> Personally, I think Emily is not fidget, but than again, I do not know Emily well enough to give a factual statement. So, could you give me some insight to why you say Emily is fidget and uneasy with her life, unless she is doing something productive?
It's not true what he says, people just like to say stuff out of their own boredom, I'm sure. I actually never get bored...because having nothing to do doesn't bore me. I actually prefer having nothing to do. I'm not one of those 7s who has to be moving and talking and going all the time because they're so scared of being bored. I enjoy just sitting around and not having any external stimulation. It revitalizes me. It's the introvert in me, I'm sure...
> I know I am planning on going back to school and study more computer courses and hope to make a lot of money like my boyfriend does, maybe not as much since I am not willing to take up Calculus and Trig!
Good luck!!!!!! Going back to school takes a lot of courage! My mom did it when she was 38 years old, and at times was working 3 jobs plus part time school. She FINALLY graduated in 2000, the same year I graduated high school. Now she's 49 and working on her Master's Degree in Education!
> Is it the openness of sharing her journal and personal life with others bothers you, like it does Ryan? Perhaps, some people want to share their lives with others.
I LOVE my journal, and I love reading other people's journals. It's actually really fun, too! For the most part you aren't searching for random people's journals all the time, it's people you know. I'm watching my friends' babies grow up, and we can keep up on each other's lives without having to try to remember what's all happened in the last 3 months in a phone conversation later. The community boards on LiveJournal are the absolute best I've ever seen anywhere on the net. I have learned SO much since registering for LJ...you wouldn't believe it. It's a great resource, and a great way for introverts to interact! Yah I know some people like Ryan are annoyed that people have online journals, but I don't care. It doesn't annoy me, and actually enriches my life and keeps me in touch with my friends...that can be so hard sometimes.
Here's a yellow rose of friendship for you, Flower Pagan!
