Moving Day

     Soooooo this is a super big day.

     Because I'm switching from Blogger to WordPress today.

     I'm officially moving my blog from THIS website that you're on right now . . . to THIS website.

     I could not be more excited about this! If you want to know more about why I am changing, head on over to my *new* blog -> www.averagegirlweb.wordpress.com.

     PLEASE follow me on my new blog, so that you will get notifications when I post something. The only thing is, if you click "Follow," you might have to create a WordPress account to follow me, but it's totally worth it, because I'll be posting a bunch of awesomeness in the next few weeks. Just warnin' ya. There's a ton of awesomeness coming your way.

     See you over there on my new blog! 

8 Things All Introverts Think, But Never Say


1. "I want to go home."

     It could be the greatest party ever or the best sleepover ever, but an introvert will always want to go home. Always. It's not the company, it's just his personality. Don't be offended.

2. "I'm just listening to be nice."

     "In my mind, this conversation is over and I'm at home alone eating ice cream in my pajamas." Again, don't take offense. The President could be talking to them, and they would still rather not be talking to him.

3. "I'd rather be sleeping."

     Not necessarily because they're tired, just because they'd must rather be alone in bed, dreaming of not ever having to talk to people again.

4. "I'm scared of huge crowds."

     Seriously, they terrify me. I get a little bit nervous and hyperventilated. When I'm in a crowd, I can literally think of a hundred things I'd rather be doing.

5. "Leave me alone please."

     Not in a nasty, stop-bugging-me-or-I'll-kill-you sort of way, but in a I-need-some-alone-time-to-recharge sort of way. Introverts need some time each day alone to...

refresh,

rejuvenate,

regenerate,

renew,

restore,

revive, and

re-energize

...before having to socialize again. If you want an introvert to like you, let them have their alone time.

6. "I'm not saying anything because I'm thinking."

     Quiet people have the loudest minds. A quiet mouth is usually the sign of a thinking mind. Introverts think too much sometimes. They think of every possible scenario before it happens. They think of what they'll say if a stranger says hello. They think of what they'll say if they have to confront someone or ask them a question. It's scary, and they think of every possible scenario.

7. "The reason I'm so quiet is because I don't feel comfortable around you."

     The funny thing about introverts is once they feel comfortable with you, they can be the funniest, most enjoyable people to be around. It's like a secret they feel comfortable sharing with you. Except, the secret is their personality.

8. "I'm not antisocial."

     "I'm not mad or depressed. I just need to not talk to anyone for a while and that's okay. Don't get mad at me for being quiet. I'm doing it for your own good."

And finally, some introvert humor...

Saturday Snickers - 4/23/16


I can't tell you how many times people ask me, "Are you okay? Is something wrong," when I am just sitting there contentedly, staring off into space.

     1.     Roomfer

The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dogs.

     Of all the fonts in this post, this one is my favorite. Classy, yet chic. Brushed, yet readable. Scripty, yet elegant. It's perfect for quotes, titles, and pretty much anything else.

Download here.

     2. Pennellino
The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dogs.

     This font has a lot of charm and uniqueness. It has a somewhat "creepy" effect to it (or is it just me?), but it's still super-duper pretty. 

Download here.

     3. Bakery>
The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dogs.
     I love love love this font! It has a cool feature you might have noticed under the word. The > key creates a little swash under any word. You can emphasize your name, a title, or anything you want.

Download here.



    4 . Sophia
The quick brown fox jumped over the lazy dogs.

     This font is soooo sweet! It's a little bit different than the others, because you'll notice the lowercase letters don't go up as high. It starts by making a statement with the big uppercase letter, then finishes with smaller, elegant letters. ❤

Download here.













     This font is a little hard to read, but oh so pretty! I love the open loop in the h's, k's, b's, f's, etc.

Download here.

     So there ya have it. 5 of my favorite brush fonts. Hope you have fun experimenting with all of them!
