I don’t know if anyone knows this, but I didn’t just wake up one day and decide to write a blog. The truth is that this is actually my diary. For about two years now, I’ve kept a diary on my laptop. Password protected of course. A few weeks ago, I decided to start writing my diary online instead. Old habits die hard, so even if I haven’t written here in a few days, the chances are that I will have written my diary and will eventually get around to cut and paste it to here…

Nobody in my real life even knows that I keep a diary or a blog. Well there’s one person, but he’s not in my real life. He’s a virtual person just like you people are to me.. just like I am to you. Anyways, my point is that nobody reads my diary, nobody gives me feedback on it, and I’d be horrified if they did, but for some reason when I get a comment here, or an email about my blog, I quite like it. So, since I started this blog, I’ve had a few emails, and I thought I would answer them here. (Of course I am very polite so these people have already been replied to in private too )

Ok.. TrueBlu76 emailed me to tell me that she (I think you’re a she) is sorry that Mr Ex left me, but feels that I let him get away with cheating on me scot-free. My response to that is this: Don’t be sorry he left me, because I’m not anymore. As for cheating on me, I know he did me up like a kipper but I believe he was caught between a rock and a hard place – torn between a woman he had feelings for and a marriage to a woman he used to have feelings for. Besides, by the time I found out he had cheated on me, it was all academic. It was too late to do anything aboutm and I guess I feel like what would be the point of letting him know I’m hurt?

Dave emailed me asking if I would be so kind as to upload some of the pictures that I send Mr E. Well Dave – I would love to. However, there are two reasons I can’t do that. Firstly, I’m very shy and finding the courage to show those pictures to Mr E was hard enough, and I don’t think that’s a process I can repeat I’m afraid. Secondly, even though Mr E and I don’t have that relationship anymore, I wouldn’t want him to go thinking that I send those pictures to just anyone you know?!!  

Then I had two questions from Sylvie. Firstly she says that the name of my blog – Extrovert: Introverted is a contradiction in terms and she asks why I think I can be both an extrovert and an introvert. Secondly she wants to know what the people in my blog look like?! Well, Sylvie – I am an extrovert. I go out with my friends and I’m the loudest one in the group. I’m the one that talks to strangers, I’m the one who gets invited to parties to loosen everyone up. I’m loud and proud BUT I’m really shy and terribly introverted in a one-to-one situation.I can chat to someone for ages and yet they usually come away from the conversation knowing nothing about me, whereas I know everything about them. So, I am an extrovert and yet I’m very introverted at the same time.

As for a physical description, I told Sylvie that If she names someone in my blog, I will happily describe him/her!!!
