I’m getting back into belly dancing. I hadn’t been to classes since about August last year, having been too busy with work-related stuff, etc etc. It’s good to be back into it. I’d put on weight over that time and I’m hoping I’ll lose a bit again. It’s quite a workout if you’re moving for the whole [...]

I always have been and have always been made to feel somehow not normal for being so. Extroverts seem to regard it as being something to pity. So I read this article with delight:
