Piqued
From last weekend's cuddle-sesh...It was a short, 3-day work week and I loved every minute of it. One of the rewards of travel is that my normally aloof mutt becomes very interested in snuggling (see above).Now on to the links:Happy Writer Mama wrote up An Introvert's Guide To Retreats (With People) but I'd say it's a great list to keep handy for any situation where you have to meet a lot of new people, especially people you want to be hanging out with.Guuyyyyyssss, I love post-apocalyptic stories + Walking Dead zombies and Margaret Atwood is one of my favorite authors, so it's only natural that I share her short how to survive a zombie apocalypse appearance on BuzzFeed.Tom Hanks is obsessed with typewriters. The cooler thing? I've gotten to see some of them because of my cool music industry-related job. Now if only he'd been working the day I was at his office... This NPR Book News link also covers Ann Patchett's comma correction and Lena Dunham's rage spiral. Obvi.20 Animals with Majestic Hair. My sister texted me this link and I actually laughed out loud, multiple times. I feel like at least half of these animals' internal dialogue is just "FML".For a happy Justine, sleep is the 2nd priority, coming in right below food, so it's no surprise to me that sleep-deprived bees are not able to give their little waggle directions as accurately as their well-rested counterparts. (I wish this article was longer. I love bees.)My friend T sent me this link about how introverts interact differently with the world, including an ah-ha moment for WHY I SIT NEAR EXITS. "When surrounded by people, they (introverts) locate themselves close to an exit...Whether it be by an exit, at the back of a concert hall, or an aisle row on an airplane, they avoid being surrounded by people on all sides".New motto for life: avoid people on all sides.And random share here, but @danlongo 's tweets are hilarious. We're like, almost real internet friends b/c he's friends with my actual internet friend Ciara.And that's that. Happy weekending xo
