— | Susan Cain, Quiet: The Power of Introverts in a World That Can’t Stop Talking |
Tuesday, March 6, 2012
“Studies have shown that, indeed, introverts are more likely than extroverts to express intimate facts about themselves online that their family and friends would be surprised to read, to say that they can express the “real me” online, and to spend more time in certain kinds of online discussions. They welcome the chance to communicate digitally. The same person who would never raise his hand in a lecture hall of two hundred people might blog to two thousand, or two million, without thinking twice. The same person who finds it difficult to introduce himself to strangers might establish a presence online and then extend these relationships into the real world.”

Almost my bedtime
Listening to one of the CDs that my pen-pal over in Ireland made me. I didn't recognize a lot of the song titles, but after hearing the songs, I know more than what I thought I did. My roommate has played some of the songs before.
I also just finished chatting with a friend on FB. I haven't talked to her in a long time. She was my high school nurse, and a member of my church. But since these last few years of college have kept me from going home much, I have lost contact with a lot of people. So it was nice talking.
I am going to let this CD going through the songs one last time before heading back to the dorm and reading TFioS.
