends and games and whatever. I think if I was a parent, especially when I was young, I'd probably adjust. But looking at it from my present POV... I'm not so sure.
Hey, I'm curious about something, and I know you don't usually mind questions like this, so I'm gonna throw it out there. If it is something you wouldn't want to answer, though, feel free to say that. You won't hurt my feelings.
Do you find that living one place pretty much feels like anywhere else? I'm not saying the weather is identical or that some homes aren't physically nicer than others. I'm not even sure if I can really define what I'm saying, except that I've always had this ability to kind of "norm" wherever I land. Like moving here... I can definitely say it's different from Columbus. I live in a beautiful, large house, I have a man who loves me living with me, I have a job that is going pretty well and allows me a lot of control over when and where I work and what I do when I'm working, the traffic here blows so badly I feel homicidal, and I miss my Goldilocks to pieces. In fact, I miss just having female friends around!!! So it is definitely different, but I never felt that sense of alienation or like a culture shock that a lot of people say they do when they move. And I've always been that way. Everywhere I've lived it just felt okay to me, and I was pretty much at ease from the get go. Does that even make any sense?
And hey, I don't know if you remember that I asked a long time ago about your experience with performance theory. That time I didn't do a good job of explaining what I meant, and I had already packed those books so I couldn't even trot out names. I know where some of them are now, if you're interested in knowing what the heck I was talking about. :o) If you haven't read these people you might like their ideas and insights about performance. Just let me know.
