ePeople

When I sit in front of the computer, I want to read the news.

Then I want to read what people have to say...usually it's someone I know who's blog I am reading.

They have interesting stories, thoughts, and ideas. Sometimes, I even debate with them about their topics but mostly I sit back and listen to what they have to say.

Everyone is entitled to their own opinion and I am an information junkie.

A real Junkie.

Lately, I have been getting this writer's block and haven't felt like saying much other than one-off comments.

This must be the result of doing too much reading, writing and talking about my project at work. There comes a moment where you just run out of fuel.

Actually, I think it's the feeling you get when you've just completed a marathon. You train and devote every free moment to getting yourself prepared. Then you actually run the marathon and finish it. You feel good but empty all at the same time! Then you start to evaluate your performance and see where you can improve for the next one.

Yup.

I kind of feel like an addict. I crave the pressures, excitement, and results of a project but eventually need a break to just re-charge.

I am in 'break' mode.

Brought Back

It's funny how someone you know but never met brings you to a place that you have been to before.

I wrote here nearly a year ago and forgot what I had to say.

I had a conversation with someone about being alone. It was about how I found that I would rather NOT take a lunch than go to a restaurant by myself and eat alone.

I like people and I like the act of sharing a conversation with someone over food.

Social Creature, I am.

But then I am not.

There are many moments of my day where I flat out refuse to socialize and want to be alone. Holed up in my own space. Away from interaction.

Except a book.

I like a good book.
