Amusing text about us introverts.
“After an hour or two of being socially “on,” we introverts need to turn off and recharge. This isn’t antisocial. It isn’t a sign of depression. It does not call for medication. For introverts, to be alone with our thoughts is as restorative as sleeping, as nourishing as eating. Our motto: “I’m okay, you’re okay—in small doses.”

This website is pretty cool. Type in your address and it gives you a score (out of 100) based on how ‘walkable’ your neighborhood/city is.
My home at UNC is very walkable with a score of 89 but my parent’s home has the sucktastic score of 6.
It also gives you a public transportation score.
How does your neighborhood stack up?
Love this. Where I live now: 35. Meh.
Lambertville, where I nannied: 75. totally. I need to get back there. I’m going to move back. That place is the best in the warm weather months.
