Life of the fecking party because I can't stand awkward silence. Especially when someone drops the needle on the rekkid, drop the needle on the rekkid, drop the needle on the rekkid . . . . and its Milli Vanilli or summat.

Well let me think......

im abit of everything mixed into one(except for the introvert), i can start a conversation if im in the mood to do so, i also like to be a watcher so i can see how everything is.

I can be shy in one to one meetings with people i dont know but im not shy in my first meetings with my students who i have to recruit for my course.

Also i can feel very intimidated when i have to do presentations for my job when i have to go to agencies but then i am fine when i deliver to my students, im such a strange fish

Definately more of the outgoing type. If there are three strangers at a party or meeting I will jump right in and get a conversation going. I love meeting people.

And like Babs, if somebody starts playing Milli Vanilli I can't control myself

Sometimes the conversation may dry up which is inevitable if the company are a bit shy and I find if you crack a joke or two it eases the tension & breaks the ice. If there's a guitar in the room well I can't stop myself from playing & if I can get them to sing along well the atmosphere is gonna kick right off.

It depends on the mood of people. Some people just wanna listen to records all night. If thats the case I'll sneak off somewhere with the guitar to the garden or patio & if people wanna listen or join thats fine.

Funny enough ... I am naturally an extrovert. I am gregarious and entertaining -- I think it is my sense of humor, which may or may not come across on here. We'll see. However, I have become increasingly more introverted in the past few years. I think a happy balance between the two is the place to be.

Interesting stuff... check it out. If anyone does -- let me know what you end up with. I am an ENFP =)

It's hard to blend into a crowd when you are 6'9" and weigh 275 lbs. I had to learn real quick to be personable, because people ask tall folks some really STUPID questions. Yes, the weather is nice up here, and No, I don't know how I got this tall!!

Eck....depends. I am super shy but over compensate so most people think I'm SUPER friendly.

Only family and old friends know I'm shy...the friends I've made in the last few years think I am really extroverted.

One does one's best to accommodate everyone's taste and values. Especially the ladies of course. Besides you're always here to keep others company.
