1) To be perfectly honest I am not very well informed about charities, so I'd probably start with some research. I think I'd like to pick something benefitting children from bad family situations. Our family and their standing in the world determine so much of our chances that those kids often don't have a fair shot at life, and I'd like to level the playing field a little. I can also see donating to cancer research/care. So many people have lost or are losing someone to cancer, and more funding to improve treatments or people's chances can't hurt.
2) I am very solitary, and I know it bothers some of my more extroverted friends and family members. Sometimes I just have to retreat and shut myself off for a while. It's entirely an 'it's not you, it's me' thing, but that's probably hard to know when I say no to meeting up or doing things together. I don't think I could change it much without entirely changing my personality. I'd like to be a little less solitary, sure, but I wouldn't want to be an entirely different person, just to do so.
