The folks at Sunday Stealing rip off a meme from another blogger each Sunday. They give full credit and a link back to that author’s site, of course — and invite everyone to play along.
This week, “The Nudder Meme” comes from The Deer Yard.

14. Are you a social person?
To a point.
The first time I took the The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator was a revelation. Prior to that, I would have described myself as an extrovert because I am outgoing, not shy, and not particularly reclusive.
In reality, I am an Introvert because I get my energy from “dealing with the ideas, pictures, memories, and reactions that are inside my head, in my inner world. I often prefer doing things alone or with one or two people I feel comfortable with. I take time to reflect so that I have a clear idea of what I’ll be doing when I decide to act. Ideas are almost solid things for me. Sometimes I like the idea of something better than the real thing.”
I enjoy being with people, attending parties, etc. But I reach a saturation point and need to withdraw. BigBob knows that when we are out socially and I look at him and say, “I’m done,” it is time to go home. It is as if someone pops a balloon and all of the air escapes. My internal battery is drained and I need to be in a quiet environment to recharge.
I tell people that I was born to be a litigator because I believe that I have the perfect career for my personality type. I spend a lot of time interacting with people, but also a lot of time alone in my office researching, analyzing, studying, and writing.
15. Do you sleep alone?
Only when traveling without my family.
“Sometimes I like the idea of something better than the real thing:” When the husband, kids, and dogs get on my nerves, I jokingly tell them how much I look forward to my next business trip. Then I get to the hotel, check in, and lament the silence.
Recently, I was away from home for four days, came home for one night — just long enough to do my laundry and re-pack, and then left for another four days. When I got back, I was very happy to get into my own bed. I woke up in the middle of the night and was delighted to hear the familiar combination of human and canine snoring, and realize that Sophie had attached herself to me, as is her custom. Realizing that all was “right with the world,” I went back to sleep.
