This is so true - I hate being alone -- except for when it gives me the chance to reflect on how much I enjoy other people.
"Almost every person feels happier when they're with other people," observes Mihaly Csikszentmihalyi. "It's paradoxical because many of us think we can hardly wait to get home and be alone with nothing to do, but that's a worst-case scenario. If you're alone with nothing to do, the quality of your experience really plummets."

meeting influential people
My friend Chris was kind enough to take me to the Republican Senate House Dinner and who did I see? Whelp, you guessed it, Sarah Palin! Though I'm not a fan of her politics by any means, it was still exciting to meet her. Some photos I took with my phone while waiting to shake her hand are below.
She said, "Hi, I'm Sarah!" to every single person... and she wasn't as pretty or impressive as I'd imagined, but ah well.
This little Asian lady was so eager to meet her that I decided to snap their picture. She was very impressed that I said "you're welcome" in Mandarin when she thanked me for taking her picture (using her camera).
