1000000%, Kell! Contrary to what most people think, I'm really a very mellow, thinking kind of person. I even prefer to travel alone if that says anything about it. I also love people, enjoy the comings and goings of friends and family but very much appreciate my alone time.

I don't like to be isolated, that's different, but there is something wonderful about eating alone in a restaurant, or having coffee with a book or my journal at a sidewalk cafe, or just doing my deskwork all in total solitude.

When I finished college, I vowed I'd never have another roommate again and succeeded until my mom died and Dad was in need of company. I avoid him like the plague!
