Generally speaking, I'm an introvert - but I become extroverted whenever I'm not introverted.

Some days I'll feel very extroverted, but then night will come and I'll suddenly become extremely introverted.

I like to be by myself most of the time, but other times I love being around people. But with some people I tend to be very shy and guarded, and with other people I'll be boisterous and fun.

When I show up at a party, I usually make a lot of noise to let everyone know I'm there, unless it's a party I don't really want to be at, in which case I just sort of bide my time and go through the motions.

I tend to excel at work that lets me have my space and figure things out on my own, but mostly I love working with people. I'm all about teams that let me do my thing without a lot of distraction.

My personality type is basically your classic in-your-face A, always making jokes and taking up a lot of room. But that's not really the me me. Deep down, I'm a sensitive, poetic soul - the kind who may not catch your eye, but just might catch your voice.

I thrive in solitary pursuits that require a lot of intense concentration. Sometimes I’ll spend a whole Saturday just totally lost in some private little world of my own making, and I must say, after all that it’s so great to get out on the town and just go crazy with a bunch of friends. It’s really important for me to be able to let off some steam now and then.

I like a little excitement in my life, a little danger even. I love testing my limits and trying new things. I’m one of those people who loves singing in the shower but would never dream of singing in public, so I try to push myself to perform concerts as often as possible. My comfort zone is naturally pretty narrow, and I have to make sure to stretch it as far as possible. I’m never more alive than when I’m on the stage remembering being alone.

The truth is, I am everything and nothing, the beginning and the end, the summa and the plethora, all things to all creatures - especially me. I guess I'm just one of those in-between people.
