I think it’s time to start an Introvert Eco Village. This would be a place dedicated to quality of life, sustainability, and joining together to achieve mutual goals. This lifestyle has appealed to me for a while.
A few questions I’ve been pondering:
Who would be the ideal candidates to share this lifestyle (preferably introverts who won’t turn into obnoxious neighbors and enjoy peace and nature as much as I do)
What would be the ideal number of people to share this lifestyle? I think this question is somewhat dependent on what each person brings and requires. For example, if one acre of land can feed approximately 2 people, then a 10 acre property would support roughly 20 people, theoretically.
Issues: climate (who has a green thumb and a shred of experience growing food?) Who has construction abilities?
I will put this idea forth and see if any other introverts nibble on the idea, I think this could lead to good things. Please comment if you have thoughts to share or are interested.
I woke up thinking and wondering (as I usually do). Todays topics? Introverts and perhaps everyone, need a place to share thoughts. A place where the focus is on your thoughts and not the voice, the face, or the clothes. I like to be anonymous and have out with what’s on my mind without living with the consequences the next day, week, year.. It’s about energy conservation. Sometimes in class, a daring soul will say something controversial and get bombarded with questions and spend the next 5-10 minutes defending themselves.
Sometimes a person can be extrovert-like for a day–but then people wonder if something is wrong when you’re ready to keep to yourself again.
I think more of the doers in the world should practice thinking.
I wonder if introverts, in general, have more orgasms than our small-talking peers?
Oxytocin is a bonding hormone–so if couples who orgasm during sex then feel more attached to each other, I’m curious if this could also be released during solo-orgasming–perhaps it makes you like yourself more if you do it enough? Just a thought.
So-I bought a green heirloom tomato and took a big bite, it wasn’t ripe yet, but I swallowed it anyway. I’ll have to be more careful next time. According to wikipedia, nightshades like green tomatoes, contain small amounts of the poisonous alkaloid tomatine. At least I didn’t drink the leaves in a tea-that could be deadly.
I’ve been thinking a lot about death lately. I’m not depressed, at least I don’t think I am-but I am increasingly disappointed with the state of the world and can’t imagine a happy ending for the human race in general. This makes it hard to live among people in denial of their mortality. I feel like we waste so much time on the wrong things. We don’t appreciate the simple pleasures of the universe enough, and people are always in such a hurry to get nowhere important-and yet they always hope they are going somewhere better than the present.
So what should I do about that green tomato anyway? You’re not supposed to store a tomato in the fridge unless it is already ripe…but I already took a bite out of it so I can’t very well leave it on the counter.
You made it! Welcome to the exciting new world of happy introverts, a safe place to hide from the extroverts in your lives, while taking a little vacation inside the mind.
Please share your thoughts, (I know you have plenty of those!) Make yourself cozy, stay a while, learn, share, and make yourself happy-you are among friends. Welcome home to Happy Introverts!
