I think it's some kind of high-tech adjustable, vibrating memory foam mattress.

Thanks, everyone for all the nice birthday wishes! Had a great night, got a bit crazy, but why not?

Spent the actual day...er...doing pup stuff in my latex pup suit. What an oddly relaxing feeling, that is. Almost like a full body massage. Feels so much nicer to wear, than a fursuit, as the inside of 'fur' is kinda like a burlap bag. They need to make two-sided fur, so the inside feels fluffy, too : P

But just relaxing again today; have to venture out on the freezing cold for groceries...brrr...but I'm tired of Ramen, and I'm outta soda!!!

Weather is about half of what I talk about all day, and I don't talk much. But then again, it usually isn't small talk in my case.

You mean meteorology?

Maybe I would... for you. ;)

My previous two jobs were customer-facing and so awkward small talk happened all the time. Sometimes people have a hard time taking social cues as to when they should just shut the hell up and let me do my job lol.

Don't get me wrong, I like a good lighthearted chat. I also just can't fill every bit of space with words.

Luckily at my current job, it is not customer-facing and so small talk is almost non-existent :D

I'm pretty good at dealing with customers, provided my employers provide me with a steady supply of nails to chew on.

I like to make eye contact, myself...and find it comes pretty naturally. It's funny, I used to think I was some kinda moody introvert, but over time, have realized I am actually very much an extrovert...a sensitive, sort of artsy, intellectual one...I used to think that to be 'poetic' and 'deep', and all that, you just had to be an introvert, because that was somehow more cool. But then after I took a few tests, and in therapy, even, came to see I really find a great deal of meaning in connection to others. Yes, I need my quiet time to be creative, but unless I have others to talk to, and share those ideas with, and to be able to listen to them, to their stories, I get very unhappy. Sometimes I'm just happy to say very little, and listen to a person tell me about their life.

If I was an atom, or a molecule, I'd have lots of loose electrons, eager to bond : P

Oh, and I seldom growl...but sometimes : )

I, too, once thought that I was moody and "dark". Then I just realized that I was battling depression off and on :(

I turn my "extrovert" on when I'm required to. I find myself happiest when I form good friendships with a handful of people versus needing to be around large groups all the time. Some people find it hard to understand that I'm perfectly fine with spending a quiet evening at home by myself, instead of being constantly connected to the world.

I like my crowds in small doses, and spread out. Too much time spent in crowded places physically wears me out, and kind of triggers my anxiety a bit.

I find there are times I need to be around people I am familiar with.

There are also times that I have to be by my self to recharge.

Large crowds and social gatherings can be challenging. I find that too many conversations going on and high leavals of noise to be quite uncomfortable.
I much prefer smaller group gatherings.

Do have to be mindful not to crowd people I know when I am in busy socal situations where by I am feeling overwhelmed and out of place. Is very easy to slip in to staying close to what is familiar.

I have always felt that I struggle to read other people and to be able to communicate with them. This can be with people I know and complete strangers.
According to professionals this is quite the opposite and that they have found me to enguaging and empathetic.
So something for me to work on.

It used to overwhelm me too, years back when I was struggling hard with social anxiety. So I definitely know the feeling!

It's funny, I love going to stores and about town, even busy grocery stores...but the one place that I can never go again: Ikea. I went once, to one, and that was enough. That is a sure panic attack : )

I think any Ikea store could induce panic attacks in the most rock solid of people.

Huh, maybe Ikea is secretly owned by the makers of Valium, and Xanax!

Problem is how the hell do you find the Valium and Xanax in the Ikea store, after they have put it in a plain white box on one of those shelves in the warehouse with an unpronounceable name "Hugltlip"
