Thanks for the book recommendation. I am definitely an introvert. More of a listener and watcher than a talker and/or doer.
My friends have usualy tried to get me into trouble more often than not so I depend more on the canine version of friends.
Remember my college friend Tom who used to like to get free meals by having someone call him away from his restaurant table and then he would skip out on the check. He often needed two people for this con; I always refused when he wanted me to do this. More often than not; my friends try to see how much they can get away with while still keeping the friendship. Not sure if this is an introvert trait to have friends who constantly push boundaries.
Tom also hit on one jealous husband's wives once too often and was stabbed six times in the chest area. He had a miraculous recovery as he was dead for about 6 minutes. Unfortunately, he was still sleeping with married women after his resurrection. Kind of thought this was a boundary I was not willing to cross.
After the trial of his attempted murderer, he sure had a ball though when the Indiana Jones character shot the sword welding villain in the first Indiana Jones movie. I went to see it with him at a Reno, NV movie theater. Tom could not stop laughing about it. His attempted murderer got off very easily because the jury sided with the jealous husband as Tom had tried to pick up this man's wife near a Nevada whorehouse (Mustang Ranch).
Tom had lost much of his memory related to university learning from the oxygen to his brain being cut off for about 6 plus minutes.
True life is often stranger than fiction.
