Things are always happening

I've said before that I'm going to do more blogging.  Then I go back to Facebook for whatever reason.  I guess I don't really like blogging, nor do I like Facebook.

I'm an introvert, but it's not that simple.  As I get older I am learning how my nuanced personality affects my worldview and how I interact with the world.  One aspect of that I've been thinking about lately is friendships.  We've lived in Arizona for 2 years now.  And I have a couple friends.  Nothing special.  It takes me a long time to find friends.  I think that things like Facebook hurt my ability to make friends, and even maybe my desire.  I work at home during the day, so I don't have coworkers I see and chat with.  The only people I see during a given week are Danny, Zoe, a couple other moms at school, and that's about it.  During summer, it might be just Danny and Zoe.  I find that sometimes I "flee" to Facebook to feel like I'm getting some human interaction.  And I'm not really getting that interaction.

Now not that this is really bad, but I think it's bad for me, and my personality.  It makes me less likely to actually have a conversation with people.  Call my friends on the phone, say.  So I need to work on that.
