Critical questions
So here's the all-important question of the weekend:
How does an introvert celebrate the release of his book?
1. Big blow-out party. Not so much.
2. Gathering of a few close friends.
3. On the floor in his room, rolled up into the fetal position
4. Drive to Alaska and live in an abandoned school bus. Later, die from eating poisonous berries.
5. Silent Reading party
6. Hold a sit-IN (get it?) at church on Sunday - during the passing of the peace/greeting time, have all the introverts remain in their seats, staring forward. Possibly sing "we shall overcome."
7. Gather a bunch of introverts to go to a public place, sit in one long row, and look at people. Just to freak them out.
What are some other options?

I say #2 while you are either doing #3 or #4. All the while enjoying some nice well crafted beers.
I'm up for #7 - just post time and place, and I'll sneak in and sneak out without you knowing I was ever there.
ah....thanks for the laugh. i love it!

#6 is perfect :-). I'm so happy I now go to a church that doesn't have a greeting time. Lo and behold, after months of being able to sit quietly without that forced mini-social event, I now actually do speak with some of the people around me before and after church for a few minutes--and even enjoy it.
Before I came to this church, I was visiting different ones and had about decided the best thing to do was to conveniently go to the bathroom during the "pass the peace" time.
Truth be told, I don't mind the greeting/passing of the peace during the service. But I'm also Presbyterian so it's pretty short and sometimes you're actually given a phrase to say "Peace of Christ be with you." I do think the symbolism of a community worshiping together is important, even if it's not our favorite part of the service. My extroverted wife likes it less than I do!
