An energetic, vibrant personality.<\/p>\n<p>But that\\&#8217;s really not me.  To some, I am one of the most outgoing people they know.  In Pittsburgh my last year, I was able to gather people together&#8211;organize events and the like.  The driving force, some said, to get events going.  But I can\\&#8217;t constantly do it.  I prefer being in the background&#8211;a wallflower.  I prefer being in a group and observing what people say or do.  It\\&#8217;s much more peaceful.  And the thing I love doing the most now&#8230;is write, read and sleep.  Activities of the loner.<\/p>\n<p>I am tossed in the unknown, where I know almost next to nobody.  It\\&#8217;s intimidating.  It\\&#8217;s scary.  Of course, the path is set for me to succeed and connect.  But it\\&#8217;s a strange position to be in when I have gone from a loner to an extrovert and then back again.  I love people and what makes me happy is when I can bring people together to interact.  And yet, here I am, almost embracing it but treading timidly at the same time.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Most of the time, I imagine myself as the extrovert.
