I wonder if there is something genetically wrong with me.  Besides the obvious, I mean!  I don’t have a Twitter account.  I don’t have a Facebook account.  I don’t even IM any more.  Looking around me, the vast majority of people I know - even those who aren’t all that computer-savvy - have at least a Facebook account.

So what’s wrong with me?

I really feel no need to communicate with anyone that way.  You’d think this blog is a similar device but it’s not.  First of all, there are only three people left in the world who ever read it, but that’s beside the point.  A blog is not interactive the way Facebook and Twitter and IM are.  It’s passive.  And so am I. 

Years ago, I took the Myers-Briggs test and scored, expectedly, extremely high in the “introverted” section.  (Please see name of this blog.) One of the characteristics of an introverted person is that they prefer time to think about responses before speaking.  Because of this, the highly introverted tend to work better via e-mails than phone calls or face-to-face.  That’s totally me!  The blog is the same way.  I get a chance to think and re-read before posting.  (Sometimes it doesn’t seem that way, as I tend to ramble on and on and on.)

I think that’s probably the crux of the matter.  But still.  Don’t you think I’d at least be curious about certain people?  I mean, I could be out there following Elizabeth Taylor or Ashton Kutcher on Twitter (they’re really the only two I’m sure have Twitter accounts ‘cause I read about it in the news).  But I really don’t seem to want to.  Curiosity is not a strong trait of mine.

And that’s the part I can’t figure out.  That’s what I’m curious about!
