Art journal week 43: Sociable

week43SociableSml

Week 43 of the ukstampers challenge prompt is: Sociable

  • Are you a sociable person?  Do you like the company of lots of people or prefer small gatherings?  Can you do small talk?
  • Can you amuse yourself, do you like your own company?
  • include some kind of invite on your page.

I do spend a lot of time by myself and manage to fill my day – I don’t understand these people who say they have nothing to do as there is always something to do and there is never enough time to do it all (which is why I am behind in these weekly journal pages).  Being in the seated position all of the time I find social gatherings where people are all standing around conversing 2 feet above me very tiresome.  Not only do I have to strain my neck looking up all of the time but I strain my ears trying to hear what they are saying.  This usually leads to me just nodding and smiling graciously and wondering what on earth they were talking about then going off to the kitchen, if I am not hemmed in, to find some food.  I am reasonably au fait at small talk but don’t ask me to do any public speaking or I will run a mile – so to speak.
