Hey all: moonmaiden76 alterted me that I had the introvert and extrovert turned around in my movie trivia answer. She is correct! Here’s the actual quote (the rest is in the post). Thanks, moonmaiden!
Kitty: Dr. Talbot says that I’m an intravoyt (spelled phonetically to capture Jean Harlow’s marvelous pronunciation) and you’re an extravoyt.
My apologies to visitors: there is something wrong with my blog alerts — been buried in a writing project so haven’t written here for ages (ironic, huh?). Also, a great book — Hyperculture by Stephen Bertman — inspired me to sloooow down on all this electronic media. That said, I don’t want to miss your comments. Keep ‘em coming — I’ll be better. Mea culpa, Laurie

Funny how the human brain has an imperceptible error correction feature built in. I’m willing to bet most people (me included) didn’t notice that.
I’ll add Hyperculture to my reading list. Another excellent book, tangentially related to it, is “The Paradox of Choice” by Barry Schwartz. Watch one of his TED talks for his whole argument in a nutshell:

I just read your book today. What can I say? Thank you. I feel so validated. I have been one of those accessible introverts all my life. Thank you!
