Leave Me Alone!

I think I might be an introvert. Ever since I was a kid, it has always been a big annoyance of mine that I’d be deep in thought and someone would interrupt me asking, “Are you all right?” Apparently I must have this look of distress when I’m thinking, no matter what the subject is.
SarahK caught on to that quickly. She may be an introvert, too. I’d ask her, but she hates it when I talk to her.

  1. One time I was at a big convention, and there were about 2,000 of us praying, and I was really serious, and I guess I looked like I was in pain because three different ushers asked if I was alright. I was like “yeah I’m alright? What, you’ve never seen intercession before? Jesus sweat drops of blood you know!” Heh. Just because I look like I’m in pain doesn’t mean you should bother me! Sheesh!

  2. I was a hopeless introvert until I disovered that everybody else was hiding in the corner so to speak. So I now don’t care what people think cause they’er probably more srewed up than I am.
    Besides what the voices say is more interesting than what people talk about.

  3. Are you sure y’all two ain’t already married?

    BILL: [looks at me like i’m not good enough to be in his neighborhood]
    SARAHK: [calmly at this point] yeah, the gate code doesn’t work. that’s why i had to come in the other gate.
    BILL: yes it does!
    SARAHK: well, it doesn’t right now. i just tried. i couldn’t get in, and neither could the guy in front of me.
    BILL: [accusatory] what code do you have?
    SARAHK: [affrontedly] what code do you have?
    BILL: [argumentative] i’m not telling you!
    SARAHK: [arguing back] well, i’m not telling you either! that’s bad security!
    BILL: [just assume the whole rest of the conversation is argumentative] well, * i * live here!
    SARAHK: [mad now] so do * i *!
    BILL: oh yeah? where?
    SARAHK: XXXXX XXXX Lane! [should have added, as if it’s any of your business!]
    BILL: well! you don’t have a clicker??
    SARAHK: no i don’t! my husband bought this house before we were married!

  4. Frank’s “No” to the question, “Are you sure you aren’t already married,” means, “No, I am not sure.” If he meant he was sure he was not already married, he should have said, “Yes,” meaning, “Yes, I am sure we aren’t already married.” So the mystery deepens.

    That reminds me of that song by Suicidal Tendencies.. Institutionalized. After people interrupt you, do you ask for a pepsi?

  6. i’m the same way. that can be characteristic of a “phlegmatic” temperament. i’m also of that age when my thoughts are more precious because if i am interrupted and lose the thinking i usually can’t get it back again!
